VIETNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY-HOCHIMINH CITY UNIVERSITY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES A SURVEY ON DENTISTS’ ABILITY IN READING ENGLISH DENTAL MATERIALS AT FIVE LEADING DENTAL DEPARTMENTS IN HO CHI MINH CITY- VIET NAM A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts ( TESOL ) Submitted by TRUONG HOANG TUAN Supervised by NGUYEN TIEN HUNG, Ph.D HO CHI MINH City , October 2010 CERTIFICATE OF ORIGINALITY I certify my authorship of the thesis submitted today entitle: A SURVEY ON DENTISTS’ ABILITY IN READING ENGLISH MATERIALS AT FIVE LEADING DENTAL DEPARTMENTS IN HO CHI MINH CITY- VIET NAM in terms of the statement of requirements for theses in master’s programs issued by the higher degree committee HO CHI MINH City, October 2010 TRƯƠNG HOÀNG TUẤN RETENTION and USE of the THESIS I hereby state that, I, TRUONG HOANG TUAN, being the candidate for the degree of Master of TESOL, accept the requirements of the University relating to the retention and use of Master’s theses deposited in the Library In term of these conditions, I agree that the origin of my thesis deposited in the library should be accessible for purposes of study and research, in accordance with normal conditions established by the library for the care, loan or reproduction of theses HO CHI MINH City, October 2010 TRƯƠNG HOÀNG TUẤN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Mr.Nguyễn Tiến Hùng, who whole- heartedly supported me during the writing of this thesis although he has been so busy His guidance and valuable advice did help me through this challenging task Moreover, his devotion, understanding and friendliness have made a strong impression on me I am greatly indebted to all the lecturers of the TESOL graduate program at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities for their helpful instruction during the course from the year 2007 to 2010 In addition, my great thanks go to all the dentists who were very responsive to the questionnaire Without their cooperation, I would have never been able to complete the survey My last thanks go to my wife and my sons for their love and care Abstract In Vietnam, English has regained its role as the main foreign language taught and used, and Waxler-Morrison (2005) stated that English is a helpful tool to obtain the knowledge of the dental field from advanced countries in the world As I have been working in the dentistry field for quite a long time, I notice that the field is very innovative and there have been many new developments recently That is why it is badly needed to find ways to help Vietnamese dentists improve their English so as to acquire the ability in reading and using materials written in English comprehensibly The purpose of this study was to investigate reality of dentists’ ability on reading and understanding dental materials in English at five leading dental departments in Ho Chi Minh City in an effort to find out the difficulties and obstacles faced by dentists in order to suggest some recommendations to improve their English reading skills The questionnaire was directly administered to 80 dentists in order to collect data by using quantitative approach The results indicated that the current English program and learning conditions were not appropriate for dentist students The dentists were completely aware of the important role of English language for practitioners in globalisation but they evaluated that their reading comprehension in English was very poor They did not feel confident of their English proficiency This situation may lead to some urgent recommendations in changing the present English program and the learning environment at university of health sciences as well as in determining their motivations and the best strategies for dentists to self – study in order to help them improve their English proficiency, especially reading skills TABLE OF CONTENTS page Certificate of the originality i Retention and use of the thesis ii Acknowledgements iii Abstract iv Table of contents v Introduction CHAPTER I : BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY I.1- Problem statement I.2- Research objectives I.3- Research hypothesis I.4- Importance and benefits of the study I.5- Limitations I.6- Overview of thesis chapters CHAPTER II : LITERATURE REVIEW II.1-Use of English language in Vietnam II.2 Reading II.2.1- What is Reading?

Luan an Do an INTRODUCTION According to Hutchinson and Waters (1987), English after the Second World War is an accepted international language of science, technology and commerce It creates a new generation of learners, including dentists as scientists, who know why they have to learn English In Vietnam, English has regained its role as the main foreign language taught and used (Alter & Moreau, 1995; Mydans, 1995; Shapiro, 1995) For dentists, English is a helpful tool to obtain the knowledge of the dental field from advanced countries in the world (Waxler-Morrison 2005) Therefore they take extra effort to master it and be able to use it efficiently As a dentist, the importance of getting scientific and technological information cannot be overstated This is because the dentistry field is innovative and there are new developments everyday In order for one to remain relevant to the field, it is needed for dentists to acquire the ability to use and read materials written in English comprehensibly What have been mentioned above can be clearly demonstrated by the fact that in Ho Chi Minh city recently held seminars and conferences about new technicalities in diagnosis and treatments in dentistry were in English, and in the dental field there are countless items of materials with different usages written in English Moreover, the influx of many big dental production companies into Vietnam, dentists who would like having up- to- date information in this field have to be able to read and understand English effectively This study investigates how dentists read and understand the English dental materials in an effort to identify the difficulties and obstacles in reading comprehension faced by dentists Hopefully, the results of this study will allow the author to give some recommendations which may be helpful to dentists to solve their own problems in order to improve their English reading skills Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd

under immense pressure to improve their proficiency in English since recent conferences and seminars have been conducted in English, most of dentistry medical books and journals are now written in English Also, knowledge of English language will improve the communication and sharing of ideas between dentists in Vietnam and others from the developed nations and others The need to assimilate ways that can culminate to a greater proficiency in English among dentists in Vietnam will raise their levels of productivity and profitability and will enable them to serve the general public better Most people feel that the services offered in the health care sector will be improved further if all the key players share ideas since this is a field that new methods of treatment are being invented all the time If there is a barrier in communication then some of these instrumental services will be lost on some Some dentists would rather remain with their old methods of performing their duties and not engage in reading dentistry materials that offer new innovative ways of dealing with dental issues This is because human nature is mostly resistant to change especially when the future outcome is not very certain or suspicious and /or when the old seems to work just fine Therefore, these dentists are not the respondents in the survey Devising ways and offering dentists incentives that enable them to improve their English language skills will definitely improve their understanding, enhance their participation in the dentistry forums and boost their performance as well-educated dentists Notably, if the recommendations that will be given by the researcher are implemented it could culminate to a transformation of the dentistry field for the better Stt.010.Mssv.BKD002ac.email.ninhd
