Therefore, when pursuing the profession of an English teacher, I was aware of myimportant responsibility, deciding what we need to do to possess the necessaryinformation, abilities and teaching strategies. to guide future generations of students.People today are constantly learning to keep up with advances in science andtechnology. As teachers, we are also constantly learning to convey new knowledge tostudents. The current goal of national development is still the top priority of our Partyand State, and to achieve that goal, our country needs a team of knowledge, talent andmost importantly virtue. That foundation is mostly people who have been and are stillin school. To become such an excellent person, everyone must go through a process ofstudying and trying tirelessly while still in school. Teachers in general are people whoare always standing by enthusiastically guiding and imparting knowledge to the younggeneration, nurturing and developing talents to contribute to the country.

I'd like to thank the University of Economics - Technology for Industries Board and allof the teachers in the Faculty of Foreign Languages for making it possible for me tohave an internship before graduation, which will be a significant milestone in myfuture career development.

PART 1: INTRODUCTION

1. Rationale of the study

Language is an extremely important tool for people to communicate with each other. Itis not only a means of conveying thoughts and ideas, but also builds friendships, economic relationships and cultural and social relationships. Surely learning languageswill help us develop ourselves, our minds and our personalities. Following the development trend, English has become an international language and is widely used in many countries around the world. As you know, English is the most used language in the world. For that reason, many good learning materials from educational organizations and major universities are written in English. More than half of the websites on the Internet are also written in English, such as newspapers, tools, and global online services. Just knowing this language will give you access to this endless source of information.

In today's integration era, English is also considered a global communication tool, the "key" to accessing the vast amount of knowledge and knowledge of world civilization.Therefore, knowing and using English fluently will help students access diverse knowledge and information from global sources. Not an exception, Vietnam is increasingly developing and popularizing the English language as an inevitable need. Nowadays, English learners can no longer count on their fingers but instead count on their fingers the number of people who do not learn English. One thing is obvious: if you know English, it can help you pursue and get more career opportunities, good jobs, high income... Today, jobs are global - many companies need employees who can communicate with partners and customers around the world, and English is the main language of global communication, so employees who know and can communicate in English will be of great help for the company.

The field of education has been increasingly focusing on, expanding, and demonstrating the importance of English. Most worldwide educational resources, documents and books are in English. The global education system at universities around the world has English language requirements and English degrees. Those who study abroad must use English as a means of communication and learning. Lack of knowledge or knowledge of English will be a major inconvenience in accessing and experiencing international educational knowledge.

Therefore, today everyone needs to be fully equipped with knowledge, learning materials, and have access to effective learning methods to apply in life. If from the beginning, learners can have access to the right ways to learn how to teach, learning will become easier, more attractive and more interesting than ever.

2. Aims of the study

It is undeniable that learning English has inspired and motivated students, especially through improving skills, teaching methods and the way teachers create a vibrant atmosphere in each lesson. However, limitations cannot be avoided due to inconsistentways of writing and reading English. If in Vietnamese the spelling and reading are the same and each word has only one reading, synthetic English has too many different pronunciations. If in Vietnamese the spelling and reading are the same and each word has only one reading, synthetic English has too many different pronunciations. There are also many equally difficult things such as learning English grammar or having trouble hearing native speakers speak abbreviations or slang when speaking. And many people may not know, with English, wind sounds are the breath of vocabulary. Ifyou don't pronounce wind sounds, you're speaking Vietnamese-style English. Due to the tone of Vietnamese people, there is no need to have a tail tone. The Vietnamese pronunciation is basically quite simple. And you don't need to be fussy for the other person to understand what you're saying. But English is different. Due to such different thinking, Vietnamese people often ignore the last syllable because they think they are cumbersome. And as a result, we mispronounce it.

Therefore, with all the knowledge gained through the internship process, I want to invest time to learn more about English teaching methods for beginners to find suitablelearning methods to consolidate and improve high quality learning in this subject, helping learners not be too burdened or feel pressured when learning English.
