Do you speak Finnish as a second / foreign language? Participate in a spoken interaction study!

The Aasis research project invites you to participate in a spoken interaction study, helping us develop ways to assess spoken interaction automatically!

We are looking for participants who speak Finnish as a second / foreign language especially at levels A2-B2, but C1-C2 speakers are also welcome. Participants will complete monologue and dialogue speaking tasks that will be audio and video recorded. Participation is voluntary.

The data collection takes 1 hour and will be done in Metsätalo (Interlab, 4th floor). Participation will be compensated with a Finnkino movie ticket.

Would you like to participate with a friend? 👫 The dialogue tasks will be done in pairs, so we encourage you to sign up with someone with similar(ish) Finnish skills. You can also participate solo and we will find you a pair!

If you are interested, please send an email to ilona.lahteenmaki@helsinki.fi with all of the times from this list when you would be available for data collection:
