PARIS PROJECT
The
Paris Project is a short, longitudinal study of second language acquisition. This summer we will be studying a small group of native American English speakers who are learning French for the first time in one of the numerous French immersion programs in Paris.

Most
research on learning a second language has looked at highly competent non-native speakers under the assumption that interesting learning effects will not be apparent in novice speakers. However, more recent research has made it clear that second language learners may begin to show these kinds of effects very early on.

For
example,Charles Chang(2010) found that new learners of Korean started showing influences of Korean on their native English pronunciations of 'p', 't', and 'k' by their third week in an immersion program!

Our
goal is to replicate these findings and begin to tease apart some possible explanations for such early effects on the way learners speak and hear their first and second languages. To do this, we will conduct a series of short experiments with each participant while they are enrolled in a 6 or 8 week French immersion program.
