HÀ NỘI – Seventy eight overseas Vietnamese teachers from 12 countries and territories are participating in a training course on teaching the Vietnamese language.

The course being offered in Hà Nội from August 13 to 27 is designed to improve participants’ teaching skills through lectures by linguistic experts.
Fact-finding trips to historical and cultural destinations will also be conducted during the two-week course to promote knowledge of Vietnamese culture and history among expatriates.
Promoting the mother tongue among Vietnamese expatriates plays an important role in helping overseas Vietnamese communities preserve their cultural identity and traditional customs, Deputy Foreign Minister Vũ Hồng Nam said at the course opening ceremony on August 14.
This is the fifth training course organised jointly by the State Committee on Overseas Vietnamese Affairs (COVA) and the Ministry of Education and Training, drawing the largest number of participants so far. – VNS
