Download or read book Vietnamese Language, Education and Change in and Outside Vietnam written by and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access edited book attempts to break new ground in investigating multiple facets of Vietnamese language, education and change in global contexts, engaging with global Vietnam through complex lenses of language and education. Issues of language, globalization, and global identities have often been framed through the lens of hierarchical/binary power relations, and/or through a dichotomy between hyper-central languages, such as English, and revisualized or marginalized local language and cultures. In this book, this dichotomy is turned on its head by considering how Vietnam and Vietnamese are constructed in and outside Vietnam and enacted in global spaces of classrooms, textbooks, student mobility, community engagement, curriculum, and intercultural contacts. Vietnamese is among the worlds most spoken languages and is ranked in the top 20th in terms the number of speakers. Yet, at the same time, as a peripheral or southern global language as often seen in the Global North-Global South spectrum, the dynamics of multilingual and multicultural encounters involving Vietnamese generate distinctive dilemmas and tensions, as well as pointing to alternative ways of thinking about global phenomena from a fresh angle. Rather than being outside of the global, Vietnamese - like many other non-central global languages - is present in diasporas, commercial, and transnational structures of higher education, schooling, and in the more conventional settings of primary and secondary school, in which visions of culture and language also evoke notions of heritage and tradition as well as bring to the fore deep seated ideological conflicts across time, space, communities, and generations. Relevant to students and scholars researching language, education, identity, multiculturalism, and their intersections, particularly related to Vietnam, but also in Southeast Asia and beyond, this volume is a pioneering investigation into overlooked contexts and languages from a global, southern-oriented perspective.

Book Synopsis Vietnam and the Colonial Condition of French Literature by : Leslie Barnes
Download or read book Vietnam and the Colonial Condition of French Literature written by Leslie Barnes and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnam and the Colonial Condition of French Literature explores an aspect of modern French literature that has been consistently overlooked in literary histories: the relationship between the colonies—their cultures, languages, and people—and formal shifts in French literary production. Starting from the premise that neither cultural identity nor cultural production can be pure or homogenous, Leslie Barnes initiates a new discourse on the French literary canon by examining the work of three iconic French writers with personal connections to Vietnam: André Malraux, Marguerite Duras, and Linda Lê. In a thorough investigation of the authors’ linguistic, metaphysical, and textual experiences of colonialism, Barnes articulates a new way of reading French literature: not as an inward-looking, homogenous, monolingual tradition, but rather as a tradition of intersecting and interdependent peoples, cultures, and experiences. One of the few books to focus on Vietnam’s position within francophone literary scholarship, Barnes challenges traditional concepts of French cultural identity and offers a new perspective on canonicity and the division between “French” and “francophone” literature.

Book Synopsis Literature and Nation-Building in Vietnam by : Chi P. Pham
Download or read book Literature and Nation-Building in Vietnam written by Chi P. Pham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes why Indians have been made invisible in Vietnamese society and historiography. It argues that their invisibilization originates in the formulaic metaphor Vietnamese nation-makers have used to portray Indians in their quest for national sovereignty and socialism. The book presents a complex view on colonial legacies in Vietnam which suggests that Vietnamese nation-makers associate Indians with colonialism and capitalism, ultimately viewed as "non-socialist" and "non-hegemonic" state structures. Furthermore, the book demonstrates how Vietnamese nation-makers achieve the overriding socialist and independent goal of historically differing Indians from Vietnamese nationalisms whilst simultaneously making them invisible. In addition to primary Vietnamese texts which demonstrate the performativity of language and the Vietnamese traditional belief in writing as a sharp weapon for national and class struggles, the author utilizes interviews with Indians and Vietnamese authorities in charge of managing the Indian population. Bringing to the surface the ways through which Vietnamese intellectuals have invisibilized the Indians for the sake of the visibility of national hegemony and prosperity, this book will be of interest to scholars of Southeast Asian Studies and South Asian Studies, Vietnam Studies, including nation-building, literature, and language.
Book Synopsis Building Teacher Capacity in English Language Teaching in Vietnam by : Van Canh Le
Download or read book Building Teacher Capacity in English Language Teaching in Vietnam written by Van Canh Le and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume opens a window on issues related to English language education in Vietnam. The authors consider that teacher quality is the key factor to be considered if the national English language curriculum outcomes are to be achievable. Aiming to shed light on key issues recently observed in the Vietnamese landscape of English language education, it examines the complexity of the institutionalization of the standardized English proficiency policy, which has been in force since 2008. That policy uses the Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR) as the model to set the standards and levels of proficiency for teachers, learners and state employees. The book presents both the theoretical and practical aspects of the standardization movement in English language education. The contents comprise a series of extended research-based chapters written by experts of language-in-education policy and planning in and about Vietnam from a range of perspectives including teachers, English language curriculum developers, teacher educators and researchers. The rich coverage of the book includes current discussion on English language education in Vietnam ranging from policy to practice, making it highly relevant to English teachers, teacher educators, and scholars, in Vietnam and worldwide, who aspire to broaden their horizons and professionalism.
Book Synopsis Bao Ninh's Contribution to Vietnamese and World Literature by : Cao Kim Lan
Download or read book Bao Ninh's Contribution to Vietnamese and World Literature written by Cao Kim Lan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-09 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bao Ninh's Contribution to Vietnamese and World Literature analyzes and presents the works of Bao Ninh, the most well-known writer in modern Vietnamese literature. His works are renowned both in Vietnam and worldwide and his novel The Sorrow of War, which has been translated into more than 15 languages, is considered to be one of the classic works of war literature. This book by two award-winning scholars, one in war literature and the other in war history, presents for the first time an overall assessment of Bao Ninh’s works, notably of his celebrated novel and his short stories. It outlines his life, setting it in the context of war-torn Vietnam whence he was a teenage soldier at the age of 17 in the North Vietnamese People's Army (NVPA); highlights the main themes of the corpus of his writings, inter alia of suffering and trauma of war impacts of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of veterans, of the futility of war; discusses his approach to writing; compares his writings with others in war literature; and examines and assesses his especial place in world literature. This pioneering monograph of the scholarly evaluation of Bao Ninh himself and his works further engages in the discourse of his contribution to modern Vietnamese literature and world literature. Encouraging a better understanding of wars and conflicts, the book will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of modern Asian history, in particular the Vietnam War, Southeast Asian Studies, and Vietnamese and World literature.
Download or read book Post-Mandarin written by Ben Tran and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-Mandarin offers an engaging look at a cohort of Vietnamese intellectuals who adopted European fields of knowledge, a new Romanized alphabet, and print media—all of which were foreign and illegible to their fathers. This new generation of intellectuals established Vietnam’s modern anticolonial literature. The term “post-mandarin” illuminates how Vietnam’s deracinated figures of intellectual authority adapted to a literary field moving away from a male-to-male literary address toward print culture. With this shift, post-mandarin intellectuals increasingly wrote for and about women. Post-Mandarin illustrates the significance of the inclusion of modern women in the world of letters: a more democratic system of aesthetic and political representation that gave rise to anticolonial nationalism. This conceptualization of the “post-mandarin” promises to have a significant impact on the fields of literary theory, postcolonial studies, East Asian and Southeast Asian studies, and modernist studies.
Book Synopsis Literature in Vietnamese Tertiary English Programs by : Thi My Van Truong
Download or read book Literature in Vietnamese Tertiary English Programs written by Thi My Van Truong and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English is now a dominant foreign language in Vietnam and exerts a powerful influence on various aspects of Vietnamese society. With the power and influence of English, Vietnamese learners have changing perceptions about the purposes of language learning. In tertiary English-major programs, the status of literature has been contested and challenged and priority has been given to subjects that directly facilitate learners' careers such as Business English courses. In this context, the teaching and learning of literature are both at risk and controversial.This study is set in the Vietnamese English as a second language (EFL) context. By investigating teacher and student perspectives on teaching and learning literature in the tertiary English-major program, this study examines the role that literature plays in tertiary ELT in Vietnam. The study analyses the pedagogy used and student responses to this, then looks at the implications for pedagogy and the status of literature in a global economy where English is primarily the language of business. The study follows a qualitative research tradition and consists of a case study of four Vietnamese teachers and 12 students of English in one Vietnamese EFL tertiary program. Data generation included pre-course and post-course in-depth interviews of teachers and students, class observations, the collection of student writing during the courses, textbooks and syllabi of the courses, and the curriculum of the program. Discourse analysis and text analysis were used to interpret the data based on the issues raised in the research questions. The findings of the study show that, despite a recognition of the value of literature by both teachers and language learners, the status of literature in the program was at risk due to institutional constraints and learners' practical focus on careers using English. The study reveals that the literature class provided many opportunities for communicative language teaching (CLT) and learning, especially via the use of Reader Theatre. However, in terms of critical thinking and deeper text analysis, the use of CLT in the classes in the study was hindered by a number of contextual factors, in particular class size, time limits, inflexible class seating, and teachers' limited expertise in generating interaction among students. The literature pedagogy fostered in most students an awareness of the value of literature to personal development and a knowledge of culture and language, yet the pedagogy could be improved to be more engaging to learners, to enable them to develop communicative competence, literary competence, critical thinking skills and to broaden perspectives on themselves, the world and the status of English as a global language.

Book Synopsis Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Vietnamese Linguistics by : Nigel Duffield
Download or read book Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Vietnamese Linguistics written by Nigel Duffield and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume was originally inspired by a 2017 conference to honour the scholar and linguist Cao Xuân Hạo, whose landmark work – in many diverse areas of language study – established a bridge between traditional Vietnamese scholarship and contemporary theories of grammatical organisation. The book offers the reader a closely edited collection of papers, representing a wide spectrum of frameworks, approaches and methods, from traditional fieldwork studies of non-standard dialects, to corpus-based discussions of language and gender, to formal syntactic and semantic analyses of key functional morphemes, to laboratory experiments, and work in first language acquisition. Many of the papers present detailed analyses of original data, as well as novel treatments of established facts; considered together – as well as in contrast to one another – they make a significant empirical contribution to our understanding of how Vietnamese is structured, acquired and put to use. The papers should be of value to anyone interested in contemporary approaches to Vietnamese linguistics, and Southeast Asian languages more generally.
Download or read book Viet Nam written by Hữu Ngọc and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his twenty-year tenure as a columnist for Việt Nam News, Hà Nội’s English-language newspaper, Hữu Ngọc charmed and invigorated an international readership hungry for straightforward but elegant entrees into understanding Vietnamese culture. The essays were originally collected in the massive Wandering through Vietnamese Culture. With Viet Nam: Tradition and Change, Ohio University Press presents a selection from these many treasures, which are perfectly suited to students of Vietnamese culture and travelers seeking an introduction to the country’s rich history, culture, and daily life. With extraordinary linguistic ability and a prodigious memory, Hữu Ngọc is among Việt Nam’s keenest observers of and writers about traditional Vietnamese culture and recent history. The author’s central theme—that all tradition is change through acculturation—twines through each of the book’s ten sections, which contain Hữu Ngọc’s ideas on Vietnamese religion, literature, history, exemplary figures, and more. Taken on its own, each brief essay is an engaging discussion of key elements of Vietnamese culture and the history of an issue confronting Việt Nam today.
