The impact of job-related projects on students' English-speaking skills at An Giang Vocational College
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
This study investigates the impact of job-related projects on the English-speaking skills among students at An Giang Vocational College. Action research was applied in this study. Participants were 70 freshmen from this vocational college. Data were primarily collected through a pre-test and a post-test on English-speaking skills. Additionally, a survey questionnaire was conducted to investigate participants' perceptions about the implemented approach. The results showed that participants’ English-speaking skills significantly improved, with the mean score increasing from 6.57 points in the pre-test to 7.73 points in the post-test. A t-test analysis (SPSS) revealed a statistically significant difference between the test mean scores. Additionally, the survey questionnaire indicated that participants highly valued the implemented approach in providing opportunities to use English in job-based situations and cultivate other skills essential for career environments. However, for better impacts on English-speaking performance and learning engagement among participants from vocational schools, the study offers recommendations for future research within the Vietnamese context and in other countries.
