The competition in the Russian language has been held at Le Quy Don University of Science and Technology, which operates in the capital of Vietnam. A tournament of this kind has taken place for the first time in a higher education institution, the Institute. Pushkin reports.

It was organized by the department of the Russian language. They came up with an unusual format of competition. In the first round, all participants answered test questions. After that the finalists competed in teams. They were offered creative contests and a task for the knowledge of Russian culture. Students sang songs of the war years and managed to convey the mood and meaning of the songs. They also recalled the struggle of the people of their country for freedom and independence.

Vietnamese folk songs translated into Russian and popular Russian pop songs were also performed during the competition. The participants were seriously preparing for the third contest, in which they had to answer questions about the Russian language, history and culture of Russia. Almost all the teams coped with the task correctly.

The honorary guests of the tournament were teachers of the The Pushkin State Russian Language Instituteinvited by the Vietnamese colleagues. They conducted practical exercises with students of the preparatory faculty and seminars for teachers.
