Organisations and individuals are encouraged toopen classes for overseas Vietnamese children.
The project plans to build a six-levelcurriculum, with each compiled into different textbooks.
It will revise two books, namely “Tieng Vietvui” (Vietnamese is fun) and “Que Viet” (Vietnamese homeland), and launch bookwriting contests in areas with many Vietnamese expatriates.
The bilingual Vietnamese teaching materials willbe promoted through culture-art exchanges, religious practices, and rituals ofVietnamese people.
The project will launch professional trainingcourses for teachers and provide them with useful materials online as part ofthe project “Intensifying teaching Vietnamese online to overseas Vietnamese”approved by the Prime Minister.
It suggests diversifying teaching classes,including short-term classes in the host countries or summer camps in Vietnam.
Teaching Vietnamese on television and radioshould be reformed, while extracurricular activities should be increased suchas contests on Vietnamese history and culture, organising trade and tourismfairs and exhibitions, building Vietnamese libraries and bookshelves at schoolswith many overseas Vietnamese students.
Agencies should build evaluation tools andtesting software, and grant Vietnamese certificates for overseas learners.
