ABSTRACT

Vietnam has deeply integrated into regional and international communities. As a result, English has become increasingly important because it’s widely used in areas such as commerce, economics, science, and technology, and is a common requirement in human resource recruitment, especially in foreign companies and organizations. For many years, foreign language learning has become increasingly popular and is now a compulsory subject in universities in Vietnam. Despite significant achievements, the quality of non-specialized English teaching at universities in Vietnam still faces many limitations. This situation requires appropriate solutions to enhance quality.
