I am writing to request your participation in my dissertation research study. I will be exploring how supervisors who are first language English-speakers perceive their training needs in order to effectively supervise English language learning supervisees. Very little research has been done in this area so I hope that my study will contribute useful insights to the profession and will be enlightening to both supervisors and counselor educators. I would appreciate if you would consider agreeing to be a participant for my study.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:18pt">In order to be considered a participant for the purposes of this study, you must meet both of the following two criteria:</p>
<ul type="square" style="margin-top:0cm"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:15px">English is your native or first language; and</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:15px">You are currently providing clinical supervision in a CACREP accredited program.</li>
</ul><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36pt"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt">I am planning to interview each participant twice, either in person or via Skype. If you agree to participate in this study, the time commitment required will be approximately 35-65 minutes for both interviews. The confidential interviews will be conducted at a location and time of your choosing. </p>
