English language

It is said that English speaking plays a crucial role in this modern society. Nowadays, more and more non-native English people have studied English speaking for their better future in working. However, this skill is a big challenge for those who want to master it, particularly for English-majored students. For this reason, the research is conducted to figure out some difficulties that first-year students have faced in English speaking class. A questionnaire embraced 30 questions including questions and statements was used as the main instrument to collect the data. The participants were 100 English majored freshmen at Tay Do University, in Vietnam. The results pointed out English-majored freshmen had some common errors and difficulties with vocabulary, pronunciation, and psychology. It is hoped that this research can be helpful for both English-majored freshmen and non-English majored students at Tay Do University to realize their common errors in the process of improving and developing speaking skills.
