The Vietnamese language teaching ecosystem dedicated to overseas Vietnamese also has a set of primary, intermediate and advanced assessment documents, and especially a system of assessment questions according to the 6-level Vietnamese language competency framework, which is the first time it has been systematically compiled and of high quality.
Of the 35 completed manuscripts, language teaching experts from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU, have devoted more than 2,000 pages to a total of 6 books that provide guidance for parents and teachers on how to teach children in overseas Vietnamese families and multicultural families with Vietnamese fathers and/or mothers. The teaching guide is being published by the School to be put into circulation by the end of 2023.
In particular, in 2022 and 2023, VNU has invested in the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to build an online Vietnamese language teaching channel for overseas Vietnamese. After completion in September 2022, the University has coordinated with the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to send experts to organize free online Vietnamese language teaching for overseas Vietnamese in more than 17 countries and territories in nearly a year.
Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong chaired the working session with overseas Vietnamese.
