A Sample Research Proposal
1. Full name : Phung Dieu Thuy
2. Field of study : Linguistic
3. Course : 31
4. Thesis title : A research for the difficulties of listening to the TOFEL iBT lessons .
ABSTRACT Nowadays, English has become an international language all over the world. Many people have learnt it as the second language after their mother tongue . Thus for Vietnam, English has gradually become the most widely used language in all kinds of international relations. Studying English in a country where English is considered as foreign language, we do not have many people who speak native English and we are not used to speaking as well as listening native English daily. But teaching writing is easier than teaching listening . In writing, words are neatly separated with spaces. Speech, however, is much more messy. People don't make a pause after every word — if they did, they would sound like robots. On the other hand, for a long time, English teachers did not pay a lot of attention to the training of listening. In high school English teaching, even in public English teaching in university, listening training has been a weak point. How to increase the ability in listening to obtain the high score in the examination has been the problem of common concern of many students . As a student, I have been studied English for seven years. In Thai Nguyen University where I am studying, listening is one of four basic skills that we have to improve in order to become a translator or a teacher . When practised this skill, I had recognized that not only I am, who have problems with listening to the TOEFL iBT lessons but also many other students. This is the reason why I choose “ The difficulties of listening to the TOEFL iBT lessons ” as my study. I hope that the awareness of my study will be useful not only for students in particular but also for the teacher .
