PART A: INTRODUCTION Statement of the problem and rationale for the study Language skills have never been more important than today because in a global world where information travels fast, and people frequently interact across borders, the ability to communicate effectively is very necessary It can not be denied that English is now considered to be a means of international communication and an important tool to connect countries all over the world It is English that plays an essential role in the path of industrialization and modernization as well as in the process of integration and globalization of every country in the world In Vietnam, English teaching and learning has become a great concern over the last decades It has been a compulsory program in most of educational campuses such as institutions, universities, colleges and schools at different levels There are more and more people desiring to know and master English because of different purposes: to pass examinations, to keep up with the latest development in science and technology in the world, or to cater their practical needs Among the four skills known as listening, speaking, writing and listening, speaking skill plays an important part in language teaching in the context of Vietnam For many learners, speaking skill is the most important of the four skills in a second language in general and in English in particular However, it is the fact that most of students at Hai Duong College (HDC) seem to consider speaking skill to be the most challenging From observations and teaching experiences, the author realizes that students pay little attention to communicative skills such as listening and speaking They seem to have lost interest in learning English and they are not active in participating in speaking activities They feel nervous in speaking class and become demotivated in learning speaking These lead to the underachievement and have a negative effect on students in learning English as a foreign language With the desire to identify the factors affecting students’ demotivation and find out some solutions for this problem, I decided to choose the topic “Demotivating (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Dimotivating.factors.for.the.first.year.non.English.major.students.in.learning.to.speak.English.at.Hai.Duong.college(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Dimotivating.factors.for.the.first.year.non.English.major.students.in.learning.to.speak.English.at.Hai.Duong.college(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Dimotivating.factors.for.the.first.year.non.English.major.students.in.learning.to.speak.English.at.Hai.Duong.college(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Dimotivating.factors.for.the.first.year.non.English.major.students.in.learning.to.speak.English.at.Hai.Duong.college

Factors for the First Year non-English Major Students in Learning to Speak English at Hai Duong College” as the title of my minor thesis Aims of the study The major purposes of this study are: - To identify the demotivating factors affecting the first year non-English majors learning to speak English - To figure out some suggested solutions to eliminate the demotivation and help to improve students’ speaking skills Research questions The study is implemented to find out the answers for the following questions: What are the demotivating factors affecting the first year non-English major students in learning to speak English at HDC? What solutions the teachers and the students suggest to overcome the students’ demotivation in learning speaking skills? Methods of the study To achieve the aims of the study, both quantitative and qualitative methods are employed The data was collected by means of questionnaires and interview Two sets of survey questionnaires, one for students and the other for teachers, were mainly used to get information and evidence for the study To get more reliable data, an interview was conducted All the comments, remarks, recommendations and conclusions provided in the thesis were based on the analysis of the data Scope of the study This study is limited to the student’s demotivation in learning to speak English at HDC Therefore, the investigation of the issue on other skills will not be included in the study Furthermore, it should be taken into consideration that the subjects of the study are the first year non-English majors who are being taught speaking skill under the communicative approach

students, teachers’ enthusiasm and help are a big source of encouragement in learning the skills Recommendations On the basis of the findings, the researcher put forward some recommendations which are of great significance to teachers and students  Increasing students’ self-confidence Self-confidence can be considered to be the key factor which plays a vital role in learning a language Students are likely to completely overcome demotivation if they are aware of the importance of their self-determination to learn English It is believed to help them be more autonomous and independent in learning process Therefore, teachers should foster the belief in their students that competence is a changeable and controllable aspect of development Besides, providing students with regular experiences of success is also a good way to inspire students’ motivation to learn  Creating a friendly and non-threatening learning atmosphere In order to reduce students’ demotivation, it is necessary to provide students with plentiful opportunities to get involved in the activities actively Establishing a good rapport between students and teachers is of great importance Students also need steady encouragement and support from teachers Besides, it is teachers’ positive behaviours that help to build students’ self-esteem and they will not feel stressful in the classroom Therefore, teachers should be patient and tolerant when supporting students’ learning efforts Negative teacher behaviors usually hurt students, leaving them with negative feelings towards both teachers and English that are very difficult to cope with  Making better use of teaching facilities Teaching facilities are of great use because they can support teachers to have interesting lectures to students In the current situation, teachers should make use of the available equipment to better their teaching In addition, teachers need to be trained how to utilize these devices effectively and properly If they misuse or 38

overuse these, it may take a lot of time to prepare and even distract students from the main points of the lessons For the long-term aim, the school should equip more adequate teaching devices such as computers, projectors or multi-media labs in order to improve the quality of English teaching and learning in general and the learning of speaking in particular  Enhancing students’ intrinsic motivation Students will be interested in speaking if they have the language knowledge they need as well as a good pronunciation to express their ideas For each topic, teachers should provide them with necessary vocabulary and grammatical structures in the preparation stage Besides, pronunciation should be integrated into every lesson Interesting activities and proper teaching facilities also help to motivate students to learn  Giving students clear instructions and sufficient explanation Clear instructions can be considered to be the first and most important stage in the preparation for each speaking activity since students can take part in the activity only when they know what to and how to it Therefore, teachers should give short, simple and clear instructions and check them again to make sure that students can understand what to be done If there are any difficulties or if students make mistakes, the most crucial rule is to explain that sufficiently for students It is obviously true that students are not able to take part in any activity if they not know the rules thoroughly  Applying and adapting suitable teaching methods Teachers’ teaching methods play an important role in motivating students to learn speaking English If the students find the teacher’s teaching style suitable, they will be willing to get involved in the lesson Undoubtedly, it is beneficial for students if different teaching techniques are applied so that their demotivation can be reduced As revealed in the findings, there existed a gap between the frequency of teachers’ using communicative activities and the students’ preference for these activities Students appeared to be interested in games but this kind of activity was 39

not often adopted by the teachers They all employed discussion even though this seemed to be difficult and boring for most of the students Therefore, teachers’ flexibility in employing different techniques to suit students’ different learning styles is also of considerable significance  Adapting the topics in the textbook The findings of the study revealed that textbook is also a factor demotivating students to speak For this reason, teachers should adapt the topics so that they are suitable to students’ level In addition, teachers should provide students with necessary vocabulary, grammar and background knowledge to help students deal with difficult or uncommon themes By that way, students will be confident to take part in the activity Limitations of the study Due to various constraints and scope of the study, the present research displays certain limitations First, this study investigated the demotivating factors for the first year non-English majors at HDC However, with the limited number of participants, the results of the study may not reliably reflect the teaching context Second, if time was available, an interview with teacher subjects would be conducted to add more validity to the research Suggestions for further research Due to the small scope and limited time, the research only focused on speaking skill Therefore, the coming research can focus on the other three skills in particular or foreign language learning in general Furthermore, the researchers can focus on more learners at other levels and more teachers to participate in the studies to have more reliable findings and perceptions of the issue In addition, since the research was carried out within the case of HDC, other researchers may conduct the study at other training programs and teaching contexts 40
