 * How to use it with foreign language students**
 * **Survey students’ interests-** You can create survey to investigate which skills, reading, writing, listening and speaking, should be focused more in the lessons.
 * **Receive feedback from students-** At the end of the language lessons, educator can ask what you think about lessons or which parts of lesson is more useful or vice versa.
 * **Test students’ knowledge-** You can use this site to investigate where the students are weak. Thanks to the results, you can decide on where you should repeat such as specific grammar points.
 * **Decide a method according to students’ answers-** You can survey which method is suitable for your students. For instance, you can ask students “how do you prefer to learn? As a group or individual?” or “how do you learn best? Listening or sharing?

When students send their answers, they can not change. It would be better if students were able to see and change their results. They might mark something by mistake. The other drawback is that if some students might answer the questions as slovenly. It affects the coherent of survey results.
