LIMITATIONS AND FURTHER STUDY

3. Limitations and further study:

Although the researcher has made effort toward carrying out this study such as

the triangulation of data collection methods, namely survey questionnaires for learners,

due to the limitation of time, lack of resources and the researcher’s ability,

shortcomings are unavoidable. Firstly, the research has been carried out in a very small

scope. The number of students involved in the survey is still limited, so to some

extend, the findings may not be generalized to all students at Ly Thai To High School.

Secondly, the researcher only used survey questionnaire as the main instrument for data

collection. In order to make the obtained results more reliable, different instruments for

data collection should be applied.

To carry out better and more efficient study with large scope, surely the

researcher in the coming time the further research should invite more learners at other

levels to participate in the studies
