Subject: Participate in a survey about teaching and learning syntax!


This is a survey aimed at instructors CURRENTLY TEACHING an
undergraduate syntax course.
We are conducting a research project on syntax teaching:
https://blogs.kent.ac.uk/synteach/. As part of this, we have
previously surveyed programs and instructors about their attitudes and
opinions. Now, we are interested in the responses of undergraduate
syntax students. We would like to ask your students to complete two
short surveys, one now and one later in the term, reflecting on their
expectations, experiences, and goals in taking this course.
We will ask them some information that identifies them (their email
address) so that we can send them the follow-up survey and link their
response to their instructor’s participant ID, but we will not use
that information to identify or evaluate you personally. The email
addresses will be deleted as soon as they complete the second survey.
You (or your students) will not be identifiable in any dissemination
of the work (anticipated to be conference papers and publications).
If you are happy for your students to take this survey, please click
the link below, complete the survey, and then share the text at the
end of the survey. Do NOT share the link below with them; the text
provided at the end of the survey will include your personal link to
share.
This should be a class running at the moment, where the focus is just
on syntax (i.e., not an intro linguistics class that includes some
syntax), at an undergraduate level, with more than five students
enrolled on it.
