Nguyen Thi Thanh Tuyen — 2024-12-30

Supporting slow learners is a societal responsibility and an essential educator mission. Appropriate support helps slow learners improve their academic results and builds confidence and motivation for success in life. Despite numerous studies on slow learners, many aspects remain unexplored. In this research, we apply bibliometric analysis to evaluate the scientific outcomes of publications related to the study of slow learners in mathematics, indexed in the Scopus database. Two hundred fifteen publications were cited to analyze growth trends, contributions from authors, research organizations, co-authors in the field, and the development of research directions. The analysis results show that the first publications appeared in 1962, with the most substantial publication growth from 2018 to 2020. The United States, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, China, and Malaysia are the countries with the most publications in this research direction. Research cooperation in this field is not strong; studies are often regionally specific.

A STUDY ON EXTERNAL FACTORS MOTIVATING ENGLISH-MAJORED STUDENTS IN LEARNING ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS AT HUNG VUONG UNIVERSITY

Ngo Thi Thanh Huyen — 2024-12-30

Motivation has been proven to be an extremely important factor in inspiring learners of English as a foreign language (EFL). This paper aims to investigate environmental factors that motivate English-majored students to learn speaking skills. Data collected from questionnaires with 130 English majored-students and focused-group interviews with eight participants were thoroughly analyzed with the descriptive analysis in SPSS.26, and the thematic analysis method, respectively. The findings indicate that textbooks are the most motivated factor for English-majored students to acquire English speaking skills. Therefore, it is suggested that lecturers should integrate multimedia to make the learning experience more practical and enjoyable, provide students with clear instructions to help them generate ideas for the speaking topics, and get them more engaged. Moreover, the students are advised to develop self-learning skills, review course materials thoroughly, and use additional resources to enhance their textbook understanding. Furthermore, it is proposed that other researchers can use those findings as a basis to carry out research on motivation factors in different research contexts with larger populations.
