M.A. Thesis English Teaching Methodology -- University of Languages and International Studies. Vietnam National University, Hanoi, 2012
It has been acknowledged that pronunciation is an essential part of language learning. As for English, the international language, this aspect is even more important because without it, people would meet a lot of difficulties in communicating with each other. However, to the best knowledge of the researcher, Vietnamese EFL learners do not have high competence of English pronunciation. This is also true for those who wish to work in Economic field of English in the future. In the researcher’s experience, this problem comes largely from the fact that these learners lack of practice tasks from their teachers of English regarding different pronunciation aspects. This has urged the researcher to carry out the present study, aiming at finding answers to three research questions: (1)What are the students’ most common problems regarding English consonant sounds? (2)What are the possible reasons that lead to students’ weak pronunciation of English? (3) How can focused tasks improve students’ English pronunciation?. In order to address these questions, the researcher used an action research, with the employment of a number of different instruments to yield proper results. The research was carried out with a group of 30 students at the Economic Department, Hai Phong University. By describing and interpreting the data collected, the researchers managed to identify a number of pronunciation problems that most students have regarding English sounds, find out reasons for the students’ weak pronunciation of English, and justify the effectiveness of using focused tasks to improve the students’ pronunciation. Based on the literature review and the findings, the research provided implications for the teaching of English pronunciation for Vietnamese students, especially for those at the Economic Department, Hai Phong University. Suggestions for further research were also recommended thoroughly. With detailed investigations and valid findings, the researcher believes that this study is a reliable and useful source of reference for firstly, language classes under the same conditions as the one in the experimental research; and more importantly, for any Vietnamese EFL learners and teachers who share the same concern
