Investigating the impact of reading online newspapers and magazines on writing skills is essential at a rural university in the Mekong Delta, South of Vietnam. This research experiment, conducted over eight weeks, involved ten English majors from this institution's Faculty of Foreign Languages. The findings showed that all participants agreed that their writing skills improved when they applied this mode. However, they encountered several difficulties with English vocabulary and grammar, finding suitable newspapers for their level, and selecting ideas for their essays.

The research procedures were done by theoretically integrated methodologies. Our research findings show that many research projects on lotus culture have been conducted while those on lotus culture education for students remain limited, especially scientific research work on the model of lotus culture education for students. Thus, it is essential for scientific research to focus on lotus culture education for high school students through experiential activities.
