The International School Ho Chi Minh City – American Academy in Vietnam has been using data and learning analytics to improve, amongst other areas, the reading skills of their mostly English as an Additional Language (EAL) student population. Dr. Alex Aristizábal, Associate Director of Teaching and Learning at International School Ho Chi Minh City – American Academy, shares their approach and findings in the academic journal, GIST Education and Learning Research.
