10. Summary of thesis results:

Teaching Vietnamese to international students in Vietnam has long been a very important task. Resolution No. 29 of the 8th Central Conference (11th tenure) emphasized that “promoting international integration to contribute to enhancing the position and developing the country's space” is one of the tasks that requires efforts and close coordination between all levels and sectors, including the military. Contributing to the implementation of that task, the Ministry of National Defense and Military Academies and Schools have determined to expand the scale of Vietnamese language training in the military and consider teaching Vietnamese to international military students as “an important, strategic task with political and diplomatic significance”. In fact, over the past years, Vietnamese language training for international military students at a number of academies and schools that offer Vietnamese language training such as the Academy of Military Science, Army Officer School 1, Army Officer School 2, Vihempich Military Technical Officer School, Group 871 - General Department of Politics, Military Medical Academy... has achieved many successes. Up to now, nearly 30 countries have sent foreign military students to Vietnam for Vietnamese language training. Many students after completing their studies have become interpreters for the Ministry of National Defense, military attaches or held many other important positions... but besides that, the training work also encountered some difficulties in terms of programs, students, teaching and learning equipment, facilities, teaching methods... Meanwhile, documents to provide solutions for Vietnamese language training are still limited and only exploit a few aspects, not general and in-depth. For the above reasons, we have chosen the topic "Training Vietnamese for international military students at some military academies and schools". We have conducted a survey on the number of learners, the current status of teachers and learning materials related to the process of training Vietnamese for international students at some military academies and schools in our country; especially at the Academy of Military Science. From the survey results, the thesis has clarified and highlighted the current status of the process of training Vietnamese for international military students in our country from the past to the present on the aspects of learners - teachers and learning materials, related to both skills and methods in teaching and learning Vietnamese. We hope that the results of the topic will be a useful reference document, adding to the system of solutions to improve the quality of teaching Vietnamese for international military students at military academies and schools in general and at the Academy of Military Science in particular.

11. Practical applicability: In chapter 2 we proposed some solutions and in chapter 3 we applied some solutions at the Military Science Academy and initially achieved good results.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

Teaching Vietnamese for international students in Vietnam has long been an important task. Resolution No. 29 of the Central Conference 8 (11th session) emphasized "promoting international integration to contribute to improving the position and developing the country space", which is one of the tasks that require effort and close coordination between levels and sectors including the military. Contributing to this task, the Ministry of Defense and Military Academies and Colleges have determined to expand the scale of Vietnamese language training in the army and consider teaching Vietnamese to international military students as a "as a crucial, strategic, political and diplomatic mission." In fact, for many years, the training of Vietnamese language for international military students at several institutes and schools with Vietnamese training such as Military Science Academy, The Army officer College No1, The Army officer College No2, Vihempich Military Technical Officer College, Union 871 - Political General Department, Military Medical Academy ... have achieved many good results. Nearly 30 countries have sent now foreign military students to Vietnam to train Vietnamese, many students after completing their studies have become interpreters for the Ministry of Defense, military attaches or hold many important positions...besides, the teaching also faces a number of difficulties in the program, students, teaching and learning equipment, facilities, teaching methods... Meanwhile, documents to provide solutions for Vietnamese language training are few and only exploit in some aspects that are not general and intensive. For these reasons, we have chosen the topic "Training and teaching Vietnamese language for international military students at some Military Academies and Colleges". We conducted a survey on the number of learners, the status of teachers and the source of learning materials related to the Vietnamese training process for international students at some Military Institutes and Schools in our country; especially at the Military Science Academy. From the survey results, the thesis has clarified and highlighted the reality of the Vietnamese training process for international military students in our country so far on the aspects: learners - teachers and learners, related to both skills and methods in teaching and learning Vietnamese. We hope that the results of the thesis will be a useful reference and supplement to the system of solutions to improve the quality of Vietnamese language teaching for international military students at Military Academies, Colleges in general and at the Military Science Academy in particular.

12. Practical applicability, if any: In Chapter 2 we have proposed some solutions and in Chapter 3, some solutions have been applied at the Military Science Academy and initially achieved good results.
