On July 18th and 25th, 2024, two special events were held in Hanoi and Ho Chi
Minh City to introduce new supplementary materials for K-12 English teachers.
These events were organized by the British Council in Vietnam in collaboration
with Nottingham Trent University (UK) and the K-12 SIG group of the
VietTESOL Association (VTA).
The materials, titled “The Magical World”, consist of two volumes specifically
designed for primary and secondary school students. They are the result of the
PRELIM 3 Project, a collaboration between the K-12 SIG group of VietTESOL
and Nottingham Trent University (NTU), with sponsorship from the British
Council. These resources aim to enhance the quality of English teaching materials
in Vietnam.
The events brought together 40 teachers in Hanoi and 34 teachers in Ho Chi Minh
City. Led by Ms. Catrin Egan from NTU, Dr. Lê Thị Hồng Vân, and Dr. Nguyễn
Vân Thịnh from the K-12 VietTESOL group, participants actively engaged in
activities to explore and implement the “Magical World” materials in their teaching
practices. The teachers shared practical, creative, and inspiring ideas on how to use
the materials effectively.
“The Magical World” not only supports students in developing their language
skills through familiar and modern topics but also promotes cultural awareness,
global citizenship, and a sense of responsibility in building a sustainable
community.
The PRELIM 3 team is delighted to offer these valuable supplementary resources
to English teachers. The complete set of materials, including Worksheets,
Teachers’ Notes, Audio, Videos, and Flashcards, can be downloaded at: PRELIM 3
Materials.
