On January 25th, 2026, the English Club of the Faculty of Foreign Languages, Van Hien University, held its first gathering of the new year in a vibrant, warm and energetic atmosphere. With the theme of Lunar New Year (Tet), the program not only welcomed the beginning of 2026 but also created an opportunity for students to connect, learn and develop both academic and soft skills. The program began with a warm-up activity featuring a Tet-themed quiz game, which attracted enthusiastic participation from students. Familiar questions about Tet’s customs, traditions and cultural values contributed to a lively atmosphere, helping club members quickly engage and connect with each other.
