TẠI TRƯỜNG ĐẠI HỌC NGOẠI NGỮ, ĐẠI HỌC HUẾ / Trần Nhã Quân; Trương Viên Huế, 2021104tr. ; 28cm.Trường Đại học Ngoại ngữ - Đại học Huế The purposes of this mixed-methods study were to explore EFL students’ awareness
of the importance of conducting research at the undergraduate level and challenges faced by
students when conducting research were investigated. In addition, students’ attitudes
towards conducting research, students’ perceived practices of conducting research, including
the preparation and institutional support for conducting research. The population of the study
was EFL undergraduate students studying at the University of Foreign Languages, Hue
University. The sample consisted of 200 third-year and fourth-year students majoring in
English Language Studies and English Language Teaching. The data was collected through
structured questionnaires and in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The results show that
EFL students were aware of the importance of doing research at the undergraduate level and
showed a positive attitude towards participating in research as student researchers. In terms
of the EFL students’ perceived practices of conducting undergraduate research, two issues
were investigated. The first one was the preparation for students’ undergraduate research.
The findings reveal that the studied EFL students, with or without research experience, were
prepared in a variety of ways to conduct research at the university level. For students who
had the experience of doing research, they received considerable support from their
institution, especially from their supervisors, when doing research. However, the findings
suggest that the reality of conducting undergraduate research does pose some considerable
challenges for these students. The most frequently encountered difficulties included
choosing an interesting research topic, developing a theoretical framework relevant to the
research objectives, and identifying research gaps following a review of prior studies. These
findings imply that, in recognition of the value of undergraduate research, the institution
should expand the chances for all students to conduct research during their university years
and provide them with more substantial and immediate assistance throughout the research
process to assist them in overcoming obstacles and achieving satisfactory outcomes.
