Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, in collaboration with relevant units, launched a week-long Vietnamese language training course for Vietnamese teachers and a Vietnamese bookshelf in Taoyuan, Taiwan (China) on July 4.
The training course, held from July 1-7, provided nearly 40 Vietnamese language teachers across various levels of the Taiwanese education system with valuable instructions by two lecturers from the Hanoi National University of Education.
Speaking at the ceremony, head of the office Vu Tien Dung said in recent years, the Vietnamese Government and relevant agencies have intensified efforts to promote Vietnamese language appreciation among overseas Vietnamese communities worldwide. This aims to deepen the understanding of the language and national culture among Vietnamese people abroad and international friends as well.
Dung expressed his hope that the training course and a donation of nearly 500 Vietnamese books from Vietnam will contribute to further motivating the Vietnamese teaching and learning movement within the Vietnamese community in Taiwan. This, in turn, will promote cultural exchanges between the people of Vietnam and Taiwan.
The launching of the Vietnamese bookshelf was preceded by a seminar held on July 3, which explored the current state of Vietnamese language education for Vietnamese children in Taiwan./.
