Overview and Scope
Despite the growing recognition of World Englishes, the emphasis on intelligibility over nativeness, and the importance of culturally responsive perspectives on teaching, the education systems in this continent still largely adhere to traditional native-speaker standards in English language teaching.

Each research study (both online) takes roughly 30 minutes, and awards a $20 gift card upon completion (for a total of $40 if both studies are completed). Both require the use of a computer.
Please consider participating, or even pass on the information to your Japanese-speaking communities and programs! I am also happy to answer further questions at my email add
