using the English Discoveries programme.
As a leading
high school in Hoa Binh, Hoang Van Thu is the first and only school in the
province to engage in international cooperation and teaching English using the
English Discoveries programme. Attractive lessons and abundant materials help
local students improve their four skills of listening, speaking, reading and
writing.
From the success of Hoang Van Thu High School, the provincial Department of
Education and Training directed all schools to diversify curricula and teaching
methods to meet education targets and demand for foreign language learning of
local students.
The department has put in place training course on English teaching methods for
primary teachers. Meanwhile, those who achieved B2 level are arranged to give
four lectures per week.
With the emphasis on improving local students’ listening and speaking ability,
the department has invited native English-speaking teachers and volunteers to
teach at schools and organising English speaking contests and talent
competitions for English teachers and students.
The local education sector aims to have some 15 percent of kindergartens in the
province promote IT application and access English teaching by 2020, and at
least 30 percent of kindergartens access English teaching by 2025. In the
system of general schools, the sector is striving to have some 73 percent of
primary schools, 50 percent of junior high schools, and 61 percent of senior high
schools engage in the 10-year English education programme by 2020; and 100
percent of students grading 3-6 join in the 10-year English education programme
by 2025./.
