NOS PIDEN COLABORACIÓN

Por medio de una colega de la Universidad Metropolitana de Manchester os traslado esta solicitud de colaboración.

Dear Primary/Elementary School Teacher,

We would like your help with a project which is exploring how English is taught to young learners in classrooms around the world. The project is being run by the School of Languages and Social Sciences, Aston University, UK; the Department of Linguistics, Macquarie University, Australia and The British Council.

The aim of the project is to find out what teachers do in their English classes, the challenges they face and the solutions they have developed. Results from the project will be used to help us to better understand primary school teaching around the world. We will publish our findings with The British Council so that primary school teachers can learn about each other and to discover how solutions to teaching problems developed in one context may be effective in another.

There are two ways in which you can help. Firstly, by completing the questionnaire yourself if you teach young learners aged 7-11. Secondly, you can pass on this message to all your colleagues who teach English to 7-11 year olds.

The questionnaire should only take about 20 minutes to complete. Your answers are completely confidential and will be used only as summaries in which no individual's answer can be identified. You will find the questionnaire at

If you would prefer to receive the questionnaire as an e-mail attachment or in the post, or if you have any questions about the project, please contact one of the researchers below.

Thank you very much for your help.
