Questionnaire

Teacher Preference: Topics

(b) What topics do you prefer?
This part of the questionnaire was meant for identifying the topics suited to the needs of the learners as per the teachers’ opinion.

Table Two

Teacher’s Questionnaire: Types  of Written Assignments

Table 2 gives details of the types of written assignments that teachers considered as important for the learners in secondary schools.  According to the data collected, writing composition on a given topic and note-taking are considered very important.  All the teachers have rated them as important and none have marked them as not important.  The next high rating is secured by developing points and writing a ‘paragraph’.  Writing simple instructions are rated as ‘important’ or ‘very important’ by 90% of the teachers, thereby securing the third highest rating.

Descriptive and narrative paragraphs are also considered as important by 86 and 76% of the teachers respectively.  Writing official letters is considered least important as 14% of the teachers rate it as ‘Not at all important’ while 34% considered it as ‘not very important and 8% are ‘indifferent’.  Only 44% of the teachers think it is ‘important’ and none of the teachers consider it ‘very important’.  When the teachers had the choice to suggest any other type of writing assignment they thought was important to the learners, 20% of the teachers mentioned the need to include the task of ‘answering comprehension questions based on a reading passage’.
