Hanoi, 2015 Phùng Thị Phương Lan i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I wish to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Phạm Thị Thanh Thùy,whoseinsightful comments, criticism, direction and kind support were of great assistance to me in carrying out this study. My sincere thanks also go to all the lecturers and staff of the Faculty of Post- Graduate Studies, Hanoi University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, for their valuable knowledge and invaluable guidance and help during my two years of study at the Faculty. I am also indebted to my colleagues as well as my students at the Border Guard Academy, who have helped me a lot in my data collection to fulfill this paper. Last but not least, I would like to express my appreciation to my family for their understanding and strong encouragement to me throughout the study. Phùng Thị Phương Lan ii ABSTRACT Drawing on the model L2 Motivational Self System by Dörnyei (2005), this study explores the importance of the learner ideal self to the success in studying English of the learners at the Border Guard Academy using survey research methodology. The participants are 100 freshmen in the Border Guard Academy, Sontay, Hanoi, where I am working. Two data collection instruments are employed: questionnaires and individual open-ended interviews. The findings show that the learner ideal self is the key to success in English studying of the learners at the Border Guard Academy. Despite the existence of ideal self in the students’ mind, the number of students with ideal self is still humble, which accounts for the border officers’ inefficiency in solving English using cases. The study puts forward practical suggestions to all the academy, the teachers of English and the students with a view to improving English teaching and learning at the academy. The most important proposal is disseminating the role of the learner ideal self to their own success in English studying and the demand for buiding up, maintaining and motivating the ideal selffor the learners at the Border Guard Academy. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Table 1: Students’ reasons for studying English Error: Reference source not found vi Table 2: Factors affecting students’ motivation in English studying Error: Reference source not found .vi Table 3: Students’ studying English Error: Reference source not found vi Table 4: Students’attitude when reaching a goal in English studying Error: Reference source not found .vi Table 5: Students’attitude when failing to reach a goal in English studying Error: Reference source not found .vi Table 6: the students’ English results after the first year at the BGA Error: Reference source not found .vi PART A: INTRODUCTION 1.

Interviews through emails 1. Intervewee First of all, English has become an international language. Since childhood, I have always dreamed of attending the international conferences, at which all the experts speak English. To understand them, I have no alternative but to study English. The second reason is that I want to upgrade my knowledge through learning English because most of the knowledge of the human beings is in English. The last reason is that English helps me to get on well with people in the world easier. As a border guard, I sometimes have chances to communicate with foreigners at the border gates. Imagine how would I carry out my work without English. I not only enthusiastically participate in all learning and teaching activities but also spend a lot of time practising English skills by myself. I realize the enormous significance of the internet to my English study. I learn a lot from the interesting programs designed and supplied by the experts in English. Only with a computer connected to the internet, I experience the satisfaction of widening my eyes with numerous knowledge of English. Each English lesson is a new land that I desire to explore. Can you imagine my happiness every time I finish one lesson and discover something new to me? I think that a student successful in English must both get the high score in the English exams and use English accurately and fluently. I have got 6.0 for ielts and then my target is getting 6.5, at which point I stand the good chance of going abroad for my further study. With the goal set up, I have a firm faith in my success and I feel proud of having gained good score for my English examinations at BGA. 2. Interviewee X I will mainly work with ethnic people, so I see no point of learning English. At the border, we can use sign language with foreigners. I find it difficult to communicate in English, so I never use it, even in English class. I only study English in the class under the instruction and supervision of the teacher. I never study it by myself. I think a successful learner of English is one that can communicate in daily English.That’s enough. All that I want to with English is I can pass the final exam because I don’t want to learn it again. In fact, I got points,4 points and points for my English writing,reading and listening midterm tests. For speaking, I can speak nothing except my name and hometown. I am looking forward to my classmates’ assistance for my next final exams. I have no care for high scores. 3. Interviewee As for me, English is not only an efficient tool for their job but also a bridge connecting me to an enormous source of knowledge in the world. It is my realization of the importance of English that leads me to decide to invest in it. In addition to English lessons in the class with the teacher, I spend a lot of time selfstudying. I have exploited the advanced technology such as the internet and softwares of English to study English in the most effective and interesting way. My short-term goals are to get high scores in the forthcoming final exams, and my longterm ones are to acquire a good knowledge of English and the ability to communicate well with foreigners in English. I propose that a successful English learners necessarily have a good knowledge of English and use it correctly. However, I find no reason for a successful English learners getting low scores in the exams. I consider successfully reaching a goal as an impetus to their endeavors for higher goals. 4. Interviewee XI I study English because it is a requirement in the curricula. I not want to major in it. What I want is being able to communicate in daily English. English is not really necessary for my job because we work with neighboring countries and ethnic people, all of whom not speak English. I follow the teacher in the class but I rarely spend time on English at home. I only want to be an ordinary soldier. I have no goals for my English. All that I want is points for my final examination. I have no feeling of sadness or happiness whether I pass or fail. As for me, a successful English learner did not necessarily gain high score in the exams. Instead, he or she just needs to communicate well in daily English. 5. Interviewee I have a phobia about studying English. Given a choice between learning English and walking from the north to the south, I prefer the latter. I never think that I have aptitute for English. Therefore, I am always pessimistic about my chance of success in learning English. Besides that, I have some doubts about the significance of English to my job. I not understand why I have to study English. I only want to become a soldier working in the frontier areas. I think all that I need is the strength of body, martial arts, tactics, the ability to use guns and the basic knowledge of ethnic people and the army. Studying English in the class is enough. Outside the class, I have many other things to do. During English lessons, I only take note of what the teacher write on the board. In fact, I only can follow the teacher during the first lessons when the knowledge is easy. However, gradually, I have been left behind because I understand nothing. I only wish that God would help me in the final examination. 6. Interviewee “all fields require certified proficiency in English.” English is the language that people all over the world use. I always wish to have a chance to go to other XII XII countries to have a better comprehension of people in the world. Moreover, I cannot my work efficiently if my English is poor because at the border gate, I usually communicate with foreigners. On behalf of the Vietnamese people, I not want to be looked down on just because my English is not good enough to make myself and my instruction understood to foreigners. Another important thing is that the more I study English, the more interested I feel, particularly when I am able to make more discoveries about the world through the internet with my English. Besides that, I am also given an impetus to learn English by the Director of BGA’s story when he was working in the border that in a negotiation with the neighboring countries, except the interpreter, noone else knew English, which led to difficulties in the work. Everyday, I spend at least hours studying English. I only study when I feel relaxed and motivated. Fortunately, I always feel stimulated by what English has brought to me. I never consider English studying as a duty, but as an interest. It’s fantastic when putting myself in the situation using English to solve problems. Besides that, my teacher is always an inspiration to my progress. Her comments make me have self-confidence in expressing in English. I not consider marks in the examinations as the criteria to evaluate a successful learner of English. However, according to me, it is incredible that a good English learner who excells at all four skills can not get high scores for the exams. I got points for Ielts by British Council. What goal I set for myself to achieve in the future is the fluency and accuracy in English. I want to say that my vision for my future is the greatest motivation for me to master English. 7. Interviewee At first, when hearing of the requirements for going abroad to study, I intended to give up because 6.5 for ielts is unimaginable to me. Nevertheless, with XIII the encouragement from my teacher of English at the BGA, I had the willpower to realize my ambition. With basic knowledge of English gained from class and XIII instruction from my teachers, I collected a lot of English programs on the internet and English books. I spend at least hours everyday studying English. While doing other tasks, I used my ipod to listen to BBC news. For speaking, I imagined the situations and spoke to myself. Sometimes, my teachers suddenly asked me unavailable questions to check my ability to respond to difficult scenarios. For writing, I not remember exactly how much paper I have used. I set the alarm clock for exactly 60 minutes for writing every day, I got down to writing and tried to finish it on time. My teachers helped me find the mistakes and suggest some more ideas. After months, when I had enough faith in my ability, I made up my mind to take the exam. Unluckily, I only got 5.75 (6.0) for this exam. I was a bit disappointed, but my teachers continued expressing their belief in my competence in English. So during the next months, I tried another three times, for each of which I made a little more progress. I got respectively 6.0; 6.125 (6.0) and 6.5. One more time, I have confidence in myself. A successful learner of English not only gains high scores in the English exams but also be fluent and accurate in all skills. That is the reason why I still spend a lot of time studying English even after reaching my goal. On the way to my success, I went through a number of failures. It was these failures that made me have more honour of myself when I achieved success. II. Interviews face to face (recorded) XIV [...]...
