We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear Members,
We are conducting qualitative research on how comprehensible a Non- Native Speaker's (NNS) oral discourse in English is, based on the comments of both Native Speakers (NS) and NNS comparatively. The recorded file to be listened to is a modified version of a recording from an actual course. The transcritpiton of the actual performance was reread by a NS of English to remove bad pronunciation. The purpose is to draw the attention of the commentors to the discourse structures used rather than to the pronunciation, which might be a hurdle to understanding what is said.
