Abstract

Corpora usage has been increasingly employed in facilitating specialized English for students in English-for-specific-purposes classes. This paper focuses on the application of a corpus-based approach as a supplementary method to traditional ones in instructing legal English vocabulary in terms of its meaning and collocations to law students in Vietnam. To achieve this aim, a group of 29 students of the experimental group was assigned to corpus-based work along with a traditional teaching method, while 27 students in the control group experienced the sole later one in legal English classes during 15 weeks. The pedagogical experiment, as well as the assessment and scoring criteria, were discussed and presented at the beginning of the course. Participants’ tests, survey questionnaires, and focus-group discussions were utilized as the data collection instruments to ensure triangulation and a multidimensional analysis of the research issue. Results demonstrated that the experimental group performed much better than the control group in terms of vocabulary understanding and interpretation, as well as collocations. Students of the treatment group also showed positive attitudes, acknowledging the potential benefits of the corpus-based approach for language-related enhancement in their future profession.

Abstract

The primary focus of this study was to examine the effects of flipped classrooms on students’ academic achievement in legal English learning context at Hanoi Law University. To achieve the aim, fifty second-year students participating in the study were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught legal English with the flipped learning approach while traditional teaching method was applied to the control group. A pre-test and a post-test were administered to both groups to measure the impacts of flipped classrooms on students’ academic achievement in legal English. The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences in the means of the achievement test attributed to teaching methods in favour of the experimental groups. Also, survey questionnaires were administered to the students in the experimental group to identify their perceptions of the application of flipped classrooms on their legal English learning performance. The data showed that the majority of the students considered flipped classroom to be effective. It is hoped that the findings encourage instructors of English to use modern teaching strategies, in particular, flipped classroom strategy to improve the English teaching and learning process.
