People often watch different types of news such as entertainment, academic purposes or political, economic, or social information. For using a language, speaking is indispensable because it provides conversational input.
If pronunciation is not standard, vocabulary or intonation and fluency are not good, it will hinder the communication problem of the conversation or the problem the speaker wants to present. Therefore, language learners, especially those who learn English as a foreign language in a non-native environment, find it difficult to practice speaking English because of lack of vocabulary, lack of communication environment. And practice opportunities are limited. This study will focus on finding out the difficulties that the first-year English majors at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology face when practicing speaking English and offering the best solutions to help students progress and succeed in mastering speaking skills through watching news on VOA channel.
I hope that my research will give students some recommendations for their speaking skills. Acknowledgement First of all, I would like to express my sincere thanks to my supervisor, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Huyen, for her enthusiastic help, guidance and close supervision during the process of making my thesis.

Overview of the study 2. Limitations of the study 3. Suggestions for the further study APPENDIX: STUDENTS’ SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE APPENDIX 1: QUESTIONNAIRE FOR STUDENTS APPENDIX 2: SAMPLE PART I: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rationale Speaking is ‘the activity of giving speeches and talks’. Speaking is an activity used to communicate with other.
It takes place everywhere and should become part of our daily activities. When someone speaks, he or she interacts and uses the language to express his or her ideas, feeling and thought. He or she also shares information to others through communication. Speaking is one of the skills that have to be mastered by students in learning English.
We can master it if we always practice it. There are four English skills to learn, namely speaking, reading, writing, and listening skill. Speaking seems intuitively the most important skill to master. The success is measured in terms of the ability to carry out conversation in language.
Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing, receiving, and processing information. Speaking is very important because by mastering speaking skill, people can carry out conversations with others, give the ideas and exchange the information with others. Hence, in speaking classroom the learners should work as much as possible on their own, talk to one another directly and not through the medium of teacher. But we have to know that, we can talk to one another by using English if we have many vocabularies and always practice it.
The purpose of learning English is how to make the students know and understand in using English as foreign language because in globalization era, English language is very important and the students or people have to know and understand English language. And the teacher has to find the good way to make the students interest to study English and the teacher as facilitator must give spirit to student in learning English. There are many ways to improve learners' speaking skills. One of the ways is to practice listening.
Learning to speak by listening is one of the techniques that helps students acquire a significant amount of vocabulary, listen to imitate intonation, tone of voice and even organize ideas to convey to the listener. 1 Students will pay serious attention in learning if it is necessary and timely news. So, in this study, the researcher discusses one of the techniques that can improve students' speaking skills. When learning speaking skills, students often face some difficulties.
The common problem is that their native language makes it difficult for them to use a foreign language. Another reason is lack of motivation to practice a second language in everyday conversation. They are also shy and afraid to engage in conversation. Moreover, speaking without words to express it is impossible.
That's what I found from the freshmen of Hai Phong University of Management and Technology To be able to practice speaking fluently, students need to listen to a wide variety of topics related to daily life, politics, economics, culture, even the situation of war between countries. countries in the world. This technique will help students increase their vocabulary significantly and variety of topics, only then students can have enough vocabulary to start speaking practice.2 Aims of the study Realizing the difficulties in learning speaking skills of first-year students majoring in English at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology. Therefore, this survey was conducted to understand those difficulties.
Because of these factors, many students are not interested in learning and practicing this skill in class, so the study proposes measures to improve students' speaking skills.3 Methods of the study The study will be conducted using quantitative and qualitative method. The study includes survey questionnaires for freshman at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology. After getting the results, the researcher will use charts for presenting the collected data. Among the research methods, survey research is one of the most important and useful areas of measurement in applied social research.
Survey research is 2 simply a systematic investigation conducted via a survey. In other words, it is a type of research carried out by administering surveys to respondents. Surveys already serve as a great method of opinion sampling and finding out what people think about different contexts and situations. Applying this to research means you can gather first-hand information from persons affected by specific contexts.
One of the strongest arguments for survey research is that it helps writers gather the most authentic data sets in the systematic investigation.
