The 2024 Spring iVPT International Vietnamese Proficiency Test took place today, May 4, at National Taiwan University(NTU) in the Northern District, National Cheng Kung University(NCKU), and National University of Kaohsiung(NUK) in the Southern District. This certification has garnered widespread attention and active participation from many candidates. Candidates have expressed that the iVPT International Vietnamese Proficiency Test is highly discerning and thoroughly evaluates their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. This has given them a clearer understanding of their language abilities and increased their confidence.

Candidates proficient in Vietnamese will be better integrated into these cross-cultural exchanges, promoting cooperation and development between the two countries. Therefore, the Center for Vietnamese Studies at NUK and the Center for Vietnamese Studies at NCKU hope to cooperate more closely. They aim to promote the education and learning of the Vietnamese language and invite more candidates interested in the Vietnamese language and culture to participate actively in the iVPT International Vietnamese Proficiency Test.
