Based on the cooperation between Tra Vinh University and Fellow Fulbright Program, in February 2022, there was a Soft skills course launched and attracted the participations of over 120 students from TVU School of Foreign Languages. This is a great opportunity for students to enrich their knowledge of several aspects of English Language and acquire professional promotion skills needed for their future development as English Studies students.

As an attendant of the course, I have been engaged in lessons specially designed to focus on enlarging students' knowledge of cultural divergence, miscommunication, and self-understanding. These lessons become so receptive under the instruction of Miss Olivia Anderson. As "practice makes perfect", there are two exercises posted and instructed in every class to help exactly evaluate students' comprehension. Lessons will be flexibly changed if needed to ensure that students can catch up during the course.

Not only does the course provide students with a closer look at interpersonal and communication but also work on improving professional promotion skills as they pertain to an international context, and some of them are time and stress management skills. Nowadays, there are more and more students struggling with time and stress management issues, so do I. In this lesson, Miss Olivia has presented the reasons for these two problems as well as their serious effects. After knowing that, together we discussed some solutions to rebalance our life. The lessons have been so helpful to me personally and I feel thankful to the instructor of this course.

Time and stress management skills are just typical examples among many others. Recently in week 10, we have discussed about email-writing skills in both formal and informal situations. These are important skills that every student should be equipped with before applying to a job position. Thanks to this lesson, I know that for different purposes and to different recipients, we should properly use either formal or informal writing styles to avoid being rude. Furthermore, having a professional e-mail address can show how reliable we are.

Up to now, the course has been over halfway through, and I can see myself significantly grow in it. For the next few weeks, we are going to delve into how to draft an impressive e-portfolio. Truthfully, this soft skills course is beyond my expectation. I am really interested in participating in more International Partnership programs like this in the near future.

After the urgent, serious and effective working process, the whole conference elected the required number and structure as expected to supplement talented, dynamic young people to the key positions of the Faculty Youth Union. The conference unanimously elected Mr. Dong Minh Thanh – the lecture of French Department as the new Faculty Deputy Secretary of the term 2019 – 2022.  Mr. Nguyen Nhat Minh has became the member of the Standing Committee of the Faculty Youth Union.

Prof. Dr. Pham Tiet Khanh, Rector of Tra Vinh University, said: “Each year, students of the School of Foreign Languages all hold GET TOGETHER event and are supported enthusiastically by the lecturers.

Truong Van Vi - a junior also from the same faculty, said: “GET TOGETHER is the annual music show of our faculty to celebrate Christmas as well as New Year Day. Annually, the show is always been well-prepared, and so does this year. This year, I not only join the GET as an audience but also as a performer. I think the show this year is absolutely stunning although there was a little problem with the schedule. All of the performances were incredible and impressed us in their own way. Especially, the play of "Get together" this year brought us great joy for the Christmas atmosphere that night. Besides, the fashion performances ended the show successfully with many wonderful costumes that suited the theme of this show.”

After each performance, our performers were awarded thunderous applause and the joy of the moments was captured in their beaming smiles. At the end of this show, all of the dancers, singers, lecturers, and students gathered to take photographs. This short snapping moment made the atmosphere more joyful and worth to have this annual show. The cerebration was profitably ended in satisfaction.
