Integrating reading and writing through extensive reading / Jeongyeon Park.
// ELT journal 2016, Vol.70, N.3. Oxford University Press, 2015.P. 287-295. This study explores whether an extensive reading (ER) approach can enhance L2 learners’ writing performance in an English for Academic Purposes context. Two classes were compared in terms of writing improvement after one semester: a ‘traditional’ writing class primarily focused on writing practice and grammar instruction, and an ER class in which students engaged in ER in and out of class, along with completing reading-related writing activities. Essay tests were administered at the beginning and the end of the semester to measure students’ writing improvement. The study found that although both classes demonstrated writing improvement after one semester, students who were exposed to more input through ER gained significantly higher holistic scores in their post-essay test. In addition, analytic evaluation found that the ER class improved more than the traditional class in the specific areas of content, organization, vocabulary, language use, and mechanics.

Language background and learners’ attitudes to own-language use / Paweł Scheffler, May Olaug Horverak, Weronika Krzebietke, Sigrunn Askland.
// ELT Journal Volume 71, Issue 2, 1 April 2017 2017.p. 197–217. Learners’ language background is one of the factors which may influence the amount and functions of own-language use in English instruction. This article reports a study in which a group of almost 400 Polish and Norwegian secondary school learners of English were asked how their own languages are used in the classroom, how they use them when they study English at home, and, finally, how they assess their usefulness in relation to various aspects of learning English. In the study, learners’ behaviour and beliefs were investigated through a questionnaire and through interviews. The results indicate that Polish and Norwegian secondary classrooms are in many respects similar concerning how the students’ own languages are used. Also, there were few significant differences between Polish and Norwegian students’ attitudes to whether own-language use is useful for learning English. More significant differences were found in how these two groups of learners use their own languages to support the learning of English at home.

Sử dụng ngôn ngữ hiệu quả trong diễn thuyết: Nghiên cứu trường hợp = Speeches with effective language use: A case study/ Nguyễn Thị Hằng Nga.
// Ngôn ngữ và đời sống. 2014, Số 11 (229). 2014tr.72-77 Public speaking is an important and practical skill. It also requires a lot of techniques to make successful speeches. We conducted a case study on a selected speech delivered by Hillary Clinton better understanding of language use and clearer identification of what make it effective. In terms of content, the speaker chose to say what the aidience likes (praise, attention, sympathy,etc.) and what the audience wants (health, money, huosing, jobs, education, economy, security, amongst others). In terms of rhetoric, the speaker used rhetorical questions, contasts and repetition. These techniques, which were interwoven and repeatedly used, not only functioned as strong links between ideas but also aroused great excitement among the listeners, helping them quickly and easily catch important messages the speaker intended to convey. These techniques are therefore important for language learner to acquire, which is an essential pedagogical implication of this analytical paper.

Thực trạng sử dụng ngôn ngữ của người Hoa ở Kiên Giang./ Hoàng Quốc
// Ngôn ngữ. 2014, Số 4 (299). 2014tr. 45-58. This paper describes the language competence and language use of the Hoa/ Chinese in Kien Giang province. The survey was carried out by using observation and questionnaire with 212 Hoa/Chinese in Kien Giang province. And the results of the study reveal that: 100% Hoa/Chinese use Vietnamese fluently because they have lived in Vietnam for a long time, and they use Vietnamese in most domains of communication while they use their mother tongue, the Chinese dialect, only at home but not regularly and in their community activities. The number of people who speak Chinese is declining; the role and function of Chinese dialect are much shrunk. Thus, Chinese will be lost in the near future if no measures are taken to encourage its use.
