1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purposes of the internship

All students should keep in mind that the primary goal of any internship 1s to apply the theory and information they have studied in college to actual work Students who have a strong English proficiency, for instance, should utilize it to apply for positions as translators, English teachers, or teaching assistants

Besides, students majoring in English can not only cultivate more useful knowledge related to work but also learn new necessary skills to create a solid foundation for their future jobs through internship period Some skills that students can learn during internships include time management skills, communication skills, planning skills and problem-solving skills In addition to professional knowledge, these skills will be a stepping stone to help students build relationships at work and succeed in the future

Lastly, when actually entering a professional working environment, students will face tasks and challenges that they have never encountered before in college, and this is also a test for them to self-assess their own abilities as well as overcome existing problems

1.2 Significance of the internship

Before graduating from university, students of any major have to undergo one or several internships They need to treat this internship seriously because it will have

a significant influence on their future careers

During the internship period, students have the opportunity to apply university theories into practice as well as hone their soft skills, which directly affect their future success or failure

Another internship target 1s for students to directly experience working in a professional environment, get acquainted with real situations and know how to handle them smoothly In addition to interning at an organization, company or center for a short period of time, students can be accepted as official employees, work and stay there for a long time

The goal of Tri Tue Viet English Center 1s to offer affordable, high-quality English mstruction to students at every level, from elementary school to high school, in a welcoming setting Students may easily study and practice speaking, listening, reading, writing, and grammar in this setting Vietnamese teachers will instruct students in reading, writing, and grammar, while international instructors from various nations will oversee speaking and listening lessons with the help of a teaching assistant Foreign teachers switch up their sessions every six months, which gives the students opportunity to practice understanding and listening to English spoken with a variety of accents Teachers may adequately help pupils in a class of 10 to 15 when there are a moderate number of students, and vice versa Parents give the center a lot of attention and trust to send their kids to study because

of the aforementioned reasons

During its five years in business, Tri Viet has also had its share of highs and lows One may argue that the center's strength is its constant effort to provide students high-quality courses at affordable tuition costs, along with a staff of knowledgeable and dedicated instructors who are always willing to assist students In addition, the center also organizes extracurricular activities and festivals for students Tn Tue Viet Center prioritizes quality over quantity 1n its instruction because it recognizes the needs and goals of parents for their children As a result, it avoids aggressive marketing and media manipulation in favor of a more quality-focused curriculum There could not be as many pupils as at other centers because the majority come to
