It is fact that ESP subjects, especially EEE are worried problems. Although EEE is one of compulsory subjects, many students in FOFL, HUT did not get good marks and d06, k52 students were not an exception. The objective of this report was to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of learning EEE as well as the main reason why they did not get good mark in the final test.

Introduction This report discusses the situation of learning EEE of d06, k52 students in FOFL, HUT. Before studying this topic, a small survey was carried out to investigate the attitude and score for EEE of d06, k52 students in the final test. And it was very surprised that 62, 5 % students got C marks and found it difficult to cope with learning EEE. The result of this small survey is table 1 in the end of this report. Nowadays, many projects have been carried out to study many topics relating ESP subjects in school. However, the research which was concerned about the situation of learning EEE of d06, k52 students in FOFL; HUT has not yet been done. Therefore, the objectives of this research is to consider the advantages and disadvantages they meet when learning EEE as well as the main reason why they got bad marks in final test in order to help students and teachers have solutions to improve the quality of learning ESP , especially EEE in FOFL, HUT. Literature Review 3 ESP subjects, especially EEE are becoming concerned issues. Many people want to learn it, but they found it really boring and the reading section in some books did not meet their demand. According to Duc Lam (2009), EEE is really difficult. The reading section in book is too basic; they were not up-to-dated. They only dealt with issues such as phenomenon’s related to magnet, or magnetic flux… but it doesn’t explain why they occur like that. That is the reason why EEE is really boring. According to Anh Kien (2008), in his opinion, the simple method to learn ESP well is to read many ESP related documents. The more they read, the better your ESP knowledge is. Moreover, according to DKC05 (2009), learning General English well does not mean that learning ESP will be well. If one person, who learns English very well, does not read any catalogs or ESP related books, he / she will not be able to understand it well. The main reason is that the terms in ESP subjects are very different from the words in the general English. In his opinion, learning general English well is only the foundation for learning ESP well. In other word, people who want to learn ESP subjects well have to spend a lot of time on reading ESP documents and studying on it. ESP subject is not the general English. Their grammar is the same but the vocabulary of ESP subject is more difficult than the general English. Therefore, to learn ESP subjects better, learners should have the basic knowledge of general English. It is really useful for learn ESP subjects effectively and help learns to save more their time. 4 And according to the course requirements in textbook of English for Electrical Engineering, FOFL’s students have to consolidate and prepare the lesson at home before going to school. Furthermore, there is a fact that although students in D06 have mastered the general English, they did not study EEE well. Most of them sometimes or never follow these above requirements. They seldom read or repair lesson before going to class. They did not spend a lot of time on studying it. From these facts, they could not understand all things learned in class and then, they got bad mark in final test.] Methodology The situation of learning EEE of d06, k52 students in FOFL, HUT is investigated through questionnaire survey.

By using this method, researcher can investigate the common difficulties and advantages students had during the fifth term when they studied EEE. Moreover, the main reason of getting bad mark in the final test will be found quickly and easily. Results 1.
