What are the attitudes of students and teachers towards pair and group work in a speaking lesson there? Whether the teachers organize pair and group work in their speaking lessons or not ? As a practitioner of English at Viet Bac High school for years, I have always been aware of the importance of developing speaking skill for my students I myself think that with profound understanding of the students‟ real needs and their difficulties, teachers can gradually help them achieve fluency and confidence in their speaking Within the scope of this study, the researcher seeks to aim at a study on “Viet Bac high school 11th grade students’ and teachers’ attitudes towards the applications of pair work and group work in teaching and learning English speaking skills” It is also hoped that this study may offer the teachers in the English Faculty, Viet Bac High school, ways on how to use pair work and group work in teaching speaking skills more effectively TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigation.into.Viet.Bac.High.school.11th.grade.students.and.teachers''.attitudes.towards.the.applications.of.pairwork.and.groupwork.in.teaching.and.learning.English.speaking.skills(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigation.into.Viet.Bac.High.school.11th.grade.students.and.teachers''.attitudes.towards.the.applications.of.pairwork.and.groupwork.in.teaching.and.learning.English.speaking.skills(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigation.into.Viet.Bac.High.school.11th.grade.students.and.teachers''.attitudes.towards.the.applications.of.pairwork.and.groupwork.in.teaching.and.learning.English.speaking.skills(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigation.into.Viet.Bac.High.school.11th.grade.students.and.teachers''.attitudes.towards.the.applications.of.pairwork.and.groupwork.in.teaching.and.learning.English.speaking.skills (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigation.into.Viet.Bac.High.school.11th.grade.students.and.teachers''.attitudes.towards.the.applications.of.pairwork.and.groupwork.in.teaching.and.learning.English.speaking.skills(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigation.into.Viet.Bac.High.school.11th.grade.students.and.teachers''.attitudes.towards.the.applications.of.pairwork.and.groupwork.in.teaching.and.learning.English.speaking.skills(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigation.into.Viet.Bac.High.school.11th.grade.students.and.teachers''.attitudes.towards.the.applications.of.pairwork.and.groupwork.in.teaching.and.learning.English.speaking.skills(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).An.investigation.into.Viet.Bac.High.school.11th.grade.students.and.teachers''.attitudes.towards.the.applications.of.pairwork.and.groupwork.in.teaching.and.learning.English.speaking.skills 1.2 Aims of the study The study aims to achieve the following primary aims: to investigate the attitudes of teachers and 11th grade students at Viet Bac (i) high school towards the application of pair and groupwork in teaching and learning speaking skills (ii) to examine the current situations of the application of pair and group work in teaching and learning speaking skills at this school (iii) to suggest some simple activities of pair work and group work to make students interested in their speaking lessons 1.3 Research questions This study aims to answer the following research questions: (i) What are attitudes of 11th grade students and teachers at Viet Bac high school towards the application of pair work and group work in learning and teaching speaking skills ?
