In particular, SEAMEO RETRAC provides language training primarily English for special pre-departure programs, and those under government funding and from different sectors. If you are looking for unusual, interesting experience for a sabbatical leave or for summer employment, consider teaching English at SEAMEO RETRAC.

The Center will work with individuals to finalize details for teaching including signing a working contract, assisting in visa application and housing, negotiating a suitable salary rate and facilitating the teaching process.  The Center is especially interested in native speakers of English and will accept teachers with relevant education backgrounds. In addition, working conditions are pleasant and all the SEAMEO RETRAC staff members are friendly and supportive.

As a reference, you may contact Dr. Mike MacCallum at Long Beach City College, a long-time close friend of Dr. Do Huy Thinh’s, who has visited Vietnam several times and has his following remarks:

Dr. Thinh Do, Director of SEAMEO RETRAC, received his Ph.D. in International/Intercultural Education with emphasis on International Higher Education Administration at the University of Southern California in 1996 as a Fulbright Scholar.

He understands the U.S. system of education and the American culture. Teachers who work for him can be assured that their outlook will be respected and their needs will be understood.
