PART I: INTRODUCTION Rationale There is a variety of spoken languages all over the world, but English language is the most popular Billions of people are speaking and using English everyday in their life So, English plays an important role in our modern life because it is one of the vital demands of almost English learners However, it is not easy for learners to get success in learning English because of many difficulties in its grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation… Grammar is one of the most difficult parts which English learners usually meet and make errors In English grammar, mood is a small and special part Although mood is not used as much as other parts, for instance: verb tense, sentences or passive…, it is important for English learners People often use Mood in normal dialogues and communication In the process of using mood, they rarely use subjunctive mood – one kind of mood It is harder to explain the subjunctive Five hundred years ago, English had a highly developed subjunctive mood However, after the fourteenth century, speakers of English used the subjunctive less frequently Indeed, the sheer frequency of subjunctive misuse gives me the impression that the subjunctive isn‟t taught at all in school, and if it is, those teaching it may not be teaching it well enough or perhaps few of those they teach get to understand it properly I say this basing on the wrong uses of subjunctive mood in written tests by university students That makes me try to study more on this aspect with the hope that my study is useful for every English learner to understand more about subjunctive mood and avoid making mistakes in using it z

Aims of the study The central aims of the study are: a Investigating the most common errors which non-English major students at Hai Phong Private University often make b Identifying the main causes of those errors c Reinforcing and enhancing the students‟ subjunctive mood acquisition Hopefully, this study can provide readers with overall comprehension of subjunctive mood The research results would be really helpful to not only students but also teachers so they can base on the findings and suggestions to choose as well as design activities for the lesson in a direction Scope of study Regarding to the scope of the study, mood is rather huge and complicated Consequently, it requires to be taken into consideration carefully in a very long time by the researchers However, due to my limitation of time and knowledge, I could not cover all the aspects of this theme This study only concentrates on the analysis of errors made by first-year non-English majors and the errors are just restricted to the ones related to subjunctive mood Methods of study This is a survey research which was carried out by means of such data collection instruments as questionnaires and interviews for students and the students‟ writing papers Each of them is conducted with its own direction First, the interviews were done among twenty first year non-English majors and English Majors at Hai Phong Private University with the questions related to the thesis topic The second study method is to analyze the writing papers of students coming from two groups English majors and non-English z

majors with the aim of recognizing as well as classifying the errors exactly The second method is considered as more effective one Research questions The study aims to answer the two following questions: What are the typical errors that the first-year English majors and nonEnglish majors often make during their study at Hai Phong Private University? What are the suggested solutions to those typical errors ? Design of the study The study is divided into three main parts; of which the second, naturally, is the most important part Part one presents an overview of the study in which the rationale for the research, the research problem, the purposes, the research questions, the scope of the study, the research method, as well as the design of the study were briefly presented Part two with three main chapters: Chapter one reviews the literature relevant to the study, including the definition of mood, as well as an overview on subjunctive mood These lay the foundation for the choice of the medium for the research More specifically, it presents a number of research in which subjunctive mood has been used to help students make improvement in their language study Chapter two is a detailed discussion of the method used in the study This chapter presents a thorough justification for the use of subjunctive mood and survey research It also gives a thorough description of the research‟s components, as well as the research program z 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.99 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.33.44.55.54.78.655.43.22.2.4.55.2237.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.66 Chapter three discusses the findings of the study, provides pedagogical implications, as well as presents limitations of the research It also makes recommendations for further research in the same field Part three summarizes the main issues of the whole study with a conclusion ending the study and supply some suggestions for further study z 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.99 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.33.44.55.54.78.655.43.22.2.4.55.2237.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.66 PART II: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD As the subjunctive mood will be analysed in detail in chapter two, this part will deal with not only general view on mood but also particular explanations and concepts related to subjunctive mood It will provide you a closer look at its definition, formation, usage and its problems in present day English Besides, the definitions of errors and correction are also given to make clearer about the aims of this research These below knowledge had been collected from many believable resources and websites such as www usingenglish com, www yourdictionary com , tailieu vn, Azar - Understanding and using English Grammar 1.1 An overview of mood 1.1.1 Definitions of mood In grammar, Mood is category that reflects the speaker‟s view of an event‟s reality, likelihood or urgency There are some definitions of mood : - Mood shows the attitude of the speaker or the writer to the action or state described by the verb - Mood is a characteristic of verbs that involves the speaker‟s attitude toward the action expressed - Mood of a verb expressing wishes, stipulating demands, or making statements contrary to fact… 1.1.2 Kinds of mood In English, mood is classified into three types, namely, indicative mood, imperative mood and subjunctive mood z 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.99 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.33.44.55.54.78.655.43.22.2.4.55.2237.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.66 daily life On the other hand, there is obviously information gap between students, which surely leads to the success of the conversation Also the conversation is authentic Consolidation In this stage, teacher can design some follow-up activities which require writing such as survey in the question forms and ask the students to write down the answers in full sentences or simply ask the students to write a report of the discussion using the subjunctive mood To make it simpler, teacher may just ask the students to fill in the gaps with the appropriate words or matching exercises By responding to students‟ writings, teachers will be able to communicate with the students and at the same time, students will be able to see that writing was another way they could communicate in English Activity (Individual work/Pair work): Match the clauses in column A with information from column B Then compare with a partner Error!

Some things to keep in mind To ensure the success of a grammar lesson, we teachers need to bear the following in mind: First, always remember that all language practice should be organized as far as possible around topics of interest to the students Second, always keep the teaching plan as flexible as possible Third, always try to teach step by step, giving the idea that the students can certainly achieve something if they try Don‟t let students down with too difficult tasks But also, there should 45 z

be challenges for the more capable students, with those average students feeling their effort is valid at the same time Fourth, always remember to keep the practice simple and short in the practice stage Finally remember to add some exercises which require writing as consolidation work either in the classroom or after class, providing a variety of access to grammar to cater for different learning styles * Summary The teaching of grammar is by far, the most challenging task any teacher may face in his/her daily classroom We believe that the classes should be learner-centered, with meaningful, functional activities But I also think the students should be regarded as explorers, active learners who bring a great deal to the learning process and at the same time, draw from their environment as they develop new understandings Through communicative grammar teaching, students will be able to get new information, hear different thoughts and opinions from various group members due to the information gap By finishing the task in a communicative way, students become more responsible and play a more positive role in their learning It is a big change that the students no longer just listen to the teachers but they also ask questions when they don't understand and make every effort to use the language In this sense, varied activities, interactions and topics can all contribute to making language practice, and lessons in general, more enjoyable and effective for the students As a teacher I felt, at first, this way of grammar teaching requires more work on the teacher's side However, seeing students trying to use the language to communicate with one another and asking me questions when they get stuck, encourages me to continue this activity They also provide me with scope to step 46 z

out of my didactic role in order to be a “human among humans” Hence, we, as language teachers, must consider how to expand their space and opportunities for learning In the meantime, I hope that you can derive some practical use from this essay 3.2.2 Students’ learning strategies Firstly, every learner had better study on Subjunctive Mood more clearly After school, in my opinion, they should research themselves and find out how subjunctive mood is I believe that learning by themselves is very useful way If they mention and care about it, they will not make any mistake Secondly, during the time the learners study, I think they should many kinds of exercises By this method, the learners get more information about subjunctive mood as well as other subjects However, in process of doing exercises, they can realize their errors that they made An idiom: “Practice makes perfect” is very suitable for all the learners to learn English grammar Besides, the Vietnamese learners also ask their teachers or their friends who learn better than they This way makes progress in their studies effectively Even if they can ask the native people because the information they give is standard I reckon that these methods are very good for learners to improve their knowledge of subjunctive mood Lastly, the learners can find the information in web-based references or reference books.Nowadays, there are many ways to learn by themselves.We can share anything we want on the Internet We may get much knowledge from both the familiar and the strange people Moreover,reference books are also plentiful These ways are valuable and necessary for them to get much knowledge PART 3: SUMMARY 47 z

Recapitulation of the study In this part, a brief conclusion of what was discussed in the previous part and some conclusion remarks are presented However, subjunctive mood is not used widely in modern English, it is still necessary for learners – both in Viet Nam and in other countries to study on it There are a lot of interesting matters related to Subjunctive Mood because of limitation of time and knowledge, in this paper, I only focus one of parts in mood – subjunctive mood In the second chapter, I mainly focus on subjunctive mood – one kind of mood Although subjunctive mood is not popular, it is also important to learn it I give some kinds of subjunctive mood and their uses and examples In this way, the learners and the readers easily understand use subjunctive mood properly Furthermore, based on some related problems and suggested recommendations, learners can know how subjunctive mood is used in communication as well as in literature From that, I point out some common errors made by Vietnamese learners in the third chapter Finally, with a view to help learners to have a thorough understanding and usage of this topic, some suggested solutions and exercises are introduced in the last chapter I hope these will be helpful and useful for learners to achieve Conclusion With careful study, I have come up with a number of findings The very first one is that the number of students made errors in their writing is rather huge (49% and 74%) Not only the Non-majors but also English Majors made errors They are prone to the same range of errors (2 formal errors: Recognize the subjunctive mood and Supply the verb forms) and the errors committed the most 48 z

frequently by the participants was Supply the verb forms All the errors were analyzed and some of them were corrected to increase their effectiveness Basing on those found errors, some suggested solutions to those were given Firstly, the teacher plays an important part in instructing their students to have right learning strategies And his teaching method is to attract his students or not Secondly, learning from the teacher is not enough to understand completely this grammar issue The learners must also study from the different sources such as: reference books, friends, internet In addition, through the analysis of the students‟ writings, questionnaires, some solutions to those errors were found out for not only the language teachers but also language learners However, this study is limited in some aspects I hope that they will be solved in some future researches Limitations and suggestion for the further study Though I has carried out the study with full seriousness and carefulness, the research remains some certain limitations The first shortcoming is the restricted number of reference materials I approached Despite great searching efforts, I could not access many reliable sources especially the ones listing types of solutions; consequently, suggested solutions part could not be done thoroughly and exhaustively To overcome this difficulty, I try to find out the common mistakes in the accessible sources Besides, from the grammar test, I can find out that students sometimes mistook the use of subjunctive with the rest ones of mood But because of limited time and ability, I couldn‟t deeply compare the different uses between them Due to these shortcomings, further studies on certain aspects should be developed in the future Although this research has gained some findings, there is some space for 49 z
