internship During the process of internship at KSC Company, I had some following difficulties: •The culture of working is different from the culture of school so I had some problems when adapting some things dress code, punctually and communication with managers and colleges •Actually, this is a new field compared to the process and content studied at university Therefore, I faced with the difficulty such as “ How to design a basic lesson.” •During the process of studying at university, I only learned how to deal with word, power point and design slide simply However, when interning, I was required to design slide more complicated, creative Hence, I had some problem to deal with them •Moreover, task requires the technical skill, computer skill such as cutting, copying listening audios But I don’t have any experience in this field 2.2.2 Experienced lessons After month when working at KSC company, I was learned from experienced colleges Therefore, I leaned some following experience: •How to communicate with managers and colleges in the office •Working with software: Word, power point and Excel more professionally •The ability of creativeness and English skills are

become the global language Among hundreds of different languages, the world has chosen English as a means for people to understand each other English is the official language of 53 countries and territories, the official language of the EU and the third widely used language after Chinese and Spanish The international events like the Olympics, global organizations, and multinational companies consider English as common language of communication This shows the importance of English in all fields of economy, culture, society, etc As a company operating in the field of education especially English curriculum Together with releasing many products such as English books, electronic curriculums, English lessons for online classes, company attaches special importance to train and develop English for staffs The using of English is used in designing and editing curriculum for online classes, designing lessons and exercises for products such as Kid’s friend and electronic software on the websites Alokiddy.com.vn and English4u.com Moreover, it is used in working and exchanging with native teachers However, the staffs in some departments such as sales department, graphic design, and financial department are lack of the ability of English and they don’t widely use English  Advantages and disadvantages in the using of English  Advantages: •Staffs’ English ability are quite good, they can communicate basically •English is widely exploited in the office  Disadvantages: •The using of English in some departments is limited •There are not many English training courses for employees in the company 3.2 Proposing the researched issues English is an important factor in the company Hence, so as to improve the English skills for employees in the company, I suggest some solutions: •Opening monthly or quarterly skill and vocational training courses for staff The courses must be suitable for each staff and department to get essential skills •With some departments such as content department, the ability of English is required more than other departments The company should not just evaluate them through their own certificates; the company need make real evaluation through the skills when the candidates take part in interviews depending on the position •To improve English skills, the company should co-operate with prestigious and qualified English center and open monthly or quarterly tests to evaluate their level •For the collaborator team, the company should build a regular database and use contracts to ensure that there are people who can work when having project When recruiting the collaborator team, the company needs to test their abilities accurately PART 4: PROPOSION OF GRAUDATION PAPER Some following graduation paper topics proposed, I hope
