A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS ON PHONOLOGICAL FEATURES OF ENGLISH AND VIETNAMESE CONSONANT SYSTEMS.

Thi Huyen Trang Pham — 2025-04-15

This research presents a comprehensive contrastive analysis of the phonological features characterizing the consonant systems of English and Vietnamese. Through systematic examination, the study addresses significant gaps in current phonological research, particularly focusing on the distinctive characteristics of consonants in both languages within connected speech patterns. The investigation employs a detailed analytical framework to examine three primary aspects: phoneme classification, articulatory mechanisms, and broader phonological processes that govern consonant behavior in both languages. The research methodology incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approaches to analyze the structural differences and similarities between these two phonological systems. The findings reveal substantial contrasts, notably in the English language's more extensive inventory of consonant phonemes, including a rich array of fricatives, affricates, and complex consonant clusters that are not present in Vietnamese. Furthermore, the study illuminates crucial differences in phonotactic constraints and assimilation patterns between the two languages. These findings contribute significantly to our theoretical understanding of cross-linguistic phonological features and offer valuable insights for language teaching, speech therapy, and comparative linguistics. The research also provides a foundation for future studies in phonological typology and second language acquisition, particularly in addressing pronunciation challenges faced by learners of either language.

APPLYING THE SHADOWING TECHNIQUE TO ENHANCE SPEAKING PROFICIENCY AMONG ENGLISH MAJORS: OBSTACLES AND REMEDIES

Ánh Nguyệt Nguyễn — 2025-04-15

This research examines the efficacy of the shadowing strategy in enhancing speaking proficiency among third-year English majors at Hanoi Metropolitan University. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, to emphasize students' confidence, fluency, and pronunciation. Results indicate that although the majority of participants exhibited enhancements in fluency and pronunciation, difficulties remain. Primary challenges encompass restricted access to suitable resources, cognitive stress, and the struggle to keep a regular practice regimen. Furthermore, students underscored the necessity of consistent feedback to evaluate progress and target certain areas for enhancement. The difficulty of aligning with the natural tempo of native speakers frequently resulted in dissatisfaction and diminished motivation. In light of these findings, we advocate for organized, supervised shadowing sessions, the supply of varied, interest-aligned resources, and a comprehensive feedback mechanism. Customizing shadowing resources for varying competence levels and including other activities, such as role-playing, may further augment language acquisition. This study highlights the significance of organized support in optimizing the effectiveness of shadowing for enhancing speaking proficiency.

ROBUST STABILIZATION OF CONFORMABLE FRACTIONAL-ORDER ONE-SIDED LIPSCHITZ NONLINEAR SYSTEMS VIA OBSERVER-BASED CONTROL

Loan Vũ Thị Thu — 2025-04-15

This paper addresses the problem of robust stabilization for conformable fractionalorder nonlinear systems with one-sided Lipschitz conditions using observer-based control. Conformable fractional calculus is appropriate for a variety of real-world applications since it provides a more adaptable mathematical framework for explaining the dynamics of systems that display both integer and fractional-order behaviors. The key feature of this work is the use of the one-sided Lipschitz property, which relaxes the global Lipschitz condition, allowing for more general nonlinearities. By constructing an appropriate state observer, we estimate unmeasured states and develop a control law that guarantees asymptotic stabilization. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the observer and the controller are derived based on linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
