Abstract：
This research employed a quantitative research design targeting (1) investigating Vietnamese high-school students’ patterns of language mindset; and (2) examining the relationship between students’ mindsets and demographic variables, including genders, school groups, and grade groups. The data was collected through the language mindset inventory with 18 items, using a 6-Likert scale. The questionnaire was delivered to EFL students in public high schools via online forms. With 248 valid responses, statistical analysis was conducted to answer the research questions. The findings show that the EFL high-school students endorse a growth mindset, and there was no difference found in the relation between students’ language mindsets and their demographic features.
