Abstract
 

This paper will investigate the perceptions of Vietnamese students toward the teaching and learning styles in Australian institutions. The purpose of this study is an attempt to bring to Australian teachers, local students and international students the perceptions that are reflected on experiences of Vietnamese students when they are required to study overseas. Moreover, an overview of the different teaching and learning contexts between Vietnam and Australia will be delivered to the readers. The author expects from the readers an empathy and sympathy to the obstacles and difficulties which international students in general and Vietnamese students in particular are coping with during their studies abroad.
