Professional Development Workshop #9 will be organized at 1pm on this Thursday by Faculty of Languages – International Cultures at Room 607, Nguyen Van Trang Campus.

Workshop # 9 will begin with the presentation of Dr Nguyen Phuong Lien. Ms. Lien will continue the basics of using Stata for quantitative data analysis with further instructions on CFA, SEM analysis, CFA, Mediator testing and several other related tests. To benefit from this training, it is advisable that participants have Stata installed.

To kick off the practice series, Dr. Le Dao Thanh Bình An will briefly present research topics/ideas that she is interested in and also beginning to work on. Hopefully, Dr. An’s opening will invite abundant shares of research interests and/or concerns from all participants. Workshop # 9 will end, also hopefully, with a number of promising research topics and research teams so that together we can put all the theory we ‘learned�?in the past workshops into ‘practice�?and demonstrate the ability to ‘think the unthinkable�?

At the espisode 8, the audiences were introduced to the theories and their key concepts developed by Pierre Bourdieu and Basil Bernstein as well as their applications in research. Besides, people also had a chance to practice using STATA software to process data in quantitative research. The heated discussions on the topic among the audiences and the speakers made the atmosphere more exciting.

We hope that the knowledge and activities in this workshop will help the teachers and students to have more useful academic experiences, which can be applied in future research and to keeping passion for this field.

This special workshop is a chance for participants to welcome, listen to and interact with the two distinguished guest speakers from Australia, Dr Trì Hoàng Đăng and Dr Susan Germein.  

Dr Trì Hoàng Đăng will lead the first section (9:00 am- 11:00 am) with a DEEP analysis of the two important but challenging parts in research paper writing: The INTRODUCTION and DISCUSSION. The discussion here centres around concerns as well as common ‘traps�?novice researchers and postgraduate students often fall prey to while writing these sections. The ‘practical�?part of the section lies in the use of REAL articles and thesis papers to illustrate and support the analysis.  

Dr Susan Germein will attend the workshop via Google Meet with a reflection on her ‘journey of an unconventional thesis�?in the context of DIFFERENT CULTURE. For those of us who are new to, or curious about ETHNOGRAPHY, this is the chance to get to know what it is like taking a POST-QUALITATIVE approach to the research process, the ethical issues and other important decisions an ethnography researcher, including Dr Susan Germein may have to make along the ‘journey�? 

Speakers�?Bios:

Trì Hoàng Đăng obtained a PhD degree in Linguistics at the University of Newcastle and an MA degree in Applied Linguistics from Curtin University of Technology, Australia. His research interests are English-medium instruction (EMI), and foreign language education policy, and World Englishes. Dr Trì Hoàng Đăng has an extensive background in teaching, and his experience in research is evident in the number of publications. 

Susan Germein has a PhD in Education from Western Sydney University.
