The university gate opens up a lot of opportunities for students to build their intended future. In addtion to specialised knowledge, academic clubs and activities are always the ideal environments for you to train and develop necessary skills. With the aim of improving students’ foreign language competence, the ESC of Tay Do University was established for the following reasons that students should not "ignore":
1. The ideal English communication environment

is the ideal place where you can consolidate, apply and practise the knowledge that you have learnt. Joining the ESC, students who are " afraid to speak" or "afraid to be wrong" will certainly be given lots of opportunities to enhance their confidence and communication skills with foreign speakers.
In addition, various activities at the club help you to improve teamwork skills - an essential skill in modern and dynamic workplace environments which is prioritised by businesses.
