The Inter-Faculty Conference has been a tradition of cooperation between the two faculties of Vietnamese Studies and Vietnamese Language for over 10 years. The process of cooperation and exchange has helped the two faculties initially form a modern academic style, harmonizing academic and empirical. The two faculties of Vietnamese Studies and Vietnamese Language aim to focus on the issue of researching the content and teaching methods of Vietnamese Language and Vietnamese Studies in a direct and specific manner with the challenges and opportunities in the era of the 4.0 industrial revolution.
The workshop is organized in a combination of live and online formats.
This conference gathered nearly 30 presentations from staff of the two faculties, focusing on areas such as: Vietnamese language and Vietnamese linguistics teaching methods; assessment and evaluation framework; Vietnamese culture and history; Vietnamese literature and art; interdisciplinary theory... The reports and presentations provided diverse findings and perspectives on research methods, teaching methods, research content, teaching content, research orientation, and teaching programs. The research topics evoked many values about how to teach languages in special situations, opening up a number of important ideas for exploring creative and assessment models in universities. The interdisciplinary factor and the identity of Vietnamese studies were also emphasized through the way the authors posed research questions, implemented research, and concluded their research.
