Engaging in research has been claimed to bring lecturers various benefits regarding their teaching and professional development. In Vietnam, lecturers have been mobilized to engage in research via various regulations and degrees by the Government. However, not many English lecturers engage in research. The current study was conducted with 56 English lecturers from Can Tho University to explore their perceptions and practices of research engagement. The results of the study revealed their positive but technical perceptions and moderate levels of research engagement. From the survey results, suggestions for promoting research engagement among English lecturers would be discussed.
