MA-Thesis Using task-based reading activities to enhance vocabulary for freshmen at the college of mechanics and metallurgy has always been the primary concern of many language teachers. The present study is devoted to examining the comparative effectiveness of task-based reading activities to enhance vocabulary for freshmen at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy. In order to achieve this objective, theoretical and practical research is carried out.

MA-Thesis: Using task-based reading activities to enhance vocabulary for freshmen at the college of mechanics and metallurgy

1. Preface

1.1 Rationale

In this context, in order to compete in a free-flowing labour market, fluency in English is one of the most significant advantages for people of all ages to communicate and create opportunities for integration. Therefore, in addition to professional knowledge, each person needs to equip themselves with good communication skills in English to access employment opportunities in the global environment

1.2 Aims of the study

The aim of the study is to find out how task-based reading activities are used to improve vocabulary for freshmen at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy, discover freshmen’s attitude at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy towards task-based reading activities for enhancing vocabulary; accordingly, recommending some possible solutions for better learning and teaching task-based reading activities to enhance vocabulary for freshmen at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy.

1.3 The research questions

Based on the above aims, this research is designed to answer the following questions:

  • How are task-based reading activities applied in English lessons at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy?
  • To what extent can tasked-based reading activities enhance vocabulary for freshmen at College of Mechanics and Metallurgy?

1.4 Scope of the study

The objects of this research are 40 freshman students who are picked up randomly from ones who are learning at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy; 03 English teachers of the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy and 01 Head of English division. Time frame is 10 lessons with the main contents of task-based teaching in reading class to enhance vocabulary for freshmen at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy, Thai Nguyen Provi

1.5 The significance of this study

The second part is Development which is divided into three chapters. Chapter one provides the theoretical background on task-based methods and review of previous studies. The next chapter refers to the methodology of the study which described the participants and instruments, as well as procedures employed to carry out the research. Findings and discussion are followed in the next chapter by presenting and analyzing the findings that the researcher discovered from the data collected and raises some discussion related to the current situation of teaching vocabularies for freshmen at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy with taskbased reading activities.

2.1 Literature review

Theoretical background

Review of Previous studies

2.2 Research methodology

Research instruments

Procedure

Data analytical method

2.3 Findings and discussion

Introduction

Findings from questionnaires and interviews

Findings from observation

3. Conclusion 

Because of the restricted moment, understanding and size of a minor thesis, the author was unable to conduct the experiment on a bigger scale as well as being unable to teach the classes on my own or to observe many more lessons so that the findings might not be more or less accurate. In addition, the research topics (40 freshmen at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy) are not representative of all learners at the College of Mechanics and Metallurgy, so the findings may not be applicable to teaching accounting learners vocabulary.
