10. Summary of thesis results:
(summarize the results of the thesis, emphasizing new results if any)
- First, this master's thesis systematizes the Foucaultian discourse theory and discourse analysis method - which are widely used in the fields of Literature, Linguistics, and Anthropology - and proposes how to apply them to the study of Journalism and Mass Communication.
- Next, the thesis points out three popular discourses about specialized school students in Vietnamese electronic newspapers (Tuoi Tre, Vnexpress, Dan Tri, Hoa Hoc Tro) from 2019-2021.
- Finally, the thesis analyzes the materials and methods of constructing discourses about specialized school students in electronic newspapers during the survey period, thereby giving suggestions on new methods of reporting by the press on this topic, as well as some speculations about policy.
- The above results were obtained by simultaneously using two research methods: Foucault's discourse analysis method and Urban anthropological fieldwork.
11. Practical applicability: (if any) Propose ways to report on the press from the perspective of students and vulnerable groups, thereby avoiding the depiction of social groups in the press and media with stereotypes that simplify real life.
12. Further research directions: (if any) Analyze discourse about specialized school students in Vietnamese press from the beginning of the 20th century to the present.

- Third, I analyze the means and the method of discourse on Vietnamese newspapers; thus, I provide a new method of producing news about gifted students without causing harm to them, as well as giving some policy speculations.
- All of these research results are achievable thanks to the use of two research methods: (1) Foucauldian discourse analysis; (2) Urban ethnography...................................................
