English Language Learners Needed for Paid Research Project

ELL students in grades K-12 are needed for a paid research project to be held at Bentley University.

Entrust Research & Recruiting is seeking students in grades K - 12 who are considered English Language Learners (ELL) to participate in paid research with Pearson, a well-known educational publisher.

Students who qualify will receive a $75 Visa gift card for their time and feedback. This study will be held at the User Experience Center at Bentley University in Waltham, MA. The session will last no longer than 45 minutes. The sessions will be scheduled the week of February 16 (February School Vacation week) and parking is free.

During the session, the student will be asked to explore a new ELL program on a tablet computer, and express their thoughts and opinions. With your child’s help, Pearson can help to greatly improve the ELL evaluation process for all students in the future!
