Currently reading

I'm currently working through the following books and articles.
The books are right from the reading list (for the most part) and the journal articles are to give me some background knowledge to help me with the research project I'm planning, which is related to affective filters and collaborative writing tasks.

Joe, are you looking at SLA and NER parallel to each other or tackling one and then the other?

I'm doing them at the same time.

If we have to do a research project, I don't have much choice but to start now because of when the semesters run.

Well, at least at this point anyway. I may find myself getting bogged down and overwhelmed.
