Secrets to helping your child excel in English.

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - Vietnamese children are entering an era where proficiency in English is no longer an advantage, but has become essential. Parents need to provide their children with a suitable environment and methods so that they can confidently use English as a second language.

At the end of 2024, the Government approved the Project on International Integration in Education and Training until 2030, which includes the policy of gradually making English the second language in schools to meet the larger goal of international integration in education.

Therefore, learning English is not just about learning a foreign language, but also about achieving a certain level of proficiency and fluency so that future generations of Vietnamese citizens can use English as a second language. Parents need to carefully consider how to provide their children with a suitable learning environment and methods, integrated with the necessary skills for the modern era, so that their children have a solid foundation for learning English.

Effective foreign language learning should not only focus on knowledge, but also help children "live" in English 100%, inspiring them to actively explore , experience, and prepare for a bright future.

A 100% English environment – the key to helping children master the language.

Numerous studies have shown that the learning environment plays a crucial role in the acquisition of a new language. Therefore, to help children use English naturally and effectively, it is important to create a 100% English-speaking environment. This helps children develop natural reflexes and improve their communication skills without psychological barriers.

This environment could include: frequent communication in English within the family, encouraging children to use English in everyday situations; choosing educational programs with 100% English-language instruction; and exposing children to English-language materials such as books, stories, cartoons, and age-appropriate songs.

At the VUS (Vietnam-America English Language Institute), creating a learning environment entirely in English is a priority, especially for primary school children – the golden age for forming language habits. For many years, SuperKids classes at VUS have not only provided knowledge but also helped children practice communicating in English in all situations, building confidence and natural language reflexes.

Active learning with the Discovery Learning method.

Instead of learning English in the traditional way, children need to be exposed to active learning methods through discovery (Discovery Learning). This method helps children develop critical thinking, the ability to ask questions, observe, and draw their own conclusions, making learning more enjoyable and effective.

At VUS, this method is applied through lessons designed based on real-life situations, helping children understand how to use the language in everyday life. Group activities and learning projects help children communicate and debate in English naturally.

Beyond providing a modern learning environment, SuperKids integrates technology to optimize the learning experience, empowering children to be 100% proactive in their learning with the OVI learning app. Thanks to interactive games, a rich system of exercises, and engaging competitive challenges on OVI, learning is no longer a chore but becomes a part of children's daily fun.

- Effective Learning Skills: helps children develop critical thinking, improve their memory, and actively acquire knowledge.

- Happy Life Skills: developing emotional intelligence, communication skills, emotional control, and teamwork.

Choose a center that guarantees output according to international standards.

Evaluating academic performance through international certifications is a crucial step in providing parents with a clear picture of their child's progress. At VUS, each learning stage is assessed through internationally standardized exams, and students are also honored at important events, motivating them to continue developing.

With over 200,000 students achieving Cambridge certificates, VUS is one of the institutions with the highest number of students obtaining international certificates in Vietnam. This is a testament to the success of the SuperKids teaching methodology.
