NOSTALGIA OF THE HOMELAND AND THE IMAGINATION OF THE NORTH OF VIETNAM IN VU BANG’S THUONG NHO MUOI HAI
This article chooses Vu Bang’s Thuong nho muoi hai as a case study to discover the ways in which landscapes are constructed in discourses, especially focuses on how mythologies of “home-land” were created in expatriate communities. Landscape of Ha Noi in particular (or Bac Viet in general), therefore, is not only analysized to reveal its imaginariness but also compared with other discourses about Hanoi to realize the mutual ideologies govern them.

FROM THE LANDSCAPE TO THE MENTAL LANDSCAPE IN THE POETRY OF Y PHƯƠNG
A well-known Tày poet, Y Phương (1948-2022) had an important bilingual poetry collection in Tày-Việt, Thất tàng lồm (“Against the wind”, Ed. Văn hóa dân tộc, 2006). Although this poetic collection is not consecrated and does not attract the attention of the public, the promised poetic renovations are discovered. Y Phương moves away from traditional subjects, from the usual aspirations to discover new lands. These renovation efforts, which pave the way for later successes, are marked out by displacements from Cao Bằng to Hà Nội, from the mountains to the capital. Their displacements are accompanied by the interiorization of the landscapes of the native country, of the high region in the lyrical subject. Questions then arises: how can we establish the imbalances between the text and the paratext, between the exterior landscapes and the interior landscapes? Can we define the mental changes of a voluntary exodus from a native country, whose landscape is internalized?
ONLINE LEARNING SATISFACTION AND READINESS AMONG UNDERGRADUATES: INFLUENCING FACTORS AND GENDER DIFFERENCES
This study aimed to investigate the relationships among three factors (instructional support, assessment, and skills development) and satisfaction, as well as readiness, in online learning, with gender differences were also considered. The study surveyed undergraduate students in the southern universities in Vietnam (n = 484) using the Vietnamese version of the Student Outcomes Survey questionnaire (Fieger, 2012). The results revealed that students’ online learning satisfaction and readiness were moderately related to instructional support, assessment, and skills development. Two variables (instructional support and skills development) positively explained learners’ online learning satisfaction while assessment and skills development significantly predicted online learning readiness. Besides, an independent samples t-test showed that males were satisfied with their online learning and were willing to participate in this form of learning when the pandemic would be over. Females had the same result as males about online learning during the pandemic but thought it inappropriate in normal situations. These findings demonstrated the need for a combination of instructional support, assessment, and skills development to enhance learners' online learning satisfaction and readiness. The study contributes to the educational field regarding awareness of learners about online learning. The implications and limitations of these findings were discussed.
THE QUALITY OF ONLINE TRAINING AT UNIVERSITIES IN HANOI IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID 19 - SITUATION AND SOLUTIONS

In particular, the Technoware factor has the most influence on the quality of online learning, but this is also the factor that needs to be prioritized for improvement. Based on the above research results, the authors have proposed four groups of solutions to improve the quality of online learning.
FROM THE CONCEPT OF SPACE TO LANDSCAPE CRITICISM: A LANDSCAPE STUDY OF “XIANGXI WORLD” WRITTEN BY “COUNTRYMAN” SHEN CONGWEN
The application of Space Theory and Landscape Criticism to literary research, as well as the interaction between space theory and landscape criticism research, has expanded the scope of literary research to a certain extent and made literary interpretation more diverse. It also realizes interdisciplinary research in literary research and plays an important role in the development of contemporary literary theory. Through The Border Town, Shen Congwen has created a series of vivid and unique literary landscapes. That is a “Xiangxi world” which is not only strange but also closely related to the real social space. From the perspective of space, the article systematically decrypts the literary landscape features and landscape creation art in Shen Congwen's novel The Border Town, so as to summarize the author's unique artistic contributions.
LANDSCAPE, BODY, POETRY: FROM ECOLOGICAL AESTHETICS TO GREEN THERAPY IN KOREAN AND VIETNAMESE ART CINEMA [THROUGH SHI AND MOON AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WELL]
The article analyzes the deep and complex relationship between nature, the feminine body and poetry in two art films The moon at the bottom of the well (Nguyen Vinh Son, 2008, Vietnam) and Shi (Bourne, 2010). From there, we see these two films as critical discourses against the commercial cinema that is dominating the Asian market (which tends to beautify and romanticize both subjects, “landscape” and “female”). Then, going deeper into the powerful expression of the ancient capital landscape, as well as the feminine body’s resistance to that invisible power, through comparison with other popular entertainment works with the “picturesque” appeared at the same time, the article examines the process of eco-aesthetics in art films that question ecological and gender discourses in commercial films or television series. Finally, the article also looks for an exciting point connecting the two films in the sharing of the conservatism of the traditional patriarchal society colliding with recent changes, in the beauty of the natural world is internalized associated with the trauma and salvation of women in the lower classes of society, in the redefining of poetry not only as of the surface of beautiful landscape images but also as the depths of forgotten human tragedy and crisis.
THE CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL VIETNAM - INDIA COOPERATION UNDER THE “ACT EAST” POLICY’S IMPACTS (2014-2021)
Since 2014, Prime Minister of India Narenda Modi has transformed the “Look East” policy into the “Act East” policy and identified Southeast Asia as an important partner to ensure the strategic interests of this country. Accordingly, India has considered Vietnam as one of the pillars of “Act East” policy and an important partner in the Indo-Pacific vision on the basis of promoting comprehensive cooperation with Vietnam through “hard power” and “soft power”. In the years 2014-2021, Vietnam and India have promoted comprehensive cooperation in all fields, in which, culture - education has become one of the main cooperation fields of the bilateral relations and contributed to the success of India's “Act East” policy. This article analyzes the position and role of Vietnam in India's “Act East” policy and the achievements of cooperation between two countries in the field of culture - education.
ORIENTAL LANDSCAPE IN THE VISION OF A WRITER IN THE SECOND EMPIRE
The journey to the East is part of the passion of Gustave Flaubert, who wrote a historical novel on the Punic War in ancient Carthage, Salammbô (1862). Before writing his novel, Flaubert wanted to visit the Orient to see with his eyes the ancient sites, the historical ruins and especially the African landscapes. He had to live the atmosphere there to make the “smell”, to make the oriental landscape breathe in the novel descriptions. Hence the description of Flaubert, always exotic, comes out of the clichés made by the speeches of the time on distant countries. His description also moves away from the Balzactian description which is always in the background of the novel. The Flaubertian description of the landscape by becoming subjective implies the refusal of the distinction of colonial civilization. This is the beginning of decolonization at a time when colonization is at its height.
FACTORS AFFECTING INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS’ INTENTION FOR STUDYING ABROAD
Based on the frameworks of the Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study aims to explore a full model predicting determinants of international students toward getting an education overseas. The online survey was administered to Vietnamese students from high-schools and universities during three weeks in May 2021. A total of 524 questionnaires were used for data analysis. The results highlight that attitude towards studying abroad, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control and financial support factors positively influence international students’ intention to be educated overseas. Particularly, the direct and indirect effects of financial support factors, including scholarships, financial grants, student loans and financial help from families and friends, on international students’ intention were firstly explored in this research, making the theoretical contributions. Moreover, this research provides insightful practical implications for foreign HE universities/institutions and education practitioners to better target and promote international students.
PLACE - MAKING IN KAWABATA YASUNARI’S NOVELS
Kawabata Yasunari’s novels can be said to be an image of landscape and Japanese people of their own nature. In a certain sense, his work is the identity for Japanese culture. The compositions of “the melancholy artist wandering in looking for the beauty” are bold in landscape, depicting typical scenes of the land of cherry blossoms such as the scenery of the ancient capital with temples, gardens, pine forests, mountains, or the wild snow country with four seasons changing leaves… The landscape in Kawabata’s eyes carries an “aware” heart and is a place for people to discover themselves. The journey of the characters (the main character in Kawabata’s storied hardly stays in one place) is almost not to perform specific jobs, but is really a search for a place, to heal, to exist. It can be said that the spaces and places in Kawabata’s novels are imbued with “the sense of place”. The theory of place in phenomenology, to the concept of the “sense of place” in Phenomenology of Architecture, or Humanistic Geography, all aim to describe places man in a space with the interaction between his inner being and the outside world. A place is not just a place, it is an environment that affirms and confirms the existence and existence of people only. Place includes the cohesion of all internal and external factors, place includes the spirit of place, individuality, stability, sense of place. It even leads to concepts such as the identity of the place, the state of no place, or the death of the place... The article wants to re-read Kawabata’s works under the theory “sense of place” of architectural phenomenology to clarify Kawabata’s making Japanese landscape once again, in the way of Orient spirit, Japanese aesthetics, as he himself wrote in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech - “Japan the Beautiful and Myself”.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PICARESQUE FICTION IN THE NOVEL THE ADVENTURE OF AUGIE MARCH (SAUL BELLOW)
Picaresque novel is one of the most pre-existing genres of novels in European literature as a provocation against the typical Chivalric romance. The Adventure of Augie March by Saul Bellow is a good example of the return of this genre in the twentieth century. The novel tells the story of the varied and often aimless pursuits of a young man, Augie, growing up in the decades before and during the Great Depression, the great economic cataclysm of the 1930s.

SOCIAL - EMOTIONAL COMPETENCE OF STUDENTS WITH HEARING LOSS IN HUE CITY
Children with hearing loss are at risk of having difficulties in developing social-emotional competences compared to their peers. In Vietnam, so far, there has been no research on the social-emotional competence of hearing-impairedchildren. This paper aims to evaluate the reliability of the DASSE mini scale in using it to assess the social-emotional competence of children with hearing loss. This study used SPSS.20 software to evaluate the reliability and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the scale. A cross-sectional study on assessing social-emotional competence with the DASSE mini scale was conducted on 50 hearing-impaired students aged 6-12 years with varying degrees of impairment. The results of the evaluation of predictive validity show that the scale has high reliability and has good and suitable predictive value: Cronbach's Alpha = 0.928, KMO = 0.869 (> 0.05), sig. = 0.000 (sig Bartlett's Test < 0.05). The average score of the DASSE mini scale is: Mean =16.67. There are 56% of the students with social-emotional competence scores in the range of "Typical scores" and 44% with scores of "Need for instruction". There was no significant difference between male and female students in the study (t(50) = .377, p > .05), but the results showed annegative correlation between one’s degree of hearing loss and their social-emotional competence (r = -549, sig < .005).
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OF HUE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Youth is the early period of adulthood and at a high risk of emotional vulnerability that can lead to mental illness. Literature has shown that emotional intelligence (EI) can reduce mental health problems among youth. Evidence has shown that about three million Vietnamese young people are experiencing mental health problems, but only 20% of them received necessary medical assistance and treatment. This study investigates EI among Vietnamese youth to promote effective and practical solutions to improve young people's mental health and emotional capacity in Vietnam. This is a cross-sectional school-based study using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF) to assess emotional intelligence of students at Hue University. The findings reveal that students at Hue University had relatively high EI with good ability in well-being, self-control emotions, and building relationship with others. Maintaining relationships and reacting appropriately to others' feelings were the lowest ability. Students at the University of Education had better EI than those at other university institutes due to some EI aspects of the educational curriculum. Males were better than females in Self-control. There was no difference in EI between students from rural and urban areas. These findings suggest that the EI development program should be included in the education program for undergraduate students and focus on developingemotionality.
THE ORIGINS OF CHAMPA: WAS THERE A KINGDOM OF XI-TU (西屠國) IN THE THU BỒN VALLEY ?
There is a theory that explains the origins of Campā (Champa) by rendering a paradigm in which a kingdom referred to as Xi-Tu emerged in the Thu Bồn valley (a part of Quảng Nam Province today in central Việt Nam) around the 3rd century CE, and then absorbed the Lin-Yi kingdom by the end of the 6th century, resulting in what today is known as Champa. In contrast to this assumption, this paper uses both historical and archeological evidence to show that there was, in fact, no such a kingdom in the Thu Bồn valley in the 6th century. Instead, the evidence shows that from the beginning of the 4th century Lin-Yi conquered many small neighbouring kingdoms, including Xi-Tu (if it in fact existed). Champa, or Campā, was the Sanskrit name used by the ruling class of the Kingdom of Lin-Yi to refer to their territory (Lin-Yi is the name derived from Chinese historical documents). The discussions concerning the existence of Xi-Tu aim to clarify the nature of the birth of the polity with Indic influences located on the coast of Indochina,known as Champa. Determining the cradle of Champa, once known to be in the territory of Lin- Yi, could lead to a better understanding of the growth of this kingdom, with its unique historical and geographical background. With this in mind, the author would like to share his views on the issue, currently regarded as "a critical point in the historiography of Champa" (Taylor, 2021, 581).
PHILOLOGY STUDIES AND PUBLISHING IN INTERNATIONAL JOURNALS
The article outlines literary achievements from the early 20th century to the present. Having reviewed typical authors and works, we divide the history of philology research into three periods: French studies, Russian studies, and Vietnamese studies. Focusing mainly on the Vietnamese study period, we conducted a survey of philologists under 70 years old with internationally published works in two groups - WoS/Scopus journals and Other journals - and have reached the following conclusions: 1. Domestically trained philologists have made international publications 4 times more than those who are trained abroad; 2. Due to the relatively high likelihood of publishing works internationally in quite a short time (focusing on more than 50 WoS/Scopus articles in the past 5 years), we propose the Ministry of Education and Training prescribe regulations in doctoral training, that is, supervisors and PhD students must have WoS/Scopus papers to further promote university and national rankings; and 3. The government needs to review the schemes for sending people to study abroad. In the field of philology, studying abroad hardly brings the expected effect, so instead, the Ministry of Education and Training could spend that amount of money to invest in strong philological research groups in the country. Supervisors should be responsible for training and sending their students to practice or study abroad, if necessary.
CONNECTION BETWEEN HUMANS AND NATURE IN THE STORIES OF FRUITS AND FLOWERS (PHAM HO)
