Literature Review
ESP subjects, especially EEE are becoming concerned issues. Many people want to
learn it, but they found it really boring and the reading section in some books did not meet
their demand. According to Duc Lam (2009), EEE is really difficult. The reading section in
book is too basic; they were not up-to-dated. They only dealt with issues such as
phenomenon’s related to magnet, or magnetic flux… but it doesn’t explain why they occur
like that. That is the reason why EEE is really boring.
According to Anh Kien (2008), in his opinion, the simple method to learn ESP well is
to read many ESP related documents. The more they read, the better your ESP knowledge

is. Moreover, according to DKC05 (2009), learning General English well does not mean
that learning ESP will be well. If one person, who learns English very well, does not read
any catalogs or ESP related books, he / she will not be able to understand it well. The main
reason is that the terms in ESP subjects are very different from the words in the general
English. In his opinion, learning general English well is only the foundation for learning
ESP well.
In other word, people who want to learn ESP subjects well have to spend a lot of time on
reading ESP documents and studying on it. ESP subject is not the general English. Their
grammar is the same but the vocabulary of ESP subject is more difficult than the general
English. Therefore, to learn ESP subjects better, learners should have the basic knowledge

of general English. It is really useful for learn ESP subjects effectively and help learns to
save more their time.
And according to the course requirements in textbook of English for Electrical
Engineering, FOFL’s students have to consolidate and prepare the lesson at home before
going to school.
Furthermore, there is a fact that although students in D06 have mastered the
general English, they did not study EEE well. Most of them sometimes or never follow
these above requirements. They seldom read or repair lesson before going to class. They
did not spend a lot of time on studying it. From these facts, they could not understand all
things learned in class and then, they got bad mark in final test.]
