Study on use of native input looking for participants
https://forum.language-learners.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=5998
As some of you may already know, if you attended the Polyglot Gathering this year unlike me, an experienced learner rdearman from the HTLAL community (now on the new site forum.language-learners.org) is putting together a crowd of participants to study the difference between studying from native input and from classical sources. There may be interesting results concerning the efficiency, and the different strengths and weaknesses of learners from both groups. It is not funded by any university or institution, but unlike their studies, his addresses the real questions we, as learners, often have.
Basically, you need to be under level B2 in the target language, you will do an online test at the beginning, be assigned to a group, start in July and record your activities for half a year, get tested again, and enjoy the results he'll draw from all this. The more participants, the better.
