their helpful instruction during the course from the year 2006 to 2009 Finally, I would like to send my deepest gratitude to my family and my friends who cared, encouraged and supported me during the time of completing the thesis iv ABSTRACT Vocabulary knowledge has long been a major determinant influencing ESL/EFL reading comprehension (Laufer, 1997) Reading comprehension efficiently helps readers to improve their vocabulary The more they would read extensively the more ideas and words would be generated, which ultimately helps in the development of vocabulary of the target language Vocabulary acquisition is one of the most challenging obstacles language learners must overcome The main objective of the study was to investigate the reality of vocabulary instruction in reading comprehension for students in grade 11 at Truong Dinh high school to find out what difficulties teachers and students face when dealing with vocabulary instruction in reading comprehension and in what way vocabulary can assist students in reading comprehension Sample of the study constituted of classes if eleven graders and 10 teachers at this school This study evaluates the vocabulary teaching component of an English teaching program for students at high school It first describes the course and the issues which prompted the study Then it examines previous research in vocabulary learning and applies some of the key findings to the development of a research project This project has two elements: questionnaires related to vocabulary instruction in reading comprehension and classroom observation to find out the reality of vocabulary instruction in reading comprehension Data analysis of the questionnaire shows reality and problems of vocabulary instruction in reading comprehension Students know the importance of vocabulary knowledge in comprehension but they not know how to effectively deal with new words in a reading text Students should be actively involved in exploring word meaning and learn how to figure out meaning with unknown words in reading comprehension v Findings from questionnaire and classroom observation reveal that teachers’ vocabulary instruction sometimes falls back to the “old” procedure of teaching vocabulary: reading aloud, translating In addition, teachers seem to lack information about students’ real ability in reading For this reason, teachers’ teaching methods not meet the need of the students Therefore, teacher should take into consideration the actual desire of students in learning as well as the problems students may encounter in reading comprehension Students should be well aware of the strategies to deal with unknown words in a reading text When students are taught how to get through with the reading text more effectively, they will feel more confident in reading comprehension, which also builds a bridge to success in learning English “Guessing in context” and “word parts” are useful techniques help to determine meaning of words in reading comprehension vi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS EFL: English as a foreign language FL: Foreign Language L1: first language L2: second language NRP: National Reading Panel TDHS: Truong Dinh High
