The presentation, titled “Practices and Innovations in Chinese Language Teaching at LHU, Vietnam” focesed on the Chinese language learning boom in Vietnam, where Chinese has shifted from a “language of interest” to a “language of employability”. The presentation showcased several pioneering innovations implemented at LHU, including:

- Promoting the ripartite collaboration model: University – Enterprises – Consulate General of China;

• - Building an enterprise-approached curriculum built upon direct feedback from employers;

• - Developing the “Chinese + Skills” training model, offering applied Chinese language courses for students in Engineering, Economics, and Health Sciences across the University.

The participation of PhD candidate Nguyen Thi Hoang Oanh as a presenter at this important forum further underscores LHU’s reputation and growing influence in Chinese language education in the region.

As one of the most prestigious academic and educational events, bringing together policymakers, leaders of top universities, and representatives of prominent multinational enterprises, the World Chinese Language Convention 2025 aims to discuss training strategies and collaboration models to meet the increasing societal demand for high-quality, application-oriented Chinese language professionals.

Through the forum and the World Chinese Language Convention 2025, LHU gained access to new training trends and expanded exchanges with international universities and organizations in Chinese language education. This provides a solid foundation for LHU to continue enhancing its curriculum and meeting the growing demand for Chinese-proficient human resources in the Southern region and nationwide.
