ABTRACT In the four skills of English, speaking skills are considered the most important When you learn any language, what you aim to is how to communicate naturally, fluently with indigenous people Maybe you have good writing skills because you have a strong grasp of grammar and vocabulary, but your reflection is poor Some common causes for Vietnamese people who have difficulty in speaking English are afraid of communication, lack of training environment, lack of vocabulary, poor grammar etc Nowadays, English is included in the curriculum from primary school The reality, you are always taught by passive methods under the guidance of teachers Therefore, you learn English from grade to grade 12 with the aim of passing a written test in school and college exams Students learn grammar and vocabulary, practice reading texts in books So they have less chance to practice speaking Currently, a number of secondary and high schools switch the test method from writing to oral exam some subjects, including English However, students deal most with rote learning without understanding anything The situation lasted up to university make poor English speaking skills Because of the lack of thorough training in speaking skills, most first-year students have problems communicating in English For the above reasons, a study of the difficulties that first-year international students encounter in the process of practicing English speaking skills at TMU University is implemented This study aims to find some difficulties and solutions to overcome to improve speaking skills for students, to help students confidently communicate in class as well as in daily life and further work ii1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the process of completing this thesis, I have received a lot of help from

English as a foreign Tiếng Anh ngoại ngữ language ii4 LIST OF FIGURES AND CHARTS ii5 CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW OF THE SUTYDY 1.1 Rationale English is becoming more and more important in today's life English is a global language with more than 53 countries used and the official language of the EU For Vietnam, a country in the era of global development and integration, English has become increasingly essential than ever English exists in all different professions such as business, technology, medicine, import, and export etc English decides 50% success in your work, especially foreign companies, you will need a common language to exchange Employers will hire a candidate who has excellent English skills instead of an English proficient candidate, which will determine your future and future work Moreover, it's great when you're good at all English skills: listening speaking, reading, writing This will make you stand out in your work and life Opportunity to come to you more, you have the opportunity to access more sources of knowledge 55% of websites in the world write in English, 95% of the articles are collected at the US Science Information Institute written in English Many great works of the world such as the works of George Orwell or Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte will give you the feeling that translation texts not bring Today English is used in commerce more and more widely As TMU, it is even an international training department, a faculty affiliated with many major universities abroad The use of English by international education students is not as good as expected Communication skills are seen as essential skills when you learn any language, which is used daily in your life, study and future work The most difficult is for freshmen when they are not familiar with the university curriculum as well as the teaching method Mostly in high school, students have almost no chance to practice speaking English, but only focus on grammar and vocabulary for the final exam The reason why make students afraid to speak, afraid to say wrong or fewer reflexes etc All of these factors make it difficult for students to speak English when they go to college This makes it ii6 difficult for students to learn in the classroom, especially when there are subjects to speak English Therefore, in this study, I will study “ A study on the difficulties in learning English speaking skills faced by the first-year international students at TMU and possible solutions” to improve students' speaking skills 1.2 Previous studies According to my research, there are a few research topics about difficulties in practicing English speaking Some topics refer to non-English major students I have consulted some studies in Vietnam in particular and in the world in general on this research topic, for example: In Ur, P (1996) research studies, he pointed out that there are four factors that make it difficult to practice speaking: students often worry about mistakes, fear of being scolded, shy; students themselves have no effort; uneven participation in a class, some participants are enthusiastic while the rest not say anything; they are afraid to speak another language, they tend to like to speak their mother tongue because it is easier Lukitasari (2003) research has shown that learners not improve their speaking skills because they not learn three important elements in speaking, namely vocabulary, grammar and phonics According to the study of Lawtie (2004), the difficulties of speaking are affected by emotional state They are dominated by emotions like unconfident, shy, anxious, nervous If they not believe in themselves, this will become a big problem for them Therefore, emotional factors become one of the important factors to consider when communicating with people who have difficulty speaking In addition, Rababa’h (2005) he indicates that this difficulty comes from themselves, teaching strategies, teaching programs and living environment In other words, they have no motivation to learn English or they have not felt that this is an important thing Hinkel (2005) stated that problems that occur when communication is possible because they not understand the meaning of the word, not know how to use it ii7 and cannot express their meaning This prevents the communication process from becoming successful According to Yunita (2014), she said that some of the problems students face when speaking English are pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, motivation, anxiety and embarrassment It is these factors that hinder students' English speaking process The author studied a number of subjects who encountered this problem in learning to participate in difficult to learn English and she realized that these students could not speak English fluently According to the study of Nauli (2014), there are three factors that influence the process of learning English It's cultural difficulties (including social acceptance and English status), English difficulties (including elements problem and personal problem) and communication problems (self-confidence and speaking opponent) These objective and subjective factors were studied by him at the national university in Jambi In Mustafa Mubarak Pathan (2014) research studies about ” An Overview of Major Difficulties Faced by the Libyan EFL Learners in Speaking Skill”, He pointed out several causes of difficulty in practicing speaking skills, such as: pronunciation, the use of adjective, the use of prepositions , the use of idioms, grammatical errors , semantic errors, other problems ( lack of vocabulary, fear / embarrassment while communicating, lack of interest and motivation, lack of practice,lack of environment for practice, …), influenced by mother tongue He gave the reasons for the above reasons: “Their failure to recognize this is primarily because of the failure on the part of their teachers to make them understand this fact at the very early stage of their learning And this failure on the part of the teachers is because of the facts that most of the EFL school teachers in Libya are neither trained properly for this reason nor are their skills upgraded.” In Samira Al Hosni (2014), she lists three main difficulties when speaking English, they are linguistic difficulties (students find it difficult when they lack vocabulary, some students have said: “We want to speak, but we don’t know the word” or “We not know how to say it” Although the teacher has been teaching grammar for a long time, students still can’t say short sentences), mother tongue ii8 use, and inhibition (students are scared of making mistakes in front of the crowd, which is why they don't say in class They said "They will laugh at us if we make mistakes") Although there were many people working on speaking skills, the truth is that the number of students who speak English confidently is still small It is because of the above difficulties that are repeated but not completely ended so I chose to study this topic 1.3 Aims of the study This study was conducted to understand why the freshman students of TMU's International Training Faculty had difficulty learning English speaking skills After identify difficulties, I will give some solutions that correspond to those difficulties to improve students' speaking skills Based on previous research, I hope this research will help first-year international students at TMU improve their difficulties in practicing speaking skills Since then speaking skills of students can be improved to serve for classroom learning as well as in life 1.4 Research subjects This study was carried out with 100 students in the Tourism and Service Administration major of International Training Faculty TMU Specialization Tourism and Service Administration has a total of more than 200 students, but due to time constraints, I focused on the difficulties that 100 students encounter when learning to speak English Students are exposed to many different ways of teaching in different schools, so each person's ability is different Therefore, the results obtained from the study will be the most accurate and realistic results 1.5 Scope of the study The International Training Faculty at TMU has many different majors However, due to limited time and to get the most accurate results, I choose to narrow down the scope This is specialized Tourism and Service Administration Currently, this major has more than 200 students I will survey 100 students in this field ii9 For the purpose of finding out the difficulties that students encounter when learning to speak English, research will be done to find the purpose above I hope these studies can help them identify difficulties and implement solutions to improve 1.6 Research methodology According to C.R.Kothari, research method is defined that the methodology refers to a systematic method that includes problem making, hypothesis formation, data collection, analysis and making conclusions to a certain generalization for a number of the theory given In the methodology, there are qualitative and quantitative methods However, with the study based on the number of such students, I decided to choose a qualitative method to this research C.R.Kothri wrote: "Qualitative research, on the other hand, is concerned with qualitative phenomenon, i.e., phenomena related to or involving quality or kind" In this method, we are interested in the reason and thinking of the object studied Qualitative methods are implemented in many different ways such as questionnaires, interviews, observations etc In order to bring the most objective results, I have used two methods which are questionnaires and interview With the combination of these two methods, I hope to bring together results in many aspects 1.6.1 Instruments 1.6.1.1 Questionnaires The study was conducted at TMU This research is based on questionnaires This is a great support tool for collecting qualitative information, which saves time to collect and analyze data In this method, the questionnaire will be given to students with pre-existing questions and answers Students will read and answer questions according to the form Using this questionnaire to find out the level of some difficulties in speaking English Also, that uses qualitative methods to investigate the frequency and abilities of students With this method, we will have an accurate view of students' thoughts and opinions The questionnaire was designed for 100 first-year international students at TMU, majoring in Tourism and Service Administration The goal of the questionnaire is to understand the difficulties, causes and solutions to improve ii10 A study how to improve English speaking skills of TMU University's International students A study the difficulties faced by TMU University second-year international students while learning to speak English I hope that future research will overcome and supplement what is missing in my research The following studies will find difficulties and solutions in a more objective way to improve the speaking skills of TMU University students In addition, I also hope that from these studies, students can compare and apply suggested solutions for students to study better 41 CONCLUSION In comparison with the initial goal, research has achieved the following achievements: • Research has found out the difficulties faced by first-year students specialized in Tourism and Service Administration of International Training Faculty at TMU University when learning English speaking skills • Research has provided some solutions to overcome these difficulties From the difficulties and solutions given above, the author hopes that students can overcome their limitations and can apply some suitable solutions to them This will help students to improve their speaking skills and can confidently communicate both in learning and life Based on the results of the study, the difficulties and solutions have been shown in detail for TMU students Because of the limited time, the study was conducted only with 100 students Research results may be more objective if implemented with more students Furthermore, future studies may use the results of this study and develop more broadly to produce accurate results, I hope the following studies will complement the shortcomings and promote better The author hope that the following studies will continue to study more carefully about the difficulty of English speaking students Since then students have more objective information on this issue 42 REFERENCES I Books Aftat, Mokhtar, (2008), Motivation and Genuine learning Bachman, L., & Palmer, A S (1996) Language Testing in Practice Oxford:
