[laupeter]

Hi There,

My name is Peter Lauer. I am a teacher of English at Noszlopy G�sp�r Primary and Basic Art
Educational School, Marcali, Hungary. I currently am a post-graduate university student 'fighting'
for my MA in English Literature and Linguistics at the University of P�cs, Hungary. This is my final
year at university and I am about to write my thesis. I am planning to write about EFL learners'
motivation and their attitudes towards reading in English. In order to accomplish this task I need
data. I am posting this message to ask you to fill in a questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 22 questions, with extra data on gender and age group.
If you are learning English as a foreign language, please fill in the questionnaire and either send it to my email address (see below) or leave your message here in the discussion forum.
Thank you very much for your co-operation in advance.
Cheers,
Peter Lauer
