Speakers
Profile of speakers who volunteered to participate. All participants were doctoral students in STEM fields newly enrolled at Stony Brook University; none had studied previously in the U.S. All were funded as teaching assistants.
Missing recordings are due to attrition (4% among Mandarin speakers and 17% among others), to equipment failure, or to a participant declining to sign the release for sharing the data with the research community.114 speakers participated in this study. Here are their native languages and initial (Baseline #1) Mint and Versant scores. Their longitudinal data will be released upon the publication of our article, draft-entitled "International Teaching Assistants' English Language Development in their first two years in the U.S.

- Initial Mint score, overall Versant score, and 4 Versant subscores at Baseline #1, shortly after arriving to campus. The repeated Mint and Versant scores from the other baselineswill be released upon the publication of our article, tentatively titled "International Teaching Assistants' English Language Development in their first two years in the U.S."
Mint and Versant scores for Baselines 2-5 will be released upon the publication of our article on International Teaching Assistants' English Language Development in their first two years in the U.S.
