ESP Class Activities to Boost Student Engagement in the Classroom: A Case Study

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is regarded as a challenging course for students since it necessitates not only a solid foundation in basic English but also a strong understanding of professional topics in order for pupils to acquire this material effectively. The authors discovered that there was little student participation in class sessions when teaching ESP. Finding out why students don't actively participate in class activities as well as what kinds of activities can encourage students to do so was the goal of the research. The study was carried out on a group of 24 English students majoring in human resource management at a university in Hanoi. After 6 weeks of face-to-face learning, activities to encourage student participation were applied. Both qualitative (interviews and discussions) and quantitative (surveys) methods are used in the research. The research team used a 5-level Likert Scale survey to collect information from students. Research results have shown the reasons why students limit their participation in activities, as well as the factors that help increase student participation in activities that lecturers deploy in the classroom.

Automatic identification of Dong Son antique glass artifacts using evolving learning

Regarding the Dong Son culture, given the diverse range of artifacts discovered, we propose the utilization of an artificial intelligence system for the automated and comprehensive identification of Dong Son glass jewelry through SEM gemological analysis. This approach, which has gained prominence in the field of archaeology worldwide over the past five years, aims to integrate advanced technology into Vietnamese archaeology. Our research is motivated by the unique conditions present in archaeology, where we seek to employ evolving learning algorithms to archaeological databases, comparing and selecting the most suitable model that aligns with the archeological dataset's performance. We have developed the Recognition Automatic System for Dong Son Antique Glasses (RAS-DSA), capable of accurately distinguishing between Dong Son and non-Dong Son glass ornaments, and is freely distributed to experts and archaeologists. This collaborative research involves Nam Can Tho University, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, the Vietnamese Institute of Archaeology, and the UNESCO Center for Research and Conservation of Vietnamese Antiquities.

Fostering learner autonomy in a blended learning environment: EFL teachers' practices at Hanoi University of Industry

Learner autonomy (LA) is acquiring prominence in higher education, particularly in English language instruction, due to its favorable effects on the development of language proficiency, particularly in blended learning (BL) environments. This paper presents the findings of an investigation into the strategies adopted by instructors to nurture LA in a BL environment. Class observation and interviews were the study's primary data collection methods. During 15 lessons, three instructors were observed in an effort to determine how they promote learner autonomy. Teachers were interviewed to determine the motivations behind their utilization of such a method to cultivate learner autonomy. The findings of this study indicate that instructors employed a variety of strategies to cultivate learner autonomy, including organizational autonomy support, procedural autonomy support, and cognitive autonomy support. Cognitive autonomy-supporting strategies are the most frequently employed. Improving the quality of BL programs in educational institutions in order to nurture LA is an essential implication of the study for educators, curriculum developers, and educational administrators.

LECTURERS’ AND STUDENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS PAIR WORK AND GROUP WORK ACTIVITIES IN SPEAKING LESSONS AT THE ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES DEPARTMENT, HANOI UNIVERSITY

Pair work and group work are considered useful in improving speaking skills. This study aims to examine the opinions of 148 students and 33 lecturers at the English for Specific Purposes Department, Hanoi University in using pair work and group work activities in speaking lessons. A combination of questionnaires and a semi-constructed interview was administered to discover theadvantages of pair work and group work and challenges faced by students and lecturers in speaking classes. The findings revealed that pair work and group work offered many benefits to students including learning from their peers, expressing themselves more often, becoming more confident, and improving their teamwork skills. Those activities also reduced teacher talking time as students had more time to speak. However, difficulties such as mixed-level classes, shortage of vocabulary and grammatical structures, lack of confidence, and students’ passive learning styles prevented them from participating in pair work and group work activities. Students, thus, were recommended to strengthen their English vocabulary and structures by actively participating in out-of-class activities. Instructors should also carefully prepare appropriate content and give more explicit instructions.
