As AI becomes an everyday tool in teaching and learning, and with IELTS in Vietnam now fully computer-based, embracing technology in the classroom is no longer optional – it is the path every teacher must take to stay relevant and effective.
Recognizing this, VUS organized the “Integrating AI into Teaching and Learning IELTS” workshop – a space where teachers could learn, exchange, and explore how to inspire students in the digital age.

Exploring AI Tools for Smarter Teaching
Teachers explored a range of AI-powered tools and applications designed to assist in lesson creation, content adaptation, and student assessment. From generating reading comprehension tasks to analyzing writing samples, these tools showcased how AI can simplify preparation and enable teachers to focus on what matters most – meaningful interactions with students.
Mastering the Art of Prompting
Effective prompting is the bridge between human creativity and AI capability. Teachers practiced writing prompts that are clear, purposeful, and pedagogically sound, learning how to guide AI tools to produce outputs aligned with lesson objectives and learner levels.
This hands-on segment helped teachers see AI not as a replacement, but as a collaborative partner that amplifies human teaching potential.
Embracing Change: Teaching IELTS in the Digital Era
Teachers exchanged insights on adapting testing strategies, preparing students for digital test environments, and maintaining accuracy and confidence in an AI-supported classroom. This dialogue reflected the collective commitment of VUS educators to lead change rather than follow it.
The session was designed not only to introduce new tools but also to spark new perspectives – redefining how teachers approach technology as both a teaching partner and a catalyst for change in the IELTS classroom.
At its heart, the workshop was defined not by technology, but by the teachers who turned learning into a shared journey of growth and inspiration.
Beyond Teaching – Growing Together at VUS
Led by experienced VUS teachers who shared practical examples from their own classrooms, the workshop became a genuine exchange of experiences, ideas, and aspirations.
It reflected the true spirit of the VUS teaching community – where great educators never stop learning and sharing their knowledge to help one another grow. In this collaborative spirit, every challenge became a chance to grow, and every conversation lit a spark of learning.
At VUS, teachers are encouraged to step beyond the comfort zone of the classroom. Here, they don’t just stand before students, but also before their peers – confidently sharing insights, experiments, and lessons learned from real teaching practice.
The “Integrating AI into Teaching and Learning IELTS” workshop was not only a chance for participants to learn, but also a valuable milestone for presenters themselves, as they grow from dedicated teachers into inspiring mentors and contributors to a thriving educational community.
Each discussion reflected a shared belief – that when guided by empathy and expertise, AI and technology can unlock new levels of creativity, personalization, and connection in language learning. And behind it all lies what truly defines VUS: a place where teachers empower each other, and where the future of education is built together.
