Presentation skills (5)

Conducting a survey


A survey is used to learn the opinions of a large group of people in a short amount of time. By doing this survey you are also practising your speaking and listening skills. Here are some tips to help you:


1. Narrow your topic instead of a broad one. As an example, "How many Malaysian students believe in the use of mobile phones as a learning tool?", the narrow topic is "Do Malaysian students believe in the use of mobile phones as a learning tool?".


2. Develop a hypothesis. As an example, UPM students use mobile phones to learn English course.


3. Decide the group of people you will survey.


4. Ask closed-ended questions such as yes/no questions and who, what, when, and where questions.
