Survey

Sunny Yang (2 posts) • 0

Hello everyone,

I am Sunny and doing research for my thesis. If you are working in Kunming and have been studying/are studying Chinese, I would highly appreciate it if you could answer the questions in the following survey:

www.daveopreis.nl/limesurvey/index.php?sid=77971&lang=en

It will take 15-20 minutes. After the survey, this thesis will try to answer questions like "How to teach foreigners Chinese more efficiently? What kind of strategies are efficient to learn Chinese well for them?".

Thanks for your cooperation!

Hi Sunny,

Duly answered, as requested.

One slight piece of constructive criticism: I did notice that a few

of the questions were the same question asked in a different way
i.e. tautology. Might need to review and strip some questions out?

I did laugh at the question "I like to learn Chinese to serve my

country" because it seemed a very Chinese question / mindset.

On the whole, I realised when I did finish the survey that my

learning plan requires a radical re-think. I really need to

re-draft my targets, learning plan (plan?) and reflect on what
works for me, and what plainly isn't working.

Once I get over my 2nd bout of an upset stomach (I am in

desperate need of ), I'll re-draft my learning plan and

start to measure my progress against it. I think my teacher
will be pleased when I eventually resume homework! ;)

Cheers!

Hello putonghua73,

Thanks a lot for doing the survey:)

Hahaha, like you say I also did laugh at the question "I like to learn Chinese to serve my country" .And I know some questions really riduculous for westeners,heheheh.I thought about it before.But i also hope some people from North Korea,Laos could do it.

And some questions look same, just to check if people are consistant in their answers.

Thanks again,

Sunny

Surveyers often ask the same question phrased slightly differently. It helps them correlate the answers and determine if people answer the questions truthfully.
