Miêu tả: | M.A. Thesis. English Language Teaching Methodology -- University of Languages and International Studies. Vietnam National University, Hanoi, 2013 TOEFL IBT is becoming a prerequisite for students’ studying abroad in recent years. How to get high scores on TOEFL IBT is a much-discussed topic among test-takers and educators alike. Among four skills – speaking, listening, reading, and writing, the last serves as the most challenging skill according to many students. Composing a TOEFL IBT essay poses many difficulties for both experienced and inexperienced learners. The principal aim of this study, basing mainly on survey questionnaire and interview, is to find out common problems encountered by EQuest learners in TOEFL IBT Writing and simultaneously to investigate ways to solve these problems. Data were gathered from 88 TOEFL IBT learners at EQuest center over a four-week period. The data obtained from the questionnaire, augmented by interview suggest that (i) considerable linguistic difficulties faced by EQuest learners in TOEFL IBT essay writing task 1 involve expression, word choice, spelling, taking notes and how to relate the ideas from reading passage with those of listening passage; (ii) linguistic difficulties faced by EQuest learners in TOEFL IBT essay writing task 2 are brainstorming, word choice, academic vocabulary, language formality, expression, sentence structure, and spelling; (iii) some preferred suggested solutions to these above problems are providing writing templates, checking ideas for students before writing, giving in-class feedback, teaching extra vocabulary, and supply students with further listening and reading exercises to practice note taking skills (exclusively for TOEFL IBT task 1). Basing on the findings of the research, some practical suggestions for TOEFL IBT learners and teachers are put forward. The study, to some extent, hopefully contributes a small part to the realm of teaching and learning TOEFL IBT in general and at EQuest in particular. Electronic Resources |
