Measures to enhance Vietnamese language skills for 5–6-year-old Thai ethnic children in kindergartens in Nghe an province

Enhancing Vietnamese language proficiency for ethnic minority children is a vital task to ensure equal learning opportunities and improve educational quality. In Nghe An province, most Thai ethnic preschool children use their mother tongue for daily communication. This leads to limitations in vocabulary, pronunciation, and Vietnamese communication skills when they enter the 5–6-year-old stage, a period of preparation for Grade 1. Literature appreciation activities are considered an effective tool for language development, helping children expand their vocabulary, practice listening and speaking skills, and develop communication abilities. However, using these activities to enhance Vietnamese for Thai ethnic children in kindergartens remains limited in terms of content and methodology. Based on this reality, this research focuses on proposing measures to enhance Vietnamese for 5–6-year-old Thai ethnic children through literature appreciation activities, contributing to more effective language development and higher quality in preschool education for ethnic minority areas
