application has impacted on classroom interaction in EFL reading classes To achieve this optimal aim, the research first attempts to explore participants’ perceptions of using IT to help increase classroom interaction and the reality of teachers’ integration of IT into EFL reading classes It is also aimed at identifying the difficulties that teachers face in the incorporation of IT to enhance interaction The participants of this research consisted of 10 teachers and 100 students at Dang Tran Con High School The data were collected through questionnaires, class observations and interviews The findings show that although participants show positive perceptions towards the necessity of IT in teaching and learning EFL in general and EFL reading in particular, the reality of IT integration into reading classes is rather limited in terms of the frequency, the ways of integrating IT into reading classes and the technology-assisted reading activities The limitations of their IT application result, mainly, from the difficulties with facilities and with teaching and learning methods Yet, the findings assert that IT integration into EFL reading classes have a significantly positive impact on both the quantity and quality of classroom interaction Based on researchers’ and scholars’ ideas discussed in chapter and the findings of this research including teacher participants’ suggested solutions, some implications for the educational administrators and teachers are also offered in this thesis so that the classroom interaction in EFL reading classes can be maximized by the utilization of IT CHAPTER INTRODUCTION This chapter describes (1) the rationale including the background of and the reasons for the research, (2) the research aims and the research questions, (3) the research scope, and (4) the structure of the research 1.1 Rationale Foreign language teachers in general and English language teachers in particular, especially those in Asia, have been faced with non-interactive classrooms where students have often been observed to be shy, reserved, and unresponsive, rarely participating in the activities in language classrooms actively (Cortazzi and Jin, 1996; Tsui, 1996; Jackson, 2001, 2003; Chen, 2003; Zou, 2004; Nguyen Thi Cam Le, 2005; Meng, 2010) Interaction in the classroom is of great importance as Through interaction, students can increase their language store as they listen to or read authentic linguistic material, or even the output of their fellow students in discussions, skits, joint problem-solving tasks, or dialogue journals In interaction, students can use all they possess of the language- all they have learned or casually absorbed- in real-life exchanges….Even at an elementary stage, they learn in this way to exploit the elasticity of language (Wilga Rivers, 1987 in Brown, 2007, p 213) More importantly, many psychologists argue that high school students who have developed physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially to the nearly fullest potential are often active, independent, and creative in their learning activities (e.g, To Thi Anh and Nguyen Thi Bich Hong, 1994; Do Van Thong, 2002) However, from my experience as an English as a foreign language (EFL) high school teacher, I have always been faced with quiet and passive students There is not much interaction in classroom, which makes the class atmosphere rather dull Most of EFL teachers in Thua Thien Hue have shared the same situation Whenever I attend a workshop or a meeting organized by Thua Thien Hue Department of Education and Training, I hear the teachers complain that one of the 10 5.1.3 To what extent does the application of IT help increase interaction in EFL reading classes? Despite certain difficulties, the reality of integrating IT into EFL reading classes has been recorded to have a lot of significance by the teachers at Dang Tran Con High School, among which is “promoting classroom interaction” The findings assert that IT integration into EFL reading classes have a significantly positive impact on both the quantity and quality of classroom interaction Specifically, in ITassisted environment, such interaction patterns as individual student – teacher, individual student – whole class, individual student – group of students and individual student - individual student are more increased than teacher – whole class, teacher – groups of students and teacher – individual student Put another way, the interaction patterns in which students either initiated questions or communicated with each other are more dominant than those initiated by the teacher Also, IT-assisted environment is a supportive one for more students’ active participation in classroom activities and more cooperation and collaboration in the teaching and learning process In short, IT can be used as a practical strategy to stimulate and increase interaction in EFL reading classes 5.1.4 What challenge teachers in using IT to help enhance interaction in EFL reading classes? Through teacher questionnaires, class observations and teacher interviews, the researcher can find out the reasons why teachers’ positive perceptions about IT application are not fully reflected in their teaching practice These reasons relate to the difficulties with facilities and with teaching and learning methods Concerning the difficulties with facilities, 100% of the teachers stressed that lack of such IT tools as language labs, soft wares and wireless mouses was the biggest challenge confronting their IT application in terms of the frequency and the ways they utilized IT Other challenges that are pointed out by teachers are “fixed tables and benches” (80%), “the present EFL coursebooks being unsuitable for the use of IT” (70%) and “not good IT tools” (50%) 88 With regard to difficulties with teaching and learning methods, teachers’ lack of IT knowledge and skills is the hot problem that draws concern of more than twothirds of the teachers because it prevents them from designing technology-assisted reading activities as they desire Two other teacher-related difficulties confronting 40% of the teachers in enhancing classroom interaction are their lack of class management techniques and of ideas for designing communicative activities “Student’s passive and uncooperative learning style” and “student’s lack of IT knowledge and skills” are two student-related difficulties faced by 40% and 30% of the teachers respectively in using IT to help enhance interaction in EFL reading classes 5.2 Implications Based on researchers’ and scholars’ ideas discussed in chapter and the findings of this research including teacher participants’ suggested solutions, some implications for the educational administrators and teachers are offered so that the classroom interaction in EFL reading classes can be maximized by the utilization of IT 5.2.1 For the educational administrators Although the educational administrators not directly utilize IT, they play quite an important role in teachers’ success in utilizing IT to enhance interaction, quantitatively and qualitatively, in EFL reading classes In fact, EFL teachers and students need administrative support in terms of facilities and methods of teaching and learning Regarding facilities, the administrators should create favorable conditions for teachers’ application of IT by providing as adequate facilities as possible Accordingly, each classroom should be equipped with a computer with a wireless mouse, a large TV set and portable desks and chairs More importantly, the school administrators should have language labs with Internet connected computers built and buy EFL teaching as well as class monitoring soft wares By this way, not only classroom interaction will be enhanced and diversified but students will have opportunities to expose to online activities where they can get immediate feedback as well Additionally, they should employ a full time IT technician to make sure that 89 IT tools always work properly during the lesson Given that Interactive digitized coursebooks, also known as Interactive e-books can have positive effects on EFL learners’ reading attitudes (Chih-Cheng LIN, 2010), they should be soon designed and put into practice With the rapid development of IT, resulting in continuously educational reforms, EFL teachers have been under pressure to “effectively integrate technology within their already crowded curriculum, yet many are unprepared to meet this challenge” (Glazewski and Blanchard, 2000, p 388) Hence, the educational administrators should provide teachers and students with clear and detailed guidance on teaching and learning methods with IT in the form of workshops or seminars as soon as possible It is also necessary to give them adequate IT knowledge and sufficient IT skills training As nearly half of the teachers admitted that they lacked class management techniques and ideas for designing communicative activities (see 4.4.2), these issues need incorporating into the content of the workshops or seminars 5.2.2 For the teachers Playing the key role in the integrating of IT into classes, EFL teachers are required of untiring and endless endeavor to adapt to the continuous development of IT and educational reforms They should seriously incorporate teaching methods with IT into their professional development In other words, they acquire such methods not only through workshops or seminars hold by the educational administrators but also through their daily professional activities such as peer coaching, class observations and action research One important thing that teachers should be aware of in IT application is that IT tools not automatically generate communication between teachers and students and among students Thus, they need to carefully consider the advantages of IT tools to support the designing of activities in such a way that interaction can be enhanced to the utmost Class management techniques and other interactioninitiating strategies also need careful consideration so that the enhancement of interaction can be optimized 90 5.3 Limitations of the research During the process of conducting this research, the researcher identified several of its limitations Firstly, the survey of the research was implemented in a small scale It selected only 10 teachers and 100 students from Dang Tran Con High School, a too small figure in comparison with thousands of teachers and students applying IT to EFL teaching and learning at high schools in Vietnam Had more teachers been involved in, the data would have been more persuasive Secondly, no video recording was made during the class observations As such, the researcher could not view the events repeatedly and provide density of data on interaction patterns Thirdly, because the duration of this study was relatively short, the research did not include difficulties that students might face in IT-assisted reading classes, which results in inadequate pedagogic implications Lastly, it failed to indicate that an increase in classroom interaction can help students enhance their English proficiency 5.4 Recommendations for further research This study investigates the impact of IT application on interaction in EFL reading classes The findings show that IT can be used as a practical strategy to stimulate and increase interaction in EFL reading classes For those who are interested in further exploring this issue, some recommendations are offered as follows Firstly, similar studies are recommended to be carried out with other language skills as the impact of IT application on interaction in receptive skill classes may be different from that in productive skill ones Secondly, future studies should be conducted on a larger scale so that the findings can be more valid and applicable Lastly, a different research method, for example experimental research, can be used to investigate the impact of IT on interaction in EFL classes 91 REFERENCES In English Aebersold, J.A & M L Field (1997) From reader to reading teacher: Issues and strategies for second language classrooms Cambridge University Press Allwright, R (1984)
