Research has shown that effective use of reading strategies contributes to reading comprehension. Thus far, most studies on reading strategy use have been conducted with second language (L2) readers of alphabetic languages such as English. There has been scant research on reading strategy use of Chinese as a second language (CSL) learners. Among the limited studies examining reading strategies employed by CSL learners, the majority were focused on advanced learner's reading strategies, and less attention has been devoted to intermediate-level learners. Furthermore, although a small number of studies investigating intermediate-level CLS learners' reading strategy use had both non-heritage and heritage participants, no comparison between the two groups was made. Given the vast differences of the learning profiles of heritage and non-heritage CSL students, it is possible that the reading strategies adopted by the two groups and the learning outcomes could be quite different. This study addresses this gap in literature.

The purpose of Project Open is to improve augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The current study will focus on in-person interactions with AAC. It will focus on adults with ALS, cerebral palsy, and intellectual and developmental disabilities. We will video participants using AAC in everyday settings. We will video participants using AAC in planned ways. We will code the videos. We will look for problems that occur. We will look for the ways that problems are avoided. We will look for the ways that problems are repaired. The results will help us develop new AAC technology.

We want to know more about why women may leave a family planning visit without the method they wanted when they arrived. We are asking providers about their experiences providing family planning care and why this may happen.

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about LGBTQ+/queer college students' experiences with using campus recreation facilities. The information we learn by doing this study may help us develop protocols that help campus recreation facilities provide safe and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+/queer individuals.
