English as a second language
1. What are Saudi secondary school students? perceived difficulties with academic writing in English? [ This question can be answered by using descriptive statistics. The supervisor recommended to use the mean and standard deviation in the same table with the percentages to give the reader an overview of what is going on. Then, we can order the difficulties by using the mean. Look at the example in Excel file.
1.1. Do Saudi secondary school students perceive they have linguistic difficulties (e.g. grammar, spelling, punctuation and vocabulary) with writing in English?
1.2. Do Saudi secondary school students perceive they have procedural knowledge difficulties (topic sentence, organisation, development of ideas, coherence and cohesion) with writing in English?
At this stage I need to describe the whole data generally. This means we should describe all the tables. Then I need to answer the first research question (related to writing difficulties) by using descriptive statistics.
Also, could you please justify the use of the percentages, means and SD? For example, ? presenting standard deviation for five categories may not represent normal distribution as the distance between the five point scale is not equal. In other words, the scale is an ordinal. Therefore, percentages were presented to give a full picture on what is going on (reference).
Regarding the tables of motivation and anxiety, the scale is different. It is continues (ratio level). It is a continuum scale from( ?1″ not motivated at all – ?8? extremely motivated), for anxiety ( ?1″ not anxious at all – ?8? extremely anxious)
The other two main questions will be discussed later. I just included them for you to have a general idea about the data analysis.
The second main research question is:
2. What do Saudi secondary school students perceive the contributing factors? of their difficulties with writing in English?
