9th grade student achieved 8.5 IELTS thanks to Linearthinking method

Revolving around the importance of choosing the right age and method to study IELTS... education experts and IELTS 9.0 scorers shared their perspectives at an exchange session on the afternoon of May 6.

The advantage of being a “blank sheet of paper”

According to PhD student Ha Dang Nhu Quynh - academic director of DOL English, 9.0 overall IELTS and second-place winner of English Pedagogy at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education in 2018 - the fact that primary school students are a "blank page" when learning a foreign language seems to be a disadvantage, but in fact it is a great advantage.

Speakers shared at the afternoon exchange session on May 6

'When they are not yet influenced by bad learning habits or learning tricks, children can be guided from the beginning in a systematic, scientific and correct method. For example, regarding pronunciation, instead of being taught the Vietnamese phonetic transcription method which can easily lead to mispronunciation, children are immediately introduced to the international phonetic transcription table IPA. Similarly, instead of learning vocabulary by randomly listing words, children can be guided to systematize vocabulary thinking, or the Linearthinking method right from the beginning so that memorization becomes more logical and effective', Ms. Nhu Quynh shared.

Also thanks to Linearthinking to achieve an IELTS score of 8.5, Master Do Thi Ngoc Anh - lecturer at DOL English - shared in detail 'Linearthinking is a thinking system that includes many "sub" thinking with the goal of helping Vietnamese students overcome many difficulties when learning English, helping to delve into the nature of English, thereby building a solid foundation, continuing to conquer higher levels. This is an exclusive thinking system researched and developed by the DOL English team'. The Linearthinking method has helped hundreds of students at DOL English achieve impressive IELTS scores of 7.5 to 8.5.

Nguyen Quang Minh, grade 9, Tran Dai Nghia Secondary and High School, Ho Chi Minh City, achieved 8.5 IELTS overall after studying at DOL English.

Conquering IELTS early gives children many advantages

Master Bành Phạm Ngọc Vân, Vietnam market director of the New ZealandEducation Agency, Consulate General of New Zealand, said, 'For example, high schools in foreign countries like New Zealand do not have regulations on entry standards at each grade level for international students. To know the English level of students, the school will organize an English test or an interview with the teachers in charge, and this is quite stressful for students of primary and secondary school age. However, if they prepare an IELTS certificate in advance, they will be able to enter the appropriate study program.' In addition, she shared that New Zealand has a government scholarship for secondary schools (NZSS), and students in grades 8, 9, and 10 must have an English level equivalent to IELTS 5.0 to apply.

The Linearthinking method was invited by the Center for Information and Educational Programs (Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City) to share at a training session with 800 primary and secondary school teachers.

Master Tran Anh Khoa, academic director at DOL English, analyzed that at this age, children's willpower is not as high as adults, but needs to be fun, stimulating their interest in learning. Therefore, children need to find an effective and exciting method of learning English.

For example, children want to read news about their idol singers, always want to read information about them early and fully in foreign newspapers when their vocabulary is not large. "The Linearthinking method is a suggestion. Without needing to understand 100% of the vocabulary, with the Simplify thinking technique, children can simplify the sentence structure, from there know how to read or skip words while still understanding the main idea", said Master Tran Anh Khoa. He achieved IELTS 9.0 in December 2024, graduated as second place in English Language from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Ho Chi Minh City National University).
