9. Scientific advisor: Associate Professor, Dr. Trinh Cam Lan
10. Summary of thesis results:
In this essay, we have, first of all, synthesized and presented the definitions, theoretical bases related to consonants and the basis of consonant classification; syllables and syllable structure; at the same time, we have generalized the consonant system and syllable structure of Italian and Vietnamese. In addition, we have also set out 5 principles for comparing languages.
Next, we describe the consonant systems of the two languages, Italian and Vietnamese, before comparing them. These are two complex consonant systems. The comparison not only helps us to see the similarities and differences between the two consonant systems, but also helps us to predict the advantages and difficulties of Vietnamese students in recognizing and pronouncing Italian consonants.
If the comparison based on phonetic concepts shows the advantages and difficulties of Vietnamese students in recognizing and pronouncing Italian consonants in theory, then conducting two experimental surveys on 121 Vietnamese students studying Italian at A1 level helps us to recognize both the advantages and difficulties in practice. Accordingly, we also conducted a survey of the opinions of 16 teachers teaching Italian consonant pronunciation at A1 level to Vietnamese students with the aim of collecting practical teaching experience, and at the same time making some recommendations to improve the quality of teaching and learning.
11. Practical application:
The results of this thesis contribute to consolidating the strengths and limiting the weaknesses in recognizing and pronouncing Italian consonants of Vietnamese students at A1 level; at the same time, it also contributes to the research on building lectures, study programs and textbooks to suit Vietnamese people learning Italian.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
In this thesis, first of all, we have synthesized and presented the definitions, theoretical bases related to consonants and the basis of consonant classification; syllables and syllable structure; at the same time generalize the Italian and Vietnamese consonant systems and syllable structures. In addition, we also set out 5 rules for contrast analysis of these two languages.
We also describe the consonant systems of the two languages, Italian and Vietnamese, before contrasting them. These are two complex consonant systems. The contrast analysis not only helps us to see the similarities and differences between these consonant systems, but also helps us predict the advantages and disadvantages of Vietnamese students when recognizing and pronouncing the Italian consonants.
If the contrast based on phonological concepts shows the advantages and disadvantages of Vietnamese students theorized, experimentally conducted two surveys on 121 Vietnamese students studying Italian at A1 level helps us realize both the advantages and the disadvantages from a practical point of view. formation, we also conducted a survey on 16 teachers teaching Italian consonant pronunciation at A1 level to Vietnamese students with the aim of collecting practical teaching experiences and giving some teaching proposals in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning.
11. Practical applicability, if any:
The findings of this thesis contribute to strengthening the strengths and limiting the weaknesses in terms of recognition and pronunciation of Italian consonants by Vietnamese students at A1 level; At the same time, it also contributes to the research and development of lesson plans, study programs and textbooks that are suitable for Vietnamese people learning Italian.
