    Chapter 1: Introduction

    1.1 Rationale for the study

    We are living in the global world in which English language has rapidly become an

    international language. To meet this requirement, English has been taught almost

    everywhere in Vietnam, especially in schools, colleges, universities, English is a

    compulsory subject.

    However, how to speak English well is a problem or many learners o English,

    especially or the students o colleges and universities. !espite the act that most o the

    students have been learning English since they were at secondary or high school, they are

    deicient in English speaking."s a teacher o Tourism # $oreign language !epartment, %ao !o &ollege o

    'ndustry %&', Hai!uong, rom our observation and our own teaching e(perience, we see

    that during the speaking lesson classroom interaction is restricted. )nly some students get

    involved in the activities conducted by the teacher while others keep silence or do other

    things. Thus, one o the challenges to the teacher is to ind out the answer to the question

    *Why don+t many students o English get involved actively in speaking lesson-

    To ind the answer to this question it is necessary to investigate what motivates and

    demotivates students in English learning in general and in speaking in particular. /any

    teachers and researchers now believe that motivation is one o the most important actors

    that determine the rate and success o 01 attainment2 it provides the primary impetus to

    initiate learning the 01 and later the driving orce to sustain the long and oten tedious

    learning process. Without suicient motivation, even individuals with the most remarkable

    abilities cannot accomplish longterm goals, and there are no appropriate curricula and

    good teaching to ensure student achievement.

    $or the mentioned reasons, we would like to conduct a study on Motivation in

    Learning English Speaking of the Second Year TourismMa!or Students at Tourism

    and "oreign Language #epartment$ Sao #o %ollege of &ndustry'. The study is to

    investigate what motivates and demotivates students in English speaking learning. We do

    hope that this study will help the teacher o speaking in some ways to ind appropriate

    methods to motivate their students.

    6. To suggest motivational strategies and techniques, which can be applied tostimulate learners in teaching speaking skill.

    1.*Scope and significance of the study+

    There are many actors aecting the success or ailure o learning a oreign

    language, in which motivation is one o the key actors. The ocus o this study is on

    motivation as a separate actor in English speaking learning. The results o the study will

    be applied to improve the speaking skills o second tourism major students o Tourism #

    'n recent years, motivation has become a amiliar term in second language learning.

    /otivation in oreign language learning has been deined in dierent ways.

    "ccording to !ornyei, 4899, motivation reers to the eorts learners make to learn

    a oreign language. /otivation is one o the keys that inluence the rate and success o

    language learning.

    versa with both having an inluence on learning and acquisition. Aardner 7489B: as as cited

    in !ornyei, 71==4:, assumed that motivation involved desire to learn a language, intensity

    o eort to achieve this, and attitudes toward learning the language.

    "ccording to the ramework by !ornyei 74886:, motivation consists o 5 main

    levels which are language level, learner level and learning situation level.

    /otivation can be classiied in dierent ways. 'n some studies, motivation is

    categori3ed into two types2 intrinsic and e/trinsicmotivation

    Tracing the word *intrinsic- down to its roots, it means *innate- or *within-, thus

    intrinsic motivation originates in the individual itsel. &oncerning learning it can be said

    that the drive or stimulation to learn comes rom within the students, hence, the teacher or

    instructor does not have to Fmanipulate+ the student in any way in order to make him learn.

    't is an inner desire o the student to ulill a positive learning outcome. 'ntrinsic

    motivation itsel is goal related, thereore, it is independent o any kind o e(ternal value.

    E(trinsic motivation can be regarded as the opposite o intrinsic motivation. The

    goal connected with intrinsic motivation is a positive learning eect that lasts a long time,but the goal o an e(trinsic motivated student is completely dierent. *When individuals

    are e(trinsically motivated, they hold some desired outcome as a goal 7e.g., getting a good

    grade or avoiding punishment:, they recogni3e that a certain way o behaving is an

    e(pedient means to that goal, and they make plans to modiy their behavior in such a

    manner that they are likely to e(perience the desired outcome-.

    However, motivation in oreign language learning is more broadly categori3ed into

    two types2 integrative andinstrumental motivation

    (.1.,.1 %onceptions of demotivation

    !ornyei 71==B2 465: deined demotivation as *speciic e(ternal orces that reduce

    or diminish the motivational basis o a behavioral intention or an ongoing action-.

    !eci and yan 7489B: used a similar term *amotivation-, which means *the

    relative absence o motivation that is not caused by a lack o initial interest but rather by

    the individual+s e(periencing eelings o incompetence and helplessness when aced with

    the activity.-

    !ornyei pointed out that demotivation does not mean that all the positive

    inluences that originally made up the motivational basis o a behavior have been got rido. 't only means that a strong negative actor restrains the present motivation with some

    other positive motives still remain ready to be activated.

    learning.

    b+ !"titude:

    "ptitude reers to the special ability involved in second language learning 7!ouglas

    et al 488B:. The relationship between aptitude and second language learning success is a

    very important one and various studies, such as Aardner 7489=: and %kehan 74898: have

    reported that aptitude is a major actor determining the level o success o second language

    learning 7!ouglous et al 488B:. %tudents can have a *good aptitude or learning-. This can

    "n important point regarding aptitude and second language learning is that

    successul learners may not be strong in all the components o aptitude and can still

    succeed at learning a second language. $or e(ample, some individuals may have strong

    memories but only average abilities in the other components o aptitude 7%pada 4888:.c+ -ersonality

    claim that personality actors are important predictors o success in second language

    learning. ?ersonality traits such as e(troversion, introversion, risktaking, independence

    and empathy have been the basis o discussions and disputes relating to this topic 7Ellis

    /ost learners have strong belie about how languages are learnt, how their

    their own heads and put it into coherent order so that it comes out in orms that are not

    only comprehensible but also convey the meaning that are intended. )ne o the main

    reasons or including speaking activities in language lessons is to help students develop

    habits o rapid language processing in English.

    ,nteracting wit& ot&ers: most speaking involves interaction with one or more

    participants. This means that eective speaking involves a good deal o listening and

    understanding o how the other participants are eeling and a knowledge o how

    linguistically to take turns or allow others to do so.

    have competence which involves knowing what is e(pected socially and culturally by users

    o the target language. Lnderstanding the sociolinguistic side o language helps learners

    oreign languages- or simply the *&ommunicative "pproach-. "s an e(tension o the

    notionalunctional syllabus, &0T also places great emphasis on helping studentsuse the

    target language in a variety o conte(ts and places great emphasis on learning language

    unctions. Lnlike the "0/, its primary ocus is on helping learnerscreate meaning rather

    than helping them develop perectly grammatical structures or acquire nativelike

    pronunciation. This means that successully learning a oreign language is assessed in

    terms o how well learners have developed their communicative competence, which can

    loosely be deined as their ability to apply knowledge o both ormal and sociolinguistic

    aspects o a language with adequate proiciency to communicate.

    &0T is usually characteri3ed as a broad approach to teaching, rather than as ateaching method with a clearly deined set o classroompractices. "s such, it is most oten

    deined as a list o general principles or eatures. )ne o the most recogni3ed o

    These lists are !avid Cunan+s 74884: ive eatures o &0T2

    language.

    1. The introduction o authentic te(ts into the learning situation.

    5. The provision o opportunities or learners to ocus, not only on language but

    also on the learning process itsel.

    6. "n enhancement o the learner+s own personal e(periences as important

    contributing elements to classroom learning.

    B. "n attempt to link classroom language learning with language activities

    )utside the classroom.

    These ive eatures are claimed by practitioners o &0T to show that they are very

    interested in the needs and desires o their learners as well as the connection between the

    language as it is taught in their class and as it used outside the classroom. Lnder this broad

    umbrella deinition, any teaching practice that helps students develop their communicative

    competence in an authentic conte(t is deemed an acceptable and beneicial orm o

    instruction. Thus, in the classroom &0T oten takes the orm o pair and group work

    requiring negotiation and cooperation between learners, luencybased activities that

    encourage learners to develop their conidence, roleplays in which students practice and

    develop language unctions, as well as judicious use o grammar and pronunciation

    ocused activities.

    (.(.*.* )ccuracy and fluency

    "ccording to Hedge, T. 71===21>4:, *as communicative approaches have

    developed, teachers have been concerned to ensure that students not only practice speaking

    in a controlled way in order to produce eatures o pronunciation, vocabulary, and structure

    accurately, but also practice using these eatures more reely in purposeul

    communication-. Teachers will thereore need to design both accuracybased and luency

    based activities.

    5 )ccuracy+ When we say someone speaks English with accuracy, we mean they

    speak English without or with ew errors in grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.

    'rammar:The student uses correct word order, tenses, agreement, etc. The studentdoes not leave out articles, prepositions, or diicult tenses.

    ocabulary:the student has a range o vocabulary that corresponds to the syllabus

    year list and uses words you have taught the student uses a wide range o vocabulary.

    -ronunciation:When the student speaks most people will understand. The message

    that the student is trying to get across is clear because o good pronunciation.

    5 "luency+ $luently speaking means being able to communicate oneIs ideas without

    having to stop and think too much about what one is saying.

    Lack of undue &esitation: the student speaks smoothly, at a natural speed. %he

    doesnIt hesitate long and it is easy to ollow what she is saying.

    Lengt&:the student can put ideas together to orm a message or an argumentG she

    can make not only the simplest o sentence patterns but also comple( ones to complete the

    task.

    ,nde"endence:when the student is lost or a word or cannot e(press an idea in

    English, she inds a way around the problem, ree(pressing what she wants to say in N a

    dierent or simpler way. The student can keep talking and asks questions, etc. to keep the

    conversation going. %he is independent o the teacher. The student does not give up trying

    when she cannot ind the right word. The student does not let the conversation break down

    or is not dependent on others to keep talking.

    (.(., 6rinciples of teaching speaking

    The teaching o speaking is closely bound up with receptive skill work. They eed

    o each other in a number o ways2

    5ut"ut and in"ut:when students produce a piece o language, eedback rom their

    interlocutor will act as input based on that they modiy their output. %uch input can come

    rom the teacher as eedback or prompters.

    Te/ts:te(ts oer students a model to ollow, especially when they are working on

    speciic unctions o language like agreeing, apologi3ing, reusing, and so on. Te(ts can

    also act as stimuli as a lot o language production grows out o te(ts that we see or hear. "

    controversial reading passage may be the springboard or a discussion. 70istening to a tapein which speakers tell a story or opinion may provide necessary ' stimuli or students to

    respond based on their own e(perience.

    2ece"tion as "art of "roduction2 in many situations, production can only continue

    in combination with the practice o receptive skills. Thus conversation between two people

    is a blend o listening and speakingG comprehension o what is said is necessary or what

    the participant says ne(t.

    -roduction enables rece"tion:when students try to speak in certain situations or

    within certain genres, they are better attuned to understanding other people speaking in the

    same conte(t. 'n this case, oral production works in a way that helps students with their

    listening comprehension. 7Harmer, 1==4:

    To motivate students in English speaking lessons, it is suggested that the below

    principles should be apllied.

    7ive students practice -ith oth fluency and accuracy+

    &ommunicating eectively in a language requires both the knowledge o the

    language as well as the ability to use tine language in real time interaction. Thus, the

    teacher should provide students with ormocused speaking, meaningocused ' speaking

    teacher knows the answer to:, an individual student answers, the teacher evaluates or

    corrects the answer, and then the cycle begins again with another student and another

    question that everyone already knows the answer to 70iao, 1==4:.

    6rovide opportunities for students to talk y using group -ork or pair -ork$

    and limiting teacher talk

    esearch has repeatedly demonstrated that teachers do appro(imately B= to 9=

    percent o the talking time in classrooms. Lsing pair or group work will help increase the

    amount o time that learners get to speak in the target language. /oreover, with teachers

    removed rom the conversation, learners can take up roles normally illed by teachers 7e.g.posing questions, asking or clariication:

    6lan tasks that involve negotiation of meaning

    esearch suggests that learners make progress by communicating in the target

    language because interaction necessarily involves trying to understand and make yoursel

    understood. This process is called negotiation o meaning which involves checking to see

    i youIve understood what someone has said, clariying your understanding and conirming

    that someone has understood you. ;y asking or clariication, repetition, or e(planation

    during conversation, learners get those they are speaking with to address them with

    language at the level they can learn rom and understand.

    #esign classroom activities that involve guidance and practice in oth

    transactional and interactional speaking.

    'nteractional speech is communicating with, someone or social purposes. 't

    includes both establishing and maintaining social relationships. Transactional speech

    involves communicating to get something done, including the e(change o goods and or

    service.

    &onversations are relatively unpredictable and can range over many topics with

    participants taking turns and commenting reely while transactional encounters o a airly

    restricted kind, in contrast, will usually contain highly predictable patterns 7e.g.

    telephoning or a ta(i:. 'nteractional speech is much more unpredictable than transactional

    speech. %peaking activities in classroom thus need to embody both types since learners will

    have to speak the target language in both interactional and transactional settings.

    0.( &mplications

    The indings o the study implicate that2

    4. 'n learning the speaking subject, the students seem to posses 1 main types o

    motivation which are instrumental and integrative. These students want to become tour

    guides, they will use much English in their uture jobs. $or them, luent English speaking

    and sound knowledge o people and culture o international tourists is very useul, whichhelp them to work better with their uture jobs. The combination o the two types o

    motivation assists in the successul acquisition o an 01. Thus, in English speaking classes,

    teachers should provide students with not only language knowledge but also cultural

    knowledge o English speaking countries...

    1. The motivational strategies are o great importance in which pair work and group

    work attracted many students attention. The using o teaching aids like slide projectors,

    cassettes R are the actors impressing students+ attention. ;esides, teachers should give

    students lot o chances to practice speaking at the tourist destinations. However, using

    Vietnamese during the speaking lesson is not a good way o motivating students.

    5. !emotivating aecting students in their speaking are many actors among which

    lack o time and vocabulary, low proiciency in tourism English rank the irst. ;esides,

    crowded class has strong eect on students+ motivation. 'n addition to these demotivative

    actors, the content o some lessons, class hour 7starts too early in the morning or

    aternoon: are sometimes aect students in English speaking learning.

    6. To reduce students+ motivation in English speaking learning, two important

    things must be done2 $irstly, teacher should apply motivational strategies to motivate

    students in speaking learning. %econdly, it is necessary to improve te(tbook to attract more

    students in learning speaking.

    0.* Recommendations and suggestions

    ;asing on the indings o the study, here are some recommendations and

    suggestions to the teachers o Tourism and $oreign 0anguage $aculty and %ao !o in

    industrial college.

    4. To make speaking learning motivating activities, besides the classroom

    activities, the teachers need to make great eect to develop programmers which attract

    students+ participation. 't is suggested that the aculty cooperate with the tour operators to

    create students chances to act as tour guide to practice speaking English, or the teaches

    may send students to hotel or tourist sites to learn and practice speaking English. "nd one

    o the most eective activity which can be applied is the teachers themselves may taketheir students to some amous destinations near the school to study and practice guiding in

    English.

    1. To reduce the actors demotivating students in speaking, it is necessary to

    reduce the number o the students in the class. The administrators need to pay attention to

    this to create an eectiveness o English learning process in general and o English

    speaking in particular. ;esides, the time to start class should be changed to be later, not too

    early as present.

    5. The course book should be improved with more interesting and easier topics,

    illustrated with more beautiul and clearer pictures, the diicult e(ercises should be

    replaced. 't is suggested that more vocabulary e(ercises should be used to ill in the gap o

    vocabulary which students lack. "lso, to motivate students, the coursebook should be

    improved every year, added with update inormation ater each course.

    6. The teacher should play the active role as a acilator to encourage students in

    learning process to sustain long term motivation. 'n the English speaking class, the stages

    such as warm up, while speaking and post speaking should be applied. &lariication and

    wholehearted guidance are inluential actors which help stimulate learners. The teachers+

    instructions should be brie, easy to understand and clear so that all students know what

    they have to do. These help attract students+ commitment to the lesson and avoid

    conusion.

    B. The teachers+ attitudes are o great importance in increasing students+

    motivation. The teachers+ sense o humor and riendliness as well as the attention will

    attract students+ during the whole lesson.

    instrumentalG thereore, in teaching it is necessary or the teachers to provide students with
