Hi, all! I'm a graduate student at Concordia University Irvine and am currently working on gathering data for my thesis. I'm researching the qualifications of Foreign English Teachers and I would really appreciate it if anyone who has taught English abroad could help. I would especially like some feedback from people having taught English in European countries. The survey takes less than 10 minutes, and is entirely confidential. None of your personal information will be published. If you have any questions, my contact information is on the first page of the survey. Thank you for the help!

The survey seems too narrow. The question about contract length, for example, was impossible to answer accurately. Over the past 15 years, I've worked on both short and long-term contracts. I suppose that you are primarily imagining (or targeting) teachers who have not made a long-term career in EFL.

An open question regarding qualifications would also give us chances to answer more accurately.
