PublicationA Real Game-Changer in ESL Classroom? Boosting Vietnamese Learner Engagement with Gamification( 2020)Lê Thùy LinhThe significance of gamification has been robust in educational contexts as gamification provides a greater engagement and empowerment among ESL language learners. This research aims to reconsider the role of gamification beyond its conventional use as gamified classroom activities, incorporating it into the whole journey of an ESL blended learning course. The study was conducted in a Vietnamese private university with a total of 50 learners for 12 weeks. E-journal and interviews were employed to explore learners’ deep thoughts of gamification. Each week, five learners voluntarily submitted their journals through a link by Google Form. Additionally, interviews were also conducted in the middle of the course, week 7, and at the end of the course, week 12. Data was analyzed into 3 main themes: behavioral engagement, emotional engagement, and cognitive engagement. The result indicated that ESL learners achieved a deeper engagement in a gamified blended classroom, behaviorally, emotionally, and cognitively. To be more specific, learners attained a higher level of participation, effort-making, and contribution to learning. Moreover, participants showed their interest and confirmed the decrease of language anxiety. Finally, students developed a sense of social connection and investment in their learning, which was regarded as the expressions of cognitive engagement.

Về vấn đề trên, cần thiết phải đánh giá nguồn tài nguyên hiện hữu nhằm có định hướng phát triển trong nghiên cứu, và nhằm gợi ý cho quyết định về chính sách. Trong nghiên cứu này chúng tôi áp dụng phương pháp phân tích trắc lượng khoa học các nghiên cứu COVID-19 liên quan bối cảnh Việt Nam. Để có được thông tin về các nghiên cứu COVID-19, cơ sở dữ liệu Scopus đã được sử dụng. Sử dụng công cụ phân tích tích hợp sẵn có của Scopus để thống kê mô tả kết hợp sử dụng công cụ ScienceScape và VOSviewer phân tích 144 tài liệu nghiên cứu, chính yếu kết quả cho thấy đã có sự hợp tác quốc tế, có sự đa dạng hóa các hướng nghiên cứu từ nghiên cứu y học, cho đến kinh tế xã hội, công nghệ v.v. tuy nhiên, nghiên cứu y học chiếm đa số xuất bản có liên quan. Ở thời điểm hiện tại, nghiên cứu về Dịch tễ học-kiểm soát dịch COVID-19 bối cảnh Việt Nam là sự quan tâm nhiều nhất từ các nhà nghiên cứu."

PublicationAn Investigation into Learners’ Perception Towards Peer Assessment in Tertiary EFL Writing Class( 2021)Nguyen Ngoc HuyThe current paper attempts to investigate learners’ perspectives towards the strengths and weaknesses of peer assessment in academic writing in the context of tertiary education at a private university. The study was conducted on 55 third-year university students who had finished the academic writing module that applied peer assessment in writing. The research adopted the mixed method of qualitative and quantitative approaches via the questionnaire with both close and open-ended questions. The results of the study reveal that the use of peer assessment was feasible for large-size classes at university to provide learners with the opportunities to reflect and enhance their language scope and social knowledge to improve their writing performance. However, certain limitations were acknowledged, such as the lack of assessment competence among learners and the time constraint in the classroom, especially the hesitation to violate the positive face of their peers.

PublicationAssessing the quality of e-learning teaching by lecturers at universities in Vietnam( 2021)Nguyễn Hữu NăngWith the growing popularity of the internet and the continued growth, universities are focusing more on web-based strategies to deliver higher education (e.g., e-learning). Despite this, very little research on e-learning service quality has been done to test the effectiveness of these efforts. Therefore, we researched two hundred-ten teachers, including 111 men and 99 women, who participated and used the quality of e-learning teaching questionnaires at several Vietnamese universities. In addition, we use the t-test and MANOVA test to assess each gender and experience group of the lecture. The results found that regarding the quality of e-learning teaching questionnaires scores, men were found to have higher scores than women. However, the teachers who had gone under the study showed a positive attitude to E-learning quality through lectures, and they would be interested in performing E-learning. Evaluating the quality of e-learning teaching is possible and well received by the lecturers. In addition, the assessment of quality learning helps to improve the system of e-learning at Vietnamese universities

The study's findings show that most listening comprehension issues encountered when studying with Microsoft Teams fall into the following categories: digital literacy, psychological, listener factors, technology, English ability, tasks and activities, learning environment. The findings also indicate that while the students are conscious of the advantages of using E learning, they do not enjoy it.

PublicationHelping Language Learners Self-Review Learning Points and Gain Learning Expectation( 2022)Dinh T.T. LeRevision after each lesson plays an essential role in enhancing learners' English level, although it is sometimes neglected by students at the tertiary education level. Acknowledging learners’ difficulty in reviewing major learning points and their low expectations in classes of writing skills, I decided to apply a technique called “summary cards” to assist students in grasping the main points and logically connect their lessons for the whole picture of the subject. The act also aims at helping review for the final exam when students have to deal with a huge amount of knowledge in order to meet the requirements. Furthermore, a small act of the “summary card” was utilized to assist students in setting their learning goals and gaining their expectations and motivation, which was supposed to help improve both their level of writing and their attitudes towards learning writing skills. After a 10-week course using ""summary cards,"" a class of 36 freshmen at a university showed positive attitudes towards the new measure introduced. It is possible in the future that they apply this new measure in other courses which require them to memorize various learning points.

PublicationLocative Prepositions “at, in, on” and Translation to Vietnamese Through Frameworks( 2021)THI TUYET HANH NGUYENBased on the role of the frame of reference under the influence of point-of-view culture in the British and Vietnamese ethnic groups used as a cognitive premise in the translation, the article presents the justification of the contracting process about the reasons, similarities and differences as well as the semantic differences of the locating preposition “at, in, on” in English with the corresponding linguistic units in Vietnamese through specific communication contexts. Research results show that if the reference object (DTQC) in the positioning reference system of the English preposition is assimilated with the speaker in Vietnamese [similar to the reference frame in the reference system] then, the translation semantics of the preposition “at, in, on” will be similar to the expression semantics of the corresponding units in Vietnamese. In contrast, the different structural semantics are manifested because there is no similarity in the frame of reference.

PublicationMicrosoft Teams in the context of freshmen ELF learning( 2021)Trần Thị Thanh MaiThe aim of this research paper is to determine how Microsoft teams worked when teaching the first-year English at Van Lang University through the COVID-19 pandemic. Microsoft Teams is a new application used by the university, and this paper reports on the experience of using it for other colleagues to critique and improve on. The sample for this study consisted of eighty freshmen selected from four classes. A set of questionnaires with fifteen Likert-scale items together with interviews served as instruments for data collection. The findings demonstrated that using Microsoft Teams for teaching and learning was an effective way to keep learning activities going on. In general, despite some inconveniences with the technological problems, the students were eager to a new means of learning but did not make good use of this collaboration tool in their learning. Also, the research paper results reveal that the participants possessed positive attitudes towards the benefits of using Microsoft Teams in online learning. In contrast, they expressed an unfavorable perspective on the drawbacks of using this tool respectively.
