As part of its goal to increase the general English
proficiency of all students in Vietnam, the Ministry of Education and
Training has approved to use National Geographic Learning’s Life series
as the main English textbook across 26 universities. This initiative
will start from September 2015, and is expected to reach approximately
35,000 non-English major students in 13 provinces. Life was selected due
to its strong focus on 21st century skills, its engaging and global
topics, and comprehensive integration of technology.
As part
of this project , a special ‘Vietnam edition’ has been published,
featuring stunning new front covers, and a customized levelling system.This exclusive website has been created for 3 main reasons:
1. To prevent potential confusion with the International Student edition.
2. To provide teachers in Vietnam with more customized content for their teaching.
3. To create a ‘Community’ for Life teachers.
Our
goal for this website is to provide all Life teachers in Vietnam with
all the support and resources they need - not only save their
preparation time, but also to make their classes fun, relevant and
memorable. We hope that you will enjoy using the series and that it will
help you to bring the world to your classroom, and your classroom to
life!
