My research method mainly consists of in-depth 1-to-1 interviews with teachers and students. These are some questions that I am planning to ask regarding my research topic – Student Translating into English in Essay Writing.
Questions for my colleagues (teachers) in interviews:
Do you think translating into English in essay writing is a right thing to do?
Why do you think it’s right/wrong?
Have you seen students doing it?
Is it beneficial for their learning?
Would you stop the students form translating into English in essay writing? How?
How would you know they have translated into English in essay writing?
Do you think the teachers should make conscious effort in stopping the students from doing it?
Any other thoughts?
Questions for the students in interviews:
Do you think translating into English in essay writing is a right thing to do?
Why do you think it’s right/wrong?
Do you think it’s useful/helping the students?
Would you do that if/since your first language isn’t English?
Why do you think people/you would do that?
Any other thoughts?
