Abstract

This study investigates the current state of English teaching quality for students at art universities in Vietnam, focusing on a competency-based approach. Utilizing a mixed-methods design, the research involves surveys and interviews with educators and students to identify key challenges and opportunities in implementing competency-based education (CBE) in English language teaching. The findings reveal an awareness of the importance of CBE; however, practical implementation is hindered by various factors, including curriculum limitations and the need for enhanced teacher training. Recommendations are proposed to enhance English teaching quality, emphasizing the integration of CBE principles to better prepare students for future career demands in the arts.
