ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the implementation of this thesis, I received plenty of enthusiastic help and support that guided and encouraged me to overcome all difficulties and finish this hard but meaningful time. Firstly, I would like to convey my sincere thanks to my supervisor Mrs. Nguyen Thi Huong, M.A, lecturer of the Faculty of Education and Foreign Languages, Vietnam National University of Agriculture, for her whole-hearted guidance and support. Without her valuable recommendations, this thesis cannot come to an end. Secondly, I sincerely thank all the Faculty of Education and Foreign Languages teachers, Vietnam National University of Agriculture, for their precious lessons during my four-year study, which have been the foundation of this research paper. Furthermore, I would like to acknowledge the encouragement and strong support from my beloved family, especially my mother.
