Bilingual Sydney-based couples wanted for research participation

Researchers at Macquarie University are looking for bilingual couples and families to volunteer for a study on language, identity and culture. We are looking for couples where one partner is an Australian English speaker and the other learned English as an additional language.

Participation involves taking part in an interview where you will be asked questions about your life story, you and your partner’s language skills and your ideas about language and culture.

If you are a partner in a bilingual couple and are interested in participating in this study, please contact the researcher hanna.torsh at mq.edu.au.

Participation in this research is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. This research has the approval of the Human Research Ethics Committee at Macquarie University.
