Peer Critique of Research Questions (RQs)

I found that the research questions are generally clear, relevant to the research topic, and suitable for a survey-based study. They follow a logical progression from description to perception and comparison, which strengthens the coherence of the study. The questions clearly specify the research subjects (EFL students) and the investigated aspect (self-rated English speaking ability).

I just have a minor suggestion for RQ2: the term learner-related factors could be clarified by providing two or three examples, such as classroom participation, self-practice, or assignment completion, to improve clarity and focus.

Hello,

I find that your research topic is clear, relevant, and feasible for a survey-based study. However, the term learner-related factors is quite broad and could be defined more specifically to improve focus.
RQ1 is clear and measurable. RQ2 could be sharpened by specifying which learner-related factors are examined rather than addressing them in general. RQ3 is appropriate, but it would be clearer to indicate how the “most influential” factor will be determined.
