Contemporary Vietnamese, Pre-intermediate level, is a general Vietnamese course, aimed at enabling learners to communicate successfully in both spoken and written Vietnamese at pre-intermediatelevel. 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 pre-intermediate-level Vietnamese by the end of the course.  

In this course, students will further develop their Vietnamese language knowledge, socio-cultural awareness of Vietnam, communicative skills, and conversational confidence. More popular topics such as Traveling, Transportation, Entertainment, Services, Health Care, Sports, and so on will be covered. Students will experience socio-cultural tours to Vietnam during lessons. In addition to systematic basic language skills like requesting, offering, inviting, accepting, refusing, and so on, students are going to improve higher language skills as well as their social-interpersonal skills through basic in-class discussions, debates, and presentations. By the end of the course, students should be able to write 200-word composition on different given topics.

Students will be engaged in different situational and communicative language activities such as role play, interviews, information gap, games, language exchanges, survey, pair work, grammar quizzes and so on.

The books are targeted at adult foreign learners and were published in 2004 in Vietnam by the World Publishing House.
