The presented information about forms, models and methods of active learning are supposed to raise the reader’s interest and awareness for the importance of students’ active participation in their learning process. Various methods, ideas and researches are discussed in order to acquire information about the meaning of active learning and its background.
In line with this purpose, the present study was carried out with 40 students in Starters class studying English at Ames English center in Hai Phong during 3 months academic term. An experimental model with pre-test and post-test and a control group was used. Activities based on active learning were used in the treatment group, while teacher-centred instructional methods were used in the control group. The data in the study were collected using the ‘attainment test’ and ‘attitude scale’ for English lesson.
Furthermore, the attainment test was also used as the ‘retention test’ three weeks after it was administered as the post-test. The purpose of the study is to investigate the impacts of active learning and teacher-centred instruction on learners’ academic attainment, attitudes and retention of what is learned. The findings of the study indicated that active learning methods boosted learners’ attainment in English lesson and the retention of what is learned. However, the learners’ attitude towards the lesson did not differ with respect to active learning and traditional methods The result of that study was to evaluate if students achieve better learning outcomes when they are actively involved in the learning process.
The results of the thesis emphasize the importance of active learning as it helps the students to process new information better and connect them to already existing knowledge and experiences. The results indicate the necessity to make a change in teaching methods. The focus should be on the students’ active participation and therefore teaching methods such as active learning should be applied more often. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the process of doing the graduation paper, I have received a lot of assistance, guidance, encouragement and idea contribution from my teachers, family and friends.
First of all, I would like to express my deepest thanks to thesis adviso Ms Nguyen Thi Quynh Hoa, MA who has lecture and instructions which help me a lot in completing this study with her enthusiastic guidance, very helpful ideas and instructions for the preparation and her correction through the process of writing my graduation paper. She also inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher by showing great support and motivation during my studies in university. Without that inspiration, I might not have chosen to become a teacher. Also, I am very grateful to all the teachers at the Department of Foreign Languages of Hai Phong Private University for their interesting and useful lectures during the 4 years, which have built in me a firm foundation with immense ideas for my fulfillment of this paper.
Next, I am also grateful to my friends from NA1802 at Hai Phong Private University, who provided continuous support and encouragement throughout the last four years of my studies and especially through the process of conducting my research, but whom I cannot all mention here due to the inconvenience of space. Last but not least, I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to my family, to whom I have never enough words to express my great gratitude for their encouragement and inspiration. iv LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS No. Abbreviation English full name Vietnamese Meaning 1 Eg For example Ví dụ 2 P Page Trang 3 Et AL et alia Cùng cộng sự v LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES No Name Content Page 1 Picture 1 The 6 Levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy (1956) 5 2 Picture 2 Dewey’s model of learning (Miettinen, 2000) 11 3 Picture 3 Picture 2.

Rationale For as long as we have had schools and universities, there has been a debate raging about the most effective ways of learning. The most common controversy rages by parents is over which of the many different ways of transferring knowledge from teacher to student helps the student learn the quickest, and retain knowledge for the longest time. Traditional teaching method is often known as “chalk and talk”, is the predominant teaching method, especially in large lectures with many hundreds of students. It involves teachers standing at the front of the class, writing on a board and explaining concepts to their students.
There is little opportunity for students to ask questions or do any experimental work or to draw their own conclusions about what they are being taught. There is however lots of criticism of this sort of learning. It is clear to see how it would have limited success in learning practical skills. Societies in today's world, which is getting smaller and smaller with the impact of rapidly developing technology, are in need of individuals who are not only merely taught to memorize and regurgitate facts but also are able to develop a true understanding of the subject matter at hand.
The greatest responsibility, therefore, lies with the educational system with schools. Educational systems throughout the world are continuously revised and renovated. The demands of contemporary education are no longer possible to meet in a system that emphasizes teaching and neglects the learning that goes on in the classroom. The shift must be made towards active learning (Stoll & Fink, 2000; Peko et al.
This will be possible when individuals transform themselves from being passive recipients into active participators. Unlike the traditional education, active learning, in the simplest terms, is the process in which learners “learn to fish,” and it enables learners to have opportunities such as questioning, researching, planning, discovering and interpreting, which are indications of active participation. Active learning allows students to engage in activity that will enhance their learning by exploration. The contents focus on what students need to learn, not what teachers want to teach.
Aims of the study Within the framework of a minor thesis, the study is aimed at: - Introduce what active learning is. - Present information about forms, models and methods of active learning - The impacts of active learning on student’ academic attainment, attitudes and retention of what is learned. - Give some suggestions with the hope to assure the training quality for students in order to meet the outcome criteria and help students who know their own learning style become better learners. Research questions - What is active learning ? - What are advantages and dis advantages of active learning ? 2.
Scope of the study With the limitation of time ,resources, space and knowledge of mine, as well as some other conditions , this study was carried out to find out the reality of teaching English at Active Learning for Kids and Teens class and the effectiveness of Active learning teaching method as well as offering some techniques to promote active learning in classroom. Thus, the result of study is limited only to those students participating in this study and these findings may impact the generalization to the larger population of all students and they can also be the references for anyone who wants to teach or learn English actively. Research methodology Getting a scientific method of study is very important.
