The difference between them is that the primary sources are often original data collected through "instruments" such as surveys, interviews, questionnaires, "focus groups," etc. Secondary sources on the other hand, provide an overview of existing published knowledge on a specific topic, they are very useful in providing contextual backgrounds. Secondary sources can be articles in newspapers or popular magazines, books or academic journals. In fact there are different type of secondary sources: academic, professional, industry and company information. Academic: is very useful to add authoritativeness to a research because it is a source which has passed through “peer review” process, this means that the source has been read by experts prior the approval for the publication. Academic Journals, textbooks, and research papers are all example of academic information. Professional Bodies: are organisations formed by professionals in a specific field. Besides providing support for professional development, they also publish professional journals and therefore provide a variety of information on best practice and guidelines.

I believe that it constitutes a reasonable guide to good practice.

...1. Introduction It does not require any further argument to state that English has become indispensable part of communication in the world. In Asia, almost each of countries has its own language which is extremely complex and quite difficult to understand. Hence, English is regarded as a bridge which helps information exchanges among Asian countries get to be more simply. It is fairly hard for Asian learners to use English correctly and effectively, especially speaking skill although they have been trained this language for a long time. When interviewing students from five Asian nations, Erlenawat has concluded that these learning difficulties are grounded in weaknesses in students’ prior learning experiences – focused on grammar and reading skills in classrooms, not conversational skills (Erlenawati Sawir, 2005). Vietnamese students are not exception of these problems and they are getting trouble with finding their own effective methods to overcome. Despite the fact that many Vietnamese learners spent nearly or even more than 10 years studying English at school, they cannot pronounce an English sentence exactly and fluently. As a result, they are not self-assured enough to speak out in the language. It can be clearly seen that a large number of students understand English grammar very well and get high score in written examinations whereas their oral communication skills are very poor and they are often shy to attempt to strike up a conversation (Trung Hieu, 2011). In “Language...
