This site offers both teachers and students FREE English learning resources for use for lessons dealing with food and nutrition vocabulary.

 

Why are these resources needed?

 

Most English learning textbooks are written in the USA, UK or Australia. The food, culture and nutrition in these countries is very different from Vietnam. Most of the food items in these books are not eaten in Vietnam and most students will never travel outside of Vietnam. By teaching vocabulary that is relevant to their needs we can make the class more interesting, engage the students and create rapport.

Some lessons also teach ideas about what foods are good to eat as part of the English lesson. However, what is good for a person in the UK to eat often does not apply in Vietnam. Vietnam has a very different climate, culture, lifestyle and eating habits. The Vietnamese people are strong and have less diseases related to diet than people living in Western countries. According to the World Health Organisation -Western Pacific Region, this is because the Vietnamese diet includes a lot of fruit and vegetables and not a lot of animal protein and fat. This website includes texts and information based on Vietnamese government recommendations. This makes for better reading skills activities, as it is easier to read texts when they are about things that you know and do in your own life.
