Data

I learned from this research that more people than I thought speak a 2nd language.  I thought that very few people in the 9th grade speak a different language. It shows just that, that more people speak a different language than people who don't speak a different language. I just didn't know that that many people spoke a 2nd language, and some of these people I know, but I didn't know they spoke a 2nd language. 

It just makes you wonder... so here is my data.

Primary Research

For my primary research I will ask 15 of my classmates to answer the following questions:

1. Do you speak another language besides English?

2. How many people do you think speak a different language in the 9th grade?

3. Do you speak another language besides English at home?

4. Do you know other people that speak a different language like you do?

5. How often do you speak your 2nd language?

Those will be my five questions that I ask my classmates for  my primary research.

My Research Plan:

How will I answer my questions?
I will survey the students in my school to find out what it is like for them to speak multiple languages.

What sources?
I will use family, friends, and students at my high school, I will also use the internet to see how other schools use language.

Who will I survey?
I will survey the students who speak multiple languages.

Bye now,

Reasearch Questions

My main Research Questions are:

1. How many languages do my fellow schoolmates speak?
2. How does it affect the way that they talk with their friends and family?

Research Goals

Why? That's a big question, and people ask themselves that like 20 times a day. Why do I have to do this? Why to i have to do that? Well I am going to tell you what and why I want to learn about this.

What?
I want to know more about how many languages are spoken by people at my high school. I want to know how they feel about the language that they speak.

Why?
Why do I want to know about this? I want to know about this because it interests me. My aunt and uncle speak a different language and I want to know how many people out there, (or in my school) speak a different language and what it means to them.
