ABSTRACT This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the use of contentbased instructions on first year students‟ vocabulary retention at Ha Long College of Arts, Culture and Tourism It made a comparison between a traditional method of teaching vocabulary with translation, spelling, the phonemic transcription and a new method involving content-based instructions to find out how students could memorize the words they learnt more effectively The observation was carried out in 06 weeks of the second semester of the first year and was divided into 12 lessons The subjects were 45 students of a class of the Hotel and Restaurant Department NVDL K13 The class received the treatment involving content-based instructions and observed by the author, who entered every necessary information in her diary Vocabulary tests, including pre-test, progress test and post-test, were administered The data collected from the test scores were analyzed to measure the size of vocabulary that students could retain The result showed considerable improvement in word memorization of the students in the class The findings of the study also indicated that content-based instructions should be used for future vocabulary learning Some implications and recommendations for the future studies were also included iii TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com
