The main purpose is to provide highly-qualified training for labor force, equipping students with effective and practical professional skills related to electricity, mechanics, electronics, information of technology and economics. The Vocational College also provides communicative English skills.
The college teaches around 2.000 students, ranging in age from 18 to 22 years old. Among the 100 staff members working at the college, there are also 10 English teachers. Supporting them in the speaking lessons is your task as a volunteer. The students do have some knowledge of English, but as it is often the case with Vietnamese people, they have poor pronunciation due to their lack of contact with native English speakers.
Each class has one Vietnamese English-teacher and around 20 to 40 students and takes 55 minutes. The volunteer participates in different classes per day, working from Monday to Friday, from 7:30 to 17:30. Working table will be arranged by College and CSDS.
There are extra classes for students on Saturday and for teachers in the evening in the college. They are NOT obligatory for the volunteers because it is after their working time.

The volunteers teach English to the teach students and teachers of the school, focusing on communication English.
Each class is run by an English-speaking Vietnamese teacher who teaches according to the governmental curriculum. Volunteer might be supported to prepare the lessons by the college or yourself, base on a standard of college. During the first 20 minutes the volunteer should support the teacher while doing exercises, correcting the pronunciation keeping them in silence or assisting the teacher in any activity required. The second part of the class takes place during the last 25 minutes in which the volunteer will prepare activities and games to practice pronunciation and communication skills with the students.
They work with the support of an audiovisual projector in the classroom. The volunteers have to follow the established curriculum but we encourage as well developing funny and more participative activities and games to practice the pronunciation and communication skills with the students. There are extra English classes in which the volunteers can prepare the lessons freely, choosing the topics, activities, discussions or games they prefer. They do not have to follow the governmental book.
