10. Summary of thesis results:

The thesis has pointed out the context of Korean language training in Vietnam through two aspects: practical basis and legal basis of introducing Korean language into teaching in Vietnam from university, college to junior high school. From the overview of Korean language training context in Vietnam, it has pointed out the results that Vietnam has achieved in the 30 years of Korean language training (1993 to present). Although the results achieved are mainly in Korean language education at university and college levels, those experiences will create a foundation for implementing Korean language teaching more widely at lower levels such as high school and junior high school.

The thesis has also outlined the current situation of Korean language training at secondary school level in Vietnam, and then conducted an in-depth analysis of the current situation of Korean language education at secondary school level in Long Bien district through a questionnaire survey, and also presented the results achieved in the Korean language education program at secondary school level in Long Bien district. In the process of collecting and synthesizing documents, it was found that the current situation of Korean language training and the results of Korean language training at university and college levels have been mentioned by many researchers. However, the current situation of Korean language training at secondary school level has not found any research article that studies this issue in detail.

Not only does the thesis summarize the current situation and analyze the results achieved in Korean language education at secondary school level in Long Bien district, it also points out the advantages and difficulties in Korean language training at secondary school level in Hanoi in general and Long Bien district in particular. Along with that, the thesis also proposes solutions to the difficulties in the process of Korean language training at secondary school level.

11. Practical application (if any):

With the research results achieved, the thesis is completely capable of being applied in practice. Pointing out the current situation of Korean language training at secondary school level in the whole country and in Hanoi, and presenting the results that the Korean language teaching at secondary school level in Long Bien district has achieved will help the Ministry of Education and specialized agencies better understand the current situation of training and grasp the results of the policies that they themselves have set out.

By pointing out the advantages and difficulties in the training process, the Ministry of Education and Training will be able to draw experiences, continue to promote strengths and overcome shortcomings, thereby adjusting policies more appropriately. Through the junior high schools that implemented the pilot Korean language training first, the junior high schools that implemented it later will also look at those achievements and difficulties to automatically implement Korean language teaching in a reasonable manner in accordance with the policies issued by the Ministry of Education.

Not only stopping at pointing out the difficulties in teaching Korean at secondary school level, the thesis has proposed a number of solutions to overcome those limitations. Policy makers and relevant specialized agencies can refer to and propose comprehensive and effective solutions in the implementation process to overcome the difficulties, promote the positive points to help the teaching of Korean at secondary school level achieve even greater achievements in accordance with the expectations of the Party and the State.

12. Further research directions (if any):

I plan to develop this topic further in the future. Not only Long Bien district, the author will conduct a survey and deeper analysis of the current situation of Korean language education at secondary school level in the whole city of Hanoi. At the same time, I will also specifically analyze the shortcomings and strengths in the policies on implementing Korean language training at secondary school level that have been issued by specialized agencies.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

The thesis has shown the context for implementing Korean language education in Vietnam through two aspects: practical basis and legal basis of introducing Korean into teaching in Vietnam from university and College to Middle School. From the overview of the context of Korean language education in Vietnam, this thesis presents the results that Vietnam has achieved during the 30 years of Korean language training (period 1993 to present). Although the results achieved are mainly from Korean language education at university and college levels, these experiences will create a foundation for deploying Korean language teaching more widely at lower levels such as high school and middle school.

The thesis also summarizes the current situation of Korean language education at the middle school level in Vietnam, and then conducts deep analysis of the current situation of Korean language education at the secondary level in Long Bien district through conducting a questionnaire survey. It also presented the results achieved in the Korean language education program at the secondary level in Long Bien district. During the process of collecting and synthesizing documents, it was found that many researchers mentioned the current status of Korean language training and the results of Korean language education at university and college levels. However, the current status of Korean language education at the Middle school level has not found any detailed research

Not only stopping at generalizing the current situation and analyzing the results achieved in Korean language education at the secondary level in Long Bien district, the thesis also points out the advantages and difficulties in Korean language education at the secondary level in Hanoi in general and Long Bien district in particular. Along with that, the thesis also proposes solutions to difficulties in the process of Korean language training at secondary level.

12. Practical applicability, if any:

With the research results achieved, the thesis is completely applicable in practice. Along with pointing out the current status of Korean language training at the secondary level across the country and in Hanoi, through the results that the Korean language teaching at the secondary level in Long Bien district has achieved will help the Ministry of Education better understand the current state of education and grasp the results of the policies they have proposed

By presenting the advantages and difficulties in the education program, it will help the Ministry of Education draw experience, continue to promote advantages and overcome defects, thereby Adjust policies more appropriately. Through experience of secondary schools implementing pilot Korean language education first, secondary schools implementing it later will also look at those achievements and difficulties to deploy Korean language teaching in a reasonable manner following the correct policy issued by the Ministry of Education.

Not only stopping at pointing out the difficulties in teaching Korean at the secondary level, the thesis has proposed a number of solutions to solve those defects. Policymakers and relevant specialized agencies can refer and provide comprehensive and effective solutions in the practical implementation process to overcome defect and promote positive points. It helps the Korean language education at secondary level to achieve even greater achievements in accordance with the expectations of the Party and State.
