41 CÂU HỎI KHẢO SÁT. Rationale of the study So far, English has been recognized by the whole world as the most common and common language around the globe. In Vietnam, English has also been used regularly to serve people's daily lives. Therefore, learning English is very important and necessary because mastering English is the best and shortest way for us to have a lot of opportunities to achieve our goals in life.
Listening – Speaking – Reading – Writing are four important skills in English. Listening is part of our lives. Listening is the first skill we learn and will also be the first skill to learn when starting a new language. And it's not easy especially for freshmen.
There are many reasons why learners find it difficult to learn to listen, one of the basic reasons is that listening skills are often not focused on the process of learning English from a young age until entering a college or university for language students. First-year foreign language students at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology have many difficulties in listening, leading to poor scores and poor listening skills. Surveys and entrance tests of listening skills are often lower than speaking, reading and writing skills. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of understanding the difficulties in the listening learning process of first-year students majoring in foreign languages, thereby proposing solutions to improve the listening skills of students.
As research, I would like to present the thesis title “A Study on Difficulties and Solutions in Listening Skill of the First Year English Majors at Hai Phong Management and Technology University” for reasons above. Aims of the study This study will focus on two main objectives: First, this study will show the common difficulties encountered by first- year students in the foreign language department. Finally, the study will come up with some solutions to help them improve their listening skill. Scope of the study, The study focuses on understanding and investigating the difficulties students face and gives suggested solutions to help the first-year students.
The participants were 40 first-year English majors selected from the Foreign Language Department at HPU to conduct the survey. Methods of the study The main method used for research is to collect information through the results of survey questionnaire of first-year majors. All survey results and comments will be represented on tables and charts. Organization of the study The study has three parts: Part I: INTRODUCTION, includes the rationale to the study.
It also covers the study's objectives, research topics, scope of work, and methods with organization of the study. Part II: DEVELOPMENT Chapter I: Literature Review, the researcher discusses the literature and theory related to the research topic. Chapter II: The Study, the researcher has justified and described the research method in full detail. From the results obtained after the actual survey, the researcher has drawn new findings and made comments and evaluations on the survey results.
Chapter III: Recommendations and suggestion, from the actual results obtained, the researcher offers practical and specific solutions to the topic. Part III: CONCLUSION, summary of research 2 PART II: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1. English listening skill 1. The definitions of listening Listening is a passive process that just requires us to receive all kinds of sounds.
Listening is a passive physical act that requires a sense and involves the perception of sound. It doesn't rely on concentration. Sounds like data collection, we hear sounds and words all day, even when we don't pay attention to them. Listening is the first skill and basic ability in learning a new language that beginners must learn.
It is a receptive skill meaning that the language learning beginners receive new words from what they have heard or listened to. The ability to receive will affect the ability to produce. If they are good at listening; as a result, they will understand and even have a good competency in productive skills namely speaking and writing. According to Nation and Jonathan “Listening is the natural precursor to speaking; the early stages of language development in a person’s first language (and in naturalistic acquisition of other languages) are dependent on listening.” According to Brown listening is a spoken or written response from the student that indicates correct (or incorrect) auditory processing.
In order to become better listeners, the learners must think actively when they are listening.
