 Summary, Suggestions and Reflection as a SEA Teacher Student Exchange Participant

Teaching  away from the comfort zone is a life-changing, enriching, and one-of-a-kind opportunity for personal and professional development. The most important aspects that I realized as an exchange student are summarized below:

Cultural blending: Teachers should immerse themselves in a new culture, language, and way of life by teaching in another place. It gives them a chance to learn about different cultures, ways of doing things, and points of view, making them more aware of other cultures and the world around them.

Communication across cultures: Teaching in another country necessitates overcoming language barriers and adjusting to various communication styles. It challenges us to improve their intercultural competence, develop effective communication strategies, and foster mutual understanding among students and colleagues.

Inclusion and diversity: Working with a variety of student  from a variety of backgrounds and experiences is frequently a part of teaching in other country. Diversity appreciation and celebration, classroom inclusivity, and the creation of an environment that values and respects each student's distinct identity must be master by all educators.

Language Development: Teaching in another country gives us the chance to learn or improve our language skills. Immersion, interaction with local communities, and opportunities for professional development can help us future teachers to improve our ability to connect with students and the community.

Adaptability and flexibility: Teaching in another country necessitates adaptability to new educational frameworks, teaching methods, and curriculums. As a future teacher we need to be adaptable, tolerant, and open to trying new approaches to classroom management, assessment, and instruction. 

Personal Development and Adaptability: As educators navigate unfamiliar environments, homesickness, and cultural adjustment, teaching abroad can be personally challenging. However, as a teachers learn to adapt, overcome obstacles, and acquire a deeper understanding of themselves, these experiences foster resilience, independence, and self-growth.

In conclusion, our experience in teaching in Vietnam is a culturally enriching, diverse, and immersive experience. It permits us to foster multifaceted skills, grow their expert organization, and add to the worldwide schooling local area. Being a student teacher exchange fosters inclusivity, cultural immersion, language acquisition, and personal and professional development while having a positive impact on students' lives.
