Generative AI Empowering Chinese Language Teaching in Vietnam: Current Applications, Empirical Investigations, and Practical Pathways

The iterative upgrading of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly reshaped the pedagogical forms and developmental models of international Chinese language education. As a core country for Chinese learning in Southeast Asia, Vietnam witnesses robust and growing demands for Chinese language education, yet it has long confronted structural dilemmas including insufficient teacher supply, inadequate localized teaching resources, and difficulties in implementing personalized instruction. To explore the adaptability and practical value of AI technology in Vietnamese Chinese teaching, this study adopts a mixed‑method research design. Based on questionnaires, semi‑structured interviews, and an eight‑week classroom action research involving 221 teachers and learners from universities, primary and secondary schools, and training institutions in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, this paper systematically examines the application scenarios, practical effects, and localized challenges of generative AI in local Chinese pedagogy. The results indicate that generative AI functions as an effective digital pedagogical scaffold, alleviating shortages of teaching resources and professional teachers, reducing learners’ foreign language anxiety, and improving the efficiency of basic linguistic training. Nevertheless, current applications are constrained by insufficient Vietnamese‑Chinese bilingual corpus adaptation, inadequate teachers’ AI pedagogical literacy, learners’ technological dependence, and prominent regional digital divides. Grounded on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and sociocultural constructivist theory, this study constructs a teacher‑led and AI‑assisted collaborative teaching paradigm and proposes targeted optimization pathways from four dimensions: localized resource development, teacher competency cultivation, classroom procedure reconstruction, and learner media literacy enhancement. This research fills the empirical research gap regarding intelligent Chinese language education in Vietnam and provides practical implications for the digital transformation of Chinese language education in ASEAN countries.

Adoption and Adaptation of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Organizations: Actions for Efficient and Responsible Use in Interaction with Collaborators

The aim of this work was to determine the actions needed to adopt and adapt Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for efficient and responsible use in the organization, without affecting the contribution of the collaborator to his/her work activities. A bibliographic review of the scientific literature and information published by consulting companies on the current development of research related to GenAI and its impact on organizations was carried out. Artificial intelligence search tools, academic search engines were used, and criteria for the inclusion and exclusion of publications were established. As a result, necessary actions were identified for the adoption, adaptation, efficient and responsible use, and interaction of GenAI with employees in their work environment. These actions include the adjustment of processes, infrastructure, and resources; capacity-building for integration and a culture of innovation, protocol development, staff training, creation of flexible and supportive working environments, collaboration with regulators, transformation of work; and alignment of staff management practices. It was concluded that GenAI is having a major impact on organizations by automating processes and increasing productivity and efficiency. It is essential to address actions in three categories: staff training, fostering a culture of innovation, ethics, and accountability in the use of this technology, and its efficient adoption and adaptation without affecting the contribution of employees. This research helps to identify the elements needed to deepen research development and define, in real contexts, the effectiveness of the adoption and efficient adaptation of GenAI in internal processes and interaction with collaborators, with the aim of promoting best practices that generate value through its use.
