Abstract

Vocabulary plays an important role in English teaching and learning because it can stimulate students’ participation and help students improve their skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing. This study was conducted to determine how vocabulary is presented and what factors affect students' motivation in learning vocabulary lesson and thus, suggest some ways of improving the effectiveness of vocabulary teaching and learning at the University of Technology (TNU), Thai Nguyen, Viet Nam. The data was collected by using two research instruments, including questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that both lecturers and students found a lot of benefits from using techniques in presenting vocabulary such as visual aids and verbal means. However, there were some difficulties teaching and learning new words at TNU. The research is also believed to be a reliable source of reference for teachers to enhance the effectiveness of using techniques of presenting vocabulary. Hopefully, it will be the springboard for many further studies in the future in the same research field.
