On Febuary 10^th, 2020, representatives of ULIS – VNU visited international students in the University’s dormitory.

This is a group of 9 Chinese students who come to ULIS to learn Vietnamese. During the Tet holiday, they did not return to their home country and just stayed in Vietnam.

With Covid-19 outbreak, following the guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Health and Vietnam National University, Hanoi, ULIS temporarily canceled all classes, including Vietnamese classes for foreign students.

Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Xuan Long, ULIS’s Vice President, Mr. Do Minh Hoang, Director of the Cooperation and Development Office, Mr. Pham Dinh Luong, Deputy Director of the Assets Management & Security Office, Mr. Hoa Ngoc Son, Dean of the Faculty of Language Education & Professional Development  and faculty members visited, encouraged and extended New Year wishes to the international students. Vice President Nguyen Xuan Long also presented new year gifts and lucky money to the students.

Although students do not attend face-to-face classes, Vice President Nguyen Xuan Long said that the University still sent documents and exercises to students to study at home. The connection between teachers and overseas students was closely secured. In addition, the University conducted many live-streaming lessons so students can study online.

Sharing with the teachers, the foreign students were very touched. Learning Vietnamese at ULIS, they found Vietnamese language and culture very interesting. Memories at ULIS and Vietnam would surely be a page of life that they will never forget.
