Hanoi University of Industry (English teaching) (VNM-130)
|
Brief description and main aims
The university's mission is to provide students with education and training on many fields, levels and high quality science. With the hope to create opportunities for students to improve their English skills, the university sets up different curricula for both English-majored and non-English-majored ones.
|
Main ActivitiesThe fact is that lots of students cannot communicate well in English, even though they have spent 6-7 years learning it at school. Their motivation for learning English might be to pass regular tests or examinations; meanwhile they can barely use it in a real conversation. Regconizing this fact, the university arranges a constant courses named “Conversation Class” to help students on one hand, know how to use English naturally and on the other hand, be confident on their speaking skill. Each course starts and maintains upon the timetable of international volunteers. The number of classes depends on the quantity of students who register to join. There are around from 15 to 25 students per class. |
Volunteer tasks
Volunteers are expected to be the main teachers in the classes with the support of Vietnamese teaching assistants. The possible tasks of the volunteers may include (upon volunteer’s request):
Working time will be from 8.00 am to 4:30 pm but it is changeable, depending on the schedule of specific classes. Volunteers work maximum 30 hours per week including in-class activities, weekly meetings with the team and other outdoor/extra activities.
