This will be a memorable moment for all participants on that day when most of the students did not want to say goodbye to the program and with FPT Education Global. “I don’t say goodbye. See you later!” a Japanese student sent a message to the Chatbox.

All students experienced 2 weeks together and throughout the time, there were smiles, surprise, excitement, sometimes it was tiring but they overcame everything to come to the Closing Ceremony.

At the ceremony, all students were happy with the programs and highlighted their improvement in their English language skills. “I had a good time and I’m sure that I will miss the people who I’ve met in this program. Before joining this program, I’m very anxious to talk in English confidently and communicate with new Vietnamese friends. But my anxiety has soon disappeared,” said Ms.  Honjo Natsumi – a student from Shibaura Institute of Technology.

She also shared that English Space was the most memorable part that helped her a lot to improve her English with new friends, attractive topics on culture and people. “After two weeks, I no longer feel nervous when speaking English. Thanks to my English class teacher – Ms. Anisah. She’s so supportive and kind. She never complained my weakness and if the English usage is wrong, she wrote correct sentences on the Chatbox”.
