Along with enhancing training efficiency, students have to be active and creative in their practices and learning.
Additionally, learners need to have soft skills in the process of studying and working. Teamwork skills are a valuable skill for university students. The Faculty of Foreign Languages at IUH requires dynamism as well as important soft skills, especially teamwork skills. However, since the learning environment is so different from high school to college, the majority of students do not adapt to learning and teamwork.
Most students are unaware of the effectiveness of teamwork, lack a sense of the high spirit of collaboration when working together, students continue to neglect their studies, lack soft skills, successful teamwork. Furthermore, despite participating in teamwork, some others were unable to discover an interest in the cooperation and did not create productivity in teamwork, which has not yet been completely promoted, resulting in an individual capacity, poor work productivity. As a result, teamwork skills are extremely important for students, and research on the teamwork skills of second-year English-majored students at the Faculty of Foreign Languages. Additionally, we will learn more about the challenges that students encounter during the teamwork process and propose some approaches to assist second-year students in being more advantageous in the teamwork process.
In conclusion, we choose the topic "The effectiveness classroom of teamwork skills of English-majored Sophomore students at IUH" which is meaningful and should be investigated to enhance the ability of learners’ teamwork.

According to Kozlowski and Ilgen (2006) states that teams are composed of individuals who share several defining characteristics: they (1) have a shared collective identity, (2) have common goals, (3) are interdependent in terms of their assigned tasks or outcomes, (4) have distinctive roles within the team, and (5) are part of a larger organizational context that influences their work and that they, in turn, can influence. It is useful to think of these five characteristics as dimensions along which all groups naturally vary. Taken collectively, they are useful in distinguishing teams from certain other social collectives, such as a group of friends.
According to Kozlowski & Bell (2003, p.334) defined teamwork as <collectives who exist to perform organizationally relevant tasks, share one or more common goal, interact socially, exhibit task interdependencies, maintain and manage boundaries, and are embedded in an organizational context that sets boundaries, constrains the team, and influences exchanges with other units in the broader entity=. Similarly, Katzenbach and Smith's (1993) also defined teamwork as: <A team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and an approach for which they are mutually accountable= Teamwork occurs as participants communicate with one another. Furthermore, participants have the ability to collaborate, share, and encourage one another in order to achieve the group's common goal. Harris & Harris (1996) also claims that a team has a common goal or purpose where team members can develop effective, mutual relationships to achieve team goals.
Additionally, David Johnson and Roger Johnson (1994) states that cooperation is working together to accomplish shared goals. Within cooperative situations, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to themselves and beneficial to all other group members. Cooperative learning is the instructional use of small groups so that students work together to maximize their own and each other’s learning. In other words, students in a team should work collaboratively Supervisor name: Đoàn Minh Huệ, M.

They are free to express themselves and listen to others. Learners refer to work in a team to complete common tasks. Teamwork is more than just separating students into groups to answer a challenging question that a normal student cannot solve; learners must collaborate in order to complete the work in general.
