ABSTRACT
In the globalization trend today, for many countries foreign languages are becoming more and more crucial. In Vietnam, English is a compulsory subject at school and it is also an official language commonly used to communicate with foreigners. Having good English benefits employees at work, especially at foreign companies, and accelerates the country in social and economic development. It clearly shows the roles in most aspects of life from construction to health, education, economics and politics - defense. Nevertheless, as it is not the second language, there are still many people who do not seriously take it into consideration to concern it except those who really need the language as a requirement from their jobs. Significantly, for students, studying English when they are at school does not interest them as they are not clearly and practically shown the reasons why they should learn it. Besides, one worth paying attention to is the loss of basic English knowledge of Vietnamese students and it needs to be taken into consideration. In order to apply for better jobs or get more success in life, we need to have the ability to use English well. This paper was completed with documents in both Vietnamese and English and other sources. The article is also based on surveys conducted by students who have graduated from university in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
