As a result, the use of information technology in foreign language learning has become a common topic of discussion in education.
Thus, the study aims to investigate the current use of technology to enhance speaking skills and identify the advantages and disadvantages of using technology in learning English speaking skills among K46 English major students. Moreover, the study also suggests some recommendations for enhancing the use of technology to acquire speaking skills by applying a mixed method of quantitative method and qualitative methods. A five-point Likert Scale questionnaire and interview sessions were carried out for one week period at Hanoi Law University with 102 English- majored sophomores. The result showed that most students believed technology plays a crucial role in learning to speak English, and they have used various technological tools to enhance their speaking skills.
The study also reveals that technology can both positively and negatively affect English- speaking ability suggesting helpful recommendations for students, teachers, and universities to use more technology in the classrooms. Based on the findings, this thesis recommends that educators provide students with more opportunities to practice their speaking skills using technology and that students should be encouraged to use various technological tools to enhance their learning experience. Finally, this research paper's results may also be applicable to the other study on this topic. 1H TABLE OF CONTENTS STUDENT DECLAIRRA TON.

Deviation : et cetera Vil INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to build the foundation for the research study by describing its rationale, aims, research questions, scope, significance, and organization with a clear focus, purpose, and direction. Rationale for the study In recent years, along with the worldwide integration and globalization trend, the scientific and technological revolution has evolved significantly, which has contributed to the education sector in general and foreign language learning in particular in Vietnam. The online preservation of teaching and learning activities at all levels of education countrywide, even during the Covid-19 outbreak, has also been a clear indication of the employment of technology in education. Technology promotes an open education, helping people access multi- dimensional information, shortening distances, narrowing all spaces, and saving optimally in time.
Since then, people have developed faster in knowledge, perception, and thinking. Open educational programs help people exchange and seek knowledge effectively. Therefore, the influence of technology has changed educational methods and thinking in Vietnam inrecent years. That is foreign language learning integrated with skill development, learning English on the technology platform.
This advanced training method is beneficial since it enables students to approach the language in a more practical and applied approach. Educational institutions, colleges, and research investment centers stress the application of technology to learning in order to provide a sound and progressive educational environment for students. A typical example is the application of technology in learning foreign languages by learners. Especially, learning English allows learners to instantly access knowledge sources, from general knowledge to academic knowledge around the world in English through the library's search system.
Search engines like Google Search, Google Scholars, Google Books, academic databases like Scopus or educational, and social networks such as Academia, and Research Gates. Moreover, with the advent of technology, language learners can now use various digital tools and software to improve their language skills, including their speaking skills. According to Arifah (2014), accessing the Internet will help motivate readers to learn. We can combine pictures, films, and music with the lessonsto increase their intellectual awareness and develop their thinking ability.
Another benefit is that students can use English-related apps on their phones. Computer technology and the Internet provide providers for studying, enhancing, rehearsing, and developing skills. EFL students can use some technology such as computers, tablets, and Smartphones to access the Internet to communicate with foreigners and improve their language (Alsied and Pathan, 2013). Moreover, according to Bull and Ma (2001), technology provides offers unlimited resources to language learners.
According to Harmer (2007), using computer-language activities improve cooperative learning in learners. Moreover, Hussain (2018) stated that the primary function of language is to communicate, and English is considered an international language used in conferences, meetings, cultural exchanges, forums, etc. People in interaction mainly use speech to transmit information, so speaking plays an important le in language acquisition. The Industrial revolution 4.0 has significantly impacted foreign language teaching and learning thanks to advancements in multimedia technology, helping to diversify and improve the efficiency of transferring foreign language knowledge and skills through the application of information technology achievements, particularly in teaching speaking skills.
In this research paper, the author wants to find out what type of technology the 2nd year students of Legal English major, Faculty of Legal Foreign Languages, Hanoi Law University use to enhance speaking skills as well as their positives and hindrances when applying these technologies in practice. Aims of the study The research paper has three primary purposes as follows: 1. Investigating the practice of using technology to improve their speakingskill among English-major students from K46. Investigating the positive and negative results of using technology in learning speaking skills.
Suggesting some recommendations for enhancing the use of technology to acquire speaking skills. Research questions This study is designed to investigate technology tools that second-year students at Hanoi Law University (“HLUU”) use to improve their speaking skills. Specifically, the study attempted to answer the following these questions: 1. How do second — year Legal English majors use technology in improvingspeaking skill? 2.
What have been the positive and negative results of using technology inlearning speaking skill? 3. What are the recommendations for enhancing the use of technology to acquire speaking skills? 1. Significance of the study Although this study was conducted on a small scale, the researcher hopes that once completed, it will be useful to all HLU students, particularly second- year English major students at Hanoi Law University who wish to improve their English language skills. Particularly, the study aims to provide language learners with helpful information and assist them in utilizing technological tools to acquire English speaking more effectively.
Finally, this study will be a reliable resource for academicians interested inthe same subject. Scope of the study This study focuses on which technology tools K46 students of Hanoi Law University use to maintain and improve their speaking skills when going through 2 semester online classes due to the recent Covid-19 pandemic as well as the positive or negative outcomes of technology. Moreover, it can be expected that they have already experimented with anddiscovered a variety of technology tools for learning speaking skills to fit into the scope of this research paper. Organization of the study The study consists of three parts mainly organized as follows: Part I: Introduction includes the Rationale, Aims, Research questions, Scope, Significance, and Study Organization.
