FACTORS AFFECTING NON-ENGLISH MAJOR STUDENTS' ENGLISH PROFICIENCY AT HOA BINH UNIVERSITY CURRENT SITUATION AND SOLUTIONS

Tóm tắt

This study explores the challenges and potential solutions for improving English language
proficiency among non-English major students at Hoa Binh University. Through an analysis of
current teaching practices, learner attitudes, and institutional structures, the research identifies
critical factors contributing to poor English outcomes. Key issues include limited classroom hours,
inconsistent entry-level proficiency, overcrowded classes, and a lack of motivation or clear learning
goals among students. The findings also highlight the inadequate alignment of teaching content with
students’ needs and interests, as well as insufficient opportunities for practical language use.
To address these challenges, the study proposes targeted solutions for both students and
teachers. For students, strategies include fostering motivation and promoting self-directed learning
with practical applications. For educators, recommendations emphasize differentiated instruction,
reforming assessment methods, and incorporating engaging and relevant content into lessons.
Comprehensive implementation of these measures can significantly improve the quality of English
education, aligning learning outcomes with national proficiency standards and preparing students
to thrive in a globally interconnected economy
