TESOL PRACTICUM
GROUP 2B

Explore our journey of teaching and learning at the Naval Academy!

This portfolio documents our TESOL practicum at the Vietnam Naval Academy in Nha Trang. Teaching English to military cadets required us to bridge academic theory with the precision and discipline of a highly specialized learning environment.

As Master's students in TESOL at USSH, we applied theoretical frameworks in a real and specialized classroom — developing materials, delivering lessons, and reflecting critically on our evolving practice as educators.

ABOUT
US

Five students. One practicum. Countless lessons learned. We came from USSH Ho Chi Minh City, walked into the classrooms of the Naval Academy, and left as better teachers. This is the work we did, the moments we captured, and the growth we carried home.
