This study was conducted at Vietnam Maritime University with a view to exploring test-taking strategies relative to learners’ performance in TOEIC Reading Comprehension as well as identifying differences in reading strategies among high proficiency and low proficiency students at Vietnam Maritime University.
The subjects involved in the study are over 100 students of Vietnam Maritime University (VMU) chosen randomly from 4 TOEIC classes.

Điều tra về tính trầm lặng của học sinh trong các giờ nói tiếng Anh - Điển cứu tại trường THPT Toàn Thắng
|
Realizing many 11th graders at Toan Thang high school being passive in English Speaking classes, this study aims to explore students’ perception toward their reticence behaviour in real- world classes, factors contributing to it and students’ expectation. A total of 373 students enrolled in eight 11th grade classes, were first observed in eight English Speaking lessons, and then participated in filling in two sets of open-ended questionnaire. After that, six of them were interviewed using semi-structured format. A mix- method analysis is conducted to explore the findings. From the study, it is revealed that students have strong willingness to participate in English activities though they rarely do so in reality due to various learning misconceptions. The result indicates that teachers need not only to use interesting, various and suitable activities to encourage students to learn the target language but also to explain and have more informal talks with students to teach them how to learn effectively.

Phân tích đối chiếu và gợi ý giảng dạy thành ngữ chỉ sự thông minh và hiểu biết trong tiếng Anh và tiếng Việt
|
Although great attention has been paid to idioms by researchers and linguists in Vietnam as well as in the world, there has been no study conducted on idioms denoting intelligence and understanding in English and Vietnamese. This is the reason for the author’s choice of the study. This thesis has two major purposes: (1) to find out not only the syntactic but also semantic similarities as well as differences in the idioms of this type in English and Vietnamese, and (2) to give some teaching implications for teachers English.
In order to fulfill the objectives of the study, contrastive analysis method was used. Moreover, 50 English and 50 Vietnamese idioms were collected various sources, mainly from dictionaries. They were then carefully analyzed with the main focus on their syntactic and semantic features.
The results of the analysis mentioned above shows that although the idioms under investigation share some similarities, they have notable and interesting differences in terms of their syntactic features especially with regard to their clause and phrase patterns as well as their semantic ones. The study suggests that the above-mentioned idioms in English are more difficult to learn than their Vietnamese counterparts. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the teaching of these idioms, especially to such factors as the number of idioms, student level and frequency of practice.

Đặc điểm cấu trúc và chức năng của khởi ngữ trong tiếng Anh và tương đương trong tiếng Viết
|
For English learners, “fronting” seems to be a new and strange idea although it can be used unconsciously in daily life. In fact, unless they are linguists, not many people are patient enough to investigate this linguistic phenomenon. Therefore, this research is carried out to provide the more comprehensive perspectives on “fronting” for English learners’ confidence in communication when this phenomenon is in need. For a better understanding, “fronting” in English is compared and contrasted with “khởi ngữ” in Vietnamese in the research. The analysis data include 50 sentences with “fronting” in English and 50 sentences with “khởi ngữ” in Vietnamese collected from books and newspapers since 1945. The result of the research shows the similarities and differences in both structure and function of “fronting” and “khởi ngữ”. Moreover, the research discusses the reasons why these similarities and differences exist so that Vietnamese students of English can master “fronting” and “khởi ngữ” in communication.

Tác động của văn hóa học tập ở Việt Nam đến thái độ của học sinh trung học phổ thông đối với các hoạt động học tiếng Anh theo đường hương giao tiếp
|
This paper reports on a survey study on the influence of Vietnamese learning culture on upper-secondary school students’ attitudes towards communicative activities in learning English. The questionnaires were used to collect data from a systematically selected sample of 166 students from an upper-secondary school. The findings demonstrated the influence of the Vietnamese culture of learning on the students’ attitudes towards communicative activities, which were favourable, on some facets, and unfavourable on the others, for the implementation of CLT in the research context. Accordingly, some suggestions were proposed concerning either adaptation of the CLT approach and its spawn activities to the Vietnamese cultural context, or adjustment of the Vietnamese learning culture, or both, which aims at successful implementation of CLT in Vietnam.

Việc Sử dụng ngôn ngữ cơ thế trong các bài phát biểu nhậm chức của các tổng thống Mỹ
|
This thesis has the aim to make investigations of the body language used by the U.S. Presidents in their inaugural addresses, which can provide the readers with the clear and specific examples of body languages used in official situations. The findings of this research can also enlighten the possible applications of body languages into social communication of English language, especially for education. The further applications of body languages into communication will also be included in the latter part of this research. From such expectations of the findings, the author will use the methods of translating the speeches made in the inaugural addresses of the Presidents Bush and Obama for elaborated analysis, so that all dimensions of the body languages used by the two presidents will be enlightened. The main findings of this study include the two significant aspects of body languages used by the Presidents in their important events: they have more tendencies to use hand gestures than smiles to build attraction of the audiences, and more importantly, they have the stable uses of dominant hands in associations with describing the good things with positive valances, and the non-dominant hands in describing the bad things with negative valances. In this study, the author made summary of the main findings of this research, as well as the emphasis of the different roles of hands and smiles used in communication, the uses of the left and right hand gestures with positive and negative valences, and the implication of the uses of body languages in cross-cultural communication for better effectiveness. Finally, the author also made suggestions for the possible further studies in the same research field of body language in communication.
