(Baonghean.vn) - Barefoot, sunburned Thai ethnic children with smiles still imbued with the colors of the mountains and forests are eager to learn English with foreign 'amateur' teachers.What sounds unbelievable is a true story in Ban Muong, Ngoc Lam commune, Thanh Chuong district.
 |
| To get to Muong village, a particularly difficult commune of Thanh Chuong district, one must walk and wade through streams... but the Vinh Guru group - young people who love to travel and foreign visitors - are still full of enthusiasm, hoping to participate in volunteer activities - teaching English to children here. |
 |
| English class is very exciting because the "teachers" are foreign tourists. |
 |
| They create humorous and lively communication situations on the podium, making students extremely interested. |
 |
| No longer shy or timid, the students seemed to be drawn into the lesson of practicing direct communication with foreigners. |
 |
| They are confident in their English speaking ability. |
 |
| No books, notebooks, pens, or paper. Class time is for interaction and conversation with Western guests to train the children in natural communication reflexes. |
 |
| The innocence, loveliness and studiousness of the Thai ethnic minority boys and girls attract foreign visitors to Muong village. |
 |
| Volunteers also help children learn English through fun group games. |
 |
| First time coming to Muong village but between foreign guests and students here are very close and intimate |
 |
| This is the second time the volunteer English class has been held in Ban Muong. Vinh Guru Group hopes to connect more young people who love traveling, volunteering and especially foreign guests to bring English closer to the children in this mountainous area. |
