Research plays a pivotal role in enhancing the educational experience of students in the English language program, equipping them with critical thinking, analytical skills, and practical knowledge that are essential in today’s globalized world.
Through various projects, students explore diverse areas, contributing to their academic and professional development. For example, the study on "The educational benefits of Kahoot! in enhancing skills" investigates how interactive tools can foster engagement and improve learning outcomes. Similarly, the application of adventure video games for vocabulary acquisition highlights innovative methods to make language learning more engaging. Research on strategies for promoting English as a communication medium on campus emphasizes the importance of practical application in real-life contexts.
Another vital area is the investigation into students’ perceptions of the IELTS test, which provides insights into the challenges and expectations surrounding standardized assessments. The comparative study of Quizlet and Anki offers valuable data on effective vocabulary learning techniques, while research on resource management strategies among English majors sheds light on optimizing academic resources.
Additionally, exploring non-English majors' attitudes toward code-switching reveals how language dynamics play a role in communication strategies. Investigating the impact of Vietnamese vowels on English pronunciation and the equivalence in translating Vietnamese social news highlights the intersection of linguistic and cultural studies.
Other significant topics include effective pronunciation strategies, student engagement in higher education, and the use of social media like Facebook for language learning. Furthermore, studies on automated writing evaluation tools, critical thinking in academic writing, and the needs of underprivileged students underscore the relevance of research in addressing contemporary educational challenges.
Collectively, these research projects not only advance academic knowledge but also empower students to become proactive learners and contributors to the field of English language education. Here is the list of research projects conducted by students in the Faculty of English over the past academic years.
