Biography
As a post-doctoral researcher, Viet conducts research on digital storytelling in education, examining the relationship of digital storytelling to teaching and learning processes, academic outcomes, and social-emotional learning outcomes. As a lecturer in the School of Education, Viet teaches courses in writing, 21st century literacies, and foundations of education.
Prior to earning his doctorate, Viet was an English language teacher for 10 years and a filmmaker for six years. He has produced short documentaries that have aired on NHK Japan Broadcasting and published five English language textbooks for Japanese elementary school students. He spent seven years in Tokyo developing curriculum and conducting teacher-training courses based on these textbooks. Subsequently, he returned to Southern California and combined these experiences by designing and teaching a graduate level writing course at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) that challenged students to visualize and articulate their ideas through digital stories as a means to improve their writing skills.
Viet holds three graduate degrees: a M.A. in education with an emphasis in TESOL; a M.F.A. in film and television; and a Ph.D. in Education, specialized in language, literacy, and technology.
