(Baonghean.vn) - Barefoot, sun-tanned Thai ethnic children, their smiles still tinged with the spirit of the mountains and forests, eagerly learn English with foreign teachers who are not experienced in the field.What sounds unbelievable is actually true in Bản Muộng village, Ngọc Lâm commune, Thanh Chương district.
 |
| To reach Muong village, a particularly disadvantaged commune in Thanh Chuong district, one must overcome long stretches of walking and wading through streams… but the Vinh Guru group – young people who love travel and foreign visitors – remain full of enthusiasm, eager to participate in charitable activities – teaching English to the children there. |
 |
| The English lesson was incredibly lively because the "teachers" were foreign tourists. |
 |
| They create humorous and lively communication situations on the podium, which keeps the students extremely engaged. |
 |
| Gone were the shyness and timidity; the students were completely absorbed in the practical lesson involving direct communication with foreigners. |
 |
| The students are confident in their English speaking abilities. |
 |
| Without books, notebooks, pens, or paper, the lesson time is a time for interaction and conversation among Western guests, aiming to train the children's natural communication skills. |
 |
| The innocent, adorable, and studious nature of the Thai ethnic minority students captivates foreign visitors when they come to Muong village. |
 |
| The volunteers also helped the children learn English through fun group games. |
 |
| Despite it being their first time visiting Muong village, the foreign visitors and the students there quickly became close and friendly. |
 |
| This is the second time the volunteer English class has been organized in Bản Muộng. The Vinh Guru group hopes to connect more young people who love travel and volunteering, and especially foreign visitors, to bring English closer to the children in this mountainous region. |
