Survey results



Dear all.


I applied the SURVEY last August 14th. This is the reflection that I have about it.


The survey demonstrates that students recognize that they use the target language, but it is not frequent. The main situations for speaking are when it is required by the teacher, so they feel that they are not exposed enough to the spoken language.

On the other hand, few people use the spoken language spontaneously, and of course the information that they provide is few. At the same time, when teacher is talking, students recognize the main idea and answer with monosyllables (yes, no, finish). They prefer interacting with their classmates, and sometimes with the teacher. In spite of this, they feel a kind of anxiety which impedes to participate actively in class. The main reason is because of group pressure; that is their classmates’ reactions (laughing). Additionally, students feel that they have problems with pronunciation and because of this they do not feel confident when speaking.

Finally, most of them consider that the project chosen by them “Radio Show” would be useful for overcoming their lack of confidence when speaking. The reasons that they give are INTERACTION, INCREASING VOCABULARY, INCREASING PRONUNCIATION, LEARNING THING MEANINGFUL FOR THEM, and TEAM WORK.
