Abstract
This research aimed to 1) determine the efficiency of learning management based on the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach integrated with online exercises to develop Vietnamese listening skills according to the 80/80 criterion, 2) compare the post-instructional Vietnamese listening comprehension skills between the experimental and control groups, and 3) examine student satisfaction with the learning management. This quasi-experimental research employed a sample of 134 students enrolled in the Vietnamese for Communication course during the second semester of the 2024 academic year, selected by purposive sampling. The sample was divided into an experimental group of 67 students taught through the CLT approach with online exercises and a control group of 67 students taught using conventional methods. The research instruments consisted of 1) learning management plans based on the CLT approach with online exercises, 2) a Vietnamese listening comprehension test, and 3) a student satisfaction questionnaire. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the independent samples t-test.
The findings revealed that: 1) the efficiency of the learning management was 86.23/78.10, which met the established criterion; 2) the experimental group's post-instructional Vietnamese listening comprehension skills were significantly higher than those of the control group at the .05 significance level; and 3) students' overall satisfaction with the learning management was at the highest level.
