Second Language Acquisition Interview - 4/20/2008 8:53:04 AM

I know this seems like an odd place to ask for school help, but CM is a majorly diverse place and I am getting a little desperate. My final project in my Second Language Acquisition class is to conduct an interview with someone who is from a different country about their schooling there and write a 5-10 page paper about it. They have given us a week to do this assignment...and the week is up on Saturday the 26th. The criteria is this:

The person must be in one of these ethnic groups...

Native American or American Indian,
Asian American/Indian,
Muslims, Followers of Islam, and Speakers of Arabic,
Haitian,
Hispanics, Latinos/as, and Spanish Speakers.

The person has to have gone to elementary and secondary school in their native country (although I'm not gonna be all that picky about it).

If I don't get this interview done I fail the class and that will be a disaster. It will move my graduation date back another semester and interfere with my student teaching...you get the idea. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me?! The interview is not all that long, can be done through email, and consists of pretty easy questions. Please email me as soon as possible if you are willing to help. I will be eternally grateful. You can either email me here. Thanks so much!!!

-Audrey

ps...if you need proof that this is a real assignment I can provide access to my syllabus for the class.

You could also try at Yahoo Answers. There are usually quite a diverse group there as well.

Good luck.

I am a foreigner with experience in different school systems, even though I do not fit in any of those groups you posted. Feel free to email me if you'd like.

Good luck :)

Your school has a strange definition of 'ethnic grouping'. Unless it's you?

lol kittin...I agree with you. But that is all straight out of the assignment. I will be glad when I'm done with classes like this. Until I finish this assignment, though, I can't be.
