- Ms. Nguyen Thi Van Trang Chief Executive Officer

Founded in 2023, Hoang Mai Star School aims to create a school of international quality while embracing Vietnamese cultural values. Recognizing the importance of global communication, the school places a strong focus on English teaching, making the IELTS Program an official subject in its curriculum. As part of its pioneering digital transformation strategy, Hoang Mai Star School partnered with ELSA to promote the adoption of technology in its English teaching and learning program.

The Challenge

Hoang Mai Star School needed an effective tool to complement in-person English instruction, specifically for its IELTS teaching and learning program. They required a safe and convenient platform that allowed for independent student practice. Additionally, the administration sought a solution that could reduce costs, save time, and alleviate the heavy workload for teachers conducting speaking assessments.

The Solution

The school partnered with ELSA to digitize and elevate its IELTS Speaking program. The collaboration featured AI-powered customized assessments that measure pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary while providing IELTS-equivalent scores. Students built communication confidence through immersive role-play practice across various scenarios, and teachers utilized a comprehensive dashboard to accurately monitor and track learning progress over time.

The Results

After three months of implementation, the ELSA program delivered highly positive results with exceptional student engagement. The platform successfully digitized IELTS test preparation, and students completed over 84,400 lessons, demonstrating a strong commitment to independent learning.

"I am impressed with the robust content library, which serves as a foundational knowledge base for the students before they pursue higher education, and get exposed to multiple industries in the market."

— Ms. Trieu Thu Hang, Vice Principal
