It is said that CEFR may lead to unrealistic expectations in the relation to receptive skills.
What is your opinion about this issue?

# data[].attributes.body
You mentioned that CEFR focuses on fluency than accuracy. But the test structure in Vietnam seems focusing on grammar and vocabulary. How do you think about this?

# data[].attributes.body
It's reported that educators should familiarize students with CEFR? Do you think that the current implementation of CEFR is popular and effective enough to Vietnamese students? What are strategies teachers can use to familiarize students with CEFR?

# data[].attributes.body
All the participants in the study are English teachers, why don't the authors conduct all the interviews in English instead of using Vietnamese? Thank you.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite applying CEFR, VIetnamese teachers often make changes based on their learners’ needs or level by adding other elements, which leads to the uncertainty in students’ real ability in comparison with the expected CEFR standard. Do you think it is a good practice? Why (not)?

Thank you.

# data[].attributes.body
From your perspective, should CEFR be a requirement for English teaching jobs in Vietnam? If yes, are there any pros and cons for both learners and teachers (Vietnamese context only)?

# data[].attributes.body
You say: "changes would occur", so what should teachers change when implement CEFR in Vietnam?

# data[].attributes.body
What are differences between CEFR and VSTEP.3-5? Why don't we use CEFR instead of VSTEP.3-5 because it just based on CEFR?

# data[].attributes.body
Could you share some practical experiences/difficulties in testing your students and how you deal with them?

# data[].attributes.body
is VSTEP only valid for 2 years or longer?

# data[].attributes.body
Between V.step 3-5 and CEFR, which is more prefered among Vietnamese universities?

# data[].attributes.body
In reality, students just learn VSTEP for graduation and cannot use it outside of the universities because when going to work or studying abroad, people favor international certificates like IELTS, TEFL,... rather than VSTEP. Is it worth being learned and implemented? What do you think about this?

Thank you.

# data[].attributes.body
in your opinion, what are the challenges teachers or educators may encounter when implementing VSTEP compared to other tests like IELTS or TOEIC？

# data[].attributes.body
What are requirements for the designers of local English tests?

# data[].attributes.body
The VSTEP only applies 3-5 levels based on the CEFR at the present. How about 1,2 and 6 levels?

# data[].attributes.body

Carefully consider: test validity, item difficulty and test requirements

From:  Minh Anh
Subject:  Viet Anh’s leaving party

Hi!

I’m writing because, as you know, Viet Anh is leaving our school and moving to Australia. I was thinking of having a party to say goodbye. Do you think it’s a good idea?

If so, can you think of a good place to have the party? How about having a party at home?

Would it be best to have it on a weekday or at the weekend?

Also, I’m thinking of hiring a band for the party. Do you know what sort of music Viet Anh likes best?

See you soon!

Minh Anh
