we know that we are living in the world of globalization English is a common language and is spoken in many countries It is considered as universal language in many fields such as: science, technology, diplomacy and so on Most of the universities worldwide include English as one of their major subjects Vietnam is also competing with the other countries in terms of education and many other things Hence, we are forced to meet global standards In Vietnam, English has become a compulsory subject in the curriculum and it is considered as one of the major subjects for the national secondary school and high school examinations Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam (2006) has stated that the objective of language teaching is teaching learners to communicate fluently, appropriately and spontaneously in the cultural context of the target language In recent years, the study of English has gained momentum because it is partly the change in education policies of our government The number of people who wish to know and master English has become more and more increasing, especially since Vietnam adopted an open-door policy, teaching and learning English have been paid much attention to There still exist many difficulties facing English language teachers in Vietnam in general and English language teachers at Bắ c S ơn high school in particular in teaching speaking skills to students The teachers of English at Bắ c Sơn high school find it difficult to teach speaking successfully because of remote and mountainous area, ethnic majority students, students‟ low level, students‟ poor living conditions, lack of materials and facilities The teaching and learning English process at Bắ c Sơn high school seems to still focus too much on grammar and structures Students are very good at doing exercises of written forms, these forms of exercises mostly concern grammar, reading or writing comprehension The consequence is that students have many difficulties in speaking There are many students who have perfect knowledge of grammar but can‟t express themselves to the teacher Therefore, they usually keep quiet and lazy during speaking lessons It is very difficult to make them participate in speaking activities All of the above reasons have inspired the author to the research on “An investigation into the difficulties faced by teachers in teaching English speaking skills to Mườ ng ethnic students at Bắ c S ơn high school” with the hope to investigate the teachers‟ difficulties in teaching English speaking, then I will present some recommendations that can help the teachers overcome those difficulties, and thereby make a small contribution to the quality of teaching and learning speaking skills at Bắ c Sơn high school Aims of the study The study is aimed at: - Investigating the current situation of teaching and learning of speaking skills at Bắ c Sơn high school - Identifying the difficulties and obstacles that the teachers at Bắ c Sơn high school have faced when teaching speaking skills - Making some suggestions for the teachers at Bắ c S ơn high school with the hope of helping the students overcome their inhibition, and thereby improve students‟ speaking skills Research questions My study aims at answering the following research questions: - What are the current techniques of teaching speaking skills used at Bắ c S ơn high school? - What kinds of difficulties the teachers at Bắ c Sơn high school often meet in teaching English speaking skills to Mường ethnic students? - What are the most effective ways that help the teachers at Bắ c Sơn high school to overcome these difficulties? Scope of the study The researcher only intends to give a brief overview of current English speaking teaching and learning situations of grade 11 students at Bắ c Sơn high school, and to focus on the difficulties that the English language teachers have met when teaching speaking skills to the minority students at Bắ c S ơn high school and then offer some implications and activities with the hope that teaching and learning speaking skills will be improved The study of difficulties, some suggested solutions to other skills and levels would be beyond the scope of the study Methods of the study To realize the objectives of the study, qualitative and quantitative methods will be used The data collected for the study will mainly from two sources: 140 students of 11th grade and teachers of English at Bắ c S ơn high school Survey questions are used to collect information and evidence for the study All comments, remarks, recommendations, and conclusions provided in the study are based on the data analysis Design of the study This study consists of three parts: Introduction, Development and Conclusion  Part A: Introduction  Part B: Development The development comprises four chapters: + Chapter : Literature Review + Chapter : Research Methodology + Chapter : Data analysis + Chapter 4: Findings and Recommendations  Part C: Conclusion • Suggest some main ideas about the topic • Move around the class to keep an eye on learners and make sure that all of them are participating in the topic • Encourage them to speak out their ideas 4.2.3 Building positive environment in class Generally speaking, there are two factors to affect students' speaking English in class One is they fail to find suitable words to express themselves and the other is they are afraid of making mistakes Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous So good environment helps the students speak actively and correctly Two following techniques should be applied: a, Using suitable techniques for error correction It is advisable for the teachers to give students suitable ways of error correction The teachers should correct serious mistakes or just stop if the students' answers are unclear Another better way to correct students' errors is to write common errors and correct them as a class discussion at the end of the activities Correction, in addition, is not necessary to be always corrected by teachers Self-correction is an effective alternating method b, The necessity for encouragement After students finish their speaking in class, teachers should encourage them and let the students feel they have made some progress with a sense of their fulfillment Teachers should be gentle, sincere and patient Never get frustrated or angry When the students‟ answers are correct or almost correct, the teacher should praise them by saying “Excellent”, “Great”, “Fantastic”, “You are on the right track”, “That‟s very close”, “Almost” If students give out a wrong answer, the positive praise as “Good try”, “Try another time” are truly to stimulate students to speak It is essential to try to build an atmosphere where the students no longer feel shy, where they will voluntarily raise their hands to ask a question and where they will freely voice their own opinions 4.3 Summary 40 In this chapter, some major findings based on the data analysis of the study at Bắ c Sơn high school context have been presented It leads to a conclusion that there are many difficulties that the teachers face when teaching English speaking skills at Bắ c Sơn high school In order to reduce these difficulties some suggested solutions have been offered with the hope of improving the situation PART C: CONCLUSION This part will deal with a conclusions, limitation and suggestions for further study Conclusions It is undeniable that speaking plays a crucial role in language teaching and learning Thus, this research is an attempt to find out teachers‟ difficulties in teaching speaking skills to Mường ethnic students This study is conducted through survey questionnaires for both teachers and students at Bắ c Sơn high school The participants for this study are four teachers of English and 140 students who are from three eleventh-form classes at BS high school.They took part in the study at the beginning of January 2013 Based on the instruments the study has been figured out the important findings The findings are described as difficulties caused by the teachers, difficulties caused by students and other difficulties The difficulties from the teachers are defined as lack of knowledge on CLT and misunderstanding of teaching methodology In terms of difficulties from students, it emerges from the study that low English proficiency, limited motivation in learning, use of Vietnamese during pairwork or groupwork, negative psychological factors Other difficulties come from the large sized classes and the textbook “Tiế ng Anh 11” Based on these findings, the study provides some implications and activities for teaching and learning speaking skills in grade 11th at Bắ c Sơn high school In a word, it is hoped that this study will make a specially significant contribution to the better current situation in teaching and learning speaking English of the 11th grade students and to the ongoing process of renovation for teaching English at BS high school 41 Limitations of the study Although the study has been seriously and intensively carried out, like many other studies, there are still some limitations Firstly, the number of students involved in the survey is still limited, so, the findings may, to some extent, the results may not be generalized for all students of the school Secondly, the researcher only use survey questionnaire as the main instrument for data collections Thus, the perceptions may not always be accurate and reliable In order to make obtained result more reliable, different instruments for data collection should be applied Moreover, the activities suggested in the research are selected from different reliable but limited sources Meanwhile, the rank of activities compatible with CLT is multitudinous There are many others depending on different contexts, so teachers and students can exploit their own advantages to improve the situation Suggestions for further study Owing to the limitations of the time, the present paper on English speaking teaching and learning was conducted with only a small sample of students at Bắ c Sơn high school Therefore, the researcher should the research on a larger sample of students in other contexts to confirm the validity of the findings of this study In this study, it is impossible for the researcher to simultaneously conduct a whole study on other aspects of English language such as grammar and other language skills There are some suggestions for further researches: - A study on the problems in teaching Listening/ Reading or Writing to Mường students at Bắ c Sơn high school - A study on techniques and activities for the minority students which help them improve their speaking skills To get a better and more efficient study, surely the researcher in the coming time with the future research there will be a similar one which overcomes these weaknesses Therefore, the writer would highly appreciate all the remarks, comments and suggestions from teachers, colleagues and readers as well 42 REFERENCES Bock, G ( 2000) Difficulties in Implementing Communicative Theory in Viet Nam Teacher’s Edition , 2, 24- 28 Breen,
