CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the background information, and states the problems and reasons for the study It also outlines the overall purpose and objectives of the study, describes the significance of the study, poses the research questions to be answered and provides an overview of the research design 1.1 Rationale of the study Today, English is the global means of communication It is now an official language in more than 75 countries, with a total population of over billion speakers Three quarters of the world‟s mail are in English and 80% of the world‟s electrically stored information is also currently in English (Crystal, 1997) English is the working language of the Asian trade group ASEAN and the official language of the European Central Bank (Wallraff, 2000) Briefly, with the spread of globalization and the rapid expansion of information technologies has come an explosion in the demand for English worldwide Unexceptionally, in Vietnam, English is considered the key to success in modern life The number of English learners has been increasing rapidly in the last few decades To meet the demand, a great deal of schools and centers with special English teaching and learning programs have been set up everywhere, especially in big cities Vietnam Australia SchoolHanoi (VAS), a private high school which is located in My Dinh, Hanoi, is one example Established in 2007, VAS is to offer an ideal environment for learning English It cooperates with PLC, a famous school in Australia in curriculum and education programs Students in VAS have to follow the English syllabus of Vietnam carried out by Vietnamese teachers Besides they have global English and global commerce classes with Australian teachers, hence, there are many chances for them to practice and improve English in real life conversations with native speaking people All of the parents hope that their children can have the best learning conditions, especially the best English learning environment so that their children will be able to go on studying overseas or to have the best preparation for their future However, one of the challenges facing English teachers of VAS, including the author of this study, is composing extra materials In VAS, students have five to six periods a week TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com

with Vietnamese teachers, which is twice as much as other ordinary schools Therefore, besides the textbooks, extra materials are needed Normally, many teachers select or compose more written practice tests to drill what students have learned in the textbook However, this type of materials does seem to have attracted much interest Sometimes, extra written practice tests are blamed for a boring atmosphere in many classes Thus, there should be variations so that students feel more interested in learning In VAS, a number of sources of teaching materials such as poems, short stories, drama, films, English songs, etc have been exploited now and then Among these, using short stories as teaching supplementary materials has been taken into consideration for some following reasons Firstly, short stories can be seen as an interesting and suitable source of teaching materials As reading texts, short stories can serve the language skill drilling function quite well More importantly, short stories in particular and literary texts in general are favorable for students‟ language and cultural development and personal involvement Since literature enables students to understand and appreciate other cultures and societies, it encourages personal growth and intellectual development According to Ibsen‟s view (1990), literary texts appeal to students in term of emotion and personal experience because each student will meet the text in his/her own way based on experiences and knowledge of literature and life This creates meaningful and interesting discussions among students and draws on personal responses form learners In other words, learners become more personally involved in the process of language learning and can begin to own the language they learn more fully It also retains a good learning climate in a relaxing atmosphere Moreover, in comparison with other sources of teaching materials such as written practice exercises, poems, films, English songs, short stories are believed to have several advantages Written practice exercises as mentioned above not always interest students Poems seem rather complex and abstract for schoolchildren Not every available English song and film which suits the taste of students can serve the language skill drilling function properly Whereas, there is a variety of short stories to choose, ranging from elementary to proficiency levels Relatively short, fun, memorable and meaningful short stories are not too difficult in terms of vocabulary, grammatical structures and syntax Furthermore, they can TIEU LUAN MOI download :

bring about room for endless debate where students can live in the real human experience world Above language, they can learn many useful lessons about real life to develop their personalities In Vietnam- Australia school, Hanoi, short stories are mostly used as supplementary material for teaching by Australian teachers and sometimes applied by Vietnamese teachers However, there has been no official research on using them in teaching English This study has been conducted with the purpose to investigate how other teachers and students think about the use of short stories in teaching English and to what extents they have employed them in their teaching All these above explain why the author tries to the research It is hoped to result in useful ideas of using short stories in language classroom, especially in the context of Vietnam Australia School, Hanoi 1.2 Aims of the study Parallel with the reasons leading to the research are some following aims: - To investigate the perception of students towards the use of short stories - To study on the current use of short stories by teachers in Vietnam Australia School, Hanoi - To discuss some suggestions of using short stories in classroom such as selecting materials and using these materials in a way that is relevant to the students This study seeks the answers to the following questions How teachers percieve the use of short stories in teaching English in terms of necessity? How students percieve short stories as a source of language input in terms of interest and importance? How teachers exploit short stories in teaching English in terms of purpose, strategy and frequency? To what extent teachers feel satisfied with their use of short stories in teaching English?

What are the obstacles that challenge students in learning English with short stories? What are the recomendations for using short stories in teaching English given by students and teachers? 1.3 Scope of the study In this study, the author intends to deal with the question of using short stories beneficially in language teaching Other literary texts are not concerned in the study The study was conducted in VAS with the participation of 10 teachers, both Vietnamese and Australian, and 100 senior high school students, who were chosen randomly from the alphabetical list of names The number of the teacher participants made up threefourths and the students participants accounted for five-sixths of the whole population However, the focus of the researcher was not put into junior high school students, so the implication might be not applicable in classes of junior high school students 1.4 Research methods Data collection for analysis in the study are mainly gained through survey questionnaires and interviews The questionaires aim at studying the students‟ and the teachers‟ attitude towards using short stories in classroom and their feedbacks after having lessons with short stories Meanwhile, semi-structured interviews were conducted among the teachers to triangulate the data collected from the questionnaires and to gather further information After that, the data collected were collectively analyzed to address the research questions Tables, charts and diagrams were used for clearer presentation and comparison 1.5 Significance of the study By looking into the perception of the use of short stories in English classes, the satisfaction of both teachers and students with their achievements and improvement in teaching and learning process, and the obstacles facing them, the study brings about an overall picture of the exploitation of short stories in VAS It is hoped to raise the awareness of TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com

I APPENDIX SOME SHORT STORIES USED IN THE STUDY THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON As the two women came to King Solomon to plead their case, one of them spoke first “I plead with you, Sire, to hear what I have to say!” “Speak!’” said the King “What is your problem?” She pointed to another woman who was standing near her with a tiny baby in her arms “Sire, this woman and I live in the same house About two weeks ago I gave birth to a son She helped me She and I were the only ones there.” As she spoke, tears came to her eyes “Go on, my daughter,” said the King “Three days later, my lord, this woman also had a baby And it, too, was a son I helped her give birth There were still only two of us in the house.” Tears streamed from her eyes as she continued “A few days later, her baby died in the night because she accidentally lay on it as she slept And then she took my son from my bed while I was sleeping and put her dead child beside me.” She continued to weep as she spoke “When I got up in the morning to nurse my son, I found that it was dead; but when I examined it, I discovered that it was not my child.” “That’s not the way it was!” the other woman interrupted “That’s not the way it was at all! She’s just making up an emotional story for you, Sire, and she has produced some tears to go with it! This is my son; the dead child is hers!” “You’re lying!” said the first woman “And you know it! The living son is mine and the other is hers!” “Oh no it isn’t!” said the other woman, as she held the child close to her “It’s the other way around! This is my son!” And in this way they argued back and forth in front of the King Solomon had listened and observed carefully and it seemed as though he had made up his mind However, he asked 13 the woman to lay the child down in front of him He looked intently at the child and then at each of the women as though he was trying to determine by appearance whose child it was Then, to the great surprise of all who heard, King Solomon said, “Bring me a sword.” One of his guards came with a sword in his hands “Divide the child in two parts!” he said coldly “Give half to one and half to the other!” TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Using.short.stories.in.teaching.English.in.the.context.of.Vietnam.Australia.School.Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Using.short.stories.in.teaching.English.in.the.context.of.Vietnam.Australia.School.Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Using.short.stories.in.teaching.English.in.the.context.of.Vietnam.Australia.School.Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Using.short.stories.in.teaching.English.in.the.context.of.Vietnam.Australia.School.Hanoi (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Using.short.stories.in.teaching.English.in.the.context.of.Vietnam.Australia.School.Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Using.short.stories.in.teaching.English.in.the.context.of.Vietnam.Australia.School.Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Using.short.stories.in.teaching.English.in.the.context.of.Vietnam.Australia.School.Hanoi(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Using.short.stories.in.teaching.English.in.the.context.of.Vietnam.Australia.School.Hanoi II As the guard raised the sword to obey the King, the first woman cried out, “Don’t kill the child, my lord! Please don’t it! Let him live and give him to her.” The other woman, however, thought Solomon’s idea was a good one “Cut it in two!” she shouted “Then neither one of us will have it!” Then the King raised his hand and spoke “Don’t kill the child!
