Environment and Attitudes Towards HUFI Non-English Majored Students in Learning General English

English language perception is still an unlimited issue among teachers around the world. Similarly, teaching and learning this kind of language at Ho Chi Minh City University of Food Industry (HUFI) is a challenging matter to solve the problem: How to enhance students’ learning of English. The objectives of the study were to find out the leading causes for the problems in learning English as a foreign language of HUFI students during two and three semesters and the role of foreign teachers of English in students’ progress. The methodology employed in gathering information was a survey conducted via an online Google form questionnaire. Participants were 200 HUFI second-year and third-year non-English major students. The result of this study demonstrated that subjective and objective factors including the environment, students’ attitudes and preparation were the leading causes of problems in learning English. Therefore, if students have good management in learning and are assisted in an English-speaking environment by teachers, they can make progress in their English perception. The data collected from this research might be necessary for later papers discussing more effective ways to help learners enjoy learning English. Recommendations in the light of findings are also discussed in this article.
