English Language Learning and Teaching

Pronunciation is seen as the most important part of communication skills which contributes to the success of language learners in their studying and career as well as the success of the teaching process of teachers. Unfortunately, English-majored students, especially English-majored juniors usually face some difficulties in speaking English. Consequently, this research entitled “An investigation into the factors causing difficulties in pronouncing of English-majored sophomores at Tay Do University” is conducted to figure out some common factors which are causing problems in speaking that these English-majored students have encountered. The participants of this research are 60 English-majored sophomores of two English classes 15A, and 15B at Tay Do University. The main research instruments which will be delivered to collect the data are questionnaires, interview papers, and observations. This is a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. Based on these difficulties, English learners can find suitable learning ways to improve their pronunciation skills. Besides, understanding students' learning difficulties may also enable teachers to help students develop effective learning strategies and ultimately improve their English pronunciation abilities. The results of this study may also be useful for those who are interested in this field.
