Survey of Academic and General Reading in English On 8th February 1999, a survey was conducted among 16 overseas postgraduate students at the University of England. The purpose of the survey was to discover the reading habits in English of the students. The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire given to the students to complete. The first part of the questionnaire dealt with the type of reading and its frequency. The second section was concerned with newspapers: the type of items read and those that were read first. From the table of data, the most significant items are as follows. In the first section 81% of the students regularly read academic books" while 44% regularly read academic journals. Nothing else is read regularly or often by 40% or more of the students. The following comments can be made about the reading of newspapers, magazines and fiction. 75% sometimes read regional or local newspapers, 69% sometimes read books of fiction, 62% sometimes read general magazines, and 56% sometimes read national daily newspapers. On the other hand, 37% never read Sunday newspapers and 31% never read fiction. in the second section, not surprisingly, 100% read news about their own country newspapers and 56% read this first. 94% read international news, 25% read this first. 81% read about Britain and look at radio and TV information. T nly other item that is usually read by more than 50% of the students is current aff ead by 56%). If any conclusions may be drawn from the data, they are, perhaps, as fol verseas students presumably have little time for general reading: most of their re ne is spent on books and journals on their own subject. Outside their studies m reading news about their own country, international news, and news about y probably spend most time watching TV and listening to the radio. m Academic Writing Course by R. R.
