Đánh giá tính khả thi của việc mở ngành Ngôn ngữ Anh trình độ đại học tại Phân hiệu Đại học Quốc gia Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh tại tỉnh Bến Tre

Tóm tắt

Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City Campus is the only university training institution in Ben Tre, currently only teaching Construction Engineering, causing many difficulties in enrollment and development orientation. Therefore, opening a new major is an urgent requirement, with the English Linguistics being proposed thanks to the critical role of English in the globalization period. This study assesses the feasibility of opening a university-level English Linguistics major at the Campus through secondary data and a survey of 5,485 high school students in Ben Tre. The results show that opening an English Linguistics major is entirely feasible, meeting the locality's practical needs and students' aspirations. Moreover, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City Campus meets the initial conditions for opening a major. Still, it needs to invest more in facilities and recruit more permanent lecturers to maintain stable training activities after the major is implemented. This study is of great significance in orienting development strategies, improving training quality, and meeting the demand for high-quality human resources in Ben Tre province and the Southwest region.
