Thai.Nguyen.M.A.Thesis.Linguistics.60.140.111 ABSTRACT This study aims to carry out an investigation on how Song Cong High School (SCHS) students in Thai Nguyen City, Thai Nguyen Province, Vietnam learn English vocabulary The purposes of this study were as follows: to find out the SCHS students‟ perceptions of English vocabulary learning, to explore the SCHS students‟ strategies used in learning English vocabulary to find out the most and least commonly vocabulary learning strategies employed by the SCHS students in learning English vocabulary, to examine the relationship between students‟ vocabulary learning strategies and their level of study and to provide implications for the teaching and learning of the English vocabulary A sample of 60 participants was drawn from SCHS The questionnaire was both quantitatively used to analyze the collected data The questionnaire was used to elicit the SCHS students‟ perception of vocabulary learning Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to measure the frequency use of certain vocabulary learning strategies The results from the questionnaire indicated that not many students were aware of their vocabulary learning process and conscious of the strategies being used to achieve better results Using English-Vietnamese dictionary, asking teachers or friends to translate new English words into Vietnamese, remembering parts of the speech, using new words in sentences, verbal repetition and written repetition are among the strategies frequently used by these participants It can be seen that the most frequently used strategies are basic and popular ones which brings about few changes in the results iii

Thai.Nguyen.M.A.Thesis.Linguistics.60.140.111 challenging task of teaching English Teachers can help students use more vocabulary learning strategies to facilitate their vocabulary learning Based on the findings of this study, some recommendations are proposed for English teachers in Vietnam It is a fact that what learners know about themselves and about their own learning process can affect their use of language learning Learners‟ level of strategy perceptions also influences strategy use Therefore, in order to improve students‟ language learning, teachers need to understand what learning strategies students use and encourage lower proficiency students to use effective learning strategies in their learning process Moreover, teaching methods often influence how students learn Teachers should become more aware of their students‟ strategies in order to orient teaching methods more appropriately Learners should be encouraged to “learn how to learn” and “learn how to use” a foreign language in a variety of instructional programmes around the world Therefore, teachers should offer strategy training to students as part of the curriculum according to Oxford and Leaver (1996) (cited in Cohen, 1998), as strategy training encourages students to find their own pathways to success, and thus it promotes learner autonomy and self direction It also helps learners consider the factors that affect their learning and discover the strategies that suit them best To this, teachers need to know which vocabulary learning strategies exist and what form of knowledge and skills learners need to acquire in order to successfully use each of them Then teachers prepare an adequate amount of activities and tasks for learners to develop gradually into independent strategy users There are several patterns of strategic teaching at their disposal such as demonstrating the use of the strategy, asking students to use the strategy supporting each other, asking students to report the use of the strategy, and so on From the work of Oxford(1990) and Rubin(1987), Graham (1997) (cited in Pavicic, 2008) the following strategies could be used: Writing words on word cards, with their meaning on the back; Systematic grouping of words (e.g according to topic, function, etc.); Saying words out loud while learning; Recording words on tape and listening to it; Connecting words with pictures or to similarly sounding words in the first language; Connecting words with situations; 36

Thai.Nguyen.M.A.Thesis.Linguistics.60.140.111 Connecting words with places (e.g its position in the notebook); The Keyword Method; Natural associations (e.g antonyms); 10 Learning related words (e.g according to their suffix) Besides, all students investigated were used to using monolingual dictionary, which is not very useful for the learning, where as using bilingual dictionary facilitates comprehension and word retention (Luppescu & Day, 1995) It even doubles the amount of memorised vocabulary (Fraser, 1999) (cited in Pavicic, 2008) However, if they cannot use a dictionary appropriately, for example looking up (too) many words or not understanding some given definitions, learners can become frustrated This is why learners need to be trained in dictionary use, and need to be provided with opportunities to practise this strategy in the frame work of various language tasks In conclusion, teachers play an important role in raising students‟ awareness of their vocabulary learning strategy use Teachers can train their students become autonomous and self-directed learners by understanding their learning situations and reflect it on their teaching curriculum and teaching methods Limitations of the Study The strengths of this study are the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods yielding the process of in-depth data collection and analysis so that the findings of the study will be validated However, like other research studies so far in the field of language acquisition, the study brings in certain limitations which should be clarified to overcome doubts about the reliability and validity of the study The following limitations apply to the present study Firstly, the population of this study was limited It might not be considered as representatives of the other Vietnamese regions Secondly, the purposive sampling procedure of this study decreased the generalizability of findings even though random sampling was used as well The participants were chosen based on convenience and availability This study was not generalized to all cities in Vietnam since the aim for this study was to investigate indepth how the SCHS students in senior high schools learn English vocabulary Thirdly, in order to investigate how the SCHS students learn English vocabulary, the research questions in the study only focused on the SCHS students‟ perceptions 37 (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigationinto.vobulary.learning.strategiesemployed.by.students.at.Song.Cong.high.School

discussed in part above, the researcher offers some recommendations for further studies in L2 vocabulary learning Vietnam Firstly, a large-scale survey study covering the regions in the future is required so as to make the findings of the study more generalizable Secondly, more research methods/instruments such as classroom observation, diary studies, etc together with questionnaire are needed to use triangulatedly to collect data in the future studies so that the findings of the study could be more reliable Finally, more research questions related to the SCHS students‟ vocabulary learning strategies could be conducted in future studies, such as the correlation between strategies use and English proficiency, differences strategies used between/among different grades, etc 38

Thai.Nguyen.M.A.Thesis.Linguistics.60.140.111 Student’ Perceptions of using Vocabulary learning No Once the English equivalents of all Vietnamese words have been remembered, English is learned The best way to remember words is to memorize word lists or dictionaries Remembering the meanings of a word is an end in itself A good memory is all you need to learn a foreign language well Repetition is the best way to remember words You can only acquire a large vocabulary by memory of individual words The meanings of a considerable amount of words can be picked up through reading One can expand his vocabulary simply through reading a lot Guessing words in context is one of the best ways to learn vocabulary 10 When you come across a word several times in different context, you will know what it means 11 I can arrange when and how many words I will memorize I arrange a short-term goal and a long-term goal for memorizing new words 13 I check my progress on word study regularly 14 I often self-evaluation for my words study so as to improve memorizing methods/strategies 15 I know when a new word or phrase is essential for adequate comprehension of a passage 16 I know which words are important for me to learn 17 I know what cues I should use in guessing the meaning of a particular word 18 Besides textbooks, I look for other readings that fall under my interest 19 I wouldn‟t learn

sentence when guessing the meaning of a new word 24 I look for any examples provided in the context when guessing the meaning of a new word 25 I make use of the part of speech of a new word when guessing its meaning 26 When I see an unfamiliar word again and again, I look it up 27 When I want to confirm my guess about a word, I look it up 28 When I don‟t know the usage of a word I already
