This article present the output of a quantitative study on self-regulated learning (SRL) of pre-service teacher students at VNU University of Education. Based on a literature review of both theoritical and imperical researches on SRL, a conceptual framework of SRL has been defined for developing a students’self - assessing questionnaire on SRL skills. Data of 809 respondents, who were VNU University of Education’s pre-service teacher students, were analyzed for this report. The outputs of descriptive statistics showed that all the investigated SRL skills of the students were limited, with the average mean scores of four SRL strategies ran between 3 and 4 (within the 1-5 Likert scale). Among various SRL skills being surveyed, the students assessed themselves better in keeping efforts and being persistent in targeting their study goals. Meanwhiles, a considerable ratio of respondents was reported to be lack of independent learning skills such as setting goals and plans for their own study, self monitoring and regulating their learning techniques. Besides, the percentage of students with limited ambition and self-efficacy in studying was also noteworthy, which may become a warning for various stakeholders, especially the university’s lecturers, the student union and clubs to focus on appropriate solutions and activities to promote students’ SRL.

The purpose of this research paper is to look into the current situation of using learning strategies and the key factors that influence English learning strategies of tertiary students who major in economics at Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City. On the basis of Oxford’s (1990) theory on language learning strategies, the study conducted a questionnaire survey with the participation of 300 students. The results show that economics-majored students use English learning strategies at a relatively high frequency, with the metacognitive strategies group having the highest frequency; the groups of affective strategies and compensation strategies have the lowest frequency of use. It also draws a conlusion that individual factors such as gender, grade level, and major do not appear to have a significant impact on students' use of English learning strategies. There are no significant differences between male and female students, between students of all grades, and between students of different majors in the frequency of using English learning strategies.

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is demonstrated as the most efficacious intervention for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in many pieces of paper (Stahmer, 2011). However, ABA has been neither officially educated in Vietnam nor studied to examine the ability of intervention teachers. In order to enhance the quality of intervention teachers in specialized centers, a basic training program was conducted, including a two-week tutorial and a three-month supervised practicum. One hundred thirty-one intervention teachers in Vietnam participated in this training, which comprised general knowledge, fundamental skills, and on-site practicing. The finding indicated that the knowledge about ABA is limited; there are differences between staff with different specialties. The training has a positive impact on raising awareness of ABA even though it was a short-period program. These findings serve as the foundation for introducing evidence-based methods such as ABA into practice for ASD and other developmental disorders in Vietnam.

This article investigated the general structure of teaching competencies and integrated teaching competencies of natural science teachers in high school education, the actual situation of integrated teaching in Vietnam and some other countries in the world, and the designing of assessment templates to recognize difficulties of natural science teachers in integrated teaching. It is shown that natural science teachers are facing various challenges in integrated teaching: a lack of professional knowledge and skills in building integrated topics and teaching with this approach, problems in putting integrated teaching techniques into practice. On this foundation, the article presents a procedure for building an integrated teaching competency framework for natural science teachers, then proposes such a framework. This framework consists of 4 competencies and ten criteria with detailed indicators. Natural science teachers can use this framework to develop tools (checklists, rating scales, or questionnaires) to assess their integrated teaching quality and their “colleagues”, henceforth fostering their competencies as required by the General Education Program.

This study focuses on exploring the contribution of Kahoot! to students’ skill enhancement. We set out to determine students’ perceived judgments on how much their skills have improved as a result of using Kahoot! inside classrooms. Deviating from several related research, we not only looked at the effects of playing Kahoot! games but also of creating Kahoot! games. Using a survey that takes Bloom’s taxonomy as its theoretical foundations, we elicited judgments from 95 university freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Students’ self-reports were analyzed using a series of one-way repeated measures ANOVA, which reveals a number of interesting results. First, students reported significant skill improvement when they played Kahoot! during class and even more so when they themselves were involved in the creation of Kahoot! games. Second, not all of the examined skills are subject to the same degree of improvements, leaving some room for educators to ponder how they can use gamification to effectively develop students’ comprehensive skill set. Thirdly, freshmen and juniors reported the highest amount of skill improvements, indicating that certain game-based applications might be helpful for only certain groups of students. Taken together, we suggest that Kahoot! games can be utilized in classrooms for both knowledge enhancement and effective skill improvement.

This study addresses the development of employability skills among English-major graduates to facilitate their transition from university to the workplace. Contemporary research has pinpointed that universities fail to sufficiently prepare their students in terms of professional knowledge and work-related skills. There is also a mismatch between the focus of academic programs and the demands and requirements from potential employers regarding graduates’ performance. Drawing on the document analysis and simple descriptive statistics of the undergraduate English language/linguistics program descriptions of six distinct universities located across Vietnam, this study aims to explore the extent to which English-major students are empowered with employability skills and provide recommendations for promoting these skills. Findings show that there is a substantial shift in reconsidering the imbalance between theoretical and practical components in the program design. The programs also exhibit certain degrees of preparation for students’ employability through the curricular integration of generic skills such as critical thinking, public speaking, presentation skills, communication skills and research skills. This study reiterates the significance of promoting work-related skills and strengthening university-industry partnerships in designing academic programs and providing English-major students with hands-on experience.

This study aimed to investigate the impacts of total physical response (TPR) method on the fourth graders’ vocabulary ability and their perceptions toward this method. This study was conducted at Luong The Vinh Primary school. There were 30 students participating in this study and they were divided into two groups: 15 students in experimental group (EG) and 15 students in control group (CG). The students in the experimental group were taught with TPR while students in the control one with grammar translation method. A mixed method was employed consisting of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Qualitative data were from the interviews to get feedback of students’ perception and advantages and disadvantages they faced when TPR was implemented in teaching vocabulary in their classroom. Quantitative data were from the questionnaire, scores of the pretest and posttest to check the impact of TPR on students’ vocabulary ability. The study revealed that the EG had better vocabulary learning ability than the CG. They not only remembered vocabulary better but also understood the meaning of the words more easily. It also showed that students had positive perceptions in learning vocabulary through TPR. In addition, the result from the interviews also revealed a limitation that it was sometimes not suitable especially for some outstanding students in the class. The results shed light on the impact of TPR on young learners’ vocabulary ability and perceptions toward TPR and provide some valuable features for further research studies that relate to TPR method in teaching vocabulary for young learners.
本研究旨在探讨全生理反应(TPR)方法对四年级学生词汇能力的影响及对该方法的认知。这项研究是在Luong The Vinh小学进行的。本研究共有30名学生参加，他们被分为两组:实验组(EG) 15名，对照组(CG) 15名。实验组采用语法翻译法，对照组采用语法翻译法。采用定量与定性相结合的方法。定性数据来自访谈，以反馈学生在课堂词汇教学中实施TPR的感受和优缺点。定量数据通过问卷、前测和后测得分来检验TPR对学生词汇能力的影响。研究发现，EG组的词汇学习能力优于CG组。他们不仅更好地记住词汇，而且更容易理解单词的意思。研究还表明，学生对通过TPR学习词汇有积极的认知。此外，访谈的结果也揭示了它的局限性，有时不适合，特别是对班上一些优秀的学生。研究结果揭示了TPR对幼儿词汇能力的影响以及对TPR的认知，为进一步研究TPR教学法在幼儿词汇教学中的应用提供了一些有价值的特征。
