Tóm tắt
Challenges in teaching and learning English for specific purposes (ESP) in Vietnamese universities have attracted much attention and have been mentioned in a variety of scientific papers as well as in national and local newspapers. Teachers and students of Danang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy (DUMTP) are facing the same problem. This paper is to investigate DUMTP nursing students’ drawbacks in their learning English speaking skills. The data for the study was based on questionnaires for DUMTP’s 250 nursing students, and 11 English teachers, and the pilot application of some group activities to teaching English speaking skills to 50 nursing students. Throughout the analysis and conclusion, the authors introduced some useful group work activities and how to use them effectively in order to enhance students’ English speaking competence. Also, the researchers have made some suggestions for the government, the management and the teachers on how to improve English speaking skills for nursing students of DUMTP in specific and of Vietnamese medical universities in general.
