I recently attended Cambridge Day, Vietnam in Ho
Chi Minh City, a free seminar for teachers organised by Cambridge University
Press in conjunction with Fahasa, Ho Chi Minh’s biggest English-language
bookseller. It was held in the plush
surroundings of the Kim Do Hotel in District 1.

It was a full day made up of four presentations,
two given by each of the two speakers.
These speakers were:
Tim
Murphey – a researcher from Kanda University
of International Studies in Japan. He is
the co-author of ‘Group Dynamics in the Language Classroom’ and his current
research is into Vygotskian socio-cultural theory with an emphasis on community,
play and music.
Stuart
Vinnie – the Senior ELT Training Consultant
for Cambridge University Press in South-East Asia. His background is as a teacher, examiner,
teacher-trainer and coordinator.

All four presentations/workshops were
participatory, interesting and thought-provoking and I and my colleagues came
away with lots of ideas to apply in our classrooms. You can read about each presentation in separate blogposts.
