One memorable session in this cross-border classroom was a presentation on the topic “Saying no to plastic straws” that was connected to more than seven countries from four continents. Students of the Muong ethnic group brought to class handmade bamboo straws and confidently presented their project on environmental protection awareness to international friends.
“Looking at my studens, who are communicating in English with confidence sparkling in their eyes, makes me believe they are on their way to become global citizens in the future," said Phuong.
Phuong also provides free online lessons for under-privileged children in India and South Africa. Her dream now is to create a Youtube spot to offer free English lessons, as well as share professional development activities and projects related to teaching for a sustainable development goal./.
