Current State of Using English by University Students in Social Communication

Abstract

Currently, the demand for learning foreign languages is very high, increasing sharply compared to previous years. But students are very busy not only studying subjects but also having to work part-time, so it is difficult to spend time learning foreign languages. Language learning requires an investment of time, with clear goals. Learning to pass an exam is different from learning to communicate. The most important thing is method and determination. English is essential if students without English will be left behind. Especially when learning English, students need to communicate to become a professional skill in the future. However, learning English well and communicating in English are two different categories. Students can learn to read and write very well, but they do not communicate well. Therefore, the paper will present (1) Overview of communicative English, (2) Current status of students' use of communicative English, (3) Solutions to improve students' English communication ability.
