Abstract

This qualitative study explores the perceived opportunities of the 2018 GEEC implementation for primary English education in mountainous areas of central Vietnam. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with seven experienced teachers and then analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2021). It is found that the new curriculum implementation leads to formal and informal professional development opportunities. It also creates favorable conditions to enhance students’ learning. This study contributes to the limited literature on curriculum implementation in disadvantaged areas, offering insights for policymakers and educators to support English teaching and learning in similar contexts. It underscores the critical role of local teachers in enhancing English education while reinforcing cultural pride among ethnic minority students.
