Abstract
English is an international and powerful language. It is obvious that English is more and more important and necessary, especially when our country has integrated WTO organization, and there have been many foreign companies investing in Vietnam. Therefore, when you apply to a company, of course, they will request you to have English certificate as a necessity. At Dalat University (DLU), English is considered as a compulsory subject in some faculties. Seeing the importance of English, we have carried out this paper to research the reality of learning English of non-English major students at Dalat University, and to investigate the attitudes of DLU non-English major students towards English.
