Abstract

The major aim of the present research is to investigate the effects of listening to English News on improving the vocabulary of English majors at a university in Vietnam. The researcher called for 60 students to volunteer to take part in the study, 30 of whom were assigned to the experimental group and the other half assigned to the control group. The two groups had to respond to the pre-questionnaire and take the pre-test on vocabulary. The experimental group then entered the experimental process and was asked to listen to English News every day to learn vocabulary. Besides, they did some exercises designed by the researcher related to the English News they heard. Data were collected within ten weeks via the pre-questionnaire, the pre-test, the post-test and the post-questionnaire. The results of the study indicated that the experimental group advanced remarkably in terms of vocabulary compared to the control group. This demonstrated that listening to English News has a positive effect on English majors’ vocabulary. The results of the post-questionnaire also reveal that the students’ feedback on the practice of listening to English News is generally positive.

通过听英语新闻来提高学生的英语词汇量

本研究的主要目的是调查在越南一所大学听英语新闻对提高英语专业学生词汇的影响。研究人员呼吁60名学生自愿参加这项研究，其中30人被分配到实验组，另一半被分配到对照组。这两组学生必须回答预先问卷，并参加词汇的预先测试。实验组随后进入实验过程，并被要求每天听《英语新闻》学习词汇。此外，他们还做了一些由研究人员设计的与他们听到的英语新闻相关的练习。数据在十周内通过前问卷、前测试、后测试和后问卷收集。研究结果表明，与对照组相比，实验组在词汇方面取得了显著进步。这说明听英语新闻对英语专业学生的词汇量有积极的影响。事后问卷调查的结果还表明，学生对英语新闻听力实践的反馈总体上是积极的。
