PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale for the study English has become one of the most popular languages all over the world Many Vietnamese people realize the importance of English because it is an international, extra-cultural medium of communication Consequently, it has become a compulsory subject in most of the schools and universities Being a perceptive skill, listening skill plays an important role in communicating; teaching and learning English process, and it has also been defined an active process during which listeners construct meaning from oral input (Bently & Bacon, 1996) Of the total time spent on communicating, listening takes up 40-50%, speaking 25-30%, reading 11-16% and writing about 9% (Mendelsohn, 1994) Although everyone knows the significant role of listening in communicating as well as teaching and learning English, teaching and learning English at ALHS still focus on grammar and vocabulary Therefore, both teachers and students not pay much attention to listening skill Consequently, students are weak at listening and have a lot of difficulties in listening acquisitions They even become stressful and ignorant in listening lessons The above reasons have inspired me to conduct a study on "Factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening skills at An Lao High School" with the expectation of improving the teaching and learning English listening at ALHS Aims of the study This study aims to investigate the factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening skills in Grade 11 at ALHS The following are the aims of the study:

 The factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening in Grade 11 at ALHS; and  The teachers' solutions to help students learn English listening better in Grade 11 at ALHS Research questions The study focuses on answering the following questions: What are the factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening skills in Grade 11 at ALHS? What can the teachers to motivate students in learning English listening skills in Grade 11 at ALHS? Scope of the study To improve English listening skill for the students in Grade 11 at ALHS The researcher's intention is to find out factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening and some suggestions for the teachers to help students to improve their listening skill Method of the study In order to achieve the aims of the study, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used involving two instruments: survey questionnaires and interviews Design of the study This study consists of three main parts: the introduction, the development and the conclusion Part A is the Introduction It lays out the reasons for choosing the topic of this thesis and points out the aims, the scope, the methods, research questions and the design of the study Part B is the Development which consists of three chapters: (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Factors.affecting.students''.motivation.in.learning.English.listening.skills.at.An.Lao.High.School(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Factors.affecting.students''.motivation.in.learning.English.listening.skills.at.An.Lao.High.School(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Factors.affecting.students''.motivation.in.learning.English.listening.skills.at.An.Lao.High.School(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Factors.affecting.students''.motivation.in.learning.English.listening.skills.at.An.Lao.High.School TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Factors.affecting.students''.motivation.in.learning.English.listening.skills.at.An.Lao.High.School(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Factors.affecting.students''.motivation.in.learning.English.listening.skills.at.An.Lao.High.School(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Factors.affecting.students''.motivation.in.learning.English.listening.skills.at.An.Lao.High.School(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Factors.affecting.students''.motivation.in.learning.English.listening.skills.at.An.Lao.High.School Chapter – Literature Review -
