Last year, UW-Madison Communication Sciences & Disorders Ph.D. candidate Margarethe McDonald spent the year abroad doing a Fulbright U.S. Student grant in Gwangju, South Korea. During her year at Chosun University, she did research about Korean-English bilingual children and how exposure to native and accented English speech affected child language, under the direction of Dr. Eon-Suk Ko. She has now returned to the Language Acquisition & Bilingualism lab under Dr. Margarita Kaushanksaya to complete her dissertation which will examine similar effects in Spanish-English bilingual children.
