Dear All,
I am working on a research study on reading discourse problems in an EFL context in Pakistan. I would like to review and adapt a questionnaire survey suiting my research objectives. I will be highly thankful if anyone provide some samples of questionnaire survey of reading discourse problems at intermediate level.
I need both them, if you could provide either I would be grateful to you.
I hope this could help.

Dear Sheeraz Ali,
Focusing on discourse problems first requires paying attention to pragmalinguistic and sociopragmatic levels of discourse. In the former, we focus on surface features of text or texture such as diexes, metadiscourse markers, thematic progression and so on. In the latter, however, we should address the intercultural, socioideological and suprasentential elements governing language use. Therefore based on related theories, you should pinpoint the domains and sub-domains defining the problems you want to address. Then, create a number of prompts, usually thirty to fifty, which constitute the pool of the items you need to make the questionnaire.Afterwards, you should ensure that the instrument is both valid and reliable. This can be materialized by consulting colleagues and by pilot testing. In this way you can develop your own data collecting tool. You can further increase the dependability of the data by triangulating the questionnaire by using a follow- up group focused interview. I used the recepie from a book by Zoltan Dornyei (2003) and the outcome was amazing.
Wish you lots of good luck with your research.
Best regards,
R. Biria
Dear Raza,
I am thankful your valuable input to the question. It is helpful to see the areas before crating the questionnaire. I got your idea and working on the same.
