Hanoi, 2017 Signature Trầ n Thi Hiề ̣ n i LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest thanks to my beloved supervisor Ms. Hoang Thi Hanh, PhD. for the invaluable support, guidance, and timely encouragement she gave me while I was doing this research. I am truly grateful to her for her advice, suggestions and useful materials right from the beginning when this study was only in its formative stage. I would also like to send my sincere thanks to my colleagues at the Foreign Language Department, Thai Binh Teacher Training College, especially Ms. Ha Thi Lan – the Dean and Ms. Ha Thu Nguyet – the Vice Dean, for their helps and advice when I do this work. Additional thanks go to the students who actively participated in this study and willingly shared their experiences with me. Special thanks go to all the lecturers who taught me throughout the MA Program, whose lectures were useful for my thesis and sources of my professional development. Last, but by no means least, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the members of my family: my parents, my husband, my sons and my elder brothers as well as my sisters-in-law who have constantly supported, inspired and encouraged me to accomplish the thesis. ii LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ABSTRACT This action research examines the effectiveness of using subtitled/captioned videos in teaching listening skill to elementary students and explores the students‟ attitudes towards this kind of listening activity. The study was conducted at Thai Binh Teacher Training College in 2016 within nine weeks. Ten first-year students in one class were involved in the study. Different data sources, viz. pre-tests, post-tests, progress tests, journal writing; and interviews were analyzed in triangulation with one another. The findings reveal that using subtitled/captioned videos potentially has positive effects on listening in terms of listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, especially of the students who took notes while watching videos, and fostering students‟ interests and motivation. However, sometimes subtitles/captions make students feel distracted because they had to watch the videos, listen to the sound and read the subtitles at the same time. Accordingly, implications for appropriate video selection, and process and procedure of using videos with subtitles are proposed. iii LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION . iii TABLE OF CONTENTS . iv LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS . vi LIST OF FIGURES, TABLES AND CHARTS . vii PART A: INTRODUCTION.

Rationale of the study Along with other skills, listening has been of great importance as Brett (1997, p. 39) stated that „listening is a key language skill, it has a vital role in the language acquisition process‟. Listening is an efficient channel to provide comprehensible input for students, consequently, improving listening ability helps to widen students‟ input. However, listening seems to get less attention by a number of learners as they suppose that listening is the most difficult skill among four skills. At Thai Binh Teacher Training College (TBTTC), listening is a great challenge for many first year students, even the English majored students. Almost all students at TBTTC graduated from high schools in rural areas of Thai Binh province where they rarely had opportunities to learn and practice English generally and listening skills particularly. As a result, they not only lack necessary strategies to fulfill the listening tasks but also have difficulties in catching the meaning from the tape because of lacking vocabulary and having troubles with pronunciation. That they have numerous challenges in listening makes them be frustrated and no longer want to learn it worsens their learning listening. Therefore, it is essential to create and maintain the students‟ interest in the lessons and avoid boredom in learning listening. Thus, in order to support students‟ input as well as motivate them in learning listening then improve their language acquisition, it is essential for teachers to find out an effective method of teaching listening. When studying and doing research, I realized that using multimedia (subtitled or captioned videos) may help me to give much more support for my students and help 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com them initially have feeling of desiring to listen and being capable of listening to English. The above reasons have encouraged me to carry out the study entitled: „An investigation into the effectiveness of using videos with subtitles in teaching listening skill to the first-year English majored students at Thai Binh Teacher Training College’. Aims of the study The study is intended to investigate the effectiveness of using multimedia (subtitled or captioned videos) in teaching listening skill to English majored students of elementary level. In order to gain this aim, the study seeks to answer the following questions: - Question 1: To what extent does using videos with subtitles (captions) improve first-year English majored students‟ listening skill? - Question 2: What are the students‟ attitudes towards the teacher‟s using videos with subtitles (captions) in teaching listening skill? 3. Scope of the study This minor thesis was conducted in Thai Binh Teacher Training College in order to investigate the effectiveness of using videos with subtitles in teaching listening skills to the first-year English majored students. Method of the study 4. Methodology Action research design is used since it deals the problem occurring in listening lessons that I have been undertaking in my own classroom and I would like to improve my students‟ listening, give them more support in listening so that they can use them as a scaffold helping them have feeling of enjoyment in listening process and having capability to listen to English. It is a practical action research one because as pointed out by Koshy (2005, p. 10), 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com its purpose is to research a specific situation with a view toward improving practice, to focus on small-scale research project, to focus narrowly on a specific problem and to be taken by individual teacher within a classroom at a college. Data collection instruments Students‟ journals: This instrument allows the researcher to collect the students‟ point of view about teaching listening. Interviews: The main purpose of this data collection instrument is to make sure that the information collected from the students‟ journals has its validity and reliability, which helps trigger insights about the teaching. Pre-test and Post-test: Through these two tests, the researcher can find the difference in the students‟ listening comprehension, compare the results before and after the time of doing an action plan. Listening progress test: This test is taken weekly and the scores were recorded to see whether the students‟ listening comprehension would be improved week by week or not. Significance of the study The findings of the study are believed to be useful for me, a teacher working at FLD, TBTTC to be aware of the essential role of videos with subtitles to the students‟ comprehension in listening lessons since the research area is completely new to me. Organization of the study The study is designed with three parts as follow: Part A. Introduction, introduces the rationale of choosing the topic, the aims of the study, the scope of the study, the methodology, the significance and the organization of the study. 3 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail. Development, is divided into three chapters: Chapter 1. Literature review; provides basic concepts of listening, listening comprehension process, multimedia language learning, input from visual and auditory modalities; and using subtitled/captioned videos in teaching listening. Methodology; presents the methodology used in the study including the participants, the settings, instrumentation, procedure, data collection and data analysis. Results and Discussion; reports and discusses the major findings. Conclusion; summarizes what is addressed in the study, points out the limitations, draws pedagogical implications and provides some suggestions for further study. 4 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com PART B: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW 1. Listening and listening comprehension process For years, while speaking and writing were thought of as active skills, listening and reading were passive ones. However, as mentioned above, after the IAAL Conference, listening received much more attention and was assessed differently.
