Tóm tắt

Tóm tắt

Đã có nhiều nghiên cứu tập trung tìm hiểu việc người học ngoại ngữ sử dụng từ vựng đa dạng và từ vựng bậc cao (từ vựng ít phổ biến) trong bài viết tiếng Anh của họ. Tuy nhiên, từ vựng phổ biến (high frequency words) như các động từ have, get, make, v.v.  ít được nghiên cứu hơn, mặc dù chúng xuất hiện thường xuyên và chiếm đại đa số từ vựng trong các bài viết (Nation, 2013). Vì vậy, nghiên cứu này tìm hiểu sinh viên Việt nam học ngoại ngữ sử dụng động từ phổ biến MAKE như thế nào trong bài viết tranh luận tiếng Anh của họ. Phần mềm miễn phí AntConc (Anthony, 2020) được sử dụng để phân tích các dạng sử dụng của động từ MAKE và tần suất sử dụng của chúng trong 200 bài luận được sinh viên viết cho các bài kiểm tra định kỳ ở ba lớp học kỹ năng viết Tiếng Anh. Cách dùng của động từ MAKE trong bài viết của sinh viên thu được từ phần mềm AntConc được phân loại theo mô hình của Altenberg và Granger (2001). Kết quả cho thấy sinh viên dùng động từ MAKE với các cấu trúc chỉ nguyên nhân (causative uses) và kết hợp MAKE với các danh từ khác (delexical uses) thường xuyên nhất; sinh viên cũng mắc nhiều loại lỗi sai khi sử dụng động từ MAKE trong bài viết. Các kết quả nghiên cứu này có thể làm căn cứ cho những đề xuất quan trọng về việc phản hồi bài viết của giáo viên và giảng dạy kỹ năng viết nói chung.
