Nowadays, with the tendency of globalization and integration, English plays the role of an effective international communicative language. Therefore, learning English has been considered a very important duty of many students. One of the most important skills in learning English as well as other languages is reading skill. Reading not only helps students widen their knowledge but also enables them to develop language skills such as listening, writing, and speaking.
Besides, realizing the importance of learning English, many students go to the English centers which are opened every where. However, both teacher and students at Sao Viet English centre do not feel satisfied with the results of the students in reading skill during the process of learning English. The teachers often find their students reading performance disappointing. And in fact, most of the students read with less understanding than one might expect them to. Many of them can not complete the reading text in the course book. Also, lots of them complain that they can not understand the meaning of the reading text. Why do the students fail to learn reading in English? What are the factors that affect them in reading? What are their difficulties in reading? How to improve their reading? These questions are in concern with many teachers in general and they especially interest me.
For these reasons, I decide to choose the subject: Some difficulties in reading lessons of students at Sao Viet centre and some suggested solutions.
