Questionnaire survey is among the main research instruments for data collection, where participants are required to respond by selecting from existing options or writing out answers. With the availability of easy-to-use online survey platforms that enhancing research efficiency in terms of time, cost, and access to participants, scholars have brought to bear a large number of questionnaire survey-based approaches to researching English Medium Instruction (EMI), putting stakeholders’ perspectives under the microscope. This chapter discusses how to plan and conduct a questionnaire survey study in EMI. Starting with the definition of questionnaire survey, this chapter centers on some key issues related to its use in EMI research, such as the selection of a sample frame, as well as design and distribution of questionnaire design. These issues are then exemplified in the subsequent case study of the acceptability and usefulness of collaborative writing activities in promoting university students’ online engagement.
