Some common pronunciation errors are found, including consonant endings and vowel sounds. The study also shares some strategies for learners to improve their English pronunciation. It will be a helpful reference source for not only lecturers and learners at ESPD, Hanoi University, but other educational institutions across Vietnam.Received 5th July 2024; Revised 5th August 2024; Accepted 7th September 2024KeywordsEnglish Pronunciation; Pronunciation Errors; English.
