Thank you for your comments. I am in the process of seeking approval from the review board here in the US to post the link directly on the internet. Lots of red tape and forms to fill in! As for 2 and 3 - am working on that too.
many thanks.

Hi Caroline

This sounds like a really interesting survey and I hope you get a good response from this community.

From previous experience, I would suggest you are more likely to get feedback if you:

1. Find some way of giving respondees direct access to the online survey. I think teachers may be a little wary of sending their email addresses into the unknown.

2. Provide use with a bit more background to this project. For instance, what phase of education are you targetting? Is there some information on a website we can refer to?

3. Can you consider ways of feeding back the outcomes of your research to this community? (I think teachers are more likely to give something out if they feel that eventually they will be getting something back...)

hope this helps.....and good luck!

I am involved in a research study at the University of Miami and am asking for your help to fill in a survey about teaching composition in the US and UK. If you are able to help by filling in the survey (which will only take about 10 minutes) or by sending it to other teachers you know, please send me a short email (just the word survey will do) so I may email you a link to the online survey.

caro_morris@yahoo.com.

I assure you your email address and responses will be kept confidential.

I really appreciate your help. It is difficult to find teachers to fill in surveys as we are all so busy.
I hope my research may benefit our profession in both countries and I will share my results on this site.

Please use this space to post your feelings about using composition.

Do we use it too much in the UK?
Is it a useful teaching tool?
Do you feel confident teaching it?
