3. Conclusion
The learning and teaching of English in Vietnam have received considerable attention from early ages, especially the communicative aspects of language. The implementation of grammar-translation has long been dominated entirely teaching practice. These obstacles are originated from deficiency in real use of language at the level of oral performance. That is, the difficulty in oral production and lack of fluency. Speaking skill is believed to be a difficult task since it requires special abilities to be mastered and generally success is shown through the speaking ability. That 's why psychological basics are indeed demanded in learning speaking
