to conduct the survey and complete the thesis ii ABSTRACT The learners of English referred to in this project are defined as the first-year English majors at Binh Duong Teachers’ Training College who have taken up the English language as their major Therefore they are obliged to possess the knowledge of the language such as grammar structures, language functions, vocabulary and pronunciation Besides, they are supposed to develop all their basic skills of English including listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation On developing their speaking skill, the students confront numerous problems that badly affect their abilities of speaking English inside as well as outside class To identify the students’ reality of practicing their spoken English, a survey was conducted to discover their inhibition in verbal activities in the speaking class as well in any process of oral interaction with their teachers and their classmates Secondly, the implications of the findings analyzed in chapter four – Data Analysis and Findings - prove that most of the students (1) are afraid of the speaking subject and get very little acquisition in it, (2) are inhibited by several subjective and objective factors in the speaking activities, and (3) find that the speaking tasks and activities and teachers’ teaching techniques are inconsistent, ineffective or unencouraging Finally, some teaching strategies and activities are suggested to improve the quality of teaching and learning the speaking skill at Binh Duong Teachers’ Training College iii TABLE OF CONTENTS
