Twenty-six French language lecturers from universities in Hanoi, Hue, Danang and Nha Trang cities as well as six foreign lecturers from Thailand, Cambodia and Laos are attending the four-day course.
The trainees will learn about social environment of tourism, basic
concepts of French for tourism and methods of selecting teaching
materials, and tapping supplemental sources, such as the internet and
other media.
The training programme aims to bolster the lecturers’ knowledge of
the language needs in the tourism sector, and develop the teaching of
French for tourism at language faculties at universities in Vietnam and other regional countries.
The course is jointly organised by the HCMC
Pedagogical University, the Francophone Organisation and the
Francophone University Agency with support from the French Embassy in Vietnam.
