About the partner organisation
The Department of English Language is under the supervision of the Faculty of Letters and the National University of Laos. Its main roles and responsibilities include managing teaching, conducting research, and providing academic services to society. The Department develops students’ English language proficiency and soft skills through various activities. It also offers master's degree programs in English for Communication and Management and Teaching English as a Foreign Language. The Department of English Language seeks the support of an Australian Volunteer to strengthen its ongoing efforts in curriculum development, teacher professional development, and student engagement. While the Department has experienced local lecturers and subject specialists, access to international expertise, particularly in Outcome-Based Education (OBE), innovative teaching methodologies, educational technology, and curriculum design, remains limited. A Volunteer would provide valuable perspectives, share international best practices, and support capacity-building initiatives that complement the expertise of local staff rather than replace it.
