This study investigates how the Daily Dictation app helps students at a private institution who are non-English majors improve their English listening abilities. Although listening is an essential part of learning a language, it is always considered very challenging, particularly for non-English majors.

This research explores the difficulties encountered by non-English major students while getting ready for the VSTEP speaking test at a university in Vietnam. A total of fifty-two intermediate-level students, comprising 12 juniors and 40 seniors, took part in a survey evaluating their views on the test, challenges in preparation, and obstacles to performance.
