TOEFL Primary is a series of highly researched tests designed specifically to develop and evaluate young learners (primary school students) English proficiency and thinking skills both academically and socially.
The HCM City Department of Education and Training revealed plans for implementing TOEFL Primary, throughout the City’s primary school system in the 2014-2015 academic year at a seminar on July 22.
Nguyen Quang Vinh, head of the department’s Primary Education Division said the enhanced English programme has been introduced at primary schools in the city since 2000.
The programme has been tremendously successful with around 300,000 primary students having participated, Vinh said. During the seminar, teachers shared experiences in teaching English for primary students through diverse activities such as maths and science, culture and story-telling.
In addition, representatives from IIG Vietnam – an officially-authorised unit of the Education Testing Service (ETS) introduced issues related to TOEFL Primary and committed to supporting teachers in teaching primary English.
