Abstract: This paper explores the Big-Five personality traits and their effects on communication skills amongst ethnic Khmer students in multicultural higher education in Vietnam. A total of 426 first-to-third year Khmer students were randomly sampled via a cross-sectional study. Instruments used in the study consist of Big Five Personality Factors and a communication skill questionnaire employing a Likert scale. The results reveal that when rating their personality, Khmer students rated Agreeableness as the highest strait and Extraversion as the lowest. Female students tended to be more oriented towards Agreeableness than their male fellows, while male students were recorded to be more focused on Emotional stability than females. Furthermore, significant positive correlations were found between personality traits and communication skills. Multiple regression analysis indicated personality characteristics accounted for 11.2 percent of variance in communication skills in which Extraversion, Conscientiousness and Openness to Experience directly affected the communication skills of ethnic Khmer students while Emotional Stability and Agreeableness did not. These results are interpreted within the context of educators in Vietnam developing a better understanding of ethnic Khmer students’ personality traits in predicting their communication skills within a learning setting to encourage and nurture student motivation and achievement.
