Abstract: Willingness to communicate (WTC) is a personality trait that specifies the likelihood of engaging in communicative activities when the chance occurs (McCroskey & Richmond, 1992). It has gradually evolved as a crucial notion for a more in-depth understanding of second language training. While some students enjoy engaging in communicative activities in the classroom, others try to avoid them as much as possible. The purpose of this study is to investigate to what extent Vietnamese EFL students are willing to speak in EFL classes and what factors affect their WTC. The survey questionnaires were distributed to gather data for the study. A total of 112 third-year non-English major students at a university in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam participated in this study. The results showed that the students’ WTC was just at the medium level and that communication readiness was strongly influenced by both individual and situational factors. |
