For English education project.
Volunteers will be responsible for taking control of the English class at Thang Long School. There are no local volunteers and the volunteers are expected to work as the main teacher with the assistance of the Vietnamese teachers at the school in translating and maintaining the class. The volunteers are required to make lesson plans using the learning materials provided to ensure continuity in learning for the students.
