以上、１８問となります。
質問等ありましたら、気軽におたずねください。
お手数ですが、よろしくお願いします。

多読の効果について、論文にまとめていらっしゃるとのこと、
学会でも研究が進むことを期待しておりますので、
TAKさんにもがんばって欲しいと思います。

ただ、TAKさんの気遣いがもう少し感じられれば、
もう少し協力も得られやすいのではないかしら？と感じたので、
思ったことを書いてみます。

・研究者の素性や研究目的、研究結果の発表の仕方についてもう少し詳しく説明する。

・掲示板で公開してよい質問事項なのであれば、最初の投稿で公開しておく。
（最初の投稿ではどの程度の協力なのか想像つきません）

・TAKさんが翻訳するおつもりなら、質問も英日両方用意しておく。

・情報提供者のプライバシーに多少なりともかかわることを尋ねるわけですから、
回答は掲示板に投稿してもらうのではなく、TAKさんにメールで回答等にする。

現役の先生方も多忙ですから、丁寧にお願いしても協力を得られる方が貴重です。折角協力してくださる方の時間を大切にしてください。
事例研究をするにしろ、広くアンケートを募るにしろ、方法をもう少し工夫され、正確な情報をたくさん集めて、よい研究をなさって下さい。

はじめまして、acha758さん。
大変貴重なご指摘ありがとうございます。

確かにその通りです。
先生方の貴重なご意見をいただくと共に、
貴重な時間をさいていただくので、
もっと考慮しなければならない点がたくさんありました。

これらを反省し、精進していきたいと思います。
