The work bears the mark of collaboration between Professor, Doctor Le Phuong Nga and young author, teacher Duong Hang. |
It is the combination of academic expertise and high practicality that has created a book that is both profound in knowledge and close and accessible to students.
One of the first highlights of the book's appearance is its beautiful design, A4 size, suitable for the vision and writing of primary school students. The book is printed in full color with bright, familiar illustrations, stimulating students' interest in learning and ability to concentrate.
I consider this book a milestone in my collaboration with author Duong Hang, and also marks the journey I have been persistently pursuing: Training teachers, nurturing parents, and developing a young generation with the ability to think, perceive, and create truly.
Professor, Dr. Le Phuong Nga
In terms of content, "40 Vietnamese Language Proficiency Development Tests" is comprehensive, systematic, and clearly oriented. The focus of the book lies in part one: 40 carefully compiled practice tests, with careful calculations in terms of structure and content. Each test is not simply a test but a "comprehensive lesson" to help students: Review and consolidate the Vietnamese language knowledge system at primary school level, especially the 5th grade program; get familiar with the types of tests that assess competence, thereby improving problem-solving skills, enhancing language thinking ability; develop creative thinking, literary appreciation, and writing skills - three core competencies in learning modern Vietnamese.

Each practice test consists of three clear parts: Vietnamese knowledge (grammar, vocabulary, spelling, sentences); reading comprehension - literary appreciation (reading and answering questions from a text); creative writing (practicing writing, composing on a topic). This combination helps students not only master theoretical knowledge but also practice practical skills, helping them use Vietnamese more flexibly and deeply.
I write books not to follow the crowd or to satisfy the market, but to "sing my own song". If that song touches someone's heart, helps someone on the path of learning and teaching Vietnamese, I will feel comforted and continue to believe in the path I have chosen.
Professor, Dr. Le Phuong Nga
Not just "giving questions", the book contains a lot of effort in part one: Instructions - Answers. This part provides detailed solutions, analyzes interesting but confusing points in Vietnamese, helping students understand "why it is correct" and not just "what the answer is".
What is special is that the book also introduces "high-scoring sample essays" in the literary appreciation and creative writing sections. These are practical examples, helping students learn how to develop ideas, use words, express emotions and express themselves through each page.
The appeal of this book is that it does not aim to "puzzle" students with tricky questions or test-taking tricks, but rather aims to develop their ability to use Vietnamese comprehensively. The "trouble spots" in Vietnamese - which are the fear of many students - are specifically pointed out by the author, with clear instructions on how to recognize and handle them, thereby helping students overcome common challenges in exams.

The book is being welcomed by many students. |
By practicing with 40 questions in the book, students not only prepare well for the final exam, but also confidently try their hand at bigger competitions such as excellent student exams, entrance exams to grade 6 of specialized schools and selective classes.
In addition to accompanying students, the book is also a handbook for teachers and parents in teaching and tutoring their children at home. Teachers can use the test questions in the book as teaching materials, periodic assessments or organizing additional study sessions. Parents, especially those who do not have much experience guiding their children to learn Vietnamese, can also rely on the Instructions-Answers section to accompany their children in the process of reviewing and developing skills.
"40 Vietnamese Language Proficiency Development Questions" is both a practice book and a modern educational tool, designed to develop comprehensive, creative and practical competencies.

Professor, Dr. Le Phuong Nga shared: This is the first time she has a "brainchild" with author Duong Hang - a writer, a young teacher with many passionate activities. With the book, Professor Le Phuong Nga frankly shared that she did not want to write in a copy-pasted style, synthesizing old exam questions because she always had a burning desire: Education needs to create conditions for children to develop their true abilities, to be creative, to be themselves.

"With this book, I have tried to convey the ideas and teaching experiences that I have always cherished, especially teaching to develop capacity. Instead of just recognizing and classifying language units, the book shifts to using language in reading comprehension and creative writing. The book provides solid background knowledge, with specific instructions on how to study and self-study for students, teachers and parents. In particular, the issues of grammar inconsistencies between textbooks are also handled smoothly, appropriately and reasonably, not aiming to "determine who wins or loses" but aiming at effective communication and practical application", Professor, Dr. Le Phuong Nga emphasized.
She also expressed: "I write books not to follow the crowd or to please the market, but to "sing my own song". If that song touches someone's heart, helps someone on the path of learning and teaching Vietnamese, I will feel comforted and continue to believe in the path I have chosen. I consider this book a milestone in my cooperation with author Duong Hang, and also marks the journey I have persistently pursued: Training teachers, nurturing parents, and developing a young generation with the ability to think, perceive, and create truly".
With an endless passion for language and education, author Duong Hang has published a series of outstanding books, such as: "Writing Tips", "Descriptive Writing Skills", "Conquering Vietnamese 3-4", "Writing Practice 3-4-5", "Writing Tips". The female author has become one of the educational writers trusted by parents and students.
