Research topic: Learner-Related Factors Influencing the Self-Reported English Speaking Performance of Undergraduate EFL Students at a University in Ho Chi Minh City

  1. I feel confident when speaking English during classroom activities. =>Good survey question because it is clear, concise, and is related to the construct of speaking confidence.
  2. Anxiety, motivation, and lack of teacher support make me speak English badly in most speaking situations. =>Bad survey question because it is triple-barreled (combining anxiety, motivation, teacher support), and using a vague term (most speaking situations).
