The 11th K-Speech Korean Debate Contest was organized by Van Lang University in collaboration with the Korean Council for Reconciliation and Unity in Vietnam, the Korean Speech Contest Association of Vietnam, and Life Plaza Magazine, attracting great attention from Korean language training institutions, including HUFLIT.
This year’s contest brought together selected students from over 20 institutions, including middle schools, high schools, colleges, and universities offering Korean language training in the Central and Southern regions. The competition consisted of two categories: individual debate and group debate.
With their outstanding language proficiency and deep understanding of Korean society, three HUFLIT students achieved impressive results. The First Prize for group debate was won by Doan Thi Thuy Linh and Nguyen Thanh Hao, guided by Prof. Lee Gye Sook. The Second Prize for individual debate was earned by Nguyen Ngoc Boi, guided by Prof. Hoang Thi Bich Ngoc.

They not only demonstrated a deep understanding of Korean culture but also aimed to promote the positive and healthy lifestyle of Korean youth today.

In the individual category, Nguyen Ngoc Boi, a fourth-year student from the Faculty of Oriental Languages and Cultures, delivered an excellent presentation on “Promoting Vietnam-Korea education cooperation”. With a wealth of practical knowledge, fluent public speaking skills, and sharp interpersonal skills, Nguyen Ngoc Boi brought a range of emotions to the audience and judges.

The success of these students in the competition could not have been achieved without the dedicated guidance and support from the lecturers of the Faculty of Oriental Languages and Cultures throughout their learning and training process. With the goal of providing a “Learning in tandem with practical experience”, the HUFLIT lecturers encourages and creates opportunities for students to apply what they have learned to real-life situations. This has contributed to the reputation of the Korean Studies – Faculty of Oriental Languages and Cultures at HUFLIT, earning the trust of many young students over the past 30 years.
