Description
Vietnam is undergoing a major change in English language education, moving from the traditional model of English as a Foreign Language toward a more communicative English as a Second Language orientation. This keynote explores how debate-based pedagogy can help learners use English more confidently, think critically, examine evidence, and respond meaningfully to different viewpoints. By integrating classroom debates into English teaching, the presentation highlights practical ways to strengthen communication, engagement, and critical thinking in Vietnamese classrooms.
