The four-day course involves twenty-six French language lecturers from universities in Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang and Nha Trang and six foreign lecturers from Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.

The trainees will learn about the social environment of tourism, basic concepts of French for tourism and methods of selecting teaching materials, and tapping supplemental sources, such as the Internet and other media. 

The training programme aims to improve the lecturers’ knowledge of the language needs in the tourism sector, and develop the quality of teaching French for tourism at universities in Vietnam and other regional countries. 

The course is jointly organised by the Ho Chi Minh City Pedagogical College, the Francophone Organisation and the Francophone University Agency with support from the French Embassy in Vietnam.
