useful tool for teaching and learning second language and one of the most important components of any educational environment that lead to success or failure of the teaching and learning language This is especially true a Nghia Hung A Upper Secondary School where English teachers and students use the piloted textbook English 10 in the course Also, the role of the teachers‟ and students‟ attitudes affects teaching and learning second language According to Karahan (2007), “positive language attitudes let learner has positive orientation towards learning English” (p.84) Gardner, Masgoret, Tennant & Mihic (2004) claim that attitudes influence language learning As such, attitudes play a crucial role in language learning because they would influence students‟ and teachers‟ failure or success in their teaching and learning Gardner and Lambert (1972) in their studies give evidence that positive attitudes toward language enhance proficiency It is also believed that positive attitudes alleviate language learning whereas negative attitudes act as s psychological barrier against it This study is therefore conducted with the hope to investigate the teachers‟ and students‟ attitudes towards the piloted textbook English 10 The study was conducted with teachers and 80 students at 10T1 and 10T2-Nghia Hung A Upper Secondary School The data was collected through interviews, observations and questionnaires to find out the attitudes of teachers and students towards the piloted textbook The findings reveal that most of teachers and students have positive attitudes towards the topic and contents, the vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, the physical appearance and the social cultural contexts of the piloted textbook, they have however negative attitudes towards the language contents The findings also show that the teachers‟ and students‟ positive attitudes, knowledge and background are necessary components affecting to the teaching and learning the piloted textbook

teachers felt satisfied with the topic and contents of the textbook, which motivated the teachers to exploit the lesson easily In relation to the language contents (reading, speaking, writing and listening), the teacher has difficulty in designing and adapting the lesson simply and clearly for students Especially, with speaking and listening skills, there was lack of time for the students to practice as well as overload of the knowledge in each lesson; meanwhile, there is lack of supplemental materials Of all the rest categories, teachers also proved that they have positive attitudes towards the physical appearance, social and cultural contexts Also, they thought that with the challenging lesson, they should adapt how to be simple, clear and interesting for students as well as they may change the teaching methodology suitably and effectively In summary, the attitudes of the teachers toward the piloted textbook were shown by three factors: the feelings, the beliefs and the behaviors In this study, the teacher proved that they preferred the piloted textbook as well as considered it as a valuable source for teaching language In fact, in the class, they tended to use the piloted textbook only for the students From the questionnaire of eight teachers, it is revealed that the teachers have the same perspective towards the roles of textbooks in teaching as proposed by Cunningsworth (1995) and Tomlinson (1998) Most of the teachers agree that textbook provides a variety of learning resources both for written and spoken material, provides activities for learners to practice the language, provides the source for learners in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and provides idea in arranging the lesson plan, provides guidance in giving homework to their students and helps them to standardize the instruction From the observation and the interview, it is revealed that both of the teachers use more than one textbook as their reference in presenting the materials to the students The consideration of choosing the textbooks and other additional materials is the availability of the sources for learners in learning grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, etc In this case, it is coherent to Richard‟s statement LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 39 (2001) saying that textbooks can provide support for teachers whose first language is not English and who may not be able to generate accurate language input on their own The findings of the research show that the two teacher in this study performed different types of adaptation and modification in using the textbook Based on the observation, it is revealed that teacher A was more reliance in using the textbook than teacher B She rarely skipped the materials in the textbooks and tended to move from one section to another orderly and asked the students to answer questions in the book in turn On the other side, teacher B used the textbooks to give her idea in developing the learning sequence for the students and to give her overview about the materials that will be covered in a whole program However, in the interview, teacher B admitted that she still needs to some adaptation by re- ordering the materials for the students According to Kitao (1997), he states that the more experienced the teachers, the less they bounded to the use of the textbooks On the contrary, the findings of research show that the lack and length of experiences not always define the teacher‟s reliance on the textbooks From the fact, it can be concluded that the adaptation of how to use the textbook by the teacher is not only determined by the teacher‟s experience, but also by their background and knowledge ii) What are the attitudes of the students toward the learning of the piloted English 10? Based on the results of data collection and analysis in the previous section, most of the students‟ attitudes towards the piloted textbook were positive In terms of the evaluation toward the textbook, the results indicated that the majority of the students was positive attitudes, which stimulated the students‟ amenity toward the textbook Regarding to the response about the section of vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation, many students showed the positive attitudes with the item There are the high agreement of the physical appearance of the textbook and the social and LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 40 cultural contexts, which indicated the students‟ attitudes towards the textbook However, in terms of the integrated skills, about half of students have negative attitudes, especially in speaking, listening and writing skill In general, based on the results of the research, the findings of the attitude questionnaire, significant difference was found in terms of the general perceptions of the textbook The negative attitudes of students were found out in the communicative skills, in other words, students did not satisfy with the speaking, listening and writing section In summary, the attitudes of the students toward the piloted textbook were indicated by the feelings, beliefs and behaviors In terms of the feelings, most of the students felt satisfied with the piloted textbook English including the topic and contents and the physical appearance as well as they believed that the textbook is a valuable source for them to learn Regarding the beliefs, the students think that the piloted textbook was logical, systematic and integrated, suitable for the students‟ abilities Moreover, they also believed that this textbook helps them make progress in learning language In short, the results from the study led to the following conclusions: i) The teachers have a positive attitude toward the piloted textbook English 10 ii) The findings revealed that learners have a positive attitude towards the piloted textbook English 10 From the questionnaire, the students have the same attitudes towards the roles of the textbook in learning language Most of the students agree that the textbook provides the framework of learning, provides a various resource for learning, provides the learners with a reference source on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation From the interview and observation, the results indicate that the students had a reliance towards the piloted textbook English The findings in the study show that the students‟ capacity of language, backgrounds and knowledge are vital components for the learners to achieve the success in learning language LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 41 Discussion Due to the limited population of the piloted textbook, the researcher only investigated two classes with two teachers, the results gained from the instruments: observation, interview and questionnaire cannot generalize to the whole students at school During the classroom observation, the researcher recognized that the students have difficulty in using English and they not understand the lesson when the teacher speaks English more At the time, they use Vietnamese instead Also, the teachers sometimes have difficulty in using English at all the periods, when they present the meaning of the words, most of them explain the meaning of the words in Vietnamese, which prevented the students from developing the language With the speaking skill, the students have lack of communicative practical environment; therefore, they have difficulty in communicating second language Besides, the students found listening skill difficult to follow, they did not have a lot of documents for listening and did not have enough time to practicing this skill The obvious reason through interviewing the teachers and students, their objectives are focusing on the vocabulary and grammar more than practicing the communicative language Almost students were able to get good marks on the grammar, structures, vocabulary and reading skill but they neglected the speaking, listening and writing To exploit the piloted textbook effectively, the teachers and students need to have positive attitude towards using that textbook Apart from the role of a facilitator, teachers should also act as communicator and change the teaching methods which are appropriate for the students‟ abilities Furthermore, for students, as well as studying the integrated skills in the classroom, they should create a chance to communicate with others in English together with practicing the listening skill Summary In summary, this chapter has focused much on the main parts of the study It has concerned about the context of the study that has a great influence on the LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 42 teaching and learning English Methodology including information about the subject, the instruments, data collection and data analysis has been discussed in particular The chapter also pointed out major findings and discussion LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 43 PART III CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS This chapter will be followed by some implications for the attitudes of teachers and students towards the piloted textbook English 10 The chapter will also discuss limitations of the study and suggestions for further research Implications This section will provide some pedagogical implications from the findings of the study Based on the findings about the positive attitudes of teachers and students towards the piloted textbook English 10, the researcher implies promoting teachers‟ and students‟ positive attitudes in exploiting the new textbook and limiting the drawbacks of the piloted textbook through adapting the lesson simply and clearly which is suitable for the students‟ abilities In addition to using the piloted textbook effectively, the students should be self-studied and should not put into the passive recipient to explore the knowledge Moreover, the teacher should hold many activities after school so that the students have opportunities in communicating in second language Or, teachers should ask students to work in group and practice the integrated skills as much as possible Limitations of the study Although the study is carefully and clearly designed and based on the reliable data, it has the following limitations: First, because of the time limit and that the textbook was being piloted, this research was conducted only on a small size of population who were attending the piloted textbook English 10 Therefore, to generalize the results for larger groups, the study should have involved more participants Second, in terms of methodology, the study is limited to a general reflection of the attitudes of teachers and students towards the piloted textbook English 10 The classroom observation provides empirical information of what attitudes of teachers and students toward teaching and learning the piloted textbook are in the classroom However, the observations were not frequent and the lesson which the LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 44 researcher observed in the classroom could be different from the lesson which the teacher teaches as a rule Third, the case of the study is a state high school, but the small population used the piloted textbook, therefore it may not representative of the general group Suggestions for further researches On the basis of the findings and limitations of the study, the following suggestions are made for the further researches Firstly, further research should have a deeper insight into the investigation of the implementation of teachers and students towards the piloted textbook English 10 Moreover, studies on teachers‟ and students‟ difficulties in teaching and learning the piloted textbook English 10 would be worth considering Besides, further study could be exploited about the ways the teacher adapt the lesson in the piloted textbook English 10 Conclusion The findings of the study indicate that both of the teachers and most of the students agree that textbook gives many benefits for both the students and teachers However, the respondents not see the textbooks functioned as a syllabus in teaching and learning process The findings of the study also reveal that the two teachers and most of the students feel satisfied with the physical appearance, the topic and content, the social and cultural context and the language contents; however, they not approve the listening and speaking skills in the piloted textbook The findings of the study also show that both of teachers use different approach in doing adaptation to the textbooks It can be determined that their background, knowledge and attitude define the teacher‟s reliance on the textbook The results of the study are expected to give significant contribution in giving useful information especially for the teachers and students to use the piloted textbook English 10 In addition to that, it is hoped that more in depth studies will follow which may contribute to a better understanding of this concept LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 45 REFERENCES Ajzan, I (1988) Attitudes, personality and behaviour Chicago: Dorsey Press Baker, C (1992) Attitudes and language Clevedon: Multilingual Matters Benson, M J (1991) Attitudes and motivation towards English: a survey of Japanese freshmen RELC Journal, 22(1), 34-48 Brown H Douglas (1994) Principles of language learning and teaching Prentice Hall Inc Englewood Cliffs New Jersey 07632 Brown, H Douglas (2001) Teaching by principles: An interactive approach To language pedagogy Second Edition, San Francisco Public University Calderhead, J (1996) Teachers, beliefs, and knowledge In D C Berliner & R C Calfee (Eds.), Handbook of educational psychology (pp 709-725) New York: Simon & Schuster Cook, V (1996) Second language and language teaching, London: Edward Arnold Cunningsworth, A (1995) Choosing your Coursebook ( Great Britain: Heinemann) Dodeen, H.A., Ibrahim, A A., Emad, M, (2003) Attitude of pre service teachers towards persons with disability: Prediction for the success of inclusion College Student Journal, Vol 37.,(4), p.515 Fishbein, M., & Ajzen, I (1975) Belief, attitude, intention and behavior: An introduction to theory and research Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company Gardner, R C (1985) Social psychology and second language learning The role of attitudes and motivation London: Edward Arnold Gardner, R & Lambert, W (1972) Attitudes and motivation in second language learning Rowley, MA: Newbury House Haddad, R.(2002) Teachers' attitudes toward teaching English in the first four grades in Jordan Unpublished Master Thesis, Yarmouk University, Jordan LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com 46 Hoang et al (2014) Tieng Anh10, Teacher’s Book Hanoi: Education Publishing House Hinchman, K A ( 2002) How teachers use the textbook: Lessons from three secondary school classrooms English Language Teaching Journal 48 (2), p 304315 Richards, J C (2001) Curriculum development in language teaching Cambridge: Press Syndicate of the University of Cambridge Tomlinson, B (1998) Materials Development in Language Teaching Cambridge: Cambridge University Press Tomlinson B.(2001) Materials development In R Carter, & D Nunan (Ed.), The Cambridge guide to teaching English to speakers of other languages LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com I APPENDICES APPENDIX SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE FOR STUDENTS This survey is designed to collect information for the study on “Teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards the piloted textbook English 10: The case of Nghia Hung Upper Secondary School, Nam Dinh City.” Your assistance in completing the following items is highly appreciated You can be certain that this is for research purpose only and that you will not be identified in any discussion of the data Before answering the questions, please fill in some information: * Your gender: Male/ Female Your age: * Do you like learning English?
