Material Detail

Often second language learners are asked to write a research paper by reading sources from secondary research and to give evidence to support their topic, yet they do not understand the kinds of information that formulate secondary research. Thus, there is an educational need for L2 learners to conduct primary research through surveys in order to understand its process, and also to gain insight into the kinds of information that secondary research may contain. This in turn, then, will lead the research paper writer to collect and select evidence pertinent to the topic.

· Step One: Survey Question Writing · Step Two: Conduct a Survey · Step Three: Use Survey Data to Create Graphs/Charts

Because of the very nature of primary research, the process of conducting a survey by L2 learners lends itself to further developing the full spectrum of language learning skills: reading and writing, speaking and listening and grammar. Moreover, L2 learners will learn about the different technologies that are used to create, manage, and interpret data from surveys.
