Listen to the 'secret' to IELTS 9.0 from DOL English faces

Many problems are solved by Linearthinking

Mr. Tran Thien Minh (28 years old), currently an SAT instructor at DOL English, has achieved a perfect score of 9.0 IELTS twice. Previously, when he was in grade 10 at the Gifted High School (Ho Chi Minh City National University), he achieved 8.0 IELTS on his first attempt.

When asked whether people working in the fields of economics, medicine, etc. need to be good at English, Mr. Thien Minh expressed his opinion: "Being good at English helps us to refer to a lot of knowledge from abroad. For anyone, when graduating, being good at English will also help them work better, because the current economy is globalized". Thien Minh said that many of his students at DOL English are doctors and medical students and shared: "If they are not good at English, it will be difficult for doctors and medical students to read books, refer to, and research foreign medical situations. If you study economics or medicine, being good at English will open up many opportunities for the future".

Another question is: "Is it harder to learn a foreign language as you get older?". Master Tran Anh Khoa (28 years old) - academic director at DOL English and graduated as the second-highest student in English Language from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Ho Chi Minh City National University), achieved IELTS 9.0 in December 2024 - admitted that it is true that older people may encounter certain difficulties when learning a foreign language, especially in terms of pronunciation. However, in return, older learners have better logical thinking and problem-solving abilities than younger learners, so everyone can understand and apply a method called Linearthinking.

Thanks to the Linearthinking method, not only Anh Khoa or Thien Minh, DOL English also has another face who achieved 9.0 IELTS, Ms. Ha Dang Nhu Quynh. The interesting point is that Nhu Quynh was a student majoring in literature, not English. In addition, hundreds of DOL English students have achieved IELTS scores of 8.0 and 8.5 thanks to the exclusive method developed by the DOL English team.

Three faces at DOL English said that they achieved a perfect 9.0 IELTS score thanks to the Linearthinking method.

Explaining more clearly about the Linearthinking method, the two brothers said that this is essentially a system of methods, inside there are different small methods used to solve different skills. For example, in the Writing and Speaking skills, there is the Specify method to help learners think of deeper ideas and arguments. Or the Simplify method in the Reading skill helps learners grasp the main idea of ​​long and difficult sentences. The common point of the methods is that they are highly logical and thoughtful, and can help learners progress quickly when applied well.

IELTS certificate for international and joint programs

The issue that students who are about to take the 2025 high school graduation exam and apply for university admission are interested in is the English entrance and exit standards of universities under Ho Chi Minh City National University, especially international joint programs.

Answering at the program, Master Nguyen Thao Chi, Head of the Department of Communications and Business Relations, University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Ho Chi Minh City National University), said that the official admission regulations have not been announced by the Ministry of Education and Training, but according to the current drafts, although English is one of the elective subjects, in reality, the D block with foreign languages ​​(including English) accounts for quite a lot. This year, there may be adjustments and new regulations related to admission with international certificates. However, when entering university, you must achieve a certain level, especially in English-enhanced programs, international standards or joint training, usually 5.5 IELTS or higher.

Regarding English output standards, Master Thao Chi said that most majors require a level equivalent to B1 in the 6-level Foreign Language Proficiency Framework for Vietnam. Some majors require higher levels such as B2, C1. As for joint training programs abroad, students are required to achieve a sufficient level of academic English to continue studying at the partner school.
