SCOV Vice Chairman Nguyen Manh Dong expressed his wish that each trainee will become a true ambassador, not only in spreading the love for the Vietnamese language but also in deepening understanding of the nation’s rich history and culture among overseas Vietnamese (OVs), their families and communities.
The annual course, co-held by the SCOV and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (USSH) under the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-Hanoi), drew 33 professional and amateur teachers and volunteers from eight countries worldwide.
Over the course of 17 training sessions, they delved into Vietnamese language teaching methods guided by esteemed lecturers from the USSH. A highlight of the course was a seminar led by Dr. Nguyen Thuy Anh, author of the renowned book “Hello Vietnamese”, which focused on effective methods for teaching Vietnamese to OV children. They also shared practical teaching experience at Nguyen Binh Khiem Primary School in Hanoi.
Beyond the classroom, they visited iconic historical and cultural sites in Hanoi, including President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the Ho Chi Minh relic site at the Presidential Palace, the Temple of Literature, the Thang Long Imperial Citadel, the Vietnam Women’s Museum, and the Bat Trang pottery village. The itinerary also included visits to notable sites in the northern provinces of Ha Nam and Ninh Binh.
