Lac Long Quan Vietnamese School and the Vietnamese Association in Poland have jointly held a webinar themed “Teaching and learning Vietnamese overseas” aiming to exchange information and experience in teaching Vietnamese for teachers as well as promoting Vietnamese teaching and learning for the young generation of overseas Vietnamese.

The event saw the attendance of Vietnamese Ambassador to Poland Nguyen Hung, Acting Director of Information - Culture Department under the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs Dinh Hoang Linh, President of the Union of Vietnamese Associations in Europe Hoang Dinh Thang, Chairman of the Vietnamese Association in Poland Tran Anh Tuan, Principal of Lac Long Quan Vietnamese School Le Xuan Lam, representatives of a number of domestic agencies, lecturers, language researchers and more than 100 Vietnamese teachers in 28 countries.

The webinar featured over 30 presentations and reports focusing on major issues such as contents and curriculum of teaching Vietnamese to Vietnamese expats, experience in teaching Vietnamese (online and offline forms), the application of technology in teaching Vietnamese and sharing about the situation of teaching and learning Vietnamese in several countries.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Poland Nguyen Hung speaks at the event.

Addressing the opening remarks, Vietnam Ambassador to Poland Nguyen Hung said that the Party and State had paid attention to and issued many policies to preserve and promote the national cultural identity and Vietnamese among the overseas Vietnamese communities.

The work of teaching and learning Vietnamese have gained positive results in recent years. In Poland, teaching and learning Vietnamese has been maintained and developed for nearly 22 years at Lac Long Quan School with responsible and enthusiastic teachers and administrators. The ambassador hailed the school’s achievements in teaching and learning English, especially the organization of the webinar.

Acting Director of Information - Culture Department under the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs Dinh Hoang Linh said the committee had adopted policies and measures to assist Vietnamese expats in teaching and learning Vietnamese.

Lecturers, language researchers and more than 100 Vietnamese teachers in 28 countries attend the seminar.

The seminar recognized the practical and effective support from the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs like organizing training courses on the Vietnamese teaching methods, providing materials for teaching and learning Vietnamese, building schools for people in difficult areas. In particular, the annual program “Xuân quê hương” (The spring in the homeland) and Vietnam Summer Camp have become great cultural events, arousing and nurturing the desire to learn the national language and traditional culture of Vietnam. In addition, press and media agencies have developed programs to teach Vietnamese on television, radio, and the Internet.

The State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Affairs expressed its hope to cooperate with the Ministry of Education and Training and other agencies to organize training sessions on Vietnamese teaching skills for overseas teachers as well as foster teaching and learning in online form amid the complex Covid-19 situation.

At the seminar, overseas Vietnamese teachers shared the teaching method associated with the national culture especially traditional culture such as folk songs and folklore. They also shared initiatives to improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching Vietnamese to Vietnamese people abroad.

Nevertheless, this method has drawbacks such as difficulties in testing, managing, and interacting with students, they said.
