Many activities create attraction to spread the teaching and learning of Vietnamese

Special messengers

According to Mr. Nguyen Manh Dong, Deputy Head of the Committee for Overseas Vietnamese (UBNVNONN) - the agency implementing the Project, over the past 2 years, the program has targeted not only the Vietnamese community abroad but also foreigners who love the Vietnamese language.

Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese Nguyen Manh Dong announced at a press conference about the closing ceremony of the Day to honor Vietnamese language in the overseas Vietnamese community in 2024 and the Gala program of Vietnamese language on the morning of September 6.

One of the focuses of the program is to launch a Vietnamese Language Honor Day in the overseas Vietnamese community, organized abroad in 2024, contributing to widely disseminating the Project as well as attracting the response and participation of people at home and abroad.

In addition, the 2024 Vietnamese Ambassador search contest recorded an increase in the number of participants compared to last year, up to 158 candidates, including some foreigners who love the Vietnamese language.

"Among the five Messengers, there is an eight-year-old Messenger from Japan and a foreign Messenger - a Laotian university lecturer. In addition, the remaining Messengers are from Australia, Germany and from a very special location, Algeria," Mr. Dong shared.

At the same time, he added that the foreign Vietnamese Ambassador is a female Lao university lecturer who is participating in compiling and teaching Vietnamese in Laos.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese Ambassador from Algeria is taking on the task of teaching Vietnamese to the Vietnamese community as well as teaching Vietnamese to foreigners in Algeria.

According to the Vice Chairman of UBVNVNON, the construction of the Vietnamese Bookshelf continues to receive attention, as a convenient resource for encouraging the teaching and learning of Vietnamese abroad, especially in areas where there is no official Vietnamese language teaching program.

Along with that, ministries, branches, representative agencies, Vietnamese Cultural Centers and Vietnamese communities abroad also proactively organize forums, seminars and talks to share experiences on teaching and learning methods of Vietnamese in many countries.

“In the coming time, the Committee has considered the option of organizing [Vietnamese language] classes by region, such as Europe or Southeast Asia – where many people are interested in teaching. This could be a new direction,” Mr. Dong noted.

Meaningful art program

Notable in the series of programs honoring Vietnamese language are the Closing Ceremony of Vietnamese Language Honor Day for the NVNONN community in 2024 and the Dear Vietnamese Language Gala Program on September 8.

The program is organized by the State Committee for Overseas Vietnamese in coordination with the Foreign Television Department (VTV4) - Vietnam Television and VietArt Media Joint Stock Company.

With the theme “Words of Homeland, Words of Glory”, the event is scheduled to take place at the Hanoi Opera House on the evening of September 8. The program will be attended by about 600 delegates representing ministries, departments, branches, central and local agencies, language and culture experts, overseas Vietnamese delegates...

The program is expected to have the participation and speech of Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs Bui Thanh Son and representatives of leaders of central ministries and branches.

At the Closing Ceremony, reports will be shared about activities to spread and honor the Vietnamese language across 5 continents, and at the same time honor and award medals to the "Vietnamese Language Ambassadors" abroad in 2024. The Gala program also includes comprehensive art performances, including physical drama, music, etc., combined with direct and online interactions with overseas audiences.
