ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I have learnt, and experienced to become an autonomous learner throughout
my PhD course. I believe that this precious experience will help me with my
teaching process. Without my supervisors’, lecturers, colleagues, students’,
friends and familys help, encouragements, and suggestions, the present thesis
would not have succeeded.
First of all, I would like to express my deeply sincere gratitude to my two
supervisors: Dr. Trương Bch and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Đỗ Minh Hùng for their early
suggestion of the topic, invaluable guidance, support and sincere advice throughout
my PhD journey. Both of them have supplied a large amount of their expert
knowledge to me and have helped me to change track completely to finish my thesis.
I am also heavily in debt to the staff of Hue University of Foreign
Languages: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trn Văn Phước, Dr. Bo Khâm, Assoc. Prof. Dr.
Phm Th Hng Nhung, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trương Viên, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phm
Hoài ơng, Dr. Tôn Nữ Như Hương who provided me with critical, useful
feedback to help me conduct my thesis better. I would also like to thank Assoc.
Prof. Dr. Lê Văn Canh for his early advice and early suggestion of the title.
I also gratefully acknowledge my colleagues as well as my students in the
Faculty of Foreign Language Education at Dong Thap University who assisted,
understood, and supported me through my thesis.
My special thanks to my Mum, my husband, my brothers’ family, and my
friends for their love, encouragement, and being with me along my PhD course.
