My group project, Newly Native, is a website that features a collection of interviews and analyses that explores how native language speakers react to errors made by foreigners who are learning the language, and how this contributes to the non-native speaker's confidence or anxiety.
My particular focus in the project, Newly Native, was to conduct an interview with Rocco English about how anxiety has effected his ability to speak a second language. In the interview, Rocco discusses his experience of learning Brazilian-Portuguese while attending tennis camp in Brazil and how this experience has influenced his motivation in learning the language. On the site, I include a biography of Rocco and an analysis of his interview.
