AN INVESTIGATION INTO HPUNI’S ENGLISH-MAJORED SENIORS’ SELF-STUDY SKILLS

Tóm tắt

Self-study or self-directed learning skills are undoubtedly
indispensable for students to sustain in modern times. The current article aims to
investigate a university’s English-majored seniors’ self-study skills in a course,
which greatly contributes to their success at university. To fulfill the research aim, a
questionnaire was sent to over 50 English-majored seniors of class K21.1 at the
Foreign Language Department at Haiphong university to collect data on five
components of self-study-skills: planning skills, implementing skills, reading-andhandling-document skills, time management skills, and self-assessment-and-selfimprovement skills. Research results reveal that most students perceived their selfstudy skills positively, especially in time management and self-assessment skills. The
results can contribute to shedding light on students’ self-study skills, which can raise
the participants’ awareness of their self-study skills, and possibly encourage relevant
educators to change their actions to help students improve their self-study skills.
