However, learning vocabulary is a big obstacle for 3rd year students when learning foreign languages. To overcome that obstacle, this study presents the results of building students’ vocabulary learning strategies, thereby making some suggestions to improve the effectiveness of vocabulary learning for third-year students of the major.

Rationale One of the essential factors to help English learners achieve the best results is vocabulary. However, most English learners in Vietnam have very little vocabulary, which is not enough to communicate effectively even in simple everyday communication situations. To be successful, learners not only apply one method but must apply and combine many different strategies, learning methods, practices and practices. The most important thing is the passion and aspiration, the great motivation of each individual to master the language.
Vocabulary is considered as an important factor determining success in communicate in the language of the learner, whether in the native language or in the foreign. Vocabulary development plays an important role in language development learners’ language. Knowing English vocabulary is not enough, you must know how to use it using that vocabulary in different contexts and situations creates success work when learning a foreign language. Therefore, English teachers not only focus on on providing vocabulary for learners but also helping learners become familiar with meaning, structure, grammar and usage of that vocabulary through the application of methods, organizing activities and assigning exercises in the teaching process to help learners can use vocabulary in the most appropriate and effective way in real life, daily work.
Vocabulary plays an important role in learning and using English, especially for students majoring in Business English. In learning and practicing language skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing, vocabulary helps learners understand most of the information conveyed through reading listening texts as well as through communicating with people foreign. In the learning process of students majoring in Business English, students majoring in Business English still have many limitations in learning vocabulary, especially specialized vocabulary. 1 Therefore, learning and improving foreign languages, especially English, is extremely necessary for students.
Aims of the study In this study, I would like to answer the following issues: - First, the topic helps students realize the importance of vocabulary learning and its relationship to speaking, reading and writing skills. - Second, the topic delves into the study of vocabulary learning strategies of students majoring in Business English. - Third, the topic gives some suggestions on how to learn vocabulary effectively to help English learners build their vocabulary. Findings and discussions were gathered from survey questionnaires conducted at HPU and student interviews in class NA2301T, NA2401T.
It is hoped that the findings and discussions will contribute to clarifying the current situation of specialized vocabulary learning of third-year HPU students as well as the general situation of all students today. Scope of the study The scope of study focuses on English learners especially class NA2301T, NA2401T. The topic is conducted to assess the current situation of students’ vocabulary learning Business English, highlight the problems and find out the essence of vocabulary learning of students. The information and data collected in the survey will be analyze and thereby build a vocabulary learning method for students.
The experimental part of the thesis is to test the effectiveness ofmethods built on the basis of survey results to help students make the best use of their own ability to learn and use their own vocabulary. Methods of the study The study used several methods to evaluate and draw conclusions: ➢ Document research method : 2 Conduct research, study relevant documents to have a scientific theoretical basis, accurate information for the analysis in the topic. ➢ Methods of investigation and survey : Distributing surveys, collecting information from students of class NA2301T, NA2401T to see the main specialized vocabulary learning methods of students majoring in Business English. ➢ Methods of data analysis : From the results obtained on the survey form, synthesis and statistics to produce the most accurate data for the topic.
Design of the study The study consists of three main parts: Introduction, Development, and Conclusion. ➢ Part I: Introduction shows reasons to choose the study, the aims, scope, methods, and design of the study ➢ Part II: Development shows theoretical background, and study vocabulary learning strategies ➢ Part III: Conclusions, proposed solutions, and limitation 3 PART 2: DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER I: THEORETICAL BACKGROUND 1. Vocabulary learning strategies In the course of classifying and recognizing the strategies of language, various studies indirectly dealt with approaches related to vocabulary learning. O’Malley et al.
(1985) noted that there was limited training investigation concerning second language learning strategies. Research has been almost exclusive to rational applications using vocabulary tasks. Regardless of this, a small number of individual vocabulary strategies have been studied in some depth, the key exclusions being guesstimating from the setting and context (Huckin, Haynes & Coady, 1993), as well as specific mnemonics such as the ‘keyword technique’ (Pressley, Levin & Miller, 1982). However, combining the outcomes of comprehensive studies on learning strategies with vocabulary-specific further research allows us to develop several tentative broad inferences regarding vocabulary learning strategies.
It appears that numerous students use vocabulary learning approaches, particularly when associated with tasks that are more cohesive. Chamot (1987) established that ESL students in high school stated more usage of learning vocabulary strategies than for any other language learning activity, together with social communication, oral presentation, and listening comprehension. This may be due to the comparatively distinct nature of vocabulary learning paralleled to more assimilated language activities, such as effectively employing the techniques and making oral presentations. Also, it can be caused by the fact that classrooms have a habit of accentuating discrete actions and activities over integrative ones.
The usage of higher strategy can be because of responsiveness of the student’s vocabulary importance. Horwitz (1988) established that many ESL learners completing their survey agreed or strongly agreed that the most significant part of foreign language learning is vocabulary learning.
