ABSTRACT: This study
aimed to investigate EFL students’ perceptions of an English language training curriculum for English language
majors at a university in Vietnam. The participants included one hundred
attendants of the English language courses in the curriculum. The data were
collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The study
results reveal that five components of the
English language training curriculum for English language majors at the
university (including objective, content, material, teaching method, and
assessment) have not yet been done at optimum, as perceived by the students.
The participants also suggest making certain modifications in the five
components of the curriculum to make it more effective and better adjusted to
the learners’
needs. Several important implications and recommendations relevant to the field
have also been included.
