PART 3: USING ENGLISH IN BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF
LUCHICOTRADING INVESTMENT AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
LIMITED:
3.1. Reality of using English in business
In the past few years, Vietnam’s economy has strongly integrated into global
one, causing increasing demands of high quality human resources that has not only
a thorough understanding of specialized affairs but also good foreign languages and
social skills. English has become an important part in business operations, a major
factor which helps companies win chances to expand new market and meet foreign

investors.
As working in construction equipment market, LUCHICO now mostly uses
English when negotiating with foreign suppliers and promoting company’s image.
LUCHICO imports a lot of machinery from other countries, mainly from Asia
countries and sometimes from Europe, therefore, most of company’s employees
have been trained to negotiate, write e-mails, handle international contracts and
communicate with customers in English. Currently, about 40% of company’s staffs
are able to fluently communicate and write in English.
However, 40% is not an impressive number and most of English proficient
staffs of LUCHICO are mostly students from English Departments of different
universities and employees working in Sales department and some of engineers.
About interns, theirworking schedule is unstable and they only occur in a short time
and rarely present in the office. This hinders a lot when there is sudden work related
to English. Almost engineers and office staffs are only able to read specialized
English, not to communicate and write in such language. These obstacles have
many times caused company not to immediately reply foreign partners or make
serious mistakes while handling international contracts due to the lack of English
proficient staffs.
3.2. Suggested solutions for using English in business
In order to overcome the issue of employees having good specialization
skillsbut limited English and also to expand business operations in the future, the
leaders of LUCHICO should plan out more English courses alongside professional
14


knowledge training for all employees in the company. This plan will help potential
employees to develop their skills and eliminate language barrier which used to
hinder many important international businesstransactions and causehuge lossesto
the company.
First of all, company should connect with some English training centers in Bac

Giang Province to build up some commercial English courses for staffs from all
departments. The courses will focus on teaching English communication,
negotiation, email writing, contract drafting in order to turn the language into an
effective tool for the business. Listening and speaking skills are also heavily
focused as these are the most important skills for the success of company’s
business.
There are employees who are already good at basic English so they will be
arranged to work in pairs with specialists to gain experiences and communicate with
foreign customers.
LUCHICO should also let employees take part in conferences on sharing
learning English experiences held by domestic and foreign organizations,
meanwhile support its best in finance, working conditions. The company also
applies more policies to encourage learning English by offering higher salaries to all
officers and staffs so that it is easier and more exciting for them to participate in the
activities.

CONCLUSION
While doing the internship and researching about business operations at
LUCHICO Trading Investment And Construction Company Limited, I have gained

knowledge about company’s history ,also the factors which affect company’s
business activities and environment.
During one month doing the internship as an office staff at Luchico, I
possessed the a opportunity to apply the knowledge obtained at university into
reality and learn more about styles, attitudes, methods of working, communication
in business environment, generating valuable experiences.
Through my experiences obtained during the one-month internship and my
knowledge background, I conducted this report in order to summarize company’s
business activities and figure out some existing problems at the company. I hope
that my opinions would contribute to the unit’s development in the upcoming time.
