The reason of conducting research is to perception and opinion of administrators, teachers, and students of peer work in Tertiary English Language classes in Saudi Arabia.

You were selected randomly and you will be provided with a questionnaire to fill which will not take more than twenty minutes. This questionnaire survey is conducted as it will help us in collecting information about your preferences, your views and opinion about what you have in mind regarding peer work in tertiary English Language classrooms. At this time, the researcher will ask you some questions pertaining to your perceptions regarding your opinion of peer work and how much it is effective for you in learning English Language.
