When taaching at Namdinh College of Education, I find that English major students in our College scem to be bored with the reading texts in the course book and unmotivated in leaming, Moreover, they also find it difficult to express their opinion because they lack vocabulary and background kmowledge of real life. ‘Iherefore, | think that it is necessary to introduce authentic materials to students for extensive reading to improve students” vouabulary learning. This experimental research recruits 40 first year English major siudenls ot NCE. They are then randomly assigned to be an experimental group and a control group (20 students por cach).
During the treatmerl of § weeks, students receive the same course instructions, only one difference is that the students in the experimental group are required to read authentic materials extensively. 1 use pretest, posttest and other two vocabulary middle tests as means to distinguish the difference of vocabulary knowledge between the two groups. After the collection of the tests, the test results are analyzed using SP: 3 version 13. “The study results indicate a strong relationship between authentic materials and students’ vocabulary leaming 1.

The Department of foreign languages at NCE has total 9 teachers who are well qualified.

Whon touching English at this College, T find thal the majored students are facing some problematic issues, Fustly, they arc not provided cnough extra books, newspapers, magazines, and CDs by the library to study outside the class. Yet, they are inactive to take any initiative to locate foreign language resources outside of class or to seek for solutions to the problem, As a result, the language input, they receive is mostly from the class room.
Moreover, during classroom lessons, they seem to be bored with the reading texls in the course book and unmotivated in Icaming, They also find it difficult to cxpress ticir opinion beeause they lack vocabulary and background knowledge of rcal lift. That is because in the lcaning, foreign Ianguage process, vocabulary plays the most vital role in learning a foreign language. As Schmitt (2008) states that to use a second language successfully, leamers need large vocabulary and it is necessary for them to set and pursue high vocabulary targets. ‘I'his means that students should acquire a great number of words and should put them into practice to communicate well in inglish.
