Introduction
Language is one of the most meaningful and essential tools between people. People mainly
utilize one language in order to exchange with each other. Moreover, a few languages are talk
generally by several people however; most of the other languages are utilized by specific
people. At present, English is regarded as one of the international languages, which is
fluently utilized by about 1.6 billion speakers in the world. Therefore, it can be said that this
language is taught as either a second language or foreign language in all sections of the
educational system in most of the nations in the world. As opined by Zhang (2016), the issue
is that the Vietnamese students are mainly taught English by the teachers of Vietnam. It has
been seen that a good number of studies attempted have evidenced that the intervention of the
mother tongue is an excessive issue in English as a Foreign Language writing contexts.
Significance of the study
The aim of EFL teaching in Vietnam has conventionally been on the form of language of the
focused language. In specific, in Vietnam, teaching writing has been simply product-oriented
as well as the written product is mainly assessed with respect to language knowledge as per
the set of conventions hugely retrieved from model or sample of a specific writing genre
(Nguyen, 2018).
Statement of the problem
As per the issue of motivation and expectations, Hayeck (2016) has mentioned that the
language learners of Vietnam may be confused and disappointed in case the description of the
vocabulary, as well as sections on style points and grammatical rules, are absent in the
English lesson or writing lesson in common. It can be desired that grammar needs to be a
crucial element in understanding the way of writing. Therefore, the questions may worth the
concern of the teachers of Vietnam concern is the way to amalgamate grammar productively
into teaching writing. This is because; the writing lesson can reach the requirements of the
learners of Vietnam as well as be in line with the writing curriculum goals, when neglecting
the old way embedded in the conventional writings lessons that are driven basically by
grammar. Dang (2016) has added that most of the students are encouraged in exercising
writing in groups or pairs which is mainly contemplated relatively fresh in writing classrooms
of Vietnam.

The aim of this study is to traverse the motivations and attitudes of the student-writer of
Vietnam in learning EFL.
Literature Review
Learning English is not a simple activity based on L2. It can be said that writing seems to be
the toughest of the knowledge, also in the first language. Ngan & Yen (2018) have added that
in ESL writing is the most problematic of the language capabilities in order to gain. English
is one of the second languages which have become one language of learning and teaching in
the higher education in Vietnam. Some of the advantages of writing that are the skill of
writing are particular capabilities which assist the writers keep their ideas into words in a
worthy type and to communicate with the actual message.
Mistakes in writing paragraph
Kind of explanation permits a detailed explanation of particular mistake as well as for an
amount of a bulk of mistakes. Phạm (2017) has added that distinguished sources of error into
permutation, substitution and addition. Sources of mistakes into 2 common divisions: these
which caused from mother tongue in intrusion that is the negative effect of the mother tongue
of the students and those which caused from between L2 intrusion system itself that is the
negative move of products within the focused language.
The impact of mother tongue on writing of EFL learners
The second language acquisition is the procedure of obtaining one foreign or second
language. As per Nguyen et al. (2018), the idea of SLA terms as the systematic study of the
way one learns a second language that is L2. Any language except mother tongue learners
basically try to gain in any situation is explained as SLA. There have been some studies in
Vietnam which coincide with the international linguistic worry. Of the three factors of
language, organization, content and writing, this is fair to inform that the language has been
contemplated the most difficult for the writers of L2. This is because of their restricted
language proficiency or restricted linguistic skills. However, Tran & Nguyen (2018) have
mentioned that insufficient language skill leads to non-productive writing of L2 in terms of
the variances among the second and first language. Vocabulary and grammar are discerned to
be the prime issues obligating the productive writing of EFL or ESL learners. Because of this,
the writers of L2 are pushed by the regulations of their 1st language, which basically leads to
acting errors in the written jobs of the students. Most of the researchers have therefore,
attempted studies on the issues got in writing of students.
