my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Ms Phan Thi Kim Loan, who inspired initial ideas for the thesis in me, devoted her valuable time to reading my thesis with great care, gave thoughtful comments and raised critical questions in completion of this thesis I am grateful to the teachers who spent their precious time responding to the questionnaires and sharing with me their teaching experience I also wish to thank the students who were responsive to the survey questionnaires and the in-depth interview The thesis could not have been completed without them My special thanks go to Ms Pham Thi Ngoc Hoa, Mr Nguyen Hoang Linh, Dr Le Hoang Dung, who gave me useful advice and helped me think through the problems at the beginning of conducting the survey Finally, I appreciate my best friends for their help in terms of references and ideas I am greatly indebted to my parents, who have always been wholeheartedly supportive and understanding so that I could devote all the time to the writing of the thesis iii ABSTRACT This thesis discusses factors which influence grammar learning of in-service students of English at USSH Data were collected through two survey questionnaires: one for teachers, another for in-service students who have just completed the grammar program; and the interview for two different groups of students: high-performing and low-performing students The problems were identified and categorized under five factors in descending order of influence: learners, methodology, materials and syllabus, learning environment, and assessment However, there is a contrast between the two groups in choice of the influence of the factor learners This factor has the most important influence on grammar learning for the high-performing students whereas the low-performing ones consider it less important than the factor materials and syllabus The results of the study also show some real existing problems in in-service grammar teaching and learning, which are (1) lack of teaching facilities for grammar teaching and learning, (2) lack of matching the meaning of English structures to their equivalents in Vietnamese language, (3) students’ low frequency of practice, (4) a problem rising from program innovation, (5) inappropriateness of materials, and (6) lack of application of grammar to speaking and writing Based on the findings of the study, the thesis contributes some reasonable recommendations to facilitating grammar teaching and learning On the one hand, learning environment should be well-equipped for teaching and learning better and more interestingly Students should be provided with the appropriate materials (coursebooks or textbooks) and syllabus On the other hand, grammar learning should be taught in the light of integrated approach It needs good input not only for presentation and practice of form and meaning but also for production in term of speaking and writing Obviously, teachers are responsible for carrying out changes of teaching methods to help students apply grammar to speaking and writing More importantly, students play a crucial role in serious practice and frequent application of what they have learned iv TABLE OF
