Osaka JALT:

English Education in Viet Nam and Thailand

Date: Sunday, February 9th, 2003 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:30 PM

Speaker: Professor Cao Loan of Viet Nam National University, Gerald Williams of Kansai University of International Studies, and Brent Poole

Description:
Professor Cao Loan's presentation will include an overview of the education system and her reflections on education in Viet Nam. Deeply rooted in Confucianism dating back to the early days of Vietnamese history, a profound respect for and love of learning are among the hallmarks of the Vietnamese people. As in Japan, the education system in Viet Nam is undergoing dramatic structural changes that could prove insightful for understanding Japan's current situation. Gerald Williams and Brent Poole will also speak about their respective volunteer teaching experiences in Viet Nam and Thailand. Ample time will be allotted for informal discussion over refreshments. Dinner afterwards at a Vietnamese restaurant for those interested.
