Xin chào! & Welcome to Bàn tròn Tiếng Việt!
The Vietnamese Language Table was initiated by SEALC and GETSEA in 2021. This is the virtual conversation space for all learners and speakers of Vietnamese from institutions across North America and all over the world.
Vietnamese Language Table (Bàn Tròn Tiếng Việt) offers conversation hours at various proficiency levels for three groups: Beginner Group, Intermediate Group & Advanced Group. The facilitators develop the levels based on the Vietnamese Oral Proficiency Guidelines (2020-2021) and ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines 2012.
The hosts/ facilitators in the Fall 2024 are Thu Vo (Vietnamese Instructor, Harvard University), Trang Tran (Visiting Lecturer, Brown University) and ThuyAnh Nguyen (Vietnamese Teaching Professor, University of Michigan).
