Questionnaire Construction
Questionnaire construction is presented by Prakash Aryal. Questionnaires can be used for primary research and involve asking respondents questions either in person or through mail/online surveys. Key steps in constructing a questionnaire include determining the type of survey, developing questions, organizing the question sequence and layout, and pilot testing. Questions should avoid ambiguity, bias, and double meanings. Both open-ended and closed-ended questions can be used, with closed-ended questions being easier to analyze but potentially limiting responses. The order and format of questions is also important to make the questionnaire smooth, logical and easy for respondents to follow.

大四論文Motivation(Iris)
This document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in second language learning. It reviews literature showing intrinsic motivation is superior because it involves learning for personal goals and satisfaction rather than external rewards. The study examines 30 junior high students' language learning motivation through questionnaires. Most students said their motivation was passive and reluctant due to outside pressures rather than interest in English. While participation was high, motivation was mostly passive and reluctant rather than intrinsic. The findings support that intrinsic motivation leads to better second language acquisition.

The aim of this study was to explore intrinsic and extrinsic motivations toward learning Spanish, French, and Mandarin as foreign languages. Also, this study investigates which are the main factors that influence the learners’ motivation of the L2, focusing on two specific aspects within the classroom: the materials used in this learning process and the teacher’s behaviors. A sample of 173 high school L2 students (9-12) was selected. The results showed that among the top 10 reasons that justified their L2 learning process, 6 were based on intrinsic factors and 4 on extrinsic ones. Also, these results showed that the most preferred materials by the students to learn are those related to audio-visual resources. Lastly, regarding the teachers’ motivational practices, the results showed that learners value as the most important motivational factors some teacher’s personality traits.Protocolo Presentation
This study seeks to investigate fluctuations in motivation among English teachers at the University of Quintana Roo (UQROO) through a case study approach. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with three female English teachers to answer the research questions: how does motivation to teach English vary over time, and what factors influence this motivation? The interviews will explore five areas that could impact motivation: students, work environment, economic benefits, teaching activities, and subject taught. The results may help identify motivational and demotivational factors present at different stages of these teachers' careers.
