Faculty Vote on the following proposal Policy Regarding Research Requests:
“Whereas the ELI encourages research that will enhance our understanding and pedagogy of second language acquisition and whereas we equally recognize our duty to protect our students from being overwhelmed by requests for participation and from research that might be of dubious value to them as learners, be it therefore resolved that any proposed study involving ELI students must first be approved by the full time ELI faculty, whether or not such study is conducted at the ELI and that the approval process follow the guidelines outlined in the November 20, 2013 document entitled, “Policy Statement on Conducting Research at the ELI.”
Faculty approved the measure in the meeting, April 28, 2014.
This policy should also be posted to the main ELI website.
