Ứng dụng công nghệ thông tin (call) trong giảng dạy ngữ pháp và từ vựng tại trường đại học ngân hàng thành phố Hồ Chí Minh
Các phương pháp truyền thống trong
giảng dạy ngữ pháp và từ vựng từ lâu vẫn
chiếm ưu thế trong nhiều lớp học ngoại
ngữ tại Việt Nam. Do đó, khóa học ứng
dụng Công nghệ thông tin (CALL) trong
đào tạo tiếng Anh đã được thực hiện để
kiểm chứng liệu phương pháp này có thể
mang lại những cải thiện tốt hơn về thành
tích và thái độ của người học hay không.
30 sinh viên năm thứ hai của một lớp chất
lượng cao tại Đại học Ngân hàng Thành
phố Hồ Chí Minh (BUH) đã tham gia vào
nghiên cứu này. Thông qua bảng câu hỏi
và phỏng vấn, các kết quả bước đầu cho
thấy cách tiếp cận CALL linh hoạt có thể
giúp thúc đẩy và nâng cao sự tự tin của
sinh viên trong học tập và sử dụng ngữ
pháp cũng như từ vựng
Ngoài ra, bản khảo sát và phỏng vấn cũng chưa thể đưa ra được con số chính xác về lượng từ vựng và khả năng sử dụng ngữ pháp của sinh viên. Do đó, cần có bài kiểm tra trước và sau khi ứng dụng CALL, sau đó so sánh kết quả của hai bài kiểm tra này để có thể đánh giá chính xác hiệu quả của phương pháp này. Cuối cùng, có thể tiến hành nghiên cứu tình huống có sử dụng CALL và các chiến lược đọc nhằm nâng cao kết quả thi cuối khóa của sinh viên. Nhóm nghiên cứu hi vọng sinh viên có thể ứng dụng một phương pháp linh hoạt hơn và có thể chủ động hơn trong quá trình học tiếng Anh của chính mình./. Tài liệu tham khảo: 1. Carey, J.

COMPUTER-ASSISTED LANGUAGE LEARNING (CALL) IN TEACHING GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY AT A BUH CLASSROOM NGUYEN QUANG NHAT LE THI THUY Abstract: It has been observed that traditional methods in teaching grammar and vocabulary are still dominant in many Vietnamese classes for years. Therefore, a course applying Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) was taught to find out whether this method may yield any improvements in learners’ achievement and attitudes. 30 Vietnamese sophomores of a High-Quality ClassatBanking University of Ho Chi Minh City (BUH) participated in the study. Through questionnaires and interviews, the responses suggested that CALL approach could be beneficial as this technique helped motivate and enhance students’ confidence in grammar and vocabulary learning.
