EFL STUDENTS' AWARENESS AND CHALLENGES OF CONDUCTING RESEARCH: AT UNIVERSITY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES, HUE UNIVERSITY : NHẬN THỨC CỦA SINH VIÊN VỀ VIỆC NGHIÊN CỨU KHOA HỌC VÀ NHỮNG KHÓ KHĂN TRONG QUÁ TRÌNH THỰC HIỆN NGHIÊN CỨU TẠI TRƯỜNG ĐẠI HỌC NGOẠI NGỮ, ĐẠI HỌC HUẾ / Trần Nhã Quân; Trương Viên Huế, 2021104tr. ; 28cm.Trường Đại học Ngoại ngữ - Đại học HuếThe 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.
