Foreign Languages As a means of encouraging students to study foreign languages, I am conducting an informal survey to determine when and how individuals last used a foreign language. If you have had a recent experience when you said even a few words of a foreign language that you can speak to any degree, fill out the comment form below. Send me a brief note telling me: 1) when the instance occurred; 2) where did it occur; 3) what is your native language; 4) what language did you use; 5) how fluent you are in the foreign language you used (native, very good, good, beginning); 6) whether you used the language for business or a personal matter; 7) if you used the foreign language for business reasons, what is your profession; 8) what was the topic of discussion in general terms; and 9) any other information you consider useful. I will collect the information from the survey until I have a reasonable number of responses and then correlate the data. I will not post anyone's name or profession, nor will I share any personal information with third parties. The comment box below automatically will send an e-mail to me, but if you are hesitant about using it, you can send your response directly to me at miller-dem@earthlnik.net. In order to keep the results meaningful, please respond only once. This is not a sophisticated survey, but I suspect that it will yield some interesting results. |
