THAI NGUYEN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES TRAN THI BINH APPLYING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING SPEAKING SKILLS FOR STUDENTS AT LE HONG PHONG HIGH SCHOOL via PBL (Ứng dụng công nghệ thông tin đề án học tập để dạy kĩ nói học sinh trường THPT Lê Hồng Phong) M.A THESIS Field: English Linguistics Code: 8220202 THAI NGUYEN – 2018 Acknowledgement In completion of my thesis, I have received generous advice and help from many lecturers whose lectures are very practical and useful Firstly, I would like to express my sincere thanks to my supervisors Dr Hoang Thi Ngoc Diem and Dr Nguyen Thi Minh Loan from School of Foreign Languages, Thai Nguyen University for her close guidance, criticism, and her generous help in the process of completing my thesis My special thanks also go to all lecturers and the staff of the Schools of Foreign Languages for their useful materials, guidance and enthusiasm during my course of study I really wish to thank all my colleagues and my students at Le Hong Phong High school for their kind cooperation in giving valuable information Finally, I owe my deep thanks to my dear family, specially my husband, my little children and my friends who always stand for me with their consideration and encouragement Abstract This research was conducted to the eleventh grade students and EFL teachers of Le Hong Phong high school, Pho Yen Town, Thai Nguyen province in academic year 2017-2018 The aim of this research was to find out how well the use of Project-based learning with the help of m-learning in improving students’ speaking skill, the trend in ICT use of the EFL teachers and attitude and motivation in learning foreign language In conducting this research, the writer designed an experimental study that pursues to boost the students’ speaking competences Before drawing the experiment, ten EFL teachers and both groups were carried out questionnaires to measure both the teachers’ trend in use of ICT and attitude and motivation towards learning English The findings of this research showed that there was an improvement on students’ speaking skill through project-based learning with Aurasma app particularly in accuracy and fluency The results of this study suggest that the EFL teachers seemed to be aware of the benefits of ICT to their classroom instruction of the English language They also indicated that their beliefs about ICT benefits had the biggest impact on their ICT use Moreover, the EFL students’ English language competence improved significantly in almost all area of their speaking competence after the implementation of the PBL lesson plan with the help of m-learning The control group only showed improvements in grammar and vocabulary because their curriculum focused mainly on those areas The experimental group showed positive changes in their attitudes and motivation towards learning English after the PBL lesson plan, while control group’s attitudes and motivation remained unchanged The importance of having competence in English is well-recognized However, high school students’ speaking level entails not only the speaking competence but competency in reading, writing and listening as well Therefore, future studies should explore effectiveness of PBL in developing students’ reading, writing and listening skills with the help of m-learning TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION .1 1.1 Rationale

Mobile- learning MoET Ministry of Education and Training PBL Project- Based Learning Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rationale for the study English is one of the most common languages in the world, and the most popular second language of study in Vietnam (Crystal, 2012) A chain of economic reforms in 1986 and 1993 have been creating a flow in the number of people learning English (Tri, 2001) Following Vietnam becoming a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 1995 and the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2006, many foreigners and investors launched business in Vietnam Vietnam has seen rapidly economic development and an explosion in commercial cooperation, technology advancement and culture exchanges with other part of the world This has given a rise to a pressing demand for English proficiency (Le, 2005) The recent development in the country, together with increased globalisation, has created more career opportunities for the Vietnamese people Needless to say the needs of Vietnamese people to use English in their work and daily lives have been dramatically increasing Therefore, teaching and learning English have a vital role in raising the English competence However, Vietnamese students especially in the schools in rural areas have difficulties in learning and practising speaking skill because of limited access to authentic materials, out of date teaching methods and over- sized classes with multi- level Consequently, the so- called “deaf and dumb English” users are ironically referred to many learner generations with in complete English competence (Hoang, 2015) Another reason for the inconsistencies between the numbers of the expected and actual fluent English speakers in the country might be due to the teacher- centred model of teaching and the ways that Vietnamese students study and are evaluated In this model, the focus is on the teacher only, while the students sit quietly and listen as the teacher instructs the whole class The teacher’s responsibility is observed as being the contents delivery, where as the students’ role is swallowing the content (Pratt et al.1999) Furthermore, Vietnamese students believe that learning is memorizing books or information provided by teachers in class (Kennedy, 2002) The teacher is usually the 11 27 72 27 72 26 73 64 35 En 35 71 gli 12 51 48 63 36 50 50 82 17 En 76 post-test
