Research topic:
The impacts of MEMRISE mobile app on listening skill for non-english major students at a
private english center in ho chi minh city

Research aim

  • To assess the extent to which non-English major students perceive improvements in their English listening comprehension after using the Memrise app.
  • To investigate the specific challenges that non-English major students face when integrating mobile app-based listening practice into their daily routines.
  • To identify which specific features of the Memrise app are most effective in enhancing students' ability to understand native speakers

Research questions 

1. To what extent does the MEMRISE app enhance listening skills for students?
2. How do the students perceive the MEMRISE app in listening activities?

Methodology 

This study will adopt a mixed-methods approach.

  • Quantitative data will be collected after participants have used the Memrise app for at least one course term, and a questionnaire administered to approximately 20 non-English major students.
  • Qualitative data will include semi-structured interviews with around 6 students from different achievement levels.
  • The two datasets will be analyzed separately and then integrated to provide a comprehensive understanding of students' improvement in listening.

Your topic presents clearly about the site, IV and DV that we have learned from the first lesson. Moreover, your R.A, R.Q and Methods also are detailed in the way you mentioned concerning aspects.
Recommedation: Have you considered about indicating a specific level of students in your topic like grade 9 or grade 12, intermediate or advanced? I think it would be easier for you to demonstrate findings when you narrow down the age or level of participants.

Hi Thanh Phương,

Your topic is clear and doable, especially with a focused context (non-English majors at a private English center in HCMC) and a manageable sample size.
To sharpen the research questions, have you considered defining what aspect of “listening skills” you are focusing on (for example, comprehension of main ideas, details, or native-speaker speed)? This could make the findings more precise.

Hope this helps!
