Why does EIU Language Center (ELC) offer “General English course”?

Vietnamese people have the ability to speak and use English well, especially young people who are exposed to this foreign language from an early age. However, most of them have not really applied this language in work and life. The biggest reason for this is improper learning of English. Vietnamese students often focus only on learning grammar but they are lazy to practice; just focus on learning tips to get a certificate, but skip the step of accumulating and building an English foundation. In fact, in Vietnam, English degrees or certificates are very popular, but it is difficult to see someone who can use English really effectively.

Therefore, the General English program helps you to develop a step-by-step learning path in a comprehensive and effective way. Courses are always put students at the center, applying real-life situations to help students remember and use English.

Thanks to a clear and reasonable learning path, EIU Language Center has been chosen by thousands of students to accompany them on the journey to conquering English.
