I'm doing a research project and need help from someone at a Seoul uni, and also someone at a middle school and a high school (and elementary if I can find one).

I'm investigating the causes of student reluctance to speak English in English-speaking environments and situations. I have a survey, written in Korean, that can be completed in less than five minutes, asking students about their challenges when called upon to speak English. I've got access to hundreds of students at all levels out where I am, but if I can double my sample size with Seoul students, I have a reasonable shot at being able to generalize the data to all of Korea (384 middle school students in our sample is generalizable to the entire population of middle school students in Korea with a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error).

I hope to identify which obstacles are the most common, which ones are common to particular grade levels, and how they change as students progress through the Korean education system,

So I'm wondering if I have any volunteers in Seoul who are willing to give some of their classes surveys for me? If so, send me a PM, please.

Just make up (or copy/paste) the data like every single University student in Korea does. Sheesh, did you just get here?

I'd suggest reposting this with a more direct title:

Univ&M.S. teachers/Please help with my MA research!

I'm not doing a degree, smartass. I'm writing for publication.

My bad, but thanks for calling me smart.

Sorry, you lost me at 'smartass'.

Who would want to go out of their way and waste their time and energy for someone who can't even appreciate a valid suggestion.

I'm pretty sure you misunderstood the OP. He was trying to compliment PRagic's tight rear.

I'm not doing MA research, so it isn't a valid suggestion.
