Hanoi, 2015 Le Huong Hoa i LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to express deep gratitude to my two supervisors. Vu Thi Phuong Anh and Assoc. Le Hung Tien, for their valuable suggestions, guidance and encouragement throughout the course of this work, for their generosity in giving their time and their constant willingness to help me with my thesis. I am also extremely thankful to Assoc. Le Van Canh for his knowledgeable suggestions, support, understanding and kindness without which I would not have finished this thesis. I am greatly indebted to my colleagues in the English Department of the People’s Police University for their ceaseless support and patience, and for creating favorable conditions for me to do my research. Last but not least, I owe my deepest gratitude to my parents, my husband and my daughter who helped me endure many difficult times during the process of this study. Without their constant love and encouragement, the completion of this study would not have been possible. ii LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ABSTRACT Among the factors influencing students’ studies, motivation is considered to be one of the most important reasons for different achievement levels. The purposes of this study were (i) to find out the students' levels of motivation to study English, (ii) to identify the sociocultural factors influencing that motivation and (iii) to investigate the relationship between students' motivation and their achievement. The subjects were 509 first-year students at the People’s Police University (PPU). The instruments used for data collection were questionnaires and focus group interviews. The data from the returned questionnaires was statistically analyzed using the SPSS program to derive percentages, frequencies, means, standard deviations, as well as to perform exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regression. Findings from this study indicated that the majority of the students were motivated and had a positive attitude toward learning English; however, their reasons for learning English were task-oriented and more instrumental in nature with utilitarian purposes such as passing the exams rather than studying for pleasure or simply to broaden their knowledge. Students' motivation and their English learning achievement were strongly and positively correlated with each other (p=. If we want to improve achievement, we should influence motivation, especially with regard to two of the most important motivational factors: Attitudes towards the learning situation and group cohesion. The findings could be useful for researchers and teachers in improving students’ achievement by devising effective teaching and learning strategies to increase students’ motivation. iii LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com TABLE OF CONTENTS CERTIFICATE OF ORIGINALITY…………………………………………. iii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS………………………………………………… vii LIST OF TABLES……………………………………………………………. viii LIST OF FIGURES…………………………………………………………… x PART 1: INTRODUCTION………………………………………………… 1 1.

Rationale for the study As an English lecturer at the PPU for more than 10 years, I have been disappointed by my students many times. As I always prepared careful lesson plans with many activities, including educational games, pair work, and group work, I did not know why many students showed little or no interest in these activities. One class would be excited about those activities, but others would not. Even within one class, some students would be interested but others would not share that enthusiasm. Initially, most students were usually enthusiastic about studying English but this excitement gradually seemed to decrease and, even worse, their academic results appeared to slump until the only thing they wanted to do was simply pass the exam. At that time, I blamed myself for not preparing better activities and sometimes blamed the laziness of the students. Year after year, I encountered the same problems with my students, thereby continuously suffering disappointment with my teaching performance. I agonized over questions like, ‘Why do the students not like to study English? And why did their results get worse?” These problems inspired me to choose this topic for my research project. From the literature review, I realized that learning a language is a complex activity. Firstly, it is closely related to linguistics. Secondly, language is social as it occurs within certain social contexts and finally, it is individual in terms of personal identity. Personal characteristics such as experience, gender and age, attitude and aptitude, motivation, beliefs, self-confidence and anxiety greatly influence language learning. Among these variables, motivation is considered to be one of the most important factors affecting success in learning a second or foreign language. However, the relationship between motivation and academic achievement is not completely clear. In the current literature, motivation is regarded as socially constructed, therefore as dynamic rather than static. 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Little research has been conducted on the motivation of Vietnamese students studying English as a compulsory curriculum component rather than as a major from a socio-cultural perspective. Understanding the relationship between students' motivation and their academic achievement as well as the sociocultural factors influencing that motivation will make an important contribution to motivation theory. Therefore, the issue requires longitudinal and in-depth research into student motivation by using mixed methods, the factors affecting it during the learning process, and the relationship between students' motivation and their academic achievement. It is believed that insights in these areas will help address the issue of motivation at the PPU.
