People often listen to different types of podcasts such as entertainments, academic purposes or obtaining necessary information. As for foreign language learning, vocabulary is of paramount importance since it provides the conversation input without understanding input appropriately, learning simply can not get any improvement.
In addition, without vocabulary, no communication can be achieved. As for that, language learners, especially those who learn English as a foreign language in a non-native setting find it difficult to practice speaking English because the lack of vocabulary. This small project is an attempt to identify problems faced by the second year English majors at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology. This research would concentrate on finding out the difficulties that students face when learning English vocabulary through podcasts and offer the best solutions which help them to get better and succeed in improving vocabulary through podcast.
I hope that my research would bring students some recommendations for their vocabulary.

Suggestions for the further study. 45 APPENDIX APPENDIX 1: STUDENTS’ SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE APPENDIX 1.1: QUESTIONNAIRE FOR STUDENTS (ENGLISH VERSION) APPENDIX 1.2: QUESTIONNAIRE FOR STUDENTS (VIETNAMESE VERSION) APPENDIX 2: SAMPLE PART I: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rationale English is an international as well as the richest language in the world. It has great influence all over the world. It is undoubtedly true that the modern world cannot develop without English.
In our country, we also understand the importance of English. So, all of us should learn English with a rapt attention. Most students have different difficulties in learning English because English is a second-language for us. Some students have difficulties with listening comprehension, while others in trouble with a new huge of vocabularies.
We are one among the students who are having trouble and difficulties with learning English vocabularies. Meanwhile, when those problems happens we also have the resolution to handle it by using technology. Technology is an increasing part of the social and academic lives of students in recent years. The term 'podcast' is the combination of the popular brand name of ('iPod') and 'broadcast'.
Podcast is a modern digital technology that can be used effectively for language learning purposes (Evans, 2007). A podcast is a series of audio files on web which can be freely downloaded to a computer (Cochran, 2005). The effective ways of using this new technology in and out of the classroom should be examined in order to see its impact on language learning. Regarding learning benefits of podcasts, it seems that this new technology can have a positive effect on vocabulary learning of language learners.
In the past, vocabulary teaching and learning were often given little priority in second language programs, but recently the status of vocabulary seems to be changing. Regarding the importance of vocabulary, Cook (2008) mentioned that we all know people need a large number of words to speak a language and vocabulary is a core component of language proficiency and provides much of the basis for how well learners speak, listen, read, and write. Podcasting is one of the powerful, emergent technological media that has been used in education for many years. Language learning has been recognized as one of the fields about to get help from the rapid development in podcasting.
Research studies on 1 podcasting have already acknowledged its potentiality and have documented many evidences that podcasts can greatly help develop learners’ language skills. All these above reasons have inspired I to do research on the effects of podcasts on learning English vocabularies for the sophomores at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology.2 Aims of the study This research explores how using podcasts can help students study English vocabulary effectively. It also aims to find out problems faced by students while learning vocabulary by using podcasts as well as to provide some recommendations for improvement.3 Methods of the study The study will be conducted using qualitative method.
