We almost have to communicate in every aspect of life, especially in study and work. In communication, besides words and texts (verbal communication), non-verbal behavior plays an extremely important role.We often hear about non-vernal behavior very often, especially in the process of studying at the university, this term becomes more and more popular for students. During the process of studying in English, especially in the presentation activities in the classroom, students need to use non-vernal behavior very often.
However, most students do not have the opportunity to focus on learning about it. Meanwhile, if students well grasped non-verbal behaviors, they can practice and apply it to make their communication skills better. This study aims to help the first year English majors at Hai Phong Management and Technology University have a better overview of non-verbal behavior, instructing students to identify the difficulties they encounter to have appropriate ways to improve it. Thereby, helping students improve to use non-verbal behavior.
Specifically, this research is based on the difficulties that students are experiencing during the use of non-verbal behavior (results obtained through the survey questionnaire) to offer appropriate methods for them to apply. I ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In the process of completing this study, I have received a great deal of help, guidance and encouragement from many teachers, friends and my family. First of all, I would like to express my deepest thanks to Mrs Pham Thi Thuy, my supervisors for their constant and tireless support throughout this study. Next, my sincere thanks also go to other teachers in Foreign Language Department for their lectures and instructions throughout the course of study which helps me much in completing this study.
Especially, I would like to thank the first year English majors' at Hai Phong Management and Technology University for their cooperation and enthusiastic participation in the survey. Finally, I wish to thank all who have kindly given their advice and helped me with source materials during the writing of this study. Hai Phong, 15 June, 2023 Student Dao Thi La II PART I: INTRODUCTION 1. Rationale English is an international language which is extremely important in our life.
It is considered a powerful medium connecting a country or a culture with others. In learning a language including English, the learners in general and Vietnamese ones, in particular, need to learn four main skills which are listening, speaking, reading and writing skill. However, in order to communicate with people around the world more effectively, the skill of using non- verbal behaviors is essential. There is a fact that most of the students are aware of Non- verbal behaviors, often mention them, often encounter them but do not pay attention, do not understand how to use them.
Because of it, non- verbal behaviors cannot be optimal for learners. At university, students do not get to learn deeply and practice often. As a result, students' speaking and presentation skills are difficult to develop. To learn this skill effectively, it is important to have some activities such as learning environment to give learners more opportunities to practice and feel more interested and motivated.
Because of the above, I find it necessary to learn about useful types of Non- verbal behavior and how to use them. Thereby helping students to be more confident in communication as well as presentation. Most importantly, in addition to learning, this knowledge can also help students have better job opportunities and high salaries. That's why I chose the topic “A study on the first year English majors' non- verbal behavior in speaking performance at Hai Phong Management and Technology University”.
Aims of the study My research is with the desire to help first-year language major students at Hai Phong Management and Technology University can refer and apply to improve non- verbal behavior in communication and learning, especially while using English. Research provides basic knowledge about non- verbal behavior. It then offers specific actions that students can apply and practice. In summary, this study aims to: - Give an overview of non- verbal behavior - Find out the appropriate linguistic behaviors for students - suggest some effective methods to improve skills using Non- verbal behavior 1 However, this study should not be considered exclusively for language majors at HMTU.
In fact, the basic concepts and results of this study can be applied to most English learners. Scope of the study There are so many different material resources and researchers that require a lot of time and effect while my personal experience is limited. Therefore, this study can only focus on helping students to understand how to use non- verbal behaviors appropriately and effectively, especially for the first year English majors' students at Hai Phong Management and Technology University. I hope this this study is a good reference material for the English majors students as well as all students who wish to improve ability to use non- verbal behaviors.
Methods of the study To finish this study, I myself carry out some following methods: - Researching on reference books and websites. - Conducting the survey questionnaires (combined with informal interview survey) for the English major students at Hai Phong Management and Technology University with a point to find out their awareness, attitudes of the matter and the difficulties they encounter when using non- verbal behaviors, then offer some suggested solutions. Design of the study The study contains of five parts: PART I: The introduction includes literature review, aims, scope, methods and the design of the study. PART II: The development involves two chapters: - The first chapter is Theoretical Background which provides readers the overview of non- verbal behaviors and its classification.
- The second chapter deals with the methods used in this study and the subjects and procedures in the survey. PART III: Analysing the data obtained through the survey. 2 PART IV: Findings and discussion, summarize the results of the survey and suggest useful methods to help students apply to improve the ability to use non- verbal behavior in speaking performances. PART V: The conclusion which summarized all the presented information and giving suggestions for the further studies.
3 PART II: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER ONE: LITERATURE REVIEW 1. Theoretical backgrounds of speaking 1. Definition of speaking Most of the beginning learners do not understand exactly “what is speaking?”. We only regard speaking as a simple, easy process that involves speaking the words, the ideas…by speaking out what they think without the correct.
So, we had better start by making sure that we are thinking about the same thing when we use this term. As the first step, it would be useful to understand “what is speaking?”. The concepts of speaking skill were defined by many famous authors in the world: Speaking is defined as an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing, receiving and processing information. Its form and meaning are dependent on the context in which it occurs, the participants, and the purposes of speaking (Burns & Joyce, 1997).
According to Bygate (1987, p 1) "Speaking skill is the ability in using oral language to explore ideas, intentions, thoughts and feelings to other people as a way to make the message clearly delivered and well understood by the hearer”. Besides, Hedge (2000, p 261) argues “speaking is a skill by which they [people] are judged while first impressions are being formed”. In other words, speaking skill is an important skill which helps people express and share their ideas with others. According to the Oxford Pocket dictionary of Current English 2009 “Speaking is the action of conveying information or expressing one’s thoughts and feelings in spoken language.
And speaking used to indicate the degree of accuracy intended in a statement or the point of view from which it is made.” In the book “Developing speaking skill” of David Scheter, published on 1999, there is a definition that: “Speaking is to utter words or articulate sounds, as human beings to express thoughts by words, as the organs may be so obstructed that a man may not be able to speak”. Meanwhile in the book “Collins Cobuild English for advanced learner 4th edition, published in 2007 defined that “Speaking is the activities of giving speeches and talks, to indicate the opinion you are giving”. “Speaking is also understood is the productive skill in the oral mode. 4 It, like the oral skills, is more complicated than it seems at first and involves more than just pronouncing words” (In the website Lingua Link Library, Version 3.
