ABSTRACT
The current study sheds light on attitude which is considered one of the most key
factors affecting learners‟ achievement in foreign language learning. It can be seen
that attitude varies and different students lead different attitudes. Thus, this study
was conducted to examine attitudes of the first – year – Electrical Engineering
Technology students towards learning English listening at Hanoi University of
Industry. The 120 male students and 5 teachers involved in this study. Also,
questionnaire and interview were chosen as the instruments for data collection. In
the context of the study, it mainly focused on the influence of some determinant
factors (learners‟ factors, teachers‟ factors and learning environment‟ factors) on
students to evaluate their attitudes towards learning listening skills. Overall, the
findings indicated that the participants kept negative attitudes towards learning
English listening. Some possible causes accounted for their unfavorable attitudes
could be named as their disinterest, limited level of English, uncreative teaching
methods, poor learning conditions and inappropriate materials. Based on the
research findings, some recommendations were discussed to foster positive attitudes
towards learning listening skills.

CHAPTER 3: DATA ANALYSIS
This chapter of the thesis is the comprehensive analysis of the data collected from
the questionnaire conducted on 120 students at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering
Technology and the semi - structured interviews with 5 English teachers. The
analysis of the data is presented in two parts: the first part is the results of the
questionnaire for students and the second one is from the teachers‟ interviews.
3.1. Data analysis of the students’ questionnaire
The questionnaire was designed based on the theoretical framework on the
literature. It aimed to identify the students‟ attitudes towards learning English
listening. The internal and external factors which were suggested to affect students‟
attitudes were all taken into consideration when designing questionnaire. In detail,
internal factors pertained to the students‟ perception, interest and level of ability.
Then, external factors were comprised of teachers‟ factors and learning
environment‟s factors.
3.1.1. The influence of internal factors on students’ attitudes
The aims of this section were conducted to explore how the internal factors
consisting of students‟ perception, interest and level of ability affected students‟
attitudes to their learning of listening skills. The results indicated that these internal
factors created negative impacts on students‟ attitudes towards learning English
listening skills
that they would have low marks in listening; meanwhile, only 25.8% confirmed that
they felt satisfied with their performances in listening skills.
However, noticeably 70.9% of the participants disagreed that their friends learnt
listening skills better than them, compared with 29.1% of agreement. It is inferred
that difficulties in learning listening may be a common problem among students and
many students thought that their friends also had to face the same trouble in
learning listening skills.
In short, it is concluded that students‟ ability in learning listening was quite low and
they felt unconfident in listening lessons. Thus, obviously low level of proficiency
was a reason for students‟ unfavorable attitudes in their learning.
3.1.2. The influence of external factors on students’ attitudes
In this section, students‟ attitudes towards learning listening skills were elicited
through external factors which were associated with teachers‟ factors (teachers‟
behaviors and practices) and learning environment‟s factors (learning conditions
and listening materials)
