For the number of the students at Hanoi University of Business and Technology, the matter might be a big obstacle. Because of their various and low levels before entering the school, the students find it difficult to master speaking skills in English.

The results suggested the use of useful expressions as one of the effective ways to teach and learn speaking in English.
