Thực trạng quản lý hoạt động dạy học tiếng Anh theo tiếp cận năng lực cho sinh viên không chuyên ngữ của các trường đại học quốc tế ở Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Abstract

On national reform and increasing international integration, higher education in Vietnam is required to develop human resources with comprehensive qualities and strong professional competencies, in which English proficiency plays a crucial role. The orientation of positioning English as a second language in schools requires innovation not only in teaching practices but also in managing teaching activities based on a competency-based approach. This study analyzes the current state of managing English language teaching activities based on a competency-based approach for non-English-major students at international universities in Ho Chi Minh City. A questionnaire survey with three- and five-point Likert scales was administered to administrators, lecturers, and students. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to evaluate the level of implementation of management functions. The findings focus on five main aspects: (i) awareness of the importance of competency-based English teaching management; (ii) planning; (iii) organization and implementation; (iv) direction; and (v) inspection and evaluation. Although stakeholders demonstrate relatively consistent awareness, implementing these management functions remains inconsistent, with many aspects assessed only at an average level. The study provides empirical evidence for proposing solutions for improvement on managing the concened tasks in the context of international integration.
