Hue Phap Lam is a unique artistic medium that flourished under the Nguyen Dynasty, characterized by an aesthetic language of enamel colors that encapsulates the cultural philosophy of Hue. This article analyzes the core characteristics of this “color language” through three primary dimensions꞉ fabrication techniques, the symbolic significance of the color palette, and the interplay between colors and figurative elements within royal artistic spaces. The study demonstrates that Phap Lam enamel color transcends mere technical application to become a sophisticated vehicle for philosophical and emotional expression. Based on these findings, the author proposes practical applications of the Phap Lam color language in art education and contemporary applied arts. These directions aim to foster aesthetic competence, design thinking, and heritage preservation awareness among art students and practitioners in the modern context.
MUSIC EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER THROUGH RHYTHMIC DURATION
Music education has been shown to be effective in supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in developing cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social interaction skills. Among fundamental musical elements, rhythmic duration ‑ forming the basis of rhythm and meter ‑ plays a significant role in stimulating attention, concentration, and motor responses. This article analyzes the role of rhythmic duration in music education for children with ASD, clarifying its function in fostering musical perception as well as related supportive skills. Based on this analysis, the study proposes music education activities centered on the perception and expression of duration, including rhythmic pattern recognition, meter awareness, and movement‑based activities such as percussion and visual representation. The findings indicate that utilizing rhythmic duration in music education not only enhances musical abilities but also supports adaptability, communication, and social integration in children with ASD, offering a practical approach for contemporary special education.

REGIONAL VOCAL IDENTITY IN VIETNAM IN THE CONTEXT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND VOCAL TRAINING
Regional vocal identity in Vietnam is shaped through the interaction of language, culture, and the living environment of each community. In contemporary vocal training, particularly Western classical vocal education based on the Bel canto system, insufficient attention to regional characteristics may result in the homogenization of vocal expression.

THE DECORATIVE ART OF HUE NHÀ RƯỜNG HOUSES IN CONTEMPORARY INTERIOR DESIGN
This study proposes an approach of “conservation through creation,” integrating traditional knowledge with contemporary design in order to construct an application framework for Hue nhà rường motifs in interior design.

The main contribution of the study lies in establishing a theoretical framework for applying artistic heritage to interior design with a distinctly Vietnamese identity in the context of globalization
THE ART OF SHAPING CHINESE CHARACTERS IN THE DECORATION OF LAI THIEU CERAMIC ELEPHANT STANDS
In the process of researching traditional Vietnamese art, the art of shaping Chinese characters in the decoration of Lai Thieu ceramic elephant stands is a subject of academic and aesthetic significance but has not yet been systematically studied.

NATIONAL INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUES IN QUANG NINH꞉ FROM SYSTEMATIZATION TO ORIENTATIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND PROMOTION
Amid Quang Ninh's ongoing economic transition from a “brown” to a “green” growth model, intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has been increasingly recognized as a nucleus endogenous resource underpinning sustainable development. With nineteen ICH elements inscribed at the national level, the province possesses a culturally rich and diverse heritage landscape, yet it also confronts mounting challenges arising from globalization, and pressures of tourism commercialization. This article systematizes the values of Quang Ninh's 19 national ICH elements through an analytical framework comprising three groups꞉ intrinsic values, socio‑community values, and applied–developmental values. It further analyzes the current state of heritage management to identify key achievements, persisting constraints, and potential risks—including tendencies toward “performative staging” and interruptions in intergenerational transmission. Drawing on these findings, the study proposes a set of comprehensive solutions that emphasize policy improvement, empowerment of the community's pivotal role as the primary heritage bearer and custodian, application of digital technologies, and the development of heritage‑driven tourism products with substantive cultural depth which aim to foster the sustainable conservation and meaningful promotion of intangible cultural heritage values in the evolving contemporary context.
HÁT XOAN SINGING AS A CASE OF GLOCALIZATION꞉ AN ANALYSIS OF THE RECONFIGURATION OF INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE IN VIETNAM'S URBAN CONTEXT
This article examines Xoan singing in Phu Tho province as a representative case of cultural glocalization in the safeguarding and revitalization of intangible cultural heritage in contemporary Vietnam. Under the influences of globalization, urbanization, and digital transformation, Xoan singing ‑ once a sacred village‑based ritual ‑ has undergone profound reconfiguration in its social actors, spatial settings, performance forms, musical aesthetics, costumes, and functions. Drawing on ethnographic data, governmental reports, and secondary sources (2011–2024), the study adopts an anthropological and cultural approach, employing the theoretical frameworks of glocalization and heritage reconfiguration to interpret the adaptive mechanisms of this heritage practice. The findings indicate that Xoan singing has evolved into a form of dynamic heritage, simultaneously maintaining ritual authenticity and flexibly adapting to urban environments and global media networks. This paper contributes to theoretical discussions on cultural glocalization in intangible heritage studies and proposes the concept of “dynamic conservation” as an alternative approach to contemporary cultural governance in Vietnam.
ANALYSIS OF MOTHER TONGUE INTERFERENCE ON VIETNAMESE ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDENTS' ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION
English serves as a global language for communication and intercultural exchange. In Vietnam, students typically begin learning English in middle school, and the tonal‑phonetic characteristics of Vietnamese often pose challenges in achieving accurate pronunciation. This study explores the impact of mother tongue on English pronunciation among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students at a university in the Mekong Delta. A survey of 56 English Studies students revealed common errors, such as sound omission, confusion of similar sounds, intonation problems, and tonal interference. A comparison between first‑year and fourth‑year students, indicates that beginners exhibit a higher frequency of errors. Based on these findings, the study proposes practical pedagogical strategies to mitigate mother‑tongue interference and enhance Vietnamese learners' communicative effectiveness in global contexts.
