For my dissertation I would like to analyse handwritten letters in English from Spanish (secondary school) students. I would receive them from a school in Spain but all of a sudden it is uncertain if I they will even write them. Therefore I am searching for other letters, time is running out and I really need data to do my dissertation! Thanks in advance.
If they don't have to be L1 Spanish, you could try Spanish immersion high schools.
Maybe you could try various language schools ( academias) in the Alicante area and try to get them involved in your project. The students in the schools who are working on the Cambridge Exams will often write letter and email tasks by hand. If it has to be students of secondary school age , you could try asking for letters from students doing exams such as the Ket, Pet and First for Schools and from students of the required age who are doing any adult exams. (In most cases, this would be more likely to be for CAE and maybe a few for Proficiency.) A language school might be interested, as they would get a mention in whatever journal you publish your work.
Does it have to be Spanish from Spain? And does it have to be secondary school? If not necessarily from Spain, than I might find some contact here in La Paz (like Instituto Americano: [email protected]), Bolivia. If not necessarily from secondary school I might find here at my University.
