Instruments

Thank you for participating on this research study. The study will not disrupt your everyday course activities. Students participating in this study will be asked to complete four pre-tests and five post-tests instruments that will attempt to record any change in their feelings of marginalization, anxiety, and language proficiency. Obviously, you will not be required to answer all of the instruments at the same time. This study presents minimal risks to you. All personal information and/or results from the pre-tests and posts-tests will be kept secure. The researchers will keep your information, and the results of the tests confidential.

The instruments are password protected. The research and/or your instructor will send you an e-mail at the appropiate time for you to take them.
