This academic article provides the essential steps for designing an effective English questionnaire in social science research, with a focus on ensuring clarity, cultural sensitivity and ethical integrity. Developed from key insights from related studies, it outlines potential practice in questionnaire design, item development and the importance of validity and reliability. The article proposes a set of guidelines, referred to as the 6Ps: 1) "performing a comprehensive literature review," 2) "prioritizing clarity and simplicity in question design," 3) "providing for cultural sensitivity," 4) "posing a balance between question types," 5) "piloting tests to ensure validity" and "reliability," and 6) "protecting participants through ethical considerations." These guidelines aim to help researchers to improve the reliability and validity of their questionnaire data before implementing the study, leading to more meaningful and reliable methodology in social science research.
