Rationale for the study English has become one of the most popular languages all over the world. Many Vietnamese people realize the importance of English because it is an international, extra-cultural medium of communication. Consequently, it has become a compulsory subject in most of the schools and universities. Being a perceptive skill, listening skill plays an important role in communicating; teaching and learning English process, and it has also been defined an active process during which listeners construct meaning from oral input (Bently & Bacon, 1996). Of the total time spent on communicating, listening takes up 40-50%, speaking 25-30%, reading 11-16% and writing about 9% (Mendelsohn, 1994). Although everyone knows the significant role of listening in communicating as well as teaching and learning English, teaching and learning English at ALHS still focus on grammar and vocabulary. Therefore, both teachers and students do not pay much attention to listening skill. Consequently, students are weak at listening and have a lot of difficulties in listening acquisitions. They even become stressful and ignorant in listening lessons. The above reasons have inspired me to conduct a study on "Factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening skills at An Lao High School" with the expectation of improving the teaching and learning English listening at ALHS. Aims of the study This study aims to investigate the factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening skills in Grade 11 at ALHS. The following are the aims of the study: 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com  The factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening in Grade 11 at ALHS; and  The teachers' solutions to help students learn English listening better in Grade 11 at ALHS. Research questions The study focuses on answering the following questions: 1. What are the factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening skills in Grade 11 at ALHS? 2. What can the teachers do to motivate students in learning English listening skills in Grade 11 at ALHS? 4. Scope of the study To improve English listening skill for the students in Grade 11 at ALHS. The researcher's intention is to find out factors affecting students' motivation in learning English listening and some suggestions for the teachers to help students to improve their listening skill. Method of the study In order to achieve the aims of the study, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used involving two instruments: survey questionnaires and interviews. Design of the study This study consists of three main parts: the introduction, the development and the conclusion. Part A is the Introduction. It lays out the reasons for choosing the topic of this thesis and points out the aims, the scope, the methods, research questions and the design of the study. Part B is the Development which consists of three chapters: 2 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Chapter 1 – Literature Review - presents the theoretical background related to the motivation, listening and motivation in learning English listening. Chapter 2 – Research methodology - gives the situation analysis, subjects, data collection instruments, data collection procedures Chapter 3 – Data Analysis, some findings, and discussion – shows the detailed results of the survey and a comprehensive analysis on the data collected. Part C is the Conclusion which presents the review of the study, suggestions for further research and limitations of the study. 3 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com PART B: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW This chapter presents conceptions of motivation, motivation in the foreign language learning, and the theoretical background of listening skills.1 Theoretical background of motivation 1.1 Conceptions of motivation Motivation is necessary for everyone. It is important to help us to take an action. Specially, in learning if we have motivation we will try our best to study well. Defining motivation is not easy. It is an abstract concept. In fact, many researchers gave definitions of motivation. Dornei (2001:613) defined motivation as “a general ways of referring to the antecedents (i. the causes and the origins”. He also stated that motivation explained why people decided to do something, how hard they were going to pursue it and how long they were willing to sustain the activitie (2001:7). The author mentioned two dimensions of human behavior direction and magnitude (intensity) which motivation concerns. It can be said that motivation is something that forces us to make our efforts to achieve a goal. As Garder (1985) stated that motivation involved four aspects, such as a goal; an effort; a desire to attain the goal and a favorable attitude toward the activity.2 Motivation in foreign language learning Motivation plays an important role in determining success or failure in foreign language learning. Therefore, many researchers had given the definitions of motivation in foreign language learning. However they gave various ways of definitions. Ellis (1997) stated “Motivation involves the attitudes and effective states that influence the degree of effort that learners make to learn an L2.” (p 75) 4 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Similarly, in 2001, Dornyei added that motivation involved desire to learn a language, intensity of effort to achieve this, and attitudes toward learning the language. In 1994, Dornyei divided motivation into 3 main levels which were language level (integrative motivational subsystem and instrumental motivational subsystem), learner level (depends on need for achievement, self-confidence which is language use anxiety, perceived L2 competence, casual attributions and self-efficacy) and learning situation level ( refers to course specific motivational components, teacher specific motivational components and group specific motivational components). In addition, Marion Williams and Bob Burden (1997) proposed a detailed framework of L2 motivation with the "Internal" and "External" motivational influence. Types of motivation in foreign language learning Motivation can be classified in different ways. In some studies, motivation is categorized: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and some others, it is classified: integrative and instrumental motivation. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation Harmer stated that "intrinsic motivation comes from within the individual and a person might be motivated by the enjoyment of learning process itself or by the desire to make them feel better". The teachers doesn't have to stimulate the students to make them learn. It's an inside desire of the students to get a positive learning outcome, as Edward Deci (1975:23) defined intrinsic motivation: "intrinsically motivated activities are ones for which there is no apparent reward except the activity itself. People seem to engage in the activities for their own sake”. Extrinsic motivation is caused by external incentives which include circumstances, situations, rewards or punishment. In 2001, Woolfolk, stated " 5 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Extrinsic motivation is the one in which the student engages in an activity in order to obtain a reward, or to avoid a punishment. This student is not really interested in the activity for its own sake, but rather for what it will gain them” 1. Integrative and instrumental motivation When speaking the target language, learners admire the culture and have a desire to become familiar with the society in which the language is used (Falk, 1978). Gardner and Lambert (1972: 132) also considered “integrative motivation” as “a sincere and personal interest in the people and culture represented by the other group” Contrarily, instrumental motivation concerns the practical and concrete rewards that student‟s desire as Ellis (1994: 75) said "Some functional reasons such as to pass an examination, to get a better job or to get a university place motivate learners to learn an L2 because it opens up educational and economic opportunities for them." In short, it is clear to see the differences between integrative and instrumental motivation. Integrative motivation stresses a sincere and personal interest in the people and culture, on the other hand, instrumental motivation stresses on the practical and concrete. Demotivating factors affecting motivation in foreign language learning There have been many researches about demotivating factors in foreign language learning and they are classified differently by various people. Rebecca Oxford (1998) analyzed contents of essays written by 250 American students ( in high school and universities) about their learning experiences over a period of five years. In the research, demotivating factors are categorized: The teacher’s personal relationship with the students, including hypercriticism, belligerence, a lack of caring, and favoritism; the 6 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.
