motivation in listening lessons and some suggested solutions by teachers to stimulate students to arouse their interest in listening lessons The study data were collected by means of questionnaire for students and teachers, informal interviews with teachers and class observation The results indicated that four demotivating factors were found in this study: (1) unfavorable teaching and learning

gap between teachers‟ perception and students‟ perception as a source of demotivation The students mostly blamed on unfavorable teaching and learning condition; whereas, teachers thought that it was the students‟ low English proficiency and laziness in learning Some suggestions were provided by the teachers to motivate students in listening lessons TABLE OF CONTENTS Declaration i Acknowledgements

Summary of the chapter This chapter has presented a detailed analysis of the data obtained from the two survey questionnaires, the interview and observation After that, a discussion of the findings with the regard to the research questions has also been provided 45 PART THREE: CONCLUSION Conclusion The study has investigated the demotivating factors in the listening lessons of the second year non English major students at HaUI and solutions suggested by teachers to help students revive their interest in listening lessons After the data were collected, analyzed and discussed, the following conclusions were reached In the first place, four demotivating factors were found in this study: (1) the unfavorable teaching and learning condition, (2) the difficulty of listening section in the coursebook,(3) learner‟s lack of background knowledge and reduced interest and (4) teachers‟ personality and teaching styles However, there still existed the gap between teachers‟ perception and students‟ perception as a source of demotivation The students blamed on teaching and learning condition; whereas, teachers thought that it was the students‟ low English proficiency and laziness in learning In addition, the study also pointed out some suggestions from the teachers to motivate students in listening lessons The solution suggested most was reorganizing the class size so that the students could concentrate on the lessons and did not distract by the noise Furthermore, teachers believed that students‟ motivation in listening lessons would be improved if students became active learners and more hard-working Besides, appropriate teaching techniques as well as material adaptation could be a big source of encouragement for students in learning listening lessons Recommendations 46 On the basis of the findings, the researcher put forward some recommendations which are of great significance to teachers and students Improving the learning and teaching condition From the finding in the previous part, it is obvious that a big class size not only has an adverse impact on students‟ learning, but also on the teachers themselves Many teachers who work in overcrowded classes have low morale and self-esteem Motivation suffers and classroom methods are restricted to little more than lecture The teachers sometimes cannot control or deliver their activities because of a large class size Moreover, an increasing class size will reduce the opportunities for the students to interact with the teachers Therefore, it is necessary for the educating managers at HaUI to consider an appropriate learning and teaching English environment Training students to become active listeners and effective self- learners It is obvious that students will never become good listeners if they are not active in learning listening Students have to make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that the other person is saying but, more importantly, to try and understand the total message being sent The teacher encourages students to avoid negative attitude in learning or depend too much on the teacher‟s lecture Moreover, the teachers should is to train their students to become more effective self-learners by giving them more homework or encouraging them to self-practice listening at home If they can selfstudy effectively, they will be more motivated to learn and to explore further for improving the Listening Comprehension skill Improving teacher‟s classroom techniques Basing on characteristics of different groups of students, the teacher should use 47 appropriate techniques or even in the same class the teacher also has to employ various techniques in different listening comprehension lessons in order to renew the classroom atmosphere and make the class more interesting and efficient However, the three stages of the LC lesson: pre, while and post-listening should be maintained In each stage, various techniques should be employed Besides, some more ways for teachers to improve their teaching technique are to participate in methodology course or take part in “Teaching Competition” Both the course and the competition offer teachers opportunities to expose to other‟s teaching environment so that they will learn some new things to apply in their daily teaching Adapting the listening comprehension of the course book “New Headway –preintermediate” Although the LC part is assessed to be appropriate and useful for skill development objective, it is not completely suitable for Vietnamese learners as it is written for English learners all over the world Thus, to minimize its disadvantages, the LC in the material should be adapted to be more appropriate to our students‟ levels and needs Limitations of the study and suggestions for further study Due to various constraints and scope of the study, the present research displays certain limitations First, this study investigated the demotivating factors for the second year non-English major students at HaUI However, with the limited number of participants, the results of the study may not reliably reflect the teaching context Second, if time was available an interview with student subjects would be conducted to add more validity to the research Third, due to the small scope and limited time, the research only focused on listening skill Therefore, the coming research can focus on the other skills in particular or foreign language learning in general Furthermore, other 48 researcher can focus on more learners at different levels and more teachers to participate in the studies to have more reliable findings and perceptions of the issue REFERENCES Byrnars, H (1984) The Role of Listening Comprehension: A Theoretical Base Foreign Language Annals 17:317-29 Chamber, D N
