Learning English vocabulary of non-English majored students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Food and Industry (HUFI): Problems and Recommendations

Using vocabulary should be a crucial part of studying and using English. Thus, how to develop effective strategies to remember and use vocabulary actively should be meaningful to English learners. This study aims to help non-English-majoring students at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Food Industry (HUFI) figure out effective methods to maximize their competence in studying vocabulary. Via mixed research methodologies, this study describes problems related to vocabulary that non-English majors may deal with while studying English. Then, recommendations for learning English vocabulary effectively will be drawn out based on theories on teaching and learning English. The study titled "Learning English vocabulary of non-English major students at Ho Chi Minh City University of Food Industry (HUFI): Problems and Recommendations" has some limitations, but it should be meaningful to help learners, at least non-English major students at HUFI, maximize their ability to use English vocabulary in reality.
