The Faculty of Vietnamese Studies and Language (VHN&TV), University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, attracts many students from all over the world such as Russia, Poland, USA, Cuba, Australia, China, Korea, Japan, etc. Coming to the Faculty of VNH&TV, students not only learn Vietnamese language and culture through lectures in the classroom, but also directly experience and participate in Vietnamese cultural activities through field trips to the beautiful land of Vietnam.
This is the Faculty’s unique mark in student training and is also an activity that leaves a deep impression on international students. During the learning process, students from many countries participate in field trips in many different forms according to subjects and courses. Through this, students can improve their Vietnamese language skills and at the same time understand more about Vietnamese culture, the country and people of Vietnam, and practice professional and technical skills before graduation. And international students themselves are also bridges and ambassadors promoting the beauty of the country, people and culture of Vietnam to international friends.
And the destination of this field trip of the group of students from the Faculty of Vietnamese Studies and Vietnamese Language from Japan, Korea and China is Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province. Over 15 days (from November 26 to December 10, 2022), the students had a period of time eating and staying locally, learning about economic activities, social life, and directly participating in some cultural activities of the local community.
During this field trip, under the guidance of Dr. Bui Van Tuan (Deputy Head of the Department of Vietnamese Studies and Language), international students learned about promoting traditional cultural values associated with Community Tourism in Cao Phong District, Hoa Binh; studied the household economic model in Cao Phong District; and studied the livelihood model of people in the Hoa Binh Lake area.
According to some international students, the trip brought extremely interesting experiences. The scenery was beautiful, the climate was fresh, the local people were friendly and enthusiastic. For the first time, international students were able to visit the stilt houses of ethnic minorities, visit the Muong Cultural Space Museum - where many valuable artifacts are displayed reflecting the rich material and spiritual life of the people here. And especially, the students were extremely excited and delighted to participate in the stages of wrapping banh chung, banh tet, making lam rice - local culinary specialties and enjoying many delicious and new dishes.
