Contemporary Vietnamese, Advanced L evel, is a general Vietnamese course, aimed at enabling learners to communicate successfully in both spoken and written Vietnamese at advancedlevel. The course will be conducted by bilingual teachers from Vietnam, who possess teaching qualifications, rich language-teaching experience, noble teachers’ qualities, and most importantly, speak standard Vietnamese. Learners will develop integrated language skills during the course and will be able to speak, listen, read and write advance-level Vietnamese by the end of the course.  

The course will focus on developing students’ language skills through intensive reading. The readings will cover the topics such as the Vietnamese land and its people, Vietnamese society and culture, current affairs, The environment, Health and Safety, Demography and Family Planning, Politics, Law, Economics and Finance, and so on. These different topics will develop the mastery of advanced Vietnamese vocabulary and sentence structures for students, so students can actively and effectively participate in big-scale discussions inside and out-side classrooms. The course is also intended to prepare students for research or work both in Vietnam and with Vietnamese-language documents.
