Statement of purpose (what you hope to show/discover)

 

The purpose of my study is about the types of helps or solutions English language learners are receiving in the schools and if that is enough for the student especially in the Latino community. I have a particular interest especially with students who have parents or family members who do not speak any English. I want to understand their struggle and their opinions about the schools and forms of teaching.

 

Detailed statement of your research question

What can we do to help improve the schools for English learners?

 

List of the information you need to gather

-       What are the students struggling the most with at home and school

A preliminary list of sources plan for gathering your information that includes:

 

         who/what you will be studying (for example: students in a College Composition class, how they think about the comments teachers write on their papers)

 I plan to interview 2 teachers one bilingual and one non-bilingual, 2 non English speakers students and 2 English speakers ( who come from learning background). I also plan to interview parents.

         where you will collect your information (for example: in interviews at Kean University)

I plan to collect my information at Charles j. Hudson # 25 and also from some family members

         how many subjects you will study (for example:. 3)

 

·         what methods you will use to conduct your study (for example:. interviews, textual analysis, discourse analysis)

I will complete interviews, textual analysis, discourse analysis
