Vietnamese Twins Achieve IELTS 9.0, Share English Learning Secrets

In Vietnam, twin brothers Bui Quoc Khai and Bui Quoc Quan have garnered attention by both achieving the highest score of 9.0 on the IELTS (International English Language Testing System). Their success is attributed not only to their innate talent for English but also to a strong spirit of self-study and a scientific learning methodology, which have led them to secure high rankings in numerous English competitions. This development highlights the increasing importance of English education in Vietnam, especially in the current era of rapid advancement in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, posing questions about how to effectively pursue language learning. Vietnam is advancing initiatives to strengthen English education in primary and secondary levels and is considering English as a second language. Plans are also underway for programs such as a "National English Self-Study Month for Teachers" (scheduled for 2026), indicating multifaceted efforts to enhance the overall English proficiency of the nation. Educators with IELTS 9.0 scores are also sharing strategies to overcome challenges where diligent study does not necessarily lead to a strong foundation in the language, offering valuable insights for many learners.
