Congratulations Associate Professor Ben Phạm

at the Temple of Literature

I am so proud of my colleague Dr Ben Phạm who was promoted to Associate Professor by the Vietnamese Office of Professorship Council.

In 2024 there were only 27 candidates in Education Sciences who were promoted to Associate Professor across the whole of VietNam. Ben was the only one who specialized in Special Education for children with speech and language disorders. 

She received the certificate from the Vietnamese Government on 29 November 2024 at the 1000 year old Temple of Literature in Ha Noi, Viet Nam, the first University in Vietnam.

Ben and I visited the Temple of Literature together in 2016 and dreamed of this day when she would receive an award there https://speakingmylanguages.blogspot.com/2016/01/the-temple-of-literature-in-ha-noi_2.html

Congratulations Ben.

I am so honoured to continue collaborating with Ben in many ways since she began her PhD with me in 2014. Here is a paper that we wrote together that has just been published
