The competition will be launched in Ho Chi Minh City on September 17 by the British Council and the Ministry of Education and Training.
People, who pay concerns to the competition, can visit the website at www.teachingenglish.edu.vn and deadline for competitors to send their entries to the British Council will be November 15.
Three first prize winners of the competition will receive trips to the UK and three second prize winners will visit Singapore.
According to Nguyen Vinh Hien, Deputy Minister of Education and Training, the site is a very useful source of materials for both teachers and learners of English in Vietnam, especially for upper secondary school sector, which can help meet the need for strengthening the English teaching and learning capacity as the country is implementing the project on teaching and learning foreign languages in the national education system in the 2008-2020 period.
British Council Deputy Director Simon Beardow said that the website is a great example of how British Council’s Access English project remains committed to working in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Training to provide teachers of English across Vietnam with access to quality teaching resources and opportunities to engage with other English teachers from around the world.
Access English is a four-year project developed and run by the British Council in partnership with education sectors in Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
The project aims to provide support to changes in English Language Teaching in three areas: support for policy makers, lecturers and teachers.(VNA)
