An increasing number of studies of teacher cognition in Vietnam have been conducted (Canh. 2011; Canh & Barnard. 2009; Hiep. 2007; Tran. 2015; Viet. 2013. 2014); however, these studies are targeted at more experienced teachers The influence of personal situational and sociocultural factors on vietnamese EFL novice teachers’ cognitions and practices , giving little attention to novice teachers.
