Subject: Third Age Language Learning Needs Questionnaire

 
Hello,

the University of Groningen has started a big study investigating language
learning in seniors to see if language learning could be used as a tool for
healthy ageing. As part of this study, we are interested in the language
learning needs of seniors, in order to develop efficient teaching materials
for language courses specifically designed for people above 65.

To find out what these language learning needs are and how seniors believe the
ideal language course to be, we developed a questionnaire. It takes
approximately 20 min to fill out the survey and you must be 65 or older to
participate.

The questionnaire is available in 4 languages:

German: https://rug.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_81gyOPmdbQ3vFdj

English: https://rug.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3Wpd6cFOb7bEAgl

Spanish: https://rug.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0uIktTa2scQbxkh

Dutch: https://rug.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Y7tD67fIEJzfGR

Please share this questionnaire with anyone you know above 65 so that we learn
more about the language learning needs of seniors and courses can be designed
around these needs.

If you have any questions, feel free to message Louisa Richter
(l.s.richter at student.rug.nl) or Mara van der Ploeg (a.m.van.der.ploeg at rug.nl).

Thank you,

Louisa Richter
