The module provides learners with the basic knowledge of English phonetics and phonology

This course is designed to provide the students of English major at UTE with the large-scale view of the main features of the area of language study concerned: its scope and principles of enquiry, its basic concerns and key concepts involved in studying and analyzing pragmatic meaning. The course helps the students explore the relationship between semantics and pragmatics, the two branches of linguistics that look at the meaning. The course also covers the area of language function that embraces the use of language in social contexts (knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it - and how to "be" with other people).

This course is designed for second-year university students in order to provide them with fundamental knowledge about Cultures in general and Vietnamese culture in particular, especially the original values through which our international fellows can distinguish between Vietnamese culture and those from East-Southern Asian regions and all over the world. 

After this course, students can understand the basic characteristics along with the cores of traditional and modern Vietnamese cultures. Also, they can self-navigate in the recent multi-form and multi-direction information world as well as the time when globalization and internationalization are taking place progressively in various fields, including cultures. Subsequently, students would be able to selectively obtain the essences of humanity on the basis of integration, not fusion.

This course is designed for second-year English-majored university students and aims at equipping them with fundamental knowledge about the nature of human languages; the relationship between language and culture; basic understandings related to grammar, phonetics, lexicon, semantics and pragmatics. As a result, students can actively implement this knowledge to have further insights into learning and research about their mother tongue as well as their major or minor language.

In addition, this course also focuses on helping students shape and consolidate several active learning skills such as researching, public speaking and teamwork.

This course provides senior students with the opportunity to practice English-Vietnamese, Vietnamese-English translation at companies in need, thereby having the opportunity to experience the real working environment and obtain job skills needed to expand career opportunities. During the process, students will observe the working process, conduct translation, report work, then learn to manage time effectively to meet job demands.
