PART A: INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, English language plays an important role in increasing development of science, technology, politics, culture and international relations in Vietnam. For that reason, there is a great demand for teaching and learning English throughout the country for different purposes.
In the rapidly changing world, teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has
become one of the most prominent features of the English language teaching process.
Hutchinson and Waters (1987) reported that ESP is an approach for language teaching in which all decisions regarding content and methods are based on the learners' reasons for
learning. It focuses on using English effectively in specific academic fields such as
business, law, medicine, sciences, etc. In teaching English for Specific Purposes, no one argues that the scope of specialized vocabulary is a primary goal. As Robinson (1991:4) stated the central role of vocabulary as carrier content in ESP: "It may often be thought that a characteristic, or even a critical feature, of ESP is that acourse should involve specialist language (especially terminology) and content."
However, up to now, teaching and learning ESP, particularly teaching and learning vocabulary has still been far from satisfactory. With many similar characteristics and a
number of different features in comparison with General English, ESP is viewed as something hard to teach for language teachers.
In the context of Hanoi Community College (HCC), students start to learn ESP at the beginning of the second year. In fact, with a short duration of 30 class hours, one of the most important aims of ESP course for these students is achieving basic ESP vocabulary. However, with limited knowledge of vocabulary, it is hard for them to study. They often learn vocabulary passively through their teachers' explanation. In addition, there are too many new words given in each lesson, too little time spent on memorizing and recycling those words. Thus, there arises the need to increase the number of words they know, which requires a great deal of Giúp from the teachers. Meanwhile, the frequently used method to teach vocabulary in class is to give the explanations and Vietnamese equivalents, then have students do some kinds of vocabulary exercises and rarely give feedback to their students.
As a result, the teachers are facing a number of problems during their teaching process, which need to be identified and worked out as soon as possible to improve their vocabulary
teaching.
For all these reasons, I would like to conduct a research to find out the difficulties in teaching ESP vocabulary to second-year students at Hanoi Community College and give some suggestions to improve the teaching and learning ofESP vocabulary there.
