Exploring the Effectiveness of Authentic Materials and Task-Based Learning Approaches in Enhancing English Language Skills and Motivation of Vietnamese EFL Learners: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Synopsis
Vietnamese EFL learners' English language skills and motivation were evaluated through an investigation into the effectiveness of task-based learning approaches combined with authentic materials. A quasi-experimental design was utilized, which included 100 participants from Vietnam's EFL learners. Participants were then divided equally into an experimental group (n=50) and a control group (n=50). The experimental group underwent instruction using task-based learning and authentic materials, while the control group utilized traditional teaching methods. Language skills and motivation levels of participants were measured using pre- and post-tests, both of which revealed remarkable improvements. The findings supported the use of authentic materials and task-based learning approaches for Vietnamese EFL learners, proving their efficacy for language acquisition.
