| Summary: | Thepurpose of this study was to investigatethe currently used teamwork activities in the English speaking lessons at ISP, HULIS, VNU. It also aimed at identifying the organization of these activities and the ways which the teacher used to group his/her students in a team. Moreover, the researcher wished to find out the problems in using teamwork during the English speaking classes. This research was carried out with the participation of 75 ISP students and 5teachers of English at this division. The instruments used in this study included questionnaires for the students, interviews with 5 teachers, and 3 class observations. The findings of this research revealed that teamwork activities were frequently used in the English speaking classes at ISP. The common activities were games, problem-solving, role plays, and discussion among which games and role plays were the students’ favorite activities. However, most of them lost interest in discussions. In addition, most of ISP teachers grouped the students sitting next to each other into pairs or small groups of 3-4 or by random groupings, they rarely gathered the students with mixed levels. Another finding of this study was that the ways to motivate the learners involved using authentic materials, visual aids, and giving compliments, or gifts. The teachers also controlled the troublesome noise during the students’ teamwork by punishment. From the main findings of the study, some recommendations were given to the ISPstudents and teachers for using teamwork activities more effectively in the English speaking lessons |
