VIETNAM NATIONAL UNIVERSITY – HOCHIMINH CITY UNIVERSITY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES A SURVEY ON TEACHING AND LEARNING READING COMPREHENSION IN BINH DUONG HIGH SCHOOLS A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (TESOL) Submitted by: UNG THI UT Supervisor: NGUYEN BICH HANH, MA in TESOL HO CHI MINH CITY, 2007 CERTIFICATE OF ORIGINALITY I certify my authorship of the thesis submitted today entitled: A SURVEY ON TEACHING AND LEARNING READING COMPREHENSION IN BINH DUONG HIGH SCHOOLS in terms of the statement of Requirements for Theses in Master’s Programmes issued by the Higher Degree Committee Ho Chi Minh City, June , 2007 UNG THỊ ÚT i RETENTION AND USE OF THE THESIS I hereby state that I, UNG THỊ ÚT, 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 terms of these conditions, I agree that the original of my thesis deposited in the Library should be accessible for purposes of study and research, in accordance with the normal conditions established by the Library for the care, loan or reproduction of theses Ho Chi Minh City, June 1st , 2007 UNG THỊ ÚT ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Ms Nguyễn Bich Hạnh, MA in TESOL, who did provide me with insightful discussions, constructive criticisms, valuable comments, and continuing support in the preparation and completion of this thesis 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 2002 to 2005 My special thanks are also sent to the management and teachers and students of three schools: Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Trinh Hoai Duc, and An My for their cooperation and valuable opinions on the questionnaires which help my thesis to be completed I don’t forget to send my deepest gratitude to my family and friends who cared, encouraged and supported me during the time of completing the thesis iii ABSTRACT Teaching English in high school tends to focus on the reading skill, which is an important skill that is of great use to students later in their lives However, in spite of the great effort and considerable amount of time spent on teaching and learning reading, high school students are not good at reading This thesis sets out to investigate the reality of teaching and learning the reading skill at some Binh Duong high schools to find out what teachers and students believe about reading and how their beliefs influence the way they teach and learn reading The thesis also looks at what teachers and students in class that reflects their beliefs of reading Findings reveal that teachers focus mainly on teaching vocabulary and pay more attention to the decoding of the meaning of the words and neglect other important factors such as context, text coherence, text organization; and reading subskills such as skimming, inferring, predicting are unfamiliar to the students’ experience This situation has lasted for years and years It seems that teachers are either not well trained in teaching reading skills or too pessimistic about changes They doubtfully follow the established procedure of teaching texts in high school i.e reading aloud, teaching vocabulary, translating and doing exercises The situation suggested is to retrain teachers so that they can cope with the tasks of teaching the reading skills rather than teaching texts more importantly There is an urgent need to persuade teachers that changes are absolutely necessary for the situation of teaching English in high school to improve iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Certificate of originality i Retention and use of the thesis ii Acknowledgements iii Abstract iv Table of contents v List of tables viii INTRODUCTION 1 The problems The organization of the thesis CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY I.1 An overview of the English courses at senior high school I.1.1 Aims and objectives of the English textbooks I.1.2 The construction of the textbooks I.1.3 Characteristics of comprehension questions in English 12 I.1.4 The position of reading in the textbooks I.1.5 Time allocation I.2 An overview of teaching and learning reading comprehension in high school I.3 Summary CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW II Theories about reading and reading comprehension II 1.1 What is reading?
