Learning English is becoming a need that most students are aware of and that the society demands, especially in the process of industrialization and modernization in connection to the open door policy of Viet Nam. Therefore, the idea that only English major students have priority in enhancing their skills becomes backward. In fact, every learner must be taken care of so that they can benefit from the modern educational opportunities. It is confirmed that both English major students and non- English major students should be given good consideration and education to improve overall. Even for non- English major students, the four skills as speaking, listening, reading and writing should be stimulated.

According to Dong Xiaohong (1994.31) speaking is “one of the most necessary language proficiency”. Speaking, thus, seems to be the most important skill that should be paid attention to in the process of teaching and learning. Likewise, today’s world requires that the goal of teaching speaking should improve students’ communicative skills, because, only in that way, students can express themselves and learn how to follow the social and culture rules. It is true for the non- English major students of culture management of Thanh hoa college of Culture and Art (THCCA) where learners are future office secretaries or culture managers who learn English in order to be able to communicate with the foreigners and to work as secretaries in the offices. But in fact there are a large number of students who find it difficult to speak in English. When most of the students are required to talk in English, they often stand speechless or they have to think for a long time about what they intend to say.

Moreover, when poor speaking competence is reported, one tends to blame the students for having poor ability or making insufficient effort. Nevertheless, there are other important factors in the teaching and learning process that should be taken into consideration. It could be unsuitable teaching materials, inappropriate attitude of the teachers and students toward the subject, teachers’ inappropriate teaching methods or insufficients class time allocated to speaking.
