Hi, community
I'm conducting a dissertation on the topic of the effect of MALL on students' motivation and receptive skills. I will adopt quantitative research method. So can I set three questions like:
1. What is the effect of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in a Chinese blended EFL college course on intermediate students’ reading motivation and skills?
2. What is the effect of mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in a Chinese blended EFL college course on Intermediate students’ listening motivation and skills?
3. How efficient is mobile- assisted language learning (MALL) in a Chinese blended EFL college course to stimulate intermediate students’ motivation and improve their receptive skills?
Research objects:
1. To examine the effectiveness of mobile- assisted language learning (MALL) in a Chinese blended EFL college course on intermediate students’ reading motivation and skills.
2. To analyse the effectiveness of mobile- assisted language learning (MALL) in a Chinese blended EFL college course on intermediate students’ listening motivation and skills.
3. To investigate the efficiency of mobile- assisted language learning (MALL) in a Chinese blended EFL college course to stimulate intermediate students’ motivation and improve their receptive skills.
Good morning. Dear Changhong Peng,
Regarding your first question about the effect of the MALL technique on the motivation and reading skills of intermediate students, it means that you will carry out an explanatory level study, in that context, all your questions are correct.
Your General Objective for your research should be to: DEMONSTRATE
"To demonstrate that the MALL technique produces a positive effect on the motivation and reading skills of intermediate students"
Now the next question is how do you plan to measure the effect of this technique? What instruments will you apply to measure the effect?
Those are my scopes.
Sincerely.
Hello
First, you have to have a general objective and big question.
Then specific objectives.
Remember how to do the methodological process for each one and statistics
Best regards
