Students in Faculty of Foreign Language, Ha Noi University of Technology

Abstract
This report was concerned with the situation of learning English for Engineering
(EEE). It is fact that ESP subjects, especially EEE are worried problems. Although
EEE is one of compulsory subjects, many students in FOFL, HUT did not get good
marks and d06, k52 students were not an exception. The objective of this report was
to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of learning EEE as well as the main
reason why they did not get good mark in the final test. Techniques of gathering data
including different types of questionnaires administered to students in d06, k52 in

lesson more and easier. And finally, some methods should be done to check student’s
lesson correctness.

Introduction
This report discusses the situation of learning EEE of d06, k52 students in
FOFL, HUT. Before studying this topic, a small survey was carried out to investigate
the attitude and score for EEE of d06, k52 students in the final test. And it was very
surprised that 62, 5 % students got C marks and found it difficult to cope with

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.]
