| Popis: | AbstractThe primary objective of this investigation is to attain a profound understanding of the favored English language acquisition strategies of self-identified extroverted learners in Vietnam. Employing a mixed-methods paradigm, the study used both survey questionnaires and qualitative interviews to gather data. The research participants, majoring in English, were instructed to self-determine their extroversion inclination based on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The sample encompassed 17 self-proclaimed extroverted students, with a deliberately selected subset partaking in the qualitative interview segment. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to understand extroverted students’ preferences for different strategies. The qualitative data were further analyzed through thematic analysis, providing comprehensive perspectives on the students’ experiences and proclivities. Findings revealed that extroverted students favored cognitive, compensatory and metacognitive approaches. The implications of this research bear significant importance for language education, particularly in regions where English proficiency is paramount for economic competitiveness and scholarly achievement. By discerning the preferred learning strategies of extroverted students, teachers can devise captivating lessons, administer targeted feedback and advocate efficacious techniques that nurture self-awareness, growth and evolution. This may culminate in a more personalized and effective language learning experience, intensifying motivation and success in language acquisition. The study contributes to the overarching knowledge and apprehension of language learning, offering valuable insights for future research in the discipline. |
