My Research Question

I have three research question in English education in elementary school.

1 how easy to memorize some English phrases and words using
rhythm and chants? (I want to make a questionnaire about rhythm and chants to some elementary school teachers.)
2 To what extent can children learn "communication skills" using Role-play in
English activity? (English activity in Japanese elementary school tend to make much of "Communication skills". I think it's the best way that Children learn the skills.)
3 Should English activity in elementary school be
introduced "Writing"? (Now, It seems that Japanese elementary schools don't practice some writing activities. I'm not good at writing English sentences, so I think writing activities should be practiced earlier than Junior high school. I want to know "Are there any elementary schools doing some writing activities?".)

I have not be able to decide one research question from among them yet. I want to select from 3 to 1 by reading a lot of books, and studying other materials.

Subject or not?

I read a book last week, the book's title is 「日本の小学校英語を考える」. This book is considered English education in Japanese elementary school from the points of other Asian country and area(Koria and Taiwan) . I was suprised because in Koria and Taiwan, differ from Japan, English education has been introduced as a subject in elementary school. I want to deliberate whether English education in Japanese elementary school should be change English activities in "SOUGOUTEKINA GAKUSYUNOJIKAN" into one subject fomally, as well as the two country and area.
