Participants  
   
Labsite Student Study participants are recruited from the Lab School classes. This means that they are starting participation with low levels of English proficiency. In most other ways they are a diverse group. Interviews are currently conducted in seven languages: Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Taiwanese, Russian, French and Cantonese.
 
Students are interviewed every year in their native language. In the case of French speakers, French is not the students' first language, but is a proficient second language. Each interview lasts approximately 90 minutes.
 
 
 
The first year of interviews were conducted in 2003/2004
