Students’ Perceptions of Active Learning in Introduction to Literature

Abstract

There is a growing interest in active learning as a shift from traditional lecturing to improving student-centred learning in English. However, in the Vietnamese context of teaching and learning at tertiary levels, little research has examined students’ perceptions of active learning in approaching Introduction to Literature. This study is therefore aimed to look into this area of interest. Participants in this study were 94 students from junior and seniors majoring in high-quality programs at a university in the Mekong Delta. Data were collected from questionnaires. The findings show that students had positive perceptions of active learning in studying this course. Implications for teaching and learning this course are made.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0471/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Exploring Vietnamese EFL Students' Perceptions towards Literature Courses in English Studies Program

“…Despite the importance of literature in language learning, limited research specifically examines EFL students' perceptions of literature courses in the Vietnamese context. Additionally, the existing literature tends to focus on the perceptions of literature courses from the perspective of teachers or a broader range of students rather than specifically EFL students (Al-Matrafi, 2022;Amalyah, 2021;Bloemert et al, 2019;Chi, 2022;Le et al, 2022;Lien, 2014). Therefore, this proposed study would aim to fill the gap in literature by exploring the perceptions of literature courses among Vietnamese EFL students in the English Studies Program.…”
