Summary: | This research has been done
i
n an attempt to encourage students
to
take part in
oral presentations and
improve their speaking skill
at
Hai
P
hong
S
econdary
Vocational School for Technical
–
Professional Training.Specifically, the
researcher puts focus on students’ attitude towards speaking skill, their
degree of
participation in classroom speaking activities
, reasons that make them
hesitant to
participate in oral activities, current methods applied to teach speaking
as well as teachers’ view of CLT, their
attitude towards unwilling speakers and mistake
makers
, their
difficulties in teaching speaking
and techniques and activities applied
in teaching speaking
. The
research
was
carried
out
among
nine
teachers
and
100
students
at
Hai
Phong Secondary
Vocational School for Technical
–
Professional
Training
.
The
data
were
collected
by
means
of
survey
questionnaires,
classroom
observation.
It
was
firstly
unveiled
from
the
results
that
the
level
of students’
participation in speaking lessons
is rather low. Secondly, students’
talking time in
speaking lessons is
limited.
Thirdly, regarding to factors
affecting students’
participation in oral activities,
there
were
five main ones namely
uninteresting
speaking topics, poor background knowledge, lack of confidence, lack of
motivation and passive learning style
.
Fourthly, teachers’
difficulties in teaching
speaking
was
also
highlighted
.
Lastly
, the
current methods
were
shown that
most of
the students feel uncomfortable learning with the teachers’ teaching activities
which lead to the
inability, or the unwillingness of the students to express
themselves through oral activities
.
Basing
on
these
findings,
some implications are
recommended for both the teachers and the students. |
