Traversing Borders: Viet Nam Teacher Training Program helps to promote cross-cultural understanding and to develop new ways to collaborate and experience learning.

The summer program provides both Vietnamese and U.S. teachers with a unique opportunity to interact professionally and to deepen their appreciation and understanding of both cultures. Designed to meet the needs of language teachers in Viet Nam, the program emphasizes observation, skill development and reflection. Participants form a learning community where they can share experiences, master new teaching methodologies and skills, share diverse viewpoints, foster an awareness of cross-cultural interaction, and become partners in a transformation process.
