Some Solutions to Enhance the Quality of English Language Education at the Secondary Level in the Foreign Language Department of Tan Trao University

This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the English language teaching and learning process at the A2 level among students at Tan Trao University, with the primary goal of enhancing students' language proficiency to meet the objectives of the National Foreign Language Project 2020. Utilizing two survey instruments—one for students and one for instructors—the research offers an insightful and in-depth examination of both sides of the teaching and learning process.

The survey results indicate that students highly appreciate the curriculum used in their English language learning journey at the university, while also holding positive perceptions of their instructors' teaching abilities. The enthusiastic, dynamic teaching approach and integration of information technology demonstrated by the instructors underscore the university's commitment to improving the quality of English language instruction. However, despite the effective efforts of instructors, a majority of students continue to approach English learning passively. There is a need for students to cultivate a more proactive approach to self-study and research. This highlights the necessity for new strategies and interventions to stimulate students' self-directed learning and development in English language acquisition.

It is imperative to consider and implement measures such as active teaching methodologies and creating conducive environments for self-directed learning, alongside promoting student engagement and autonomy in the learning process. These efforts will significantly contribute to enhancing the quality of English language education at Tan Trao University.
