A Study On The Factors Impacting English-Speaking Fluency Of Third-Year English-Major Students At HPU And Recommended Solutions

Abstract

This study aims to find the factors impacting the English-speaking fluency of third-year English-major students at Hai Phong University of Management and Technology (HPU) and recommends solutions to overcome these factors. This research indicates the key psychological, linguistic, and environmental factors that hinder students' speaking fluency and proposes practical, learner- centered solutions to address these issues. The results show that psychological barriers are the most commonly challenges, especially the lack of confidence. Linguistic limitations, particularly restricted vocabulary and slow translation also significantly affect fluency. In addition, environmental constraints, including limited opportunities for real-life communication and, the lack of interaction with native speakers further hinder students’ development of fluent speech. Therefore, the study offers a set of practical and adaptable recommendations. Finally, this study gives solutions for students that can gradually eliminate hesitation, expand their active vocabulary and develop English communication skills to speak naturally and fluently.
