Dong A University’s guideline to conduct its English programs is to teach for real purposes and real application.

Overcome difficulties

According to the speakers, students from most Vietnamese universities don’t have good English. They don’t have a good English foundation and aren’t confident in English communication. Therefore, lecturers should make great efforts to help students have better experience and to seek for effective ways of English learning and teaching. There should be more English clubs and forums in which lecturers and students can assist and learn from each other.

Mr. Joel Swenddal

English learning requires students’ effort and patience

Speaker Heather Swenddal: Perseverance is very important

The patience to learn English is originated from the students’ perception to “Investing in knowledge to positively change lives” and build and developed by Dong A lecturers with their dedication.
