1. The current state of Japanese language training in Vietnam

Programme learn Japanese In our country, university programs and language centers still use the old curriculum (Mina no Nihongo), which was developed over 30 years ago. The Mina no Nihongo textbook, with its foreign language teaching philosophy from the 1970s, focuses on teaching "knowledge" of Japanese, helping learners pass knowledge tests, but making it difficult for them to use Japanese as a communication tool. Furthermore, foreign language training is currently conducted in isolation, without connecting training with businesses, Japanese cultural organizations, or the labor market. With such a training mechanism, graduates, although possessing degrees, struggle to compete in the job market.

In tune with the world…

In 2001, the Council of Europe published the CEFR (The Common European Framework of Reference), a set of six levels of foreign language proficiency (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2), introducing a new philosophy of foreign language teaching to be applied within the EU: shifting foreign language teaching from the transmission of KNOWLEDGE to the training of language COMPETENCY.
In 2014, the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training adopted this 6-level standard for Vietnam.
Over 10 years ago, the Japan Foundation (Japan's most prestigious cultural and educational organization, which compiled the Mina no Nihongo textbook 30 years ago and administers the 5-level Japanese Language Proficiency Test: N5, N4, N3, N2, N1) designed the "Japan Foundation Standard for Japanese Language Education" (JFS) and developed a new Japanese language training program corresponding to the JFS, replacing the old Mina no Nihongo textbook.
Currently, this program has been implemented in South Korea, China, Mongolia, Spain, the United States, Europe, and Brazil. In Vietnam, the Japan Foundation has organized training at its headquarters in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, the Vietnam-Japan Career Guidance Center at the University of Technology and Education, and the Foreign Language Center at the University of Education in Ho Chi Minh City have also adopted this program.
Viet My College teaches and learns Japanese in that new spirit.

3. Characteristics of the training program

The Japanese language training program described above, designed by the Japan Foundation, has the following characteristics. These have been verified through experimental studies conducted by the Japan Foundation.

The curriculum should be designed so that teachers can easily teach using methods that help learners develop their language skills. reflection, interaction, game. First of all, the curriculum helps teachers to provide continuous instruction to students. reflex with Japanese, then help the teacher organize for the students. interact For me, it helps to understand what has been learned at the reflexive stage, and then helps to develop the learner's abilities to a new level through practice game. Finally, teachers can systematize what has been learned through an introduction to Japanese culture, grammar books, and exercises.
In practice, the school's teachers strive to apply these methods to make lessons more engaging. However, when implementing these methods, teachers must design compatible learning materials themselves. The school's resources, limited in time and capacity, are insufficient to design an entire training program systematically and scientifically. Using the program designed by the Japan Foundation is an optimal solution.
Learners don't progress from general knowledge to practice; the opposite is true., practice Japanese in person. First, the course focuses on developing listening and speaking skills under the guidance of instructors. Finally, it systematizes the knowledge, making it easier to pass traditional exams while simultaneously developing practical language proficiency.
Each lesson is linked to conveying the values of Japanese culture, enabling teachers to teach Japanese while simultaneously imparting life skills, values, and cultural knowledge to their students.
Interactive methods, reflection, and games make the classroom lively: learners get to work, participate, and practice, while the instructor truly acts as a guide and facilitator, not simply someone who teaches knowledge.
The current trend at the Japan Foundation is to adjust the 5-level standard of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) to this 6-level standard. Currently, while the JLPT has not yet been revised, the Marugoto program at this school will be integrated with preparation for the JLPT, the NAT Test, in this training program.
In the future, when the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is adjusted to align with the 6-level standard, students studying at Marugoto will have an advantage when taking the new Japanese certification exam.
