Hi everyone,
I just received this email today, and I thought that some of you might be able to help a fellow applied Linguist out :)
My name is Shengrong Cai, and I am an Assistant Professor of TESOL/Applied Linguistics at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. I am working with my graduate research assistant, Meghan Finley, on a research project that investigates non-native English-speaking TESOL graduate students’ motivation and experience in U.S.-based graduate programs. This study has been cleared by our IRB office (assurance number: FWA00002427).
If you can help us pass the following recruitment email (below) to the non-native English-speaking graduate students in your program, we’d greatly appreciate it. Participants’ responses are very important to this project. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at shengrong.cai@wright.edu.
Thank you very much for your assistance with this project.

-----Invitation to Participate in a TESOL Research Study-----
Dear TESOL Graduate Students:
We are writing to invite you to take part in the following research study: Motivation, Self-Concepts, and Identities of Non-native English-Speaking Student-Teachers.
The main purpose of the study is to understand the motivation of non-native English-peaking student-teachers in order to help them to succeed in the TESOL field. We are inviting non-native English-speaking students enrolled in TESOL (or related) graduate programs in the United States to participate in this study.
I am the principle investigator of the study. My name is Shengrong Cai, and I am an Assistant Professor of TESOL/Applied Linguistics at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. I will be working with my graduate research assistant, Meghan Finley, who is currently a graduate student in the English Department here at Wright State University, on this study.
If you agree to participate in this study, please fill out this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DJCX6DV), which will take approximately 30 minutes. Then, we will select about 5-6 participants to take part in a follow-up interview. Your responses in this study will be kept strictly confidential and used only for the purpose of research.
If you would like to know more about this research study or have any questions, please email or call me atshengrong.cai@wright.edu or (937) 775-2404. You can also contact my research assistant, Meghan Finley, atfinley.12@wright.edu.
Best regards,
