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!

Regarding the well-written one, would it help to specify the "practice grammar" more clearly by mentioning a task, namely, doing grammar exercises/ reading grammar examples/...? I guess the 3rd-grade participants may be better able to envision what grammar practice includes!

First, instructor asked for "briefly explain", this is too much.
Second, suggestion: Is the concept of Adverb of frequency such as never, sometimes, ...familiar to the student in this age group? I suggest using numbers representing how many days.
