Authors: Đỗ, Thị Anh Thư (2018-11-17) - This article discusses the concept of learner autonomy in learning foreign
languages, some misunderstandings of learner autonomy, and the roles of teachers
in fostering learner autonomy to be carried out with students of an intensive course at a
Vietnamese university. It challenges traditional role of teachers in the past as a transmitter in
class. In order to develop learner autonomy, it is necessary for teachers to be in other forms of
roles such as manager and organizer, facilitator and counselor. In the context of an intensive
course, this issue is relatively unfamiliar and thus little investigated. This article will conclude
with suggestions on the appropriate roles of lan...

Authors: Nguyễn, Thanh Vân (2018-11-17) - There has been an increasing body of research that suggests teachers to do
research in their own classrooms in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning.
In this sense, action research has been considered an effective professional development
tool by several educational researchers, and English language teaching profession is of
no exception. However, there usually exists the distance between researchers’ suggested
practices and practitioner’s beliefs and real actions. This study is aimed at investigating
how Vietnamese EFL teachers at a university (N=30) perceive action research itself and
the roles action research can play in those teachers’ professional developmen...

Authors: Nguyễn, Thị Thùy Linh (2018-11-17) - The relationship between emotion and language has appealed to linguists as well
as psychologists. It is language that enables us to communicate our emotion to other people.
Through language we can articulate our inner feelings by referring to our emotional states
explicitly (e.g. with nouns or adjectives like happiness, sadness, anger or happy, depressed,
angry) or implicitly by using, for example, fgurative language such as metaphors, thereby
expressing evaluative meanings. It is a well established fact that abstract and mental entities
are often conceptualized with the help of metaphoric language. Figurative descriptions help
us to communicate subjective, international phenom...

Authors: Nguyễn, Thụy Phương Lan (2018-11-17) - Making sense of economics texts is not an easy task for readers of general English
as well as language students and those coming new to the discipline. With an attempt to
investigate four complete English Economics Specialized Journals issued by four established
English Economics journals, we are making the frst steps into fnding out the role of
transitivity system in the realization of stylistic features of such discourse. The application
of different process types may be associated with different purposes and different styles
required of specifc parts in the journals. Hopefully, the insights gained from such analysis
are likely to be of potential value in improving the reading a...

Authors: Nguyễn, Thị Thu Hiền (2018-11-17) - This paper investigates the factors that may influence blended learning success in
tertiary education. Although blended learning has gained its popularity in many countries
all over the world, it is still a quite novel approach of learning and teaching in Vietnam;
therefore, it is essential to determine which factors that may interfere students’ learning
in this new approach in order to make some timely preparations and improvements and
make it more effective. By carrying out a literature review on a number of articles which
have been done during the period of time from 2000 to 2018 from two main databases:

Authors: Nguyễn, Thị Vân Anh (2018-11-17) - The present study explores gender representation through conversations in English
as Foreign language (EFL) textbooks used in Vietnamese high schools with an emphasis on the
visibility and the speech acts performed by male and female participants. Both quantitative
and qualitative methods were employed in the study. Specifcally, AntConc software was
applied to investigate the frequency of turns, utterances and speech acts and John Searle’s
taxonomy (1975) was used in order to analyze the speech acts produced by the speakers. The
results revealed that males were more visible than females considering both single-gender
and mixed-gender conversations while as regards mixed-gender ...

Authors: Nguyễn, Thị Thùy Trang (2018-11-17) - Vietnam, comprehensive education reforms, and the project entitled “Teaching and
Learning Foreign Languages in the National Education System, Period 2008-2020” have drawn
much attention to teacher training. More considerably, much concern has been paid to three
pilot English curricula for Vietnamese schools. Several challenges may arise for English teachers
who directly work with the new set of textbooks in their application of the pilot textbooks in
various provinces with quite distinguished economic, social and cultural features. Addressing
teachers’ concerns in order to help them in their real teaching practice is of great signifcance.
However, literature review reveals litt...

interest from researchers worldwide as the world is becoming a global village. The past
few decades have witnessed a rapid growth in the number of students pursuing further
education abroad as well as the number of colleges and universities from all parts of the
world offering overseas study programs. Today, not only English speaking countries are
ideal destinations of overseas education but many other countries where English is not
the frst language also attract millions of students worldwide. In such countries, students

Authors: Nguyễn, Thị Thu Hà (2018-11-17) - Hiện nay, khi quốc tế hóa giáo dục đại học đang trở thành một xu thế tất yếu thì
việc dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh (EMI- English as a Medium of Instruction) ở bậc đại
học cũng nhanh chóng chiếm ưu thế ở nhiều quốc gia - nơi mà tiếng Anh chỉ đóng vai trò là
một ngoại ngữ. Sự thay đổi ngôn ngữ để truyền đạt kiến thức ở bậc đại học đã làm dấy lên
một số hoài nghi, lo ngại về tính hiệu quả của các khóa học chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh.
Trên cơ sở tổng hợp và phân tích các nghiên cứu đã được thực hiện trên thế giới và Việt Nam
về việc dạy chuyên ngành bằng tiếng Anh ở bậc đại học, bài báo tập trung vào những nội

Authors: Đỗ, Tuấn Long (2018-11-17) - The study aims at exploring the lexical representations of the English preposition
over in the light of Lexical concepts and Cognitive models. We advocate the idea by Evans that
over, as a linguistic vehicle paired with other units, encodes distinct lexical concepts (2009).
The data were collected from the Corpus of Contemporary American English, 2017 Spoken
and analyzed with content-based methods. It is found that "over" denotes 17 lexical concepts,
encoded by distinct syntactic and semantic structures; and Lexical concepts and Cognitive
models together with image-schema would shed light on the lexical representations of over
to account for its distinct senses/ concepts.Nghiên...

Authors: Chowdhury, Raqib (2018-11-17) - Often to be ‘critical’ is seen as pejorative - as synonymous to fnding fault, and in
the academic context this is also often seen as a sign of disrespect, even arrogance - hence
best avoided. Yet studies and research at the graduate level and beyond are quintessentially
founded upon our understanding and practice of criticality and critical thinking. This
presentation unpacks the philosophical foundations upon which criticality in the social
sciences is based, and offers insights into some questions - how can we be critical without
being judgemental? How can a critical outlook enhance our understanding of theories? How
can we best reflect our critical stance in our writing?
In a...
