Office Manager/Software Development Liaison

One Common Language Foundation, in partnership with the National Foreign Language 2020 Project of the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), Vietnam, is establishing a collaborative web site (Wiki) to assist Teachers of English as a second language to find and use Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) technologies under the name, WikiCALL.org.
MOET’s National Foreign Language 2020 Project is an ambitious plan to expand language foreign training from university levels down to early primary school levels.  Given the goals of the Ministry, one of the most cost-effective educational strategies is to apply publicly available language software within the classroom setting.  Public software, produced by various governments and universities, is a rapidly expanding area of software development.  One Common Language Foundation, a Canadian not-for-profit organization, is in the process of building a website, WikiCALL.org, that will collect, organize and rate language learning technology to be used by English teachers in Vietnam. This is a full-time career located in Hanoi.  More information is available at: www.onecommonlanguage.org/
