Vietnam Grade 3 Curriculum - Foreign Language

Foreign Language 1 is a compulsory subject in Vietnam starting from Grade 3. This was introduced in 2017, along with computer training. While specific learning objectives for Grade 3 Foreign Language 1 are not readily available, the overall aim of the national foreign language curriculum is to equip students with communication skills in the chosen language. Students typically begin learning English as a foreign language in Grade 3, although some schools may offer it earlier. Other foreign languages offered include French, Chinese, and Russian. The Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) governs the curriculum, and there are pilot programs in place to develop communicative language teaching approaches.
