To achieve the research goal, the researchers decided to work on four research questions: (1) How frequently are CL activities applied in speaking courses? (2) What are the perceived benefits of CL activities in speaking courses? (3) What are the perceived disadvantages of CL activities in speaking courses? (4) Are there developmental changes in students' perception of CL activities across speaking courses? The researcher designed a questionnaire consisting of three sections and distributed it online to 144 students of the first and the second year in the Faculty of Foreign Language at Banking Academy.
The collected data are encoded and analyzed by the SPSS software version 20. It is shown in the study that a variety of different CL activities were used in Speaking courses. Among the CL activities, think-pair-share is the most applied activity, while Jigsaw is the least common one. Overall, surveyed English-major students enjoy working on collaborative learning.
They also agree that CL can help them significantly improve their Speaking skill and sharpen their collaborative skills. Apart from positive perceptions on advantages of CL in Speaking courses, surveyed students also reported more about obstacles they faced in the process of doing CL. In the seven items presented to the students, the answers are quite concerned about unequal contribution of members in group work, giving constructive feedback to group mate's performance, and giving elaborate explanations in support of their opinions. Moreover, the first-year students evaluated conducting collaborative tasks in speaking courses are more challenging than second-year students.
Particularly, freshmen find it arduous in three aspects: accepting opposing opinions of the group mates, asking the group members for help, and building trust among friends. However, second-year students find it more difficult to give elaborate explanations in support of their opinion Key words: Collaborative learning (CL), Speaking courses, effectiveness of CL in speaking courses, English as a foreign language (EFL), students’ perception, challenges viii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The first chapter presents the readers with an overview of the study. Firstly, the problem statement and context information will be presented to illustrate the existing research scenario. Secondly, the purpose of the study and its significance are given in their appropriate sequence.
Finally, the scope and organization of the research will be identified. Problem Statement Intercultural communication has become increasingly concentrated and developed in the age of globalization. Among the many main foreign languages that are generally accepted around the world, English is undoubtedly the most frequently spoken. English has been given a high priority in Asian countries' education programs, including Vietnam's, and has become a required foreign language in school curricula.
As a result, English Language becomes a mandatory subject at most Vietnamese institutions and colleges. There are four main language skills in foreign language education including listening, speaking, reading and writing (Bağçeci & Yaşar, 2007, Barın, 1997, as cited in Darancık, 2018). However, speaking was the skill with the highest proportion of challenges among these four. The focus of our research is on CL activities to help improve the English speaking ability, based on the analysis presented.
Locale of the study English has become the international language in this age of global integration and interconnection. According to Rao (2019), English is the most extensively used language in worldwide business, popular entertainment, diplomacy, international communications, scientific journals, and the publication of magazines and other forms of literature. In this sense, the majority of Vietnamese universities and colleges have embraced. In this regard, the majority of Vietnamese institutions and colleges have adopted English as a major to meet the global language's development.
The English language major is concerned with the languages, applications of English, history, culture, and people of English- speaking nations. To meet the demands of worldwide commerce integration, students majoring in English are also gifted with extra knowledge in other areas such as economics, 9 banking and finance, hotel and restaurant management, import and export, international relations, etc. A variety of universities and institutions provide English language training in the form of English for Specific Purpose (ESP). According to Galina (2016), ESP refers to English learning and teaching in which the learner's purpose is to use English in a specific academic, professional, or vocational field, with a focus on the learner's individual requirements.
The research participants are English majors at the Banking Academy of Vietnam's Faculty of Foreign Languages who plan to specialize in English for banking and finance. Thus, English majors can gain an extensive understanding not only of the English language but also of the banking and finance businesses. Students at the Faculty of Foreign Languages get substantial English teaching in both practical skills like listening, speaking, reading, and writing, as well as academic subjects like phonetics, semantics, grammar, and intercultural communication. In addition to English language instruction, individuals are also educated in banking and financial skills in English.
This study investigates the efficacy of collaborative learning in speaking classes, so that both students and instructors have more perspectives from which to arrange and engage in collaborative activities. Aims of the study This study aims to ascertain English-major students' perceptions on collaborative learning in speaking courses delivered at the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Banking Academy. The anticipated findings would make valuable contributions to how collaborative activities should be implemented to enhance students' speaking competence. Significance of the study This research may be valuable to both instructors and students since it provides insight into the field of English speaking skill associated with CL.
