This open access book examines the teaching and learning of English
for employability in Vietnamese higher education. Its content is
framed within one country to better examine the research issues
within the influence of contextual factors. This book investigates
how English can contribute to the development of students'
employability capitals, particularly in the aspects of human
capital, social capital, cultural capital, identity capital, and
psychological capital. It presents employers' and employees’
perspectives of how and why English is increasingly important for
career development. This book is a collection of discussions and
viewpoints from teachers, students, and other stakeholders like
employers, graduates, and course coordinators on current practices
and their proposed improvements to prepare students for their
future education, work and life. Based on empirical evidence, this
book calls for repositioning English language education within the
employability agenda to elevate its status and increase
stakeholders' engagement. This book contributes to current debates
on advancing the effectiveness of English language education in
non-English speaking countries, as a response to
internationalization and globalization.

This book deepens readers' conceptual understanding of and provides
practical insights into Vietnam's higher education reforms.
Globalisation has had profound impacts on higher education
worldwide, creating transnational linkages and junctures, as well
as disjunctures. At the same time, it has generated fluidities,
hybridities and mobilities. Within the postcolonial context of
Vietnam, it is imperative to identify the unique global traits that
characterise the Vietnamese higher education system. The book
focuses specifically on key aspects of culture and values that are
decisive to the reform of Vietnamese higher education under the
forces of globalisation. It critically examines how global forces
have shaped and reshaped Vietnam's higher education landscape. At
the same time, the book explores local demands on Vietnamese higher
education, and deciphers how higher education institutions are
responding to globalisation, internationalisation and local
demands. Based on empirical research, theoretical approaches and
the experiences of researchers from Vietnam and overseas, it
addresses critical perspectives on the aspects fundamental to the
reform of Vietnamese higher education and outlines viable paths for
the future.
This book focuses on models, strengths, opportunities, constraints
and tensions in internationalisation in Vietnamese higher
education. It reflects on key concepts from contemporary theories
and models of internationalisation and discusses the implications
for innovation, flexibility and responsiveness to local needs in
Vietnam. Based on empirical research, theoretical knowledge and the
experiences of researchers from Vietnam and overseas, the book
draws out the distinctiveness and complexity of
internationalisation practices and charts a way forward. It
examines the key drivers and dimensions of internationalising
Vietnamese higher education, and compares internationalisation in
Vietnam to that in other countries. It clarifies and discusses
tensions related to the appropriation of 'Western'
internationalisation practice and models, and neo-liberal
ideologies, to the local context of Vietnam. It provides readers
with insights into government policy, quality assurance and
benchmarking strategies, curriculum, the impact of international
organisations on higher education, international student mobility,
transnational education, employability, brain drain and brain gain
and brain circulation.

This book examines the impact of internationalization, student
mobility and transnational workforce mobility on the changing
nature of teacher work and teacher professional learning in the
Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. Derived from a
three-year project funded by the Australian Research Council across
more than 30 VET and HE institutions, this is the first book that
explores teacher professional learning in international education.
The authors address how teachers position their professional
responsibilities and learning in relation to the institutional
structure, internationalization agenda and policy fields in which
their profession is embedded by drawing on both empirical evidence
and key concepts and models of teacher professional learning. This
pioneering text provides international education and VET policy
makers, practitioners, educators and researchers with unique
insights and practical implications for enhancing teacher
professional learning and capabilities in international education.
This book focuses on the interrelationship between international
student connectedness and identity from transnational and
transdisciplinary perspectives. It addresses the core issues
surrounding international students' physical and virtual
connectedness to people, places and communities as well as the
conditions that shape their transnational connectedness and
identity formation. Further, it analyses the nature, diversity and
complexity of international student connectedness and identity
development across different national, social and cultural
boundaries.
This book explores the issue of graduate employability in regional
Vietnam. It provides a critical discussion of not only the demands
of the labour market but also the practices and challenges in the
development of graduate employability and career capacity building
at the national, institutional and individual levels. It discusses
graduate employability in Vietnam by analysing government and
institutional policies and taking into account the perspectives and
experiences of three key stakeholders: employers, graduates and
universities. The book highlights the development of 'employability
in context' for graduates in regional Vietnam to be able to adapt
to the specific social, cultural and demographic conditions of the
region and tackle new employment challenges.
