pronunciation The research aimed to figure out whether the use of pronunciation instruction websites could help improve students‘ pronunciation and to identify students‘ attitude towards using these websites as well as the selected activities In order to accomplish these purposes, 15 students of class Movers at an English center in Hanoi were selected to participate in the study All the students came from the same linguistic background and they shared the same teacher and teaching contents Three data collection instruments were employed, namely pre-test/post-tests, questionnaire and class observation After months, the post-test and a questionnaire were administered The analysis of the data collected revealed that the students made progress in pronunciation by using pronunciation websites in teaching and learning pronunciation Results from the questionnaires and observation also reflected a completely positive attitude of students towards the use of these websites, and students claimed that the selected activities helped them have more fun and motivation in learning pronunciation On this basis, useful implications for teachers‘ preparation, classroom practices and future research were proposed ii z CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS i ABSTRACT .ii CONTENTS iii LIST OF FIGURES, TABLES AND CHARTS vi INTRODUCTION 1 Statement of the problem and rationale of the study Aims

INTRODUCTION Statement of the problem and rationale of the study The last few decades have seen phenomenal growth in the demand for English It is now thought to be one of the crucial features for people‘s success in not only academic life but also in people‘s casual life In Vietnam, English has become increasingly important not only as a mean of global communication but also as bridge to mankind‘s knowledge Most of Vietnamese try to master English in order to communicate, gain knowledge and get better chances for their life Vietnamese children learn English quite early because their parents believe that the younger they are, the better they learn English To meet the demand of society, there are a lot of English centers for children opened in Hanoi- the capital of Vietnam English teachers always try to apply new methods and materials to help their students improve English Besides course books and other written resources, technology integrated language teaching provides a lot of materials for language learners as well Websites might be regarded as online teaching tools which can be very effective resources both for learners and teachers After teaching at some English centers in Hanoi for years and teaching the students as participants in this study for months, the researcher notices the poor pronunciation with incorrect word stress of many students Though they seem not to have problems with grammar, fluency or ideas, they have difficulties in pronouncing certain consonants, vowels and similar sounds in English Besides, words and sentences are usually produced with wrong stress pattern or no stress at all The researcher has taken this matter into consideration a lot The students seem not eager to learn pronunciation and feel difficult to correct their mistakes Meanwhile, most of them are really into surfing the Internet on computers or mobile phone to play games or watch films every day, which inspires the researcher the

idea of using websites for pronunciation instruction The websites include not only standard video clips that guide students to pronounce English sounds but they also provide a wide range of exercises, games, quizzes and activities with pictures and other illustrations, which are believed to attract the children Besides, using websites to study English pronunciation can give students chances to listen again and practice the words, phrases, sentences at home So far, there are some studies which have been conducted to discover the effectiveness of using technology in teaching English in general and in pronunciation aspect in particular For example, Nguyen Thi Kim Dung (2014) found out the challenges the teacher encountered in applying IT (MS Powerpoint) in teaching medical vocabulary terms to the second year students at Thanh Hoa medical college as well as provide suggestions to enhance effective utilization of MS Powerpoint here Besides, Tran Thi Tuyet Mai (2010) in other context, at Duy Tien C high school, worked on the effectiveness of using English traditional songs to improve students‘ pronunciation With the similar aspect, another study conducted named ―A study on using multimedia for teaching pronunciation to preintermediate students in Crazy Ones English center” (Trieu Ngoc Tuan, 2015) showed a variety of using multimedia and assessing their impacts in teaching pronunciation Actually, those studies were conducted with the participants who are high school and college students, have a long time to learn English and pronunciation as well Differently, the researcher would like to work on children aged from 8-10 at different English center where the researcher is working with the objective to enhance the students‘ pronunciation by using some websites; with these subjects, it is more concrete than the previous studies Aims and objectives of the study This research aims at using websites to motivate 8-10 year- old children in improving pronunciation at the chosen English center According to the aim, the researcher points out some main objectives as below: - Investigating how students in class Movers at the English center improve

APPENDIX Teacher’s observation and anecdotal notes Date: February 25, 2018 Content: Phonetics symbols & Phonetics chart (Lesson 2) Activities applied: Matching the symbols and the words Students’ attendance: All 15 students were present Classroom atmosphere Relaxing and encouraging, sometimes boring Students’ participation and performance Participation: At first, some students were nevous and anxious when the teacher called them Next some others volunteered to take part in the activity Then Most of the students enjoyed the activity They were very attentive and activive when taking part in the activity Performance: Students had better pronunciation They were more aware of the sounds of the words and more careful when pronouncing them However, the minority of students still pronounced the diphtongs too short, which made the sounds not sound like two vowel sounds Many students still had problems with word stress and put more force on the last syllable However, the objective of this lesson was not word stress, teacher did not take time to correct them because there will be a specific lesson for word stress Teacher’s difficulties It was sometimes hard for the teacher to encourage some very timid and shy students to take part in the activity VIII
