 5. Method

• Language competency is achieved through exposure and communication. Thus, we aim to maximize student speaking time in the class.

• Students speak Vietnamese from day one.

• Vietnamese is not just the subject of the class. It’s the environment of the class. The use of English and other languages is kept to a minimum.

• We teach authentic Southern dialect Vietnamese. Our aim is to equip people to understand and communicate with real Vietnamese people. (Not characters in textbooks!)

6. Teachers

• Each of our teachers has at least one of the following: a degree in languages or linguistics / a languageteaching certificate / a minimum 2 years’ language teaching experience.

• Our teachers are experienced language learners, as well as teachers. They each speak at least one or two second languages fluently.
