Collaboration between English Teacher and Specialized Teacher Solutions to Increase Efficiency and Improve the Quality of Teaching Our Specialized

Abstract

The teaching and learning of specialized English at universities in Vietnam has been and still exists many inadequacies, difficulties and challenges related to issues such as training objectives, entrance qualifications of students, the development of curricula, textbooks, materials, facilities and teaching methods. Although the teaching staff is considered one of the very important factors in the training process, the concept of the direct object of specialized English teaching is still controversial with different opinions and consensus has not yet been reached. Specifically, the question is, is a specialized teacher or an English teacher to teach specialized English better? To answer this question, it is necessary to have a thorough analysis of what the goals and characteristics of specialized English teaching are as well as the necessary requirements for teachers in charge of this work. The cooperation in teaching specialized English between English teachers and specialized teachers has also been proposed by some authors as a necessary solution to this problem. However, not many authors have delved into the study of the characteristics of English teachers and specialized teachers as well as the principles of collaborative teaching implementation of the two groups of teachers.
