How to write Hypothesis? How to design my experiment?

I'm in the process of finding out what is the best way to be able to get the best data from my experiment. From what I currently have, I need to look further into it, so that the data could be seen much clearer, hence, would be able to show that there are differences between these languages. My graphs at the moment, shows the same pattern. I need to make it in such a way that the graphs will vary and that this would mean something eventually. I NEED TO GET THIS DONE SOON!!!

hmm... at the moment, I've been reading some materials on TEXT STRUCTURE. And I'm finding this very interesting, as it gives me some ideas on how to manipulate my experiment design or name it tasks. This is interesting, as what I'm looking at is about languages, and having to understand the different competencies level, TEXT STRUCTURE would definitely mean something.

This led me to making my own hypothesis, and trying to learn on how to do that, I found this link: Writing Hypothesis

E.g. of some hypothesis is as simple as this (from the link):

1. Chocolate may cause pimples.
2. Salt in soil may affect plant growth.
3. Plant growth may be affected by the color of the light.
4. Bacterial growth may be affected by temperature.
5. Ultra violet light may cause skin cancer.
6. Temperature may cause leaves to change color.

It looks simple eh? But, it really does crack the head out of me, trying to build one up. I think, for me, it has to be good. Something that nobody could questioned! Something very strong and stands on its own. Hm.. lemme see.. can I do it?

Will try..

so.. back to my previous discussions.. lemme see...

If a participant/writer, is English, and second language is German, another language with familiar character to that person is Spanish and unfamiliar character language is Korean;
Say, for each language, given 3 paragraphs with 3 different TEXT STRUCTURE, based on the levels of reading (young children, older children and young adults) would definitely means something, don't you think?

I really need to make myself clear here..

hmm...

Say, the language is Spanish, this person is familiar with the character writing, but does not mean, the language is his second language, he might know the language and he might not, he might know only a few words, he might not know at all, but the letter character is very familiar...

Would the method above, applying the paragraphs, with 3 levels of TEXT STRUCTURE be able to show the competency level of that participant?

Generally, a hypothesis that I can make is that:
- If the participant finds, writing the first level: young children is easy, and that the next level, older children and young adults a bit tough, this would mean, the competency level of that person in that language is low.

- If the participant finds, writing the first and second level: young children and older children is manageable, and that the third level, young adults, tough, this would mean, the competency level of that person in that language is intermediate.

- Else, if all is easy, participants are good in that language.

BUT!

How reliable would this method be to my study? Would it be able to show something in the graphs? In analysis stage?

THIS, I NEED TO FIND OUT!!!

My hypothesis (for the time being):
1. Different text structures may cause participant's language competency level be seen clearly.
2. Longer pauses within a word, in a language that is very minimally known may show that the participant has a low competency level in that language.

hmm... this sounds like i'm moving on forward.. yippie!!!
