the study Writing is an essential skill in both the first language and second language It is a means of expressing thoughts in a planned and organized way However, due to its complexity and high requirement of linguistic means, it is considered the most difficult language skill to master Regarding the context of Ngô Quyền High School in Hoa Binh, it is a noticeable that the writing lesson is the most challenging one to both the teachers and the students Rarely the teachers choose the writing lessons to perform their teaching practice for colleagues‟ evaluation due to the high risk of failure The students suffer from a certain amount of anxiety when they have to deal with a writing task In writing lessons, they usually complain that they have nothing to write, the writing tasks are too difficult for them, they have too little time to complete their writings but not recognize the problem is a lack of preparation This is one reason why the discussion section of a pre-writing activity is so important for ESL students Do the students perform pre-writing in reality? Normally, when doing a writing task, they often think in Vietnamese then translate into English, they ignore pre-writing stage and begin writing immediately, and employ pre-writing strategies only when being asked by the teacher Why so? Why they are not enthusiastic about these activities? Pre-writing activities are essential if the teachers want to help their students become better writers, help them feel more motivated and self-confident in writing lessons However whether these activities effective or not depends much on students themselves Research into students' perception and attitudes towards pre-writing activities can add to the growing body of knowledge about teaching writing skill and contribute valuable data that can be used to inform decisions regarding the implementation and exploitation of these activities What the students at Ngô Quyền High School perceive the pre-writing activities provided by their teacher, how they response with these? What are the implications for the teachers in teaching writing skill? These questions have drawn my interest in carrying out the current research which focuses on the investigation of the students‟ perception and attitudes towards pre-writing activities at Ngô Quyền High School (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University Hanoi TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University Hanoi 2 Objectives of the study This study aims at exploring Ngô Quyền High School students‟ perception and attitudes towards pre-writing activities Some pre-writing activities are proposed and evaluated by students with a view to giving some recommendations on how to design effective pre-writing activities The specific objectives of the research are as follows:  Investigating what the students at Ngô Quyền High School perceive of prewriting activities in writing lessons  Exploring their attitudes towards pre-writing activities  Giving some suggestions to increase the effectiveness of pre-writing activities to the students at Ngô Quyền High School Research questions of the study To achieve the objectives of the study, the thesis is designed to answer the following questions: How the students at Ngô Quyền High School perceive pre-writing activities provided by the teachers? What attitudes towards pre-writing activities they hold? What are the students’ preferences for pre-writing activities? Methods of the study This is a survey research To seek answers to the above research questions, a survey questionnaire was used Mile and Huberman (1994: 253) state three good reasons for resorting to numbers: “to see rapidly what you have in a large batch of data; to verify a hunch or hypothesis; to keep yourself analytically honest, protecting against bias” Moreover, using questionnaires in research may help participants approach the problem more easily For the reasons mentioned above, the survey research seems to be the most suitable for the scope and objectives of my study However, this method has its own limitation, that is, the results collected may not reflect the matter proposed precisely In order to reduce the invalidity and unreliability, the author will give clear instructions to the students; observe the class to make sure that the students answer each question themselves; or ask students to check their answers

and length constraint of the study, the author only focuses on surveying 11th form students at Ngô Quyền high school to find out their perception of prewriting activities in terms of the importance and benefits, their preferences and attitudes towards these activities in writing lessons Although the author is well aware that the survey statistics are not fully representative of all high school students studying English in Hoa Binh, she hopes to propose some of the most popular facts that occur in this study Significance of the study Pedagogically, the findings and comments of the study are believed to be relevant to improving the teaching of writing to the students The study may help teachers make their writing lessons more effective so that they can help their students develop writing skill as well as other language skills Design of the study The study consists of three main parts: Part One - Introduction- provides the overview of the study with the rationale, the objectives, the research questions, the methods, the scope, the significance and the design of the study Part Two- Development- includes chapters in which chapter deals with the literature review relevant to the study; Chapter describes the setting of the study and how the study is carried out, and Chapter presents the data analysis and discussion Part Three- Conclusion- reviews what has been presented in the study and suggests some implications for improving the effectiveness of pre-writing activities

LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL BACKGROUND This chapter reviews theories related to writing skill and pre-writing activities, students‟ perception and attitudes towards language learning which can be applied in the teaching of writing It also reviews current researches on students‟ perception and attitudes in this issue and summarizes some related studies that have been conducted so far All of these serve as a basis for seeking insight into students‟ perception and attitudes about writing lessons employing pre-writing activities and their reflected effectiveness 1.1 Learner beliefs, perception and attitudes towards language learning Learners‟ success in language learning depends much on their perception and attitudes towards learning a foreign language Perception and attitudes shape beliefs and are influenced by beliefs To understand more about this, an overview of learner beliefs, perception and attitudes is necessary 1.1.1 Definition of beliefs, perception and attitudes There are many definitions of beliefs, perception and attitudes Most often, researchers adopt definitions that suit the purposes of their own empirical frameworks and reflect personal ideological viewpoints In this thesis, the author will quote the following ones because they are simple but comprehensive and she will conduct the study on this theoretical background  Belief: According to Oxford Advanced Learner‟s Dictionary, belief is defined as a thing that one accepts as true or real Another definition of belief provided by Horwitz (1987) is a statement that is held to be true, that affects language learning practices  Perception: According to Lindsay & Norman (1997) perception is the process by which organisms interpret and organize sensation to produce a meaningful experience of` the world Sensation usually refers to the immediate, relatively unprocessed result of stimulation of sensory receptors in the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, or skin Perception, on the other hand, better describes one‟s ultimate experience of the world and typically involves further processing of sensory input In practice, sensation and perception are virtually impossible to separate, because they are part (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Students''.perception.and.attitudes.towards.pre.writing.activities.at.Ngo.Quyen.High.school.Master’s.thesis Vietnam.National.University

knowledge Teacher should take full advantage of reading materials used as models of writing that make students gain familiarity with the ways writers work Through reading texts students can widen their knowledge, identify important features they can apply in their own writing Students can this at home before the class to save their time in class Writing is a skill that has to be honed The single best way to get students to write better is to have them write and write, and write and then write some more: essays, creative writing, journal writing, letters to others, etc Often, we avoid things we not like or not well But nobody will ever improve with that attitude! Set up ways for your students to practice pre-writing activities a little everyday It will be better if the teachers help student‟s self-study and practice pre-writing activities regularly in the class and at home (one of the common activities is asking students to write portfolio ) 2.3 Emphasizing useful pre-writing One key to gain good ideas and to improve writing skills is gaining good pre-writing skills: the ability to figure out the pieces before you put the puzzle together on paper Teaching good pre-writing skills is essential if you want to help a child become a better writer Teacher should help the students develop classroom practice One way to get that message across is giving them an assignment to write based on a bunch of jumbled information, then having them write another one from a clear and detailed outline This is a great strategy for providing writing help Another way to give them practice in pre-writing is to create assignments which only require a pre-writing step: brainstorming, outlining, writing topic sentences or introductions, etc No "final draft" needed But keep them honest - don't let them hand in half-done pre-writing work And also, make sure pre-writing is a tool that makes things easier and not an end to itself We, teachers need to make sure not to emphasize minutiae and rules (what roman numeral to use, not use an 'a' if you don't have a 'b' ) over teaching students HOW to use pre-writing to fulfill its mission: helping the writer complete the project! Sure, students should learn to formal outlines, but if the assignment becomes more about correct form than creating something that functions, there's room for revision in that assignment 2.4 Carefully preparing pre-writing activities Teachers should prepare a list of activities with useful language knowledge, good time

effective visual aids and clear instructions giving Only when there are enough preparations in the pre-writing stage, students‟ block of ideas will be removed and their enthusiasm for the lessons will be increase 2.5 Carrying out appropriate collaborative activities Pair work and group work activities should be used more frequently by the teachers at Ngo Quyen High School since they help encourage an effective process of writing Depending on each type of written text, different teaching and learning contexts, students‟ personalities, abilities, and preferences, teacher can set up effectively collaborative prewriting activities 2.6 Creating a motivating learning environment The classroom climate is a key in the process of learning which promotes student learning and the key to climate is the teacher‟s attitude toward students‟ performent When teachers tolerate learners‟ errors, the learners will feel more confident in using the target language Teachers should focus on techniques for correcting students‟ mistakes If a teacher desires student questions, they must be greeted with enthusiasm, a commitment of time and an unthreatening manner Teacher should play an active role as a facilitator to encourage students They should be creative, humorous and friendly They should keep walking around the class so as to check students‟ work at the same time to encourage the students to study by giving help immediately when they need Clarification and wholehearted guidance are influential factors which help to stimulate students The teachers‟ instructions and explanations should be short and clear enough so that all students know what they have to and how to the task In some cases, it is advisable for the teachers to use Vietnamese These help students maintain their involvement in the lesson and avoid confusion Making classroom the places where learners enjoy coming and where the atmosphere is supportive and non-threatening is positive contribution to learners‟ motivation to learn Last but not least, change the activities day by day, try to take care every kinds of students in class, both the good ones and the weak ones Do not put the burden on the good and let the weak take no responsibility in the lessons Limitations of the study Although the researcher has made effort conducting this thesis, there undoubtedly exists some limitations

out an investigation into the perception and attitudes of grade 11 students towards pre-writing activities, so to some extent, the results may not be generalized for all students of the school Secondly, although the researcher used both survey questionnaire and interview as the research instruments for data collections, the researcher should combine different tools for data collection like observation in order to make obtained result more reliable Recommendations for further study On the basis of findings and limitations of the study, the following suggestions are made for further research A study on the perception and attitudes of students towards while and post writing stages A study on using techniques in teaching writing to improve students‟ writing skills
