Abstract

Bilingual education (Vietnamese - English) at primary level attracts attention of all stakeholders such as educators, managers and parents. In many schools, English is included in the curriculum since grade 3 or even grade 1 in some private schools. Some schools have piloted using English to teach Mathematics and Science from grade 1 to foster bilingual education. By using questionnaire and interview, this study investigates two private primary schools to figure out their education model and perspectives of school leaders, and teachers on bilingual education. The results show that although school leaders and teachers support bilingual education, the current models focus on enhancing English proficiency due to the curriculum and ratios of English subjects.
