Objective: To spark students' curiosity about Vietnamese culture and language while connecting it to their own experiences.
Begin the lesson by sharing a captivating story or a short video about a Vietnamese festival, such as Tết Nguyên Đán (Lunar New Year).
"Imagine a bustling street filled with vibrant colors and the sounds of laughter. It's Tết, the Vietnamese New Year, a time when families come together to honor their ancestors, share delicious food, and celebrate a fresh start. Young children are excitedly receiving lucky money, while the smell of traditional bánh chưng fills the air. In Vietnam, this festival symbolizes hope, renewal, and familial love."
After sharing the story, display images or artifacts related to Vietnamese culture — such as traditional clothing (áo dài), popular foods (pho, spring rolls), and beautiful landscapes (Ha Long Bay).
Questions to Consider:
Encourage students to share their thoughts and personal experiences with their own cultural festivals. This discussion will help them draw parallels between different cultures and build a respectful understanding of diversity.
Transition into the lesson by explaining that, just like festivals, languages are a beautiful form of expression that allow us to connect with different cultures. Introduce the Vietnamese alphabet and phrases they will learn throughout the lesson.
This engaging lesson introduction not only prepares students for learning about the Vietnamese language but also fosters an appreciation for the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds it.
