I am impressed by the introduction of Ms. Dinh Tran Thuy Lieu in "The Impacts of Edpuzzle Mobile App on Listening Skills for Non-English Major Students at SaigonTech College."
1. I think this introduction is effective because it is well-organized and clearly structured into distinct sections, including background, problem statement, research aims, research questions, and significance. This logical progression helps readers easily understand the research context and purpose.
2. The background section successfully situates the study within current trends in language teaching, particularly learner-centered education and the increasing use of ICT and Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL). It also narrows the focus to listening skills, which are identified as a major challenge for EFL learners in Vietnam.
The problem statement is clearly presented by reviewing previous studies and highlighting a specific research gap: the lack of research on the use of interactive videos in mobile apps for improving listening skills among non-English majored students.
The research aim is explicitly stated: to explore and describe the impact of using the Edpuzzle mobile app on improving first-year students’ listening skills at SaigonTech College, as well as to investigate students’ perceptions of the app.
The research questions are focused, and closely aligned with the research aim.
The significance of the study is clearly explained in terms of both pedagogical value and contributions to future research.
3. For my own thesis, I would adopt the clear structure and the clarity of research questions.
