Dear EFL teachers, When you sent your CVs and cover letters to participate in our Blogging School, we asked you to complete an online survey. When we wanted to find out what the best time for online Google Hangout sessions would be, you were asked to fill in another online questionnaire. This week you will learn how to create your own online surveys, quizzes and questionnaires. |
- learn how to use Google Forms to create an online quiz, survey or questionnaire
- familiarize yourselves with the basics of online surveys
- explore recommended sites and create three different quizzes, surveys or questionnaires
- create an assignment for your students which would combine reading, writing, listening or speaking tasks with an online survey incorporated into your school curricula
Watch two videos about Google Forms and write a paragraph on its benefits for EFL teachers:
- how can teachers use Google Forms in the EFL classroom?
- which student skills would the online surveys develop?
- how can Google Forms save time and effort?
Task 2 Now it is time for you to create your own survey / quiz / questionnaire using Google forms.
