Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum):
By conducting a qualitative research inviting the voice of university students and recent graduates regarding the teaching and learning English at tertiary level in Vietnam, this research aims to investigate the issue of enhancing English skills for university students in Vietnam. It is suggested that developing foreign language skills has become one of the key factors helping Vietnamese higher education faster its process of internationalization and integration into the international academic community. However, with the current language teaching practices, the task of enhancing language capability for university students does not seem to be implemented successfully. There is a need to reconsider the aim and the focus of language teaching in language non-specialized universities, to create more cultural oriented and interactive language activities, and to allocate more time and resources to better address various needs in language teaching and learning at tertiary level.
