In the context of deepening international integration, developing English communication competence from an early age has become essential for Vietnamese students. This study aims to design and evaluate the initial feasibility and effectiveness of an English Speaking Day (ESD) model suitable for third-grade students, creating a more regular and natural English practice environment in Vietnamese primary schools. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, including a survey of 33 students and parents at a language center in Hanoi to analyze the current state of English learning, followed by a small-scale pilot implementation with 10 students over four weeks focusing on the "Family" theme. Results indicate that ESD significantly improved students' confidence (+3.4 points), fluency (+2.6 points), and accuracy (+1.4 points) in English speaking, while also enhancing participation willingness and learning motivation. The study provides a scientifically-grounded ESD process with detailed lesson plans applicable to Vietnamese primary schools, along with specific recommendations for implementation across different school contexts. Although limited by small sample size and short duration, this pilot study demonstrates the potential of ESD as an effective tool for creating enhanced English practice environments, supporting students' communicative competence development in alignment with Vietnam's general education reform objectives.
