Abstract
The purpose of this study is (I) to survey the EFL learners' understanding of intonation rules, (II) to investigate the EFL learners' application of intonation rules when learners communicate in English, and (III) to analyze the relationship between EFL learners' understanding and application of intonation rules when communicating in English. The subject of this study comprised 30 students majoring in English Studies at a university in the south of Vietnam. This study utilized a mixed-method approach – with qualitative and quantitative data. There were two instruments that were used for collecting the data: an understanding test and a practicing test. Thirty students majoring in English Studies participated in both two tests. After the study, the results revealed a relationship between students’ understanding and application of intonation rules. The paper showed that the student's theoretical knowledge and how they applied it in practice were at odds. Most students grasped all the theories of intonation rules, and they used good intonation when they communicate in English. The research paper showed that students' theoretical knowledge and how they apply it in practice are compatible. These findings were beneficial for English language learning and teaching.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0596/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
