Project Overview:
This Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project ran a virtual exchange with English language teachers and educators from various areas of Vietnam alongside current English language teaching masters’ students at Coventry University. With the help of ViVEXELT; an action research project funded by the British Council Vietnam Digital Learning Innovation Fund and supported by the National Foreign Language Project in Vietnam; participants aimed to encourage partnerships between the UK and Vietnam to generate new research, insight and/or innovations to improve the teaching and learning of English.
Students from both institutions engaged in a virtual exchange course consisting of both asynchronous and synchronous activities such as live discussions and workshops on Zoom.
This COIL project aimed to foster the development of its participants’ English language teaching skills (ELT) and support the development of the speaking and interactional online skills of English language teachers and students in teacher education in Vietnam and the UK.
Online Tools Used: Email, Google Docs, Open Moodle, YouTube and Zoom
