PART A: INTRODUCTION This part presents the rationale, aims, research question, research methodology and scope of the study In addition, design of the study is also briefly mentioned Rationale Vocabulary teaching and learning plays an important role in the process of language acquisition because there is a close relationship between vocabulary and the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing Reality shows that due to the shortage of vocabulary, many learners fail to communicate smoothly though their knowledge of grammar is fairly good Therefore, Wilkins (1972) emphasized: “Without grammar, very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed”(p.11) In addition, with the development of profession in many fields such as engineering, information science, finance and banking…, there is a worldwide increase in the need for English for specific purpose (ESP) However, the prominent difference between ESP and English for General Purpose (EGP) is the lexicon as Zimmerman (1997 as cited in Eyraud, el al, 200, p.2) states “Vocabulary is central to language and of critical importance to the typical language learner” and it is further described by Jahangard (2007, p.8) that vocabulary, particularly specialist vocabulary (or terminology), is a key element of ESP At Sao Do University, ESP is offered to both English majors and non – English majors However, ESP vocabulary teaching and learning have not been paid enough attention and still far from satisfactory due to many reasons such as course book, mixed – level students, large class, low learner motivation and poor participation Thus, it is necessary for teachers to create an active and motivated learning environment to get students to involve in learning vocabulary Among various kinds of techniques, simulation is defined as “reality of function in a simulated and structured environment” (Jones, K 1982) Simulation with its characteristics and advantages is considered one of the most useful activities that can help students enlarge their vocabulary Moreover, up to now, there has been little research on the application of simulation tasks in improving ESP vocabulary for foreign language learners

For the above reasons, the author would like to carry out this research entitled, “Using simulation tasks to improve ESP vocabulary for the second – year students of Automotive Engineering Technology Department at Sao Do University” The author does hope that this study will help the teachers in some ways to find appropriate teaching method to improve vocabulary for their students Aims of the study The study aims at investigating the use of simulation tasks to improve vocabulary among the second year students at Automotive Engineering Technology Department (AETD), SDU The main purposes of the study are summarized below: To investigate the difficulties encountered by the second year students at AETD, SDU when learning ESP vocabulary To find out the techniques that teachers at SDU used in teaching ESP vocabulary To find out how far the use of simulation tasks improved ESP vocabulary for the second year students at AETD, SDU Research questions What difficulties students of Automotive Engineering Technology Department face with during the process of acquiring vocabulary? What are the techniques that teachers at SDU employ in teaching ESP vocabulary? How can simulation tasks improve ESP vocabulary for the second year students at AETD, SDU? Research methodology The study primarily employs a survey questionnaire to find answers for the research questions and is conducted mainly with the descriptive - quantitative method Data is collected through pre - task survey questionnaires and post – task survey questionnaires delivered to 170 students at SDU Besides, informal interviews with students are carried out to collect more information (LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university Scope of the study Due to the limitation of time and scale of a minor thesis, it is impossible to cover every aspect of language theory and practice in this study Thus, the study focuses on examining the use of simulation tasks to improve ESP vocabulary for the second year students at AETD, SDU Last but not least, the term “ESP vocabulary” is restricted to “vocabulary in English for Automotive Engineering” Design of the study The study is designed with parts Part A: “Introduction” presents the rationale for study, aims of the study, the scope of the study, methods as well as research questions Part B: “ Development” consists of three chapters Chapter one “Literature review” displays the theoretical background of the research related to vocabulary theory (definition, classification, roles) and simulation tasks (definition, characteristics, advantages) and the discussion of simulation tasks in ESP vocabulary teaching Chapter two “Research Methodology” presents the methodology performed in the study: subjects of the study, the data collection method, instruments as well as process of data collection and data analysis Chapter three “Data analysis and findings” deals with documentation, data analysis This focuses on presenting, analyzing and discussing the results obtained from the study based on the pre – task survey questionnaire, the post – task survey questionnaire ,interviews Part C: “Recommendations and conclusion” summarizes the findings, implication, recommendations and future directions for further research (LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university(LUAN.van.THAC.si).using.simulation.tasks.to.improve.ESP.vocabulary.for.the.second.year.students.of.automotive.engineering.technology.department.at.sao.do.university III Appendix 2: CÂU HỎI ĐIỀU TRA DÀNH CHO SINH VIÊN (Trước sử dụng nhiệm vụ mô phỏng) Những câu hỏi sau nhằm phục vụ cho Đề tài nghiên cứu “Sử dụng nhiệm vụ mô để nâng cao vốn từ vựng tiếng Anh chuyên ngành (TACN) cho sinh viên năm thứ hai Khoa Công nghệ kỹ thuật ô tô, trường Đại học Sao Đỏ.” Xin em vui lòng trả lời câu hỏi sau theo suy nghĩ Chân thành cảm ơn cộng tác em!
