To be specific, the study follows the theory of conceptual metaphors which was initiated by Lakoff and Johnson (1980). Within the scope of the paper, the entity SEASON is treated as a target domain which is conceptualized through the source domain SPACE, which is examined via the corpora built from English and Vietnamese song lyrics composed the duration of the 20th century onward. By employing descriptive and comparative methods, and adopting the procedure of conceptual metaphor identification (Steen, 2011), the results show that English and Vietnamese share 2 conceptual metaphors of SEASON, namely, location and path. Accordingly, this study functions as an attempt to contribute to the area of metaphor research in cognitive perspective in Vietnam.","PeriodicalId":182460,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Language Teaching and Learning","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132495718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This area is potential for studies in linguistics as well as improvement in language learning. This study aims at investigating how a corpus-based website named https://www.english-corpora.org/coca/ - or COCA - helps improve students' lexical usage in written production. Participants were EFL students from a university using COCA over two months for revising vocabulary in their writing assignments. Data included the measure of textual lexical diversity (MTLD) of the participants' revised assignments and their reflections/reviews on using COCA. Results reveal some positive changes in MTLD values, while participants' feedbacks suggest COCA is useful for gaining knowledge about lexis, and improving the use of collocations, synonyms as well as high-lexis despite some challenges of unfamiliar interface and overwhelming contents. The study implies the feasibility of applying corpora provided that there are sufficient facilities and careful training for learners.","PeriodicalId":182460,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Language Teaching and Learning","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128197830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The importance of student engagement in a foreign language class has been proved in many prior studies. Most of them have mainly focused on students' and teachers’ perceptions towards student engagement in learning English. However, the current paper quantitively analyzed factors affecting student engagement and its correlation between variables. There are two research questions: 1) What factors influence non-English major tertiary students in Vietnamese EFL class; and 2) To what extent do those factors correlate with non-English major students’ engagement in English classrooms? The study’s questionnaire was delivered to 83 non-English major tertiary students studying in a public university in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The findings found that motivation made a more significant contribution to student engagement than the three others (e.g., teacher-student interaction, family engagement, and peer support for learning). In this paper, the correlations between student engagement and those factors were found to be significantly positive. Based on the results, the present study’s implication was that teachers and school managers should form a strong relationship with students’ parents to manage their learning process and share education opinions related to boosting student engagement in EFL classrooms. The study also suggested more future research investigating influences of student engagement with different methods to generalize this field.","PeriodicalId":182460,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Language Teaching and Learning","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122308619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study had two research questions: 1) Which is the most common type of foreign language anxiety experienced by non – English tertiary Vietnamese students in EFL classrooms, and 2) What is the correlation between foreign language anxiety and Vietnamese students’ willingness to communicate orally in EFL classrooms. The data was collected from 176 non-English major tertiary students learning in a public university in Ho Chi Minh City by facilitating the Willingness to communicate Scale and Foreign Language Anxiety Scale. The study’s results analyzed in a quantitative descriptive approach indicated that communication apprehension was the most common type of anxiety experienced by the students in the English learning process. The study found that language anxiety negatively correlated with willingness to speak. It means the students were more anxious, they could not engage in the in-class communicative activities, which might affect their academic performance. The present paper hopes to provide educators and school managers who might encourage students’ readiness to join speaking activities in Vietnamese EFL classrooms with a comprehensive understanding of the influence of foreign language anxiety on students’ willingness to communicate.","PeriodicalId":182460,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Language Teaching and Learning","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122518406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, the first agent enables students to gain the feeling of acceptance and confidence, the second one supports them to deal with challenging tasks. This current research was carried out to dip into such social agents on learners’ autonomy with three main objectives. The purpose of this study is to dip into such social agents on learners’ autonomy with three main objectives. Firstly, the role of teacher autonomy support was examined. Secondly, the role of peer autonomy support was also investigated. Lastly, the role from which side more important in enhancing EFL learners' autonomy was analyzed. A survey through distributing a questionnaire was used to collect data of 58 adolescent participants from three classes, whose age ranges from 12 to 15 years old and whose English level is intermediate in a language center in Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City. The findings revealed that both social supports played a significant role in promoting EFL learners' autonomy. However, teacher autonomy support appeared to be more important than the other. Such roles were deeply acknowledged, as teachers, we can provide students with necessary supports by applying different teaching practices or supplying suitable materials. Cultural aspects and psychological development stages need to be taken into teachers’ consideration to understand students’ behaviours in the classroom. Moreover, the role of peer is also vital to promote learners’ autonomy, which partly makes mixed ability groups become a suitable way in the class discussion.","PeriodicalId":182460,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Language Teaching and Learning","volume":"80 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123219220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are representative of each school year, covering a variety of levels, genders helping to identify any trends or differences among student translators at different educational levels. This article analyses by quantitative method with the results of 20 questions including multiple-choice and essay written in English. The results show that students use a lot of technology and prefer to use their phones to translate Vietnamese-English. The tool using Google Translate was voted as the most used by students, followed is TFlat, SmartCat. The preference for using a phone over using a computer increased after the first and final years of school. Students in the early years also show a significant preference for Google Translate as their most used tool, but this preference is much lower for seniors.","PeriodicalId":182460,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Language Teaching and Learning","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129100312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most fundamental factors that influences vocabulary acquisition is the choice of vocabulary learning strategies. With so many words to learn, it's important to look into vocabulary learning techniques. This study aims to investigate a group of Ho Chi Minh City university students’ employment of learning strategies in their vocabulary learning process. The author conducted a questionnaire survey including 16 questions on vocabulary learning methods along with the degree of efficacy of 135 good and poor language students from many universities in Ho Chi Minh City. The findings from the analysed quantitative data revealed that although Ho Chi Minh City students employ a variety of vocabulary learning techniques, they nevertheless face several challenges. Therefore, the goal of this study is to assist students in learning English vocabulary and to broaden their vocabulary by giving some recommendations.","PeriodicalId":182460,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Language Teaching and Learning","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129794611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
