Prof.Dr Nguyen Van Khanh: Vietnamese and Vietnamese studies are drawing interest from international scholars

On December 12th, 2014, speaking at the opening ceremony of the international conference “Teaching Vietnamese language and studies at universities” at USSH, Prof.Dr Nguyen Van Khanh (Rector) shared his views on the role and position of teaching of Vietnamese language and studies in the context of globalization. “The evaluation of Vietnamese language and studies is one of the crucial tasks of domestic and international scholars, and is becoming a particular interest of international scientists” – Prof. Nguyen Van Khanh said. This is even more the case when globalization is strongly affecting research exchanges and cooperation. Besides, inter-disciplinary research is currently a vital component of this process. “The conference will facilitate the connection between scholars of Vietnamese studies, the promotion of Vietnamese language as a core of Vietnamese culture during the process of international integration” – He spoke of his expectations of the Conference.       Prof.Dr Nguyen Van Khanh gives his opening remarks (Photo: Thanh Long) The conference attracted scientists and experts from 9 countries: Laos, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, China, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the United States and Vietnam.
