Popis:	The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of the Basic English curriculum design and delivery at two selected Vietnamese non-language major universities specialising in Finance and Accounting. Research indicates that the curriculum framework in Vietnamese universities which is promulgated by the Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) results in heavy workloads for academic staff. This negatively affects their wellbeing and may reduce their effectiveness as teachers and researchers. This study which is part of a research study on the role of leadership in promoting and supporting the Basic English curriculum (BEC) design and delivery in two selected Vietnamese universities examined perceptions of graduates about the effectiveness of the Basic English curriculum design and delivery. The findings provide insights into graduates’ perspectives about the Basic English curriculum in two selected universities. Recommendations are offered to university leaders, curriculum developers and lecturers about redesigning curriculum to accommodate more communicative skills for graduates to meet the requirements of the workplace.
