The British Council Viet Nam is now inviting applications for innovative and collaborative approaches to explore a more inclusive and accessible approach to the provision of English language teaching and learning in Viet Nam post Covid-19, which, as we all know, has had a massively disruptive effect on education systems globally, including here in Viet Nam. This highlights the need for innovative and sustainable digital solutions that can promote access to quality English education for learners, while building teacher capacity. This opportunity is in line with the collaboration plan for 2021-22, with a vision for the next four years signed by Ministry of Education and Training, the National Foreign Languages Project (NFLP) and the British Council Viet Nam. UK and Vietnamese universities, ELT and EdTech organisations are now invited to partner and bid for grant funds to further contribute to the development of English teaching, learning and assessment in Viet Nam’s education system. The funding is up to GBP100,000.

This Call for Proposal comes under English for Education Systems Viet Nam’s ELT in Education strand. It’s aims are to:
• Establish a network of pilot TAGs focusing on teachers from one (or consortia of up to five) DOETs
• Develop content and implement TAG programmes across a 12-month period (semester 2, summer vacation and semester 1)
• Monitor and evaluate the TAG projects and their impact on teachers’ CPD.

Please see more information in the attachment.
