- Description
- The expansion of English language education (ELE) has been motivated via persistent and questionable assumptions regarding the role of English in preparing university students for the job market (Seargeant & Erling, 2013; British Council, 2014). The diversification of the economy in Asia is the impetus for the rise of English language education reforms (Erling, 2014; Coleman, 2011). Students are required to learn English to foster their employability (Erling, 2014 ). Facility in English is central to achieving more desirable jobs (Aslam, M., De, A., Kingdon, G. & Kumar, R., 2010; Grin, 2001; Ku & Zussman, 2010). Various studies in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Iran, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka have explored the extent to which university students were prepared in learn English to advance their careers (Coleman, 2011; Erling & Seargeant, 2013). Research on the relationship between English language policy planning and Vietnamese students' employability is scant given recent extensive ELE reforms.
