My application project will center on one student in my English 101.10 class. This student--whom I have already talked to about this and got the "okay"--is an American citizen and lived in the US for a few years after he was born. He learned German first but English quickly followed, he told me. However, he moved to Germany due to military obligations of his parents soon after. He has since been back in the U.S. for a little more than a month--since school started here.
I want to focus on his writing specifically and will enhance my research by examining both written work of his in English as well as through interviews with him about writing in English. He has told that being back in the U.S. after being gone since he was a little child has been a big adjustment, so I am very curious what I can find related to his writing processes, transfer, etc. in relation to this "adjustment."
