Workshop on breaking down misconceptions and prejudice in learning the English Language

On March 11, 2023, the English Club (CEC) – Faculty of Commerce organized a workshop for students of all courses on the topic: "Breaking Down Misconceptions and Prejudice in Learning the English Language".

The program had the participation of the Faculty of Commerce’s Board, along with guest speakers including Dr. Nguyen Van Thanh, Deputy Director of Department of Commerce; MSc. Vu Thi Quynh, popular Tiktoker and Teacher; Master. Nguyen Canh Luan, Lecturer of English Department - Van Lang University; Ms. Vu Quynh Nhu, representative of Easy Edu English Center. 

In today's era of globalization, English has become a fundamental language for communication, learning, and work. To assist students in finding an effective way to learn English and to overcome language barriers and fears, the workshop was organized with the aim of helping students to master the global language. 

Under the guidance of the guest speakers, the workshop covered two main topics:, "Misconceptions when using English" and "Overcoming the fear of learning English", students and speakers engaged in discussions and practiced effective English listening and speaking techniques on site.

MSc. Nguyen Canh Luan – Lecturer of the English Department shared: “If we consider English as a compulsory subject, students may not find joy in it. Instead, we should view English as a valuable tool for learning new knowledge and integrating internationally.”

To overcome your fear of communicating in English and push yourself out of your comfort zone, MSc. Vu Thi Quynh suggests:: "Don't worry, everyone faces stumbling blocks and makes mistakes. The same goes for learning English, if you make a mistake, correct it and practice constantly. It's important to identify your weaknesses to improve your skills.”

Through the heartfelt sharing of the teachers, we hope that students of the Commerce Faculty will gain valuable tips for learning English, and be motivated to continue their journey of mastering a foreign language.
