Abstract
Out-of-school learning activities such as community service, mentoring, study clubs, etc. which facilitate learners to expand their perceptions and situate experiences (Pugh, 2004) in daily life are not a new pedagogical concept. Specifically, as Pugh (2009) once emphasized the role of service learning as an extremely goal-oriented leaning activity with remarkable opportunities for deep learning and active reflection as well as interests and curiosities arousing. The aim of this phenomenological study was to better understand the service learning project experience employed by the third-year English majors at Thu Dau Mot University, especially exploring their personal and professional outcomes. The study used in-depth interviews to gather data. The findings of the study indicated that students were highly motivated to reflect on their beliefs, attitudes and relationships with the people in need. More importantly, the data gathered greatly supported for the expansion of service learning project among tertiary education
