introduction of the research, the aims that inspired the author to this study, the research questions, and the scope of the study Rationale and statement of the Study Learning vocabulary is an essential component in learning a second language Wilkins (1997:111) stated, “Without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed” This statement shows us the importance of vocabulary and how hard it is to be understood without vocabulary It is a common fact that when students cannot express any statements, they would look up the dictionary to check new words A recent study by Ramachandran and Rahim (2004) investigated the effectiveness of using the translation method in recalling the meaning and retention of the words with elementary level ESL Their results indicated that the translation method through using the first language was more effective than the non-translation method in enhancing ESL learners‟ vocabulary learning ability, and it could improve elementary ESL learner‟s ability to recall the meaning of the word learnt Auer Bach (1993) claims that the use of the learner‟s L1 in the L2 classroom will have a positive effect on learners‟ second language learning, especially in the area of vocabulary However, due to the continuously increasing demand for communication purposes, nowadays many teachers feel interested in using Communicative Approach to teach vocabulary, in which the implicit approach is used to teach students vocabulary by emphasizing on guessing the meaning of the word by looking at the context where the words are located or using visual aids to teach new words Then the teachers refuse to apply Translation Method, which mainly uses explicit instructions to directly teach students vocabulary Personally, the researcher is interested in the findings of many researchers including Nation (2001) and Kroll and Curley (1988) that new second language words are stored more effectively in the brain when they are linked to their first language equivalents So the author of this research make an investigation into a concrete case (at Tran Nhan Tong High School) to find out the

hanoi(LUAN.van.THAC.si).an.investigation.into.the.use.of.translation.method.in.vocabulary.teaching.and.learning.at.tran.nhan.tong.high.school hanoi answer for the question about the real situation of using Translation Method in vocabulary teaching and learning at high school at the present Aims of the study As it was stated before, there are a number of reasons for teachers to reject using Translation Method in their teaching despite the fact that many researchers did studies and found out that this method had positive effect on students‟ vocabulary acquisition Therefore, the author did this research to investigate the real situation of applying Translation Method in vocabulary teaching and learning of teachers and students at Tran Nhan Tong High School The researcher would like to know whether they are applying this Method to their teaching and learning or not, and if Translation Method is still used, how the teachers and students think about its effectiveness towards their vocabulary teaching and learning Research Questions How is Translation Method applied in vocabulary teaching and learning at Tran Nhan Tong High School? How effective teachers and students at Tran Nhan Tong High School find the Translation Method to their vocabulary teaching and learning? The scope of the study In this study, the researcher would like to investigate the real situation of applying Translation Method in vocabulary teaching and learning field, not second language learning in general; therefore, the observation mainly happened in reading, language focus and writing periods The summary In this first part, the author introduced the thesis with the aims that inspired her to conduct the study as well as the research questions The author also presented the scope of the study that the thesis‟s focus was the application of Translation Method in vocabulary teaching and learning so she did not pay attention equally to all lessons of the participants

chapters: literature review; methodology and data analysis and discussions Chapter 1: Literature review This chapter looks at the literature review of Translation Method and vocabulary teaching The summaries of previous researches on closely –related topics are also included 1.1 Vocabulary 1.1.1 Definitions of vocabulary According to Penny Ur (1996:60), the vocabulary was roughly defined as “the words we teach in the foreign language.” It was also accepted that “a new item of vocabulary may be more than a single word: for example, post office and mother-inlaw, which are made up of two or three words but express a single idea” Added to that, Michael Lewis (1993:89) said that vocabulary “may be individual words or full sentences - institutionalized utterances - that convey fixed social or pragmatic meaning within a given community" According to Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary Third Edition (2008), vocabulary is defined as “all the words which exist in a particular language or subject” (p.1624) This definition covers vocabulary‟s meaning on the whole However, it is not the knowledge of words and word meanings, vocabulary is more complex than this definition suggests The definition does not totally show a deep understanding about vocabulary In conclusion, there are many different definitions about vocabulary, but the idea that vocabulary is the total number of words existing in a language, including single words as well as multi-word items of which meaning cannot be deduced from the analysis of the component words but only understood in the sentences; or in contexts, is more favorable 1.1.2 The roles of vocabulary in language teaching and learning

hanoi(LUAN.van.THAC.si).an.investigation.into.the.use.of.translation.method.in.vocabulary.teaching.and.learning.at.tran.nhan.tong.high.school hanoi It is widely accepted that vocabulary is the most important language element among pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar Wilkins (1972:111) emphasizes the special role of vocabulary in teaching and learning a language Shafaei and Nejati (2009) also strongly supported this idea that “vocabulary is one of the most important objectives in teaching of foreign languages” (p 32) Vocabulary is important in all four language skills In terms of speaking, it is impossible to communicate without vocabulary In addition, sometimes, students have difficulties in finding the proper words to express themselves In terms of listening, the vocabulary errors caused confusion of the texts and difficulty in listening comprehension Most importantly, vocabulary plays a role in reading It is indicated that the lack of vocabulary is the most significant obstacle for readers, which prevents them from thoroughly comprehending the text Therefore, vocabulary is a language component that plays an important role in deciding a learner‟s language proficiency If a learner has a wide range of vocabulary, it is easy to understand others; on the contrary, if his vocabulary is limited he will surely have difficulty in communication 1.1.3 What should be taught in vocabulary Richards (1976) claims that knowing a lexical item includes knowledge of word frequency, collocation, register, case relations, underlying forms, word association and semantic structure Nation and Newton (1997) look into the principled selection of vocabulary through the following dimensions: frequency; range; the ability to combine, define or replace other words; association; and availability However, Penny Ur‟(1996) states that when teaching a new English words, the teacher should provide the learners with its pronunciation and spelling, word form, grammar, collocation, aspects of meaning, word-formation  Word form Each English word has its spelling and pronunciation Learners have to know all the spelling, pronunciation and irregularities of the word they are learning  Grammar (LUAN.van.THAC.si).an.investigation.into.the.use.of.translation.method.in.vocabulary.teaching.and.learning.at.tran.nhan.tong.high.school

hanoi(LUAN.van.THAC.si).an.investigation.into.the.use.of.translation.method.in.vocabulary.teaching.and.learning.at.tran.nhan.tong.high.school hanoi The grammar of a new word should also be taught to the learners They need to know the grammatical function, the unpredictable change of form in certain grammatical contexts, the regularity and irregularity, the singular and plural forms of the new word so that they can use it correctly For example, teaching the verb “pay”, we might give its irregularity in past form “paid”; when a noun such as “a foot” is taught, it should be given its plural form as “feet”  Collocation Collocation is the way in which words are used together regularly in a specific language It refers to the restriction on how words can be used together in right contexts Thus, this is another piece of information about a new item, which may be worth teaching When introducing words like “to make” and “to do”, for example, the teacher may note that both words mean, “to perform” but can be distinguished by the words they collocate with We often say, “to the shopping” but never say, “to make the shopping”  Aspects of meaning Aspect of meaning consists of denotation, connotation, appropriateness and meaning relationship The denotation meaning refers to or point out things, concepts This is often the sort of definition given in dictionaries such as "cat" denotes a small animal with soft fur, often kept as a pet or for catching mice Connotation of a word is less obvious component of its meaning This is association, or positive and negative feelings the word evokes which may not be indicated in a dictionary definition Connotation includes stylistic, affective, evaluation, intensifying value, pragmatic communicative values, the word acquires by virtue of where, when, how and by whom, for what purpose and in what context it is or it may be used Appropriateness is more subtle aspect of meaning that indicates whether a particular item is appropriate one to use in a certain context or not Thus, it is useful for a learner to know whether a certain word is very common, or relatively rare or taboo in

much better and for a longer time Although Translation Method is undeniably beneficial to most of participants, they would like teachers to use other additional techniques to teach vocabulary so that they would be motivated to learn more 3.5 Pedagogical implications From this study teachers may gain insights into the role of Translation Method in learners‟ learning vocabulary Instead of refusing to apply Translation Method to their teaching, teachers should be aware of positive influences of Translation Method to their students, especially students with low level of English proficiency Teachers may also encourage students to use Translation with caution They should be advised to stay away from word by word translation Using translation strategy is an effective strategy especially for learning vocabulary, especially for learners who are at elementary level of English proficiency On the contrary, using Vietnamese can facilitate the development process of learning because it helps students rapidly understand the target words It will not be fair if translation causes students difficulties in improving communicative products because translation helps students to achieve new learning, which can be linked with the previous knowledge, hence meaningful learning in the next step Teachers of English as a second language should apply a variety of strategy to teach vocabulary so that students at different levels will be more motivated to learn and they can learn more effectively Translation strategy is one of the strategies that teachers should choose to apply In terms of translation exercises, teachers also need to be aware of suitable types for different students Besides choosing exercises with difficulty level corresponding to the level of students‟ English proficiency, teachers should use variety of translation tasks for students so that they are motivated to learn and eager to translating For example, to low level students, translation from English into Vietnamese can be much easier than translating from Vietnamese into English because it does not require too much target language knowledge To higher level students, teachers should ask them to finish more difficult exercises such as translation from 38 (LUAN.van.THAC.si).an.investigation.into.the.use.of.translation.method.in.vocabulary.teaching.and.learning.at.tran.nhan.tong.high.school

findings of the research From three instruments, researchers could have reliable results The two hypotheses about the use of Translation Method and its effectiveness to vocabulary teaching and learning are concluded to be true From the research‟s findings teachers of English as second language could be highly aware of using translation as one of very beneficial strategies to teach students

to investigate the use of Translation Method in vocabulary teaching and learning of teachers and students from Tran Nhan Tong High School The research also sought answers for question about the effectiveness of translation strategy to the participants The findings of the research revealed that Translation Method is still widely applied in vocabulary teaching and learning Translation strategy is also supposed to be very effective to almost students, especially students with low level of English proficiency Thanks to the findings of the research, teachers should raise their awareness of using translation strategy as a beneficial strategy to students‟ vocabulary learning In short, from this study, Translation Method is proved to be widely applied thanks to its helpfulness to language learners, especially for beginner learners or learners at low level of English proficiency Added to that, teachers should be highly aware of the conclusion that Translation Method does not reduce students‟ motivation as well as communication skill On the contrary, applying this method suitably could be very beneficial to students in improving vocabulary acquisition in particular and language proficiency in general Limitations and suggestions for further study As in all classroom studies, there are obvious limitations of this study The first restriction is the sample size of this study The sample size was small so the findings may not be true to generate to all cases Another limitation is the length of the study A month for working with more than 200 participants may be short to investigate their real teaching and learning Participants often give the response to the questions during their break time or at the end of the lessons, so they may feel tired and not very serious to give the most suitable choices to their teaching and learning, which might directly affect the research findings The author of the research investigated the use of Translation Method and it effectiveness in vocabulary teaching and learning It was a survey research so the 40
