The need for native English teacher in Vietnam is increasing significantly. This is because more and more Vietnamese students want to learn from native English speaker
I. The advantages that native English teacher in Vietnam can bring to students:
First, a native teacher has a native pronunciation. Even though they carry different local accents, but whether they speak English-English; English-American or English-Australian, they are standard and popular English. They have a lot more advantages than teachers from other languages like English-Indian, English-Mexican, or even English-Vietnamese. And when going to class, the native teachers’ pronunciation is always the best model for students to practice with.
Secondly, native teachers understand the differences and subtleties of English more than anyone else. They know how the meaning of the vocabulary in different contexts will transform, knowing which sentences are mean, playful or sarcastic. They smoothly use colloquial sayings, short sentences or slang words. Have you ever stood in the middle of a group of American friends and tried some slang in English to make them laugh? You will have to practice a lot to get the expressions “at the right time, in the right place”, matching the slang words used. The native teachers will help students speak English so that they are most natural, not beautiful or overly formal like reading speeches in books.
II. Why do Vietnamese students want to learn from a native English speaker?
They want to have challenges: If a student level is average, above intermediate, or advanced, they will want to be inspired or motivated. A native teacher will be able to challenge them in listening and communicating. With a native teacher, Vietnamese students can really build a wide vocabulary and this can be great for a higher level student.
Understanding different cultures: If you are planning to use English abroad or with English speakers in your country, you cannot just learn sentence, structure, and grammar. You also want to learn about different cultures as well. You need to understand the communication styles in America. When do Americans add indirect messages to their sentences? How will you react to that? A native English teacher can explain this to you.
Learning facts, natural phrases: In Vietnam, English teachers may not teach the phrase that is actually being used in the United States. For example, listening to the phrase “See You” is being used by English teachers in Japan but this phrase is not used by Americans, so you don’t need to learn it. A native teacher will not teach you “See You.” They will teach you “See ya later” or “take care” or “talk to you soon.”
Get the right pronunciation: This is probably the biggest reason for students to choose a native English teacher in Vietnam. As a native English teacher will be able to recognize and correct the pronunciation pattern for you. They may not be able to teach it better, but they will be able to tell you if you are pronouncing something correctly or not.
