ABSTRACT This study was conducted at Vietnam Maritime University with a view to exploring test-taking strategies relative to learners’ performance in TOEIC Reading Comprehension as well as identifying differences in reading strategies among high proficiency and low proficiency students at Vietnam Maritime University The subjects involved in the study are over 100 students of Vietnam Maritime University (VMU) chosen randomly from TOEIC classes Two classes are at Elementary Level (TOEIC Level 1), the other classes are at Intermediate Level (TOEIC Level 2) The data was collected from survey questionnaires, interviews and administration of two TOEIC tests for students The results indicated that students at VMU put more emphasis on using reading strategies when they attended the TOEIC course In addition, this study also revealed some differences in reading strategy use among students of different proficiency levels However, when looking at the data, the researcher found some shared strategies between the two groups From the findings, the study suggested several pedagogical implications for teachers, students and test-designers at VMU, acknowledged limitations of the study and offered suggestions for further research iii

PART I: INTRODUCTION Rationale for the study In the age of economic growth and global integration, English obviously plays a very important role However, the criteria for evaluating one’s English competence are more and more difficult In today’s context, the A, B, C certificates used for people wishing to find a job are out-of- date, and the so-called IELTS, TOEFL or TOEIC have been the best choices TOEIC, together with other requirements for job seekers, is preferred by most companies in order to assess their employees’ qualifications Therefore, a lot of people are trying hard to achieve the success in a TOEIC Test In addition, being a lecturer of English at VMU, through my teaching experience, I have found out that my students are always afraid of reading as compared to other skills Students find reading difficult and stressful, and unfortunately, they have to sit for a TOEIC- based test which includes Reading and Listening comprehension for the final examination Therefore, many of the students get an awful results because of low scores in English subject in which reading is always a target of blaming Previously, although much literature has been devoted to TOEIC related topics; little was revealed about the cognitive processes underlying the performance of Vietnamese candidates in the TOEIC Reading Test, except for the exploratory study by Phạm Đức Long (2013) on “teaching and learning of TOEIC reading comprehension skill” For all of the reasons stated, this paper is among the first attempts putting the emphasis onto “test-taking techniques for TOEIC Reading Comprehension to students at Vietnam Maritime University” so as being help to solve out their problems

Research aims and research questions The original aim of this study is to gain an insight into how test-takers employ different reading strategies in TOEIC Reading comprehension As the first attempt to explore the ongoing thinking processes during performing reading tasks, once finished the paper could serve as a useful source for TOEIC candidates who are planning to sit for the test as well as TOEIC trainers who want to have a closer look at how their trainees would actually perform in the real test for better TOEIC preparation instruction To achieve this aim, the following research questions will be addressed: 1) Which test-taking techniques became more effective for TOEIC Reading Comprehension test to the students at Vietnam Maritime University? 2) What are differences in reading strategies among high proficiency and low proficiency students at Vietnam Maritime University? Scope of study This study aimed to document the test-taking techniques of 100 students who are taking TOEIC preparation course at Vietnam Maritime University in Haiphong 50 students are at Elementary level, 50 students are at Intermediate level Investigating the “test-taking techniques for TOEIC Reading Comprehension test to students at Vietnam Maritime University”, this study is expected to make certain contributions to the related populations including students taking TOEIC test, teachers teaching TOEIC, and researchers of the same subjects Significance of study First of all, through the problems pointed out and the suggestions made, the students may improve their performance in reading TOEIC test Similar to the students, the study would help TOEIC teachers to realize their problems in guiding their students in sitting for a test in order to achieve the best (LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.on.test.taking.techniques.for.TOEIC.reading.comprehension.test.by.students.at.vietnam.maritime.university.m.a.thesis.linguistics(LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.on.test.taking.techniques.for.TOEIC.reading.comprehension.test.by.students.at.vietnam.maritime.university.m.a.thesis.linguistics(LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.on.test.taking.techniques.for.TOEIC.reading.comprehension.test.by.students.at.vietnam.maritime.university.m.a.thesis.linguistics(LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.on.test.taking.techniques.for.TOEIC.reading.comprehension.test.by.students.at.vietnam.maritime.university.m.a.thesis.linguistics TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.on.test.taking.techniques.for.TOEIC.reading.comprehension.test.by.students.at.vietnam.maritime.university.m.a.thesis.linguistics(LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.on.test.taking.techniques.for.TOEIC.reading.comprehension.test.by.students.at.vietnam.maritime.university.m.a.thesis.linguistics(LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.on.test.taking.techniques.for.TOEIC.reading.comprehension.test.by.students.at.vietnam.maritime.university.m.a.thesis.linguistics(LUAN.van.THAC.si).a.study.on.test.taking.techniques.for.TOEIC.reading.comprehension.test.by.students.at.vietnam.maritime.university.m.a.thesis.linguistics Các em thường sử dụng kĩ đọc đây?
