Quantitatively, the present study was carried out in a Vietnamese university to investigate perspectives on reading-while-listening strategy (RWL) among 680 non-English-majored students. A questionnaire adapted from Billy (2010) was delivered to the selected samples for 2 weeks. SPSS (version 20) was run for descriptive statistics (mean score, standard deviation) to examine their perspectives on RWL. Findings showed that reading tapescript while listening is of great importance to help students enhance their reading skills. Furthermore, reading the tapescript before the day of the classroom is really an accurate measure of students’ reading rate in English. Recommendations, limitations, and conclusions for further research are discussed.
