CHAPTER 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1. Context of the study
4. Suggestions for further research
The study has opened some directions for future research.
(1) After the study has been conducted to first-year English majors at Hong Due university, it should be conducted to other first-year English majors at other universities as well. Then the effectiveness of using the software Pronunciation Power in teaching English pronunciation will be more accurately evaluated.
(2) Beside the software Pronunciation Power, there exists other software packages used to teach English in general and pronunciation in particular. The effectiveness of these packages should be tested so that they can be widely used in EFL teaching and learning.
Hopefully, this study and stibsequcnt research will result in better awareness and evaluation of applying software in teaching and learning English pronunciation, so that contribute to the renovation of EFL teaching methods at Hong Due University.
