My research topic: Grammar learning strategies used by Grade 3 EFL learners using the Beehive 3 textbook in a bilingual primary school in Ho Chi Minh City.
A. Well-written survey question
When you learn grammar with the Beehive 3 textbook, how often do you practice grammar at home?
-
- Never
- Sometimes
- Often
- Always
Explanations:
- This survey question focuses on one specific behaviour (grammar practice at home).
- I used a simpler way to deliver the question, age – appropriate with Grade 3 students.
- The response options are clear and easy to choose from.
- It is directly related to the research topic on grammar learning strategies.
B. Poorly constructed survey question
Do you enjoy grammar lessons in Beehive 3, understand them well, and feel that they help you improve your English?
Why this question is weak:
- It is double - and triple - barreled, asking about enjoyment, understanding, and improvement at the same time.
- Students may agree with one part but not the others, making their answer unclear.
- The sentence is relatively long and cognitively demanding for young learners.
- The data collected would be difficult to interpret accurately.
Hope to receive your feedbacks!
