ABSTRACT This study aims at investigating the impact of interactive processing on second-year students’ listening skills at Hanoi University of Industry More specifically, the researcher strives to (1) investigate problems that the students may encounter while learning listening, and (2) examine the effects of applying the interactive process in teaching listening to the second-year students To achieve the above mentioned objectives, an action research is conducted with the participation of 42 second-year students of class E6.1_K9 within twelve weeks A pre-test, a post-test and two questionnaires are used as instruments to collect data for analysis The findings show that there are six problems that cause difficulties to students in listening They are (i) lacking of vocabulary, (ii) structures of spoken language, (iii) speech rate, (iv) various and unfamiliar accents, (v) stress and intonation, (vi) lacking of background knowledge about the topic After interactive processing has been applied, the students’ scores in the post-test are higher than in the pre-test Overall, the instruction of interactive processing improves their listening skills iii

PART I: INTRODUCTION Statement of the problem Recently, listening has gained more and more attention in foreign language learning In learning English as a foreign language, it is suggested that the most important step should begin with an effort to listen Rubin & Thompson state: Listening, quite possibly, is the most important of the language skills, since people spend approximately 60% of their time listening… In addition, listening will give you an opportunity to get a “feel” for the language and will have you improve your overall ability in it If you don’t learn to listen effectively, you will not be able to participate in conservations in the foreign language Rubin & Thompson (1994, p 85) Rost (1994, p 141) emphasizes that listening can be regarded as a necessary skill in the preparation of foreign language students and can even be considered as a good predictor of language achievement Consequently, listening plays a vital role in foreign language learning At present, listening is incorporated in all English syllabuses used at all levels of Vietnamese education However, there was a long time when most English textbooks in Vietnam paid attention to grammar, translation and reading materials, it was almost impossible to find anything related to teaching listening skills As a result, listening is considered to be the most challenging skill in teaching and learning compared to the other skills Being a teacher of English at Hanoi University of Industry for more than two years, the writer has found that the non-English major students are uninterested in listening lessons They are unwilling to any listening tasks and perform poorly in the listening tests The question arises here is to find out the suitable approach to help the students develop their listening skills (LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Action.research.on.applying.the.interactive.approach.to.develop.listening.skills.for.second.year.non.english.major.students.at.Hanoi.University.of.Industry(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Action.research.on.applying.the.interactive.approach.to.develop.listening.skills.for.second.year.non.english.major.students.at.Hanoi.University.of.Industry(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Action.research.on.applying.the.interactive.approach.to.develop.listening.skills.for.second.year.non.english.major.students.at.Hanoi.University.of.Industry(LUAN.VAN.THAC.SI).Action.research.on.applying.the.interactive.approach.to.develop.listening.skills.for.second.year.non.english.major.students.at.Hanoi.University.of.Industry

Next, teachers should provide necessary clues such as contextual information of the speakers of the relationship among speakers, etc to help learners to cope with their problems they come across in the process of listening While-listening is not only a stage to encourage listeners to demonstrate their comprehension and to make their problems plain to the teacher rather than hide them, but also a stage for teachers to teach and help learners build up their listening skills and strategies so as to increase listeners’ chances of success in listening tasks 2.3.3 Post-listening Post-listening is a part that is often neglected by many teachers Actually, there are a lot of things to after listening Activities such as problem solving, summarizing, group discussion and writing as follow-up are necessary Instead of spending time examining the grammar of the listening text, we take post-listening as a means of reinforcing recently learned materials If necessary, the teacher can play the while text again and ask the students to compare their understanding of it in pairs or in groups, encourage them to disagree with each other, and increase their motivation for a second listening After playing the text for the second time, students can revise their views Instead of telling them who is right and who is wrong, the teacher can ask students to provide evidence to support their views In this way, listening becomes a much more interactive activity We can also take the chance to let students practise speaking and writing First they can have discussion and presentation, which at the same time can serve as a prewriting activity After sharing ideas, they can write something related to the passage At the end of the stage, teachers should make sure that necessary feedbacks to learners’ performance are offered and received Learners’ problems are summarized and tackled by reviewing the difficult parts, and newly taught skills and strategies will be reinforced by encouraging learners to apply them in their out-of-class listening practice Limitations of the study Due to the limitation of length and time constraints, this work remains some certain limitations 42

First of all, only one cycle is conducted in the study because of time constraints, whereas, another cycle could be done to improve the students’ listening skills based on feedbacks from collected data Secondly, the interactive process is only experimented in one group for only one term which may not be enough for the investigator to have better judgments Studies of using the process to improve listening skills for different groups of students at Hanoi University of Industry should be done Finally, the subjects for the study are 42 students of group E6.1_K9, so they may not exactly represent all second-year non-English major students at Hanoi University of Industry Thus, it will be better if the study is experimented with more students involved Suggestions for further studies The limitations and scope of the study leave the gaps for other studies in the field of teaching listening to fill in First, the study is carried out with the second-year nonEnglish major students whose level of English proficiency is rather low; therefore, the interactive approach can be applied to teach English major students Second, the study would be more reliable if two equal student groups were chosen as participants Of which only one group is applied the interactive approach The comparison of these two groups will show exactly how much effectiveness the approach brings Finally, studies on three other skills (reading, speaking, and writing) should be carried out in the near future for better English teaching and learning at Hanoi University of Industry It is because language is used as a means of communication, students should be encouraged to develop all four skills which are closely related to one another 43
