The workshop addressed one of the most common barriers faced by English learners: the habit of translating word by word when approaching the language and attracted strong interest from UEH learners.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-154x116.jpeg 154w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-360x270.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From a practical perspective, the session introduced more effective approaches by encouraging a shift in learning mindset. Instead of reading word by word, participants were guided to read in chunks to better grasp complete ideas. At the same time, focusing on overall meaning rather than trying to understand every single word helps make the reading process more flexible and natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of writing, the speaker emphasized the importance of writing directly in English instead of translating from Vietnamese, thereby developing language reflexes and more natural expression. Vocabulary learning was also reframed, not as a tool for translation, but as a resource for use by placing words in specific contexts to enhance retention and practical application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-154x116.jpeg 154w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-360x270.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-154x116.jpeg 154w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-360x270.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/dsa.ueh.edu.vn\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The workshop created an interactive learning environment where students actively asked questions, exchanged ideas, and explored ways to apply these strategies in their daily learning practices.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the UEH English Zone \u2013 English Zone, the Language Workshop is a monthly initiative featuring a variety of practical topics.
