Vietnamese Children Book Writing Contest

Writing Contest 2023

About the Contest

The National Resource Center for Asian Languages (NRCAL) promotes Vietnamese Literacy Development. Nurturing the love for the Vietnamese language in children not only helps intergenerational communications in families, but it also develops self-confidence in children and affirms their cultural identity and biliteracy. Awarded texts will be published and made available as resources to the PreK-12 Vietnamese language programs across the U.S.

Trung Tâm Tài Liệu Quốc Gia Về Ngôn Ngữ Châu Á (NRCAL) ủng hộ những dự án nâng cao trình độ giảng dạy và học tập Việt ngữ ở hải ngoại. Khuyến khích lòng yêu mến tiếng Việt của các em không những giúp cho sự giao tiếp trong gia đình giữa những thế hệ khác nhau mà còn phát triển sự tự tin, khả năng song ngữ và bản sắc văn hoá của các em.
