Nowadays, mankind enters the 21st century, knowledge is increasingly expanding Especially, our country is on track to integration, industrialization and modernization, to the strongly influence that our country requires a large number

of people may have had moral and knowledge In the current period when our country was applied education credits of colleges and universities education in nationwide Self-study time at home and study group more than students learning

in the classroom It helps students maximize all aspects such as positive, self -discipline, initiative, creativity it fostering student self- study ability of practice, the passion for learning and research Thus, the self-study plays a very important role in improving the academic achievement of students

Albert Einstein said: “I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.” Even a genius like Albert Einstein also assessment about self- study, environmental science demonstrate student learning

is important , study habits are the foundation of educational achievement Therefore, the self-study is a critical component of every student in general and all people in particular

When studying in college or university, some students aware the importance when they have a sense of self-study or study group, and have many people to achieve success

However, everybody didn’t always have good conditions for correctly self-study To arrange a reasonable time, and solve this problem we need to support from school

In the recent seminar, the issues related to self-study is more increasingly being mentioned, the question to ask "How to encourage students to study and act more aggressively to achieve higher performance?"," how did school management for self-study activities of the students?" "How did teaching methods will

change?" the solution of which is: innovative teaching methods will change traditional teaching, besides change management, organizational promote positive self- study of each student

For that reason, we choose research topics are " The effect of self study on study achievement of the third year English majored students at Can Tho University in 2013" as a topic for study subject written materials science to find some good methods in study

1 What is self study?

2 What are advantages of self study?

3 How can we succeed in self study?

Definition of self study

We found some statements about self study of Tien Giang University website

Psychologist N.ARubakin said that self study is getting knowledge by self-taught Self- learning is a process of knowledge, is experiences about social, historical practices which was establishing by personal relationships

In the book “Logical Learning”, R.Retke editor said: “Self study is completed the duty which is not had in the teaching program at school” According to the author Le Khanh Bang, self study is using the intellectual, thoughtful, psychology to research any science fields

The advantages of self study

In one study of Forestry University’s group of students about factors affecting students’ academic grade point average stated that “In the fact, in the learning process of the students, the average academic scores are driven by many factors Among them there are some important factors is academic efforts of students themselves expressed through time of study, self study, participate in academic clubs, time to the library to study and research more documents”

According to Le Van Luong, Self Study – Key Success, “Self study not only help students to constantly improve the quality and efficiency of learning while sitting in school, but also equip them to capacity, interest, habits, with regular self-study often methods and lifetime Thereby helping them to exercise virtues of self-reliance, less dependent on others, special is teachers in the school Since then the quality of their learning will be assessed more substantive It can be said self study experiences of them usually transmitted by adults, due to recognize the relationship between teachers and students or self experience, know from books, newspapers… Although experiences did not have system properties, sometime it is imprecise, but it still basis, condition very necessary for every activities of students The more experience, there is the more affective activity.” Besides, self study also helps students get high result in exams “self study before test will help we muster mind, time for review, complement gap of knowledge, discovery research many things interesting, find the method Self study help our memorize knowledge of each lesson, partial, long, deep and detailed and logic This thing helps student exercise better and high result”

According to Nguyen Thi Lan Huong’s essay in National University Hanoi, she mentioned that self study is root of creation, people will progress further

Methods of self study

So selfstudy is necessary to study alone or not? According Dr Chu Hao -Deputy Minister of Environment Science Subjects answered the question about self his experience in self study “Needing speak clearly about self study, people usually think self study means study alone No, the best self study is team work In

my opinion, I still read everyday and never bring work from office go home that just refer and read Whenever I want know deeply, I am requested by myself to write a text about that question Therefore I must find document to read, ask the ideas deeply to understand the matter more deeply”

Another way improving ability was mentioned by Dr Tran Khai Dinh of Television College: The first importance is students must specify purpose of study The second, you need find self study methods appropriate The third, you should

be patient listen carefully and take note Finally, students should build a system skill by themselves

Self study activity of students can occur at anytime, anywhere Whenever students can use cognitive abilities of them to carry out research activities, discover self-aware, standing in front of all phenomena of the objective world

The awareness of self study is the main factor and not to lack the introduction of the teacher or professor The teaching is outside factor The teachers have important role in the self study of students They help their students

to determine the purpose to study and change the methods to teach to be suitable with the self study of their students The teacher should increase working in group

to develop the awareness self study of the students

In conclusion, we found some advantages from succeeds of people who had awareness on self study Besides, we got some experiences of the self study and some the methods to improve ability of self study Thus, we decided to choose the

topic “The effect of self study on study achievement of the third year English majored students at Can Tho University in 2013”
