Consultant

Expected starting day:
Nov-2023

Organizational Profile


Founded in 2000 on the belief that World Change Starts with Educated Children, Room to Read is creating a world free from illiteracy and gender inequality through education.

We are achieving this goal by helping children in historically low-income communities develop literacy skills and a habit of reading, and by supporting girls as they build life skills to succeed in school and negotiate key life decisions.

We collaborate with governments and other partner organizations to deliver positive outcomes for children at scale.

Background for this project
Room to Read will design and implement an oral language program. The program will be a 4-week summer course with a curriculum to support Vietnamese language learners entering Grade 1.

The 4-week course will support children's development of foundational Vietnamese language skills in an effort to ease their transition into a new educational setting where the language of instruction (Vietnamese) differs from their home language.

The program will include a set of teaching and learning materials and teachers implementing the program will receive professional development.


Room to Read will implement the program in a Northern province, with a focus on supporting schools and classrooms where the M??ng language is primarily spoken.

As Muong exhibits unique characteristics in relation to Vietnamese, the consultant will identify these linguistic characteristics and advise on the design of language-specific activities in Room to Read's curriculum.

This will help to ensure that the program effectively addresses the specific needs of M??ng speakers learning Vietnamese, ultimately enhancing their transition into primary school.


Room to Read is committed to ensuring that the cultures of the minority language groups supported by the program are positively represented and valued in our program materials.

Children should see themselves and their cultures represented in the materials. We are confident that prioritizing linguistic and cultural diversity will help to make our program relevant and engaging for the children and
communities we serve. The consultant will help to identify important cultural practices, traditions, and values of the minority language community.

Scope of Work:


The consultant will develop a comprehensive briefing (no less than 2,000 words, excluding citation) that includes a language analysis and cultural overview.


_ Language Analysis_
- identifies the linguistic similarities and differences between Muong and Vietnamese
- in relation to these linguistic similarities and differences, outlines best practices and important considerations for teaching Vietnamese to Muong speakers
- lists a set of potential classroom activities specifically designed to support Muong speakers learning of Vietnamese
- includes a work cited section documenting sources used to inform the recommendations

_Cultural Overview_

  • Describe important Muong cultural practices, such as traditional celebrations, rituals and customs.
  • Describe core values and beliefs of the Muong community
  • List any other important cultural considerations to support curriculum developers in creating culturally sensitive and inclusive learning materials for Muong children
The consultant should draw on relevant language, literacy, and cultural research and reports to inform their briefing. The consultant will also develop a PowerPoint presentation summarizing key points from the briefing.
