A Survey of Primary GEP English Language Teachers

A Survey of Primary GEP English Language Teachers’ Teaching Philosophy, Views on Technology and Technical and Administrative Support


Hello!

You are invited to participate in an exploratory study to find out how ready Primary GEP English Language teachers and students are in adopting Corpus CALL and tele-collaborative tasks and projects in the language classroom to achieve the goals of the GEP. In this survey, approximately 34 people will be asked to complete a survey that asks questions about your thoughts on teaching philosophies, your attitudes towards technology, how you incorporate the use of technology into classroom activities and what support you need to help you integrate technology effectively into your lessons. It will take approximately 40 minutes to complete the questionnaire.


Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.


Your survey responses will be stricly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Judy Lee by email at the email address specified below.


Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below. It is usually best to respond with your first impression, without giving a question much thought.
