Representative of the Organizing Committee of the competition, Dr. Nguyen Hai Thanh shared: On August 16, 2023, the Organizing Committee issued the Competition Rules and up to now, the Northern region has 36 teams registered to compete, the Central region has 16 and the Southern region has 13 teams from many universities across the country. That shows the interest of universities, educational institutions as well as the love and passion for learning Vietnamese language and culture of foreign students studying in Vietnam.
Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hai also shared: To have a team participating in the Northern Regional Preliminary Round, universities have organized many competitions in different forms: writing, dramatization, etc. to select the best students to represent the unit to participate in the Regional Preliminary Round.
The Ministry of Education and Training is very confident and assured when choosing the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, as the host of this event. Because the University has a team of scientists and experts in teaching Vietnamese language and culture to foreigners, along with experience in organizing many national and international events and conferences. With a large number of participating teams in the Northern Region, the Organizing Committee hopes that the University will closely coordinate with the functional units of the Ministry of Education and Training to best prepare for the success of the competition (welcoming delegates, contestants and fans of 36 participating teams; arranging the competition venue; ensuring security and safety; communication work for the competition, etc.).
According to the plan, the competition will take place in 1 day (expected on Saturday, October 28). Before that, the teams will draw lots for the competition order and will be guided by the Organizing Committee to test the program to ensure that the performances will run smoothly and successfully on the official competition day.
On behalf of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vice President Lai Quoc Khanh sincerely thanked the leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training and the Organizing Committee of the Contest for trusting and assigning the task to the University as the host of the Preliminary Round of the Vietnamese Speaking Contest for foreign students. This is an extremely meaningful activity, not only promoting the emulation movement in studying, improving the quality of training for international students but also contributing to strengthening the friendship and cultural exchange between Vietnam and other countries in the world. The contest will create a truly useful playground to help international students from many countries around the world studying at all universities and educational institutions in Vietnam have the opportunity to interact, meet, exchange, express their love and passion for discovering the beauty of the Vietnamese language, people and culture of Vietnam. These international students are also ambassadors to promote and spread the Vietnamese language and culture to many friends around the world.
With a long tradition, and a large team of leading lecturers and experts in Vietnamese language training as well as teaching Vietnamese history, language and culture to foreigners, the School is confident that it has the capacity to organize the competition well. The School commits to closely coordinate with the functional departments of the Ministry of Education and Training to prepare most carefully, ensuring the Preliminary Round taking place at the School is a great success.
