Language Link now offers a new program which places trained and enthusiastic native English speaking teachers who love Vietnamese culture, into Vietnamese schools for special English classes every week.

These are extra English lessons with a strong focus on listening with understanding, and speaking with correct pronunciation and fluency.

Lessons are well paced and interesting for students, based on familiar situations they will meet when studying overseas, and topics on teenage lifestyle, school study programs, sports and hobbies. The course includes opportunities for high energy drama role-plays as well as quiet writing and pair work practicing conversations. Excursions outside the school to local places of high interest for students may be arranged.

Lessons have clear aims, careful explanations, engaging activities and colourful illustrations.

Students have a workbook and homework to complete at home at home as well as a student’s book to study at school.

The course books help students to improve their reading, spelling, listening and pronunciation skills. A very useful mini dictionary is provided with the student book, and graded high-interest novels and readers help improve student reading comprehension

There are regular tests throughout the course, and opportunities for rapid advancement through to higher level English classes.
Students study up to 210 lessons per school year.

To attend the program students are grouped by Language Link Vietnam based on placement test results and age group.
Reports and Parent Meetings follow midyear and final exams which assess all four skills including: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.

Final assessment will also include students’ homework, speaking tasks and written assignments on various topics.

Our courses link directly to higher level English Language courses such as English for Academic Purposes in High Schools.
