PART A: INTRODUCTION The rationale of the study More and more Vietnamese people are becoming aware of the importance of English, which is due to the increasingly global communications in the English language However, it is known that words play an indispensable role in human communication Without words, the language would be inane, just as a building cannot be constructed without bricks The methods for learning and teaching English vocabulary well are always heatedly discussed in Vietnam on purpose of helping teachers and students teach, learn and then acquire English vocabulary at an ease, for example, Quach Thi Mai (2007), Nguyen Thu Huong (2008) and many other authors It is still quite a problem Learners face difficulties in vocabulary learning in general and memorizing in particular Memorizing vocabulary has been discussed a lot in the foreign context, however, in Vietnam it is still a potential to exploit Many Vietnamese students experience considerable difficulties in learning vocabulary because of word nature, lack of time, learning strategies, motivation and so on Having worked with the course book “English for Finance” by Cao Xuan Thieu, the Financial Publishing House (2008) and examined many oral final tests of the secondyear non-English major students at the AOF for several years, the researcher has noticed a number of problems faced by students here These problems still exist in the process of learning ESP vocabulary when many of the students could not even give a simple answer or speak a simple sentence They find it hard to remember, to correctly pronounce and use vocabulary Many students confide to the researcher that they spend lots of time learning vocabulary but they can remember only few words they have learnt As a result, English vocabulary becomes very challenging and threatening for them in learning English for specific purposes at university These reasons urge the researcher to find out the difficulties in memorizing ESP vocabulary faced by the second-year non-English major students at the AOF and the possible solutions to help students improve their vocabulary memorization TIEU LUAN MOI download :

IX - Ask students to underline or mark with fluorescent pens all the words they know - Then ask students work in pairs or in three to compare: a student who knows something not known to his friends teaches it to them Then they try to get the meanings of the remaining unmarked items - Bring the class together to hear the results, check guesses and teach new items where necessary Random items Goal: for students‟ vocabulary revision Procedures: - Write on the board a number of vocabulary items (learnt items in previous lessons) - Jumble the words (not appear in categories) - Ask students to work alone to categorize the items into or groups (more effective if teacher lets students make their own decision on which categories and then explain their choices) Word Card Activities Procedures: - Sort the word cards by category (e.g., words related to people, words related to things) - Find words that have certain connotations such as positive and negative, good and bad, desirable and undesirable - Sort words by part of speech (e.g., N, V, Adv, Adj) - Make sentences using pairs of words - Group words and then explain basis of groupings Filling gaps Goal: Help review vocabulary and summarize the contents of the reading texts Procedures: - Write down on the blackboard the chart - Ask students close their books and this one in several minutes - Ask one students come to blackboard
