Abstract
This capstone focuses on two Costa Rican women learning English in their own country and asks the question: How do Costa Rican women negotiate and construct their identities while learning English and what implications are there in their personal lives? The study was modeled after Norton's study (2000) of five immigrant women learning English in Canada. That study found that the women constantly negotiated and constructed their identities and that their home lives were affected. This study used initial and final questionnaires, two interviews and a diary study over the course of sixteen weeks to investigate and follow the changes in the identities of the participants. Both participants negotiated and constructed their identities while learning English but only one woman encountered problems in her family. The other participant did not experience any problems in her personal life, rather was supported and encouraged to learn by her family.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
