Your team will conduct a survey with at least 5 questions, and you will report the results in a formal presentation style.

Think of a topic or issue that you would like to know people’s views about. For example, you could interview American students to find out their views on gun control or the upcoming presidential election. Another example would be interviewing students about the advantages and disadvantages of studying at NC State.

Survey at least 10 people - the more the better.  It is preferable that survey participants be native speakers of English or from a country other than your own. The survey may not be conducted via the internet.  Its purpose is the give you experience using your English skills to interact with a diverse population.

Your presentation should communicate the following:

• The purpose of your survey
• The questions you asked
• Who was surveyed (number, nationality, gender, any other pertinent information)
• A summary of the results of your survey
• Your conclusions/remarks. Discuss results that surprised you or what you found interesting about the results.

You should use at least one visual aid.
