    The document discusses the renovation of curriculum design and textbooks in Vietnam. Specifically, it focuses on a new English textbook series edited by Prof. Hoang Van Van. The innovative points of the textbooks are that they aim to teach language as a means of communication, focusing on listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, as well as cultural competence, rather than just linguistic elements. This approach benefits teachers by focusing on practical communication skills. However, it also creates challenges for teachers with adaptable textbooks, crowded classrooms, and limited time.
