Abstract :
Our study presents the results of a survey on the current situation of Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary usage among 150 students at Thai Nguyen High School. Using a mixed survey method (quantitative and qualitative), the study assessed three core competencies, including identifying, interpreting, and using Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary. The research results show that students’ abilities are currently at a fairly good level, with clear differentiation between grade levels. The study also points out systemic limitations in understanding the deep meaning and applying words in context, thereby proposing directions for innovative teaching methods to improve the effectiveness of learning and using this vocabulary class.
