research reported on demotivation of students in the course of learning ESP, especially in learning English for Accounting The aim of this study was therefore to investigate factors demotivating the second-year Accounting major students to learn ESP at Hanoi College of Technology and Economics (HCTE) A survey questionnaire was carried out by 97 Accounting major students at HCTE Furthermore, in order to back up the validity of the collected data from the questionnaire, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 randomly selected students who had already done the survey questionnaire Other semistructured interviews were also conducted with four teachers who were teaching ESP at HCTE at that time The findings of the study revealed four demotivating factors including: students’ lack of self-confidence due to their experience of failure and lack of specialized background knowledge, teachers’ behaviors, competence and teaching methods, considered as a strongly demotivating factor, the course book and teaching facilities Based on the findings, some solutions were provided to help students to overcome their demotivation in learning ESP It is hoped that the results of this study will be helpful to improve ESP teaching and learning at HCTE iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Declaration i Acknowledgements ii Abstract iii Table of contents iv List of abbreviations vi List of tables vii PART

as the research questions which the study was to carry out to find out the answers It also presents the significance of the study, the scope of the study, an overview of the methods employed to conduct the research, as well as its design Rationale English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is an important area in English language teaching and learning today ESP is also a compulsory subject for students who passed General English (GE) courses at Hanoi College of Technology and Economics (HCTE) Moreover, having a good knowledge of GE and especially ESP is considered to be necessary means for any graduates to get better jobs However, after teaching ESP for several years, especially English for Accounting, I have come to realize that most of the students in HCTE meet the difficulties in learning ESP They seem to lack motivation in learning ESP Moreover, motivation is considered to be one of the most important elements in language learning There are a variety of factors affecting students’ motivation Among these factors are their learning purposes, instructional content or teaching methods… Up to now, many researchers have examined motivation and demotivation in learning GE However, there has been very little research reported on demotivation of students in the course of learning ESP Therefore, the purpose of this study is to ascertain factors that demotivated the second-year Accounting major students to learn ESP at HCTE I hope that the results of the study can help students to overcome their demotivation in learning ESP and help teachers to improve the effectiveness of teaching ESP at HCTE Aims of the study With the above rationale, the study was conducted with the following aims: - To identify factors demotivating the second-year accounting major students to learn ESP at HCTE - To recommend some suggestions for teachers and students at HCTE to get better ESP teaching – learning Research questions In order to achieve the above-mentioned aims, the following research questions were asked in the study: Concerning students’ lack of self-confidence, over half of the teachers supposed that teachers should create a friendly atmosphere for students, so that they can take part in activities in lessons Teachers should establish relationship of mutual trust and respect with the students The last solution given by the teachers is to reduce students’ lack of specialized background knowledge Most teachers thought that all students need enriching their background knowledge They said that students should be taught the specialized subjects before the ESP course In addition, some teachers suggested that students should be provided supplementary materials frequently to develop students’ competence when learning ESP 3.2 Major findings and discussion: In line with the findings of Dörnyei (2001), data analysis revealed four demotivating factors: a Lack of self-confidence b Teachers’ behaviors, competence and teaching methods c The course book used in the class d Teaching facilities The findings showed that both teachers and students affirmed that the biggest source of the students’ demotivation in ESP class is lack of self-confidence This was explained by various reasons Many students in the interview admitted that they felt nervous when being asked by the teacher They often failed to answer their teacher’s questions They were afraid of losing their face in front of their peers and their teacher in ESP class However, this fact was rooted from students’ limited vocabulary, grammar points as well as lack of specialized background knowledge One more demotivating factor identified in this study is teachers’ behaviors, competence and teaching methods However, within the demotivation categories related to teachers, teaching methods were the most prominent The majority of the students complained that their teachers did not organize activities to make the lesson more interesting In addition, it was teachers’ unclear instructions and insufficient explanation that demotivated them in ESP lessons On the other hand, teachers’ lack of caring learners’ need analysis was a strong cause of demotivation As a result, there was the mismatch between teachers’ teaching methods and students’ preference Therefore, as a teacher in 26 the interview said that need analysis was a very important thing in teaching ESP in order to select appropriate teaching methods or materials It is obvious that teaching and learning may not be affective if teaching methods not match students’ learning styles Another demotivating factor found in this study is the course book Most of the students claimed that there were too many specialized words in reading texts and topics in the course were not closer to their major In addition, while they wanted to improve speaking and listening skills to need for their future careers, the course book only focused on reading and writing skills As a result, ESP teachers have not adjusted the course book to meet the demand of the learners The last demotivating factor in the study is teaching facilities Many students said that teaching facilities were insufficient and they did not have a lot of chances to improve their skills Thus, most students expected that each classroom would be equipped with teaching assistance devices such as projectors, video, computers…and their teachers would make use of the available equipment to better their teaching However, both teachers and students can improve teaching facilities themselves in learning ESP 3.3 Pedagogical implications On the basis of the findings, the researcher put forward some solutions which can help teachers and students to improve ESP teaching and learning at HCTE 3.3.1 Improving ESP teachers’ specialized knowledge According to Hutchison and Waters (1987, p.161), ESP teachers should “know something about the subject matters of ESP materials” It is not necessary that ESP teachers should be an expert in the subject matter However, if they have good knowledge, they can perform well in class Besides, ESP teachers can enrich their knowledge by selfreading materials relating to students’ major both in English and Vietnamese or ask their colleagues In addition, the college should encourage the ESP teachers to take part in further training courses 3.3.2 Improving ESP teachers’ behaviors and teaching methods As revealed in the findings, there was the mismatch between teachers’ teaching methods and students’ preference It is undeniable that teaching methods play an important role in learning ESP Thus, ESP teachers should employ various techniques in order to make the lesson more interesting and efficient Moreover, ESP teachers should create a friendly atmosphere for students, so that they can take part in activities effectively in 27 lessons and establish relationship of mutual trust and respect with the students In addition, ESP teachers should frequently provide their students with supplementary materials to develop students’ competence in learning ESP 3.3.3 Helping students to enrich their background knowledge It is necessary to adjust the time of ESP course in the college curriculum All students have not been taught the specialized subjects before the ESP course As a result, they did not have enough specialized background knowledge In addition, ESP teachers should provide their students more chances to enhance their English ability as well as specialized knowledge Besides, ESP teachers should encourage their students to enrich their knowledge by self-reading materials relating to their major and instruct them how to memorize specialized words and phrases 3.3.4 Adapting the current course book The results of the survey questionnaire and the interviews show that it is necessary to narrow some specialized words in some reading texts and reduce the number of reading texts that are not related to students’ major For example, in unit “The balance sheet”, the reading text is too long (about over 300 words) including about over 50 new words for the second-year Accounting major students at HCTE In fact, it is difficult for students to understand the content of the text in this unit because they did not study specialized subjects Furthermore, in order to make it easier and interesting, the ESP teachers as course designers should add other tasks such as multiple choice questions, True- False statements into the reading comprehension part On the other hand, when designing ESP course book, ESP designers should base on learners’ need analysis “Needs analysis is neither unique to language teaching - needs assessment, for example, is the basic of training programs and aid-development programs - nor, within language training, is it unique to LSP and thus to ESP However, needs analysis is the corner stone of ESP ” (Dudley-Evans, & St John, 1998, p 122) Thus, it is necessary for ESP designers to be given enough time and be paid appropriately 3.3.5 Improving the facilities and learning conditions As suggested by the participants in the survey questionnaire and in the interviews, each classroom should be equipped with teaching assistance devices such as projectors, video, computers…When having such devices, ESP teachers should make use of the available equipment to better their teaching 28 Summary This chapter has presented a detailed analysis of the data obtained from the survey questionnaire and the interviews Then, discussions of the findings and solutions were suggested to improve ESP teaching and learning at HCTE 29 PART C: CONCLUSION This is the final part of the thesis with the purposes of summarizing the main issues discussed in the study and showing the limitations and suggestions for further study Conclusions The study aims at identifying the demotivating factors for the second-year Accounting major students in learning ESP at HCTE and find out some possible solutions to overcome their demotivation After the data were collected, analyzed and discussed, the following conclusions were reached In the study, four demotivating factors were found The first one was students’ lack of self-confidence due to their experience of failure and lack of specialized background knowledge The second one is teachers’ behaviors, competence and teaching methods Among of them, teaching methods were considered as the most prominent factor by most students There still existed the gap between the teachers’ perception and the students’ perception of the teachers as a source of demotivation Surprisingly, none of the teachers believed that they were also a demotivator to the students in learning ESP In addition, the study also found that the course book used in teaching English for Accounting considerably demotivated students in learning ESP because both of the students and the teachers agreed that most of the specialized reading texts are difficult for the students’ English ability and specialized background knowledge The last factor that demotivated students was teaching facilities Both teachers and students suggested that the teaching facilities should be enhanced to promote the students’ motivation in learning ESP Furthermore, the study also pointed out some suggestions from the teachers and the students in learning ESP Based on the findings, the expectations from the students and the ideas of the teachers on what should be done to minimize the demotivating factors of their students in learning ESP, five solutions are recommended in the previous part including improving ESP teachers’ specialized knowledge, improving ESP teachers’ behaviors and teaching methods, helping students to enrich their background knowledge, adapting the current course book and improving the facilities and learning conditions Among those, students’ lack of specialized background knowledge, and teacher’s teaching methods should be the most to be focused It is hoped that what has been discussed in this study might have effectiveness to both teachers and students at HCTE in particular and to ESP teachers and ESP learners in 30 general Limitations of the study Even though, the study was carried out carefully and based on reliable data, it still had some limitations In the first place, the study only uses the survey questionnaire and the interviews to investigate demotivating factors of the second-year Accounting-major students in ESP classes at HCTE, so to some extent, the findings may not be generalized to all ESP students at HCTE as well as in other colleges in Vietnam In addition, the study did not show the different levels among demotivating factor categories Suggestions for further study Due to the small scope and limited time, the study only focused on demotivating factors of the second-year Accounting major students in learning ESP at HCTE Therefore, the future researchers can focus on other types of English for specific purposes, other aspects of demotivation in ESP Furthermore, future researchers may specifically evaluate ESP course books in Vietnamese colleges to help students to learn ESP better 31 REFERENCES Deci, E L and Ryan,
