Contract Research Reviews
Introduction
The Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network provides acquisition and transfer of knowledge from science to practice. It does so through original research projects, but also with targeted reviews of existing knowledge based on research results and applications. Graduate and Postdoctoral students are invited to apply for contract funding to produce Research Reviews. Four Contracts will be offered, one for each of the following questions:
- Does teaching infants (hearing, hearing-impaired, developmentally delayed) to use gestural signs enhance language development and language acquisition?
- Does experience with computer-based video games enhance children's literacy?
- What are the early indicators for risk of reading problems in children being instructed in their second language?
- Does background music enhance or degrade rate and comprehension for children's silent reading and is the effect age dependent?
The questions address contemporary issues of language and literacy that are of importance to children, parents, practitioners, and educators.
To be eligible you must:
- be a Graduate student or Postdoctoral student enrolled in a Canadian University
- obtain the support and supervision of a Network Mentor
- agree to the terms and conditions of the award
