1. Rationale

No one can deny the importance of language. Without language, how can people

communicate each other? Language is considered to be a system of

communicating with other people using sounds, symbols and words in

expressing a meaning, idea or thought and can be used in many forms, primarily

through oral and written communications as well as using expressions through

body language. People in any part of the world use language as a tool so that

they can communicate, exchange opinions and enrich knowledge.

Among more than six thousand and five hundred languages existing nowadays,

English is one of the most popular languages and used as the common language

all over the world. There are nearly one billion people speaking English and this

number is rising quickly. English not only is considered an official language of

many countries as England, American, Australia, Trinidad and Jamaica… but

also chosen as the second language in many countries as India, Ireland, Canada,

and China…… Besides, English has become international language used in

many fields such as world communication network and transportation,

commerce, politics, education…

In Vietnam, English has been taught for long time ago. More and more people

are learning English with the aims of widening their knowledge and getting a

chance to find a good job. Specially, in current innovation time, English is

regarded the key language in trading, banking, educating, information

technology…..People who can use English in communicating and working can

have many chances in finding a good job. Because of the importance of English

understanding, translation has become a profession

However, in the learning English process, not only new learners, but also

English major students meet difficulties in grammar. Besides, now a day,

teaching English grammar doesn‘t focus on grammar base, but skill base. The

advantage of skill base is to help people communicate better. However, to do

paper work or study more detail about grammar in translating process, people

need to understand on English grammar clearly. Grammar is always challenging

with learners. Many English speakers meet a lot of difficulties when they want

to express their opinions and thinking because English has it own grammatical

rule. It is easy to misunderstand when you understand basic grammar partly. The

learners can learn and understand basic grammar in a short time, but the specific

parts of grammar as relative clauses, dependent clauses, phrases, concord…, it

takes long time to study and put in to practice correctly. If only having deep

understanding about grammar, learners can translate and transfer information

and ideas from English to Vietnamese exactly. Besides, I realize the confusion

of learners in translating process is in term of lacking comparative analysis

between two languages. Special when contacting with nominal clause used by

the English, many learners don‘t understand the comparative analysis. Being a

major English student and a translator to be, I would like to do something to

help them learn English grammar and translation theory better. That is also the

reason I choose the ―The study on English nominal clause and Vietnamese

equivalence‖ as the title of graduation paper.
