articles

i've sent 2 proposals for one book review and one article, and got a positive answer for the article... now i just need to write it. shouldn't be tooooo hard, it's not TQ!

have created a blog for the nnest caucus... people are getting in slowly, it's nice. hopefully it'll work well.

i'm working on my questionnaire, STILL... and making a lot of changes based on the interviews i had. the sad thing, though, is that once i'm done with the student questionnaire i'll have to redo the teacher and administrator questionnaires, since they should be approximately the same... brought the whole thing to the irb again and asked them to please work on it quickly because i STILL haven't been able to contact the school administrators and want to do it before the end of the semester! and then start on the translations.

i think i shouldn't worry about the math yet, and should have a short pilot at byu this summer and then redo the math, it'd make more sense to do it with students who are actually typical participants and not university students. i've been thinking about the poor results i got so far, though, and am wondering if it's not because i've put all the answers together instead of dividing them between native and nonnative teachers. their answers are quite different, i've noticed, so it'd make sense that they wouldn't work well together! we'll see...
