Very recently, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has issued the Common Framework of Competencies in Foreign Languages on the basis of the Common European Framework of References for Languages: Teaching, Learning and Assessment, commonly called the CEFR. As the official institutionalization of the Vietnamese Common Framework was preceded the policy of using the CEFR to define the competencies in English, this thesis uses the term the CEFR. The innovation is a very recent phenomenon, and because of this most of educational institutions in the country do not hav e the English language syllabus for the attainment of the goals defined by this innovation. This study is an attempt to develop a syllabus towards this. The thesis reports on the results of situation analysis and particularly the students’ current level of English proficiency, which are then used as the source of reference for the development of the English syllabus for the first year students at Quang Ninh University of Industry. The goal of the syllabus is to identify appropriate task types that are aimed at enabling the students to achieve the A2 level on the CEFR, or Level 2 on Vietnamese Framework. As this is just a suggested syllabus, it has not been piloted yet. Therefore, evaluation and modifications resulting from the piloting the syllabus is needed . The study also makes recommendations regarding administration and pedagogy that are needed to deliver the syllabus if it is approved by concerned people and authorities.
