Therefore, English speaking skills is an indispensable course in English language curriculum at tertiary level. However, it is not easy for English learners in this context to achieve their fluency and proficiency in English speaking skill due to certain internal and external factors. Therefore, this study is to investigate challenges of speaking skills faced by English- majored at Hai Phong Privates University.
The data obtained from the questionnaire with 60 students. The findings show that students first-year faced both internal and external challenges, especially the latter ones regarding the limitation of English speaking environment and extracurricular activities. Possible measures are proposed to tackle such challenges in helping students speak English more effectively. The study also show some benefits of English Club in improving student’s Speaking Skill.

Luan van 14 PART I: INTRODUCTION 1. Rationale of the study Master of English as a second or foreign language comes down to how well a student speaks. He may write well, for example get high marks on tests, or even have an accent nearly identical to a native speaker, but if he cannot express ideas, opinions or instructions clearly in a conversation, he could not be called proficient. Language is for communication after all, and that primarily calls speaking.
Nowadays, foreign languages in general and English in particular are necessary to students in Vietnam. High command of foreign languages helps students so much in finding jobs. For students of foreign languages, after finishing schools they are required to be able to understand what others say and to express themselves in various situations. Since labor market now tends to offer more and more opportunities for those who can communicate well, the ability to communicate fluently and effectively has been of great importance to foreign language students.
To learn foreign languages in general and English in particular well, learners are supposed to be good at four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Listening and Speaking are closely related as without expressing one’s ideas correctly, the communication cannot be a successful one. Therefore, when learning English, people have to learn how to speak effectively. Basing on certain knowledge about Hai Phong Private University students gained through four years of experience as a student, I find that Hai Phong Private University students like other learners experience a number of difficulties in their speaking skill due to their limited vocabulary, background knowledge, lack of self-confidence and so on and that leads to ineffectiveness when they conduct oral activities.
Because of that, I decide to do a study entitled How English Clubs can be helpful for HPU English Majors in improving Speaking Skill. Aim and Objectives of the Study This study will point out the problems that students face and highlight the benefits of participating in English Clubs to help improve the problems mentioned process of learning Speaking Skill. In order to achieve the aforementioned aim, the researcher has set the following specific objectives: 1. Introducing theoretical background of Speaking Skill 2.
Giving clear and detailed methods of improving speaking skills when participating in English clubs 1. Scope of the study The present study focuses on improving the English majors speaking skill at HPU. In fact, there are lots of various techniques to study English communication. It requires much of time and effort.
However, due to the limitation of time, resources and knowledge of mine as well as some other conditions, this study was carried out to find out the reality of learning English speaking for the English majors. Thus, the result of study is limited only to those students participating in this study and these findings may impact the generalization to the all of students and they can also be the references for anyone who wants to practice English speaking. Method of the study To complete this study, a variety of methods have been employed: - Concerned materials including reference books on teaching methodology have been carefully studied and analyzed. - A survey questionnaire was conducted to the first year English majors at HPU to gather information and evidence for the study In addition to make the data collected more reliable and authentic, qualitative method and observation were applied with two instruments: an informal interview All the comments, remarks, recommendations and conclusion provided in the study were based on the data analysis of the study.

Part III of the study is Conclusion, limitations and suggestions for further study are mentioned in this part. Luan van 17 PART II: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW 1. Speaking: An overview 1.
Definition of speaking Speaking is the ability to pronounce articulation of sounds or words for expressing, stating and delivering thoughts, ideas and feeling. Meanwhile, Brown (1994) and Amir (2010) and Astuti (2010) say that speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning that involves producing and receiving and processing information. So, it can be concluded that speaking is an ability to communicate orally to other people with the aim to express their ideas and feelings. Additionally, Nunan (1991) supported that speaking is the same as oral interaction which are conventional ways of presenting information, expressing our ideas and thought in our mind.
