The Department of English/American Language and Culture is a panel of lecturers (full- and part-time) from the fields of language, culture, education, and applied linguistics. If the performance of a teaching staff is assessed in terms of knowledge, experience, and professional commitment, all lecturers in the Department of English/American Language and Culture meet these three factors.

In the field of knowledge, more than 2/3 of the members were trained from foreign universities (such as the United States, Australia, England, the Netherlands, and India) with the highest level of Associate Professor, Doctor of Philosophy. The lecturers not only master the specialized knowledge, but are also the 'soul engineers', who really care about the characteristics and learning styles of students, and have practical approaches to help students improve their knowledge and motivation.

In terms of teaching experience, the balance between experienced teachers and young lecturers is the advantage of the teaching staff in the Department. The well-designed curriculum, together with the selection and development of up-to-date teaching and learning materials, is a result of the professional experience of the teachers.

In summary, knowledge and extensive experience in teaching and professional commitment genuinely characterize the Department of English/American Language and Culture, actively contributing to the development "Hoa Sen International University" of Vietnamese people in the near future.
