The effects of local culture integration on English-speaking skills of grade 7 students in rural Vietnam
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
This quasi-experimental study investigates the effects of integrating local culture into English-speaking instruction on the speaking skills of 30 seventh-grade students at a rural secondary school in Bac Lieu province, Vietnam. The 12-week intervention was integrated into the English 7 textbook and included four culturally integrated units. Quantitative data were collected from pre- and post-speaking tests assessed across four dimensions, namely content, vocabulary, grammar, and a combined fluency- pronunciation criterion, while qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with six students. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in students’ overall speaking performance, particularly in content development and vocabulary use. In addition, qualitative evidence indicated perceived improvements in speaking fluency and increased learner confidence in culturally related speaking tasks. Nevertheless, students showed a preference for familiar cultural contents and experienced relatively slower development in grammatical accuracy and pronunciation in unfamiliar speaking contexts. These findings suggest that integrating local culture can effectively promote both linguistic development and cultural awareness in rural English as a foreign language contexts. The study highlights the pedagogical value of culturally responsive teaching in English as a foreign language settings and calls for further research with larger samples and diverse educational contexts.
