Tóm tắt

This pre-experimental study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design to examine the effect of integrating local cultural elements into vocabulary instruction for 30 eleventh-grade students at a Sports Gifted School in Vietnam. Over a 10-week intervention based on the Grade 11 Global Success textbook, a range of local cultural items and activities was incorporated into Units 6 and 10.local culture items and activities were embedded into units 6 and 10 (lesson Getting started, Speaking, and Communication and Culture/CLIL). Data were collected through a 20-item vocabulary test administered before and after the intervention, as well as through semi-structured interviews with five students. For the quantitative data, a paired-samples t-test was conducted using SPSS to compare students’ vocabulary performance before and after the intervention, revealing a statistically significant improvement (p < .001). The thematic analysis of interview responses indicated that cultural integration fostered greater motivation, confidence, and word retention by linking new terms with familiar contexts and interactive tasks. Some challenges, including long and limited opportunities for oral practice, were also reported. Overall, the study highlights the pedagogical value of embedding local culture in vocabulary lessons and suggests directions for future research with larger and more diverse samples.
