Through weeks of training process at Neoling International English Company, I got a lot valuable working experience and soft skills With these precious experiences that will help me a lot for my work

communicating with foreigners coming with the company and translating many docments I recognized that my English is improved through practice I learned a lot of vocabulary, information and knowledge in contracts as well as know how to use translation methods The second, with the guides of everybody in the company I learned how to photocopy, receive and send faxes I also had chance to work in the receptionist office as a staff in the office, it makes me feel more confident and patient than before Especially I also learned many important skills in dealing with customers and working with staffs Moreover, as a receptionist at the company, I also learned some good characteristics like attentiveness, initiativeness, loyalty, maturity, respect for confidentiality and discretion, attitude and independence Thirdly, I know more about translation job and how we to become a good translator Because translation is not an easy job as we think It needs many skills After working there I sum up some precious experiences as a translator in my internship report Lastly, I want to mention that translator requires patient, active, and has good memory because when working we need a lot of skills to fulfill work, moreover passion for the profession, reading and learning vocabulary are traits that make you close with translator career longer I had many chances to contact with knowledge about translation we can see that practicing at company is good for every student Management techniques observed In the practicum period I learnt about the management skills from my supervisor There are four basic management skills anyone must master to have any success in a job These four basic skills are planning, organizing, directing and controlling When I organized the work, I need to:  Determine the roles needed, assign tasks to the roles  Determine the best resource (people or equipment) for the role  Make sure the goal is clear to everyone In addition, I also gained the time management and planning skills Having time management skills is simply having the ability to recognize and solve time management problems It is as the old adage says, to never put off for later what can be done right now I can develop this personal management skill by keeping a calendar and beginning to schedule everything Financial management skills are what I learnt from the cashier I could perfect my financial management skills by trying a few of the followings: creating a budget and tailor my spending to meet its requirements and saving every receipt from every purchase that I make in one month and find out how much money I am really spending Classroom skill employed : While studying at university, I have been trained about many subjects such as: Interpretation, Tourism, Translation, Law, Economics, etc by my teachers of Foreign Language Department at Vinh University These subjects have helped me a lot for my internship process With the Interpretation subject, I have been learnt about listening skill and good response Apart from it, I also know how to take some notes, memorize and public presentation skill With the Tourism subject, I have been equipped about public speaking and narrative skill, problem solving skill, and organizational and leadership skills With the Law and Economics subject, I have given the background knowledge about law and economics issues in my country and all over the world, it helped me very much in working in some jobs With the Translation subject, I have been learnt many new words in different topics and the way to translate Vietnamese into English and versa To be equipped with these skills, I have a chance to practice in Neoling International English Company During my internship process, I used successful my knowledge to provide for my task Problems encountered When practicing at the Neoling International English Company although I tried my best, I encountered some problems The first is communicating with colleagues in the company This was the first time, I had communicated with people in the office I not think that was so difficult Behaving with the manager is different from behaving with colleagues From the way of talking, the way of standing, uniform in office, I must consider all To make the work more successful, communicating well plays an important role The second is translation idioms, dialect and slang Vietnamese and English are different in idioms and slangs And in fact, I don’t know much about it So I felt very tired when I met them in the exercise which the director gave me To understand these I had to use my book and the internet, even I had to ask for the answer from the professional translator in this company Finally, due to limited vocabulary in many fiels, it is difficult for me to express contents of the text To solve this problem I had learned by heart vocabulary every day and read a lot of magazines, newspapers, books… Lesson learned After the practice process at Neoling International English Company, I have got some following experiences which will be valuable for me in the future job: Firstly, I worked in an active and professional environment so I learnt working style there, it is different from university I learnt to send and receive fax as well as working under pressure which helps me to work in the future Moreover, I had chance to work with many people who have many experiences in job or life I learnt many things from them, they help me more confident and active to communicate and work with anyone Secondly, I know more about interpreting job and how we to become a good interpreter As you know, interpreting is not an easy job as we think It needs many skills After working there I summarize some precious experiences as an interpreter and receptionist in my practice report Lastly, I want to mention that interpreter requires patience, active, and good memory because when working we need a lot of skills to fulfill work, moreover passion for the profession, reading and learning vocabulary are traits that make you close with interpreter career longer… PART III: RECOMMENDATIONS From the problems I encountered during my internship process at Neoling International English Company, I want to give some suggestions to Foreign Language Department of Vinh University as following: Firstly, creating more opportunities for students to practice with English by working with foreigners at school, opening some programs for students to learn in countries where using English as the first language such as Singapore, etc With Tourism subject, we should organize tours which including only students to practice and give marks for them instead of mid-term test With Economics and Law subject, we should help students to practice more and more Secondly, the Department should provide some specialized subjects in curriculum so that students can choose with their favorite such as: banking, accounting, and commercial finance and others Creating conditions for student to practice extracurricular and linking with companies for students to cooperate and work part time at the companies or to organize programs to find young talent in the future On the other hand, the Department should focus on practical knowledge in training programs Currently, our programs focus on theory too much Students not have much chance to practice with skills as speaking, listening, translating, or interpreting Students are not taught soft skills which are the occupational requirements of a job and many other activities, such as: the cluster of personality traits, social graces, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism Lacking of these makes students face many difficulties and awkward situations in jobs, especially in practicum period The university should invite foreign teachers to teach students, create conditions for students to have good learning environment, to be communicated with native speakers more The university also should hold more English clubs with specific topics regularly to help students to have opportunities to learn and exchange experiences to each other Foreign language students have to master the grammar and have rich vocabulary, ability of reading and understanding, listening and speaking fluently Thus the Foreign Languages Department needs to have suitable training program to create 10 learning interest for students, and create conditions for students to have opportunities to practice more Especially, to students of Foreign Language Department, when foreign delegations visit the university, teachers should let students receive and make a chance for them to visit and introduce about their university and the city These activities will help students having opportunities to cultivate their English The university needs to apply new teaching methods to help students overcome the habit of passive learning, train independent work skill and teamwork skill for students These skills are very important to students when working in companies Finally, teachers can ask students to individual exercises or research paper which not only base on lectures in school or textbooks, but also require actual, social and economic knowledge and information It will help students to form ability of independent working On the contrary, to help students have teamwork skill, teachers should ask students exercises that require abilities of coordination with others and working in group Besides, the university should train presentation skills and communication skills for students These are very important skills, contributing to the success in working of students Those are my recommendations to the Department after my practicum period I hope they will contribute to the development in training programs of the Department 11 PART IV: CONCLUSION The internship course is not a long period However, it is useful time for me to practice myself and learn new things The working environment was not as simple as what I have imagined, which caused me worried at the first time Then, the more I worked at the company, the more I found interested in it Working in a professional environment and with friendly, knowledgeable colleagues, I was supported experiences so that I could improve my team-working manner, communication skill and time management After the internship, I find out that I love this environment and I may get a job in this area To get this target, I am going to return Vinh University and get more knowledge, preparing for my future job I would like to give many thanks again to Vinh University and Neoling International English Company that gave me a chance to train myself and orient me to my future profession 12 ...
