With the theme "Voices in Sync: Shaping Our Global Direction", the 8th Van Hien Expanded English Language Talent Contest 2026 brought together students from various universities, academies, and colleges across Ho Chi Minh City. Far beyond a mere language proficiency assessment, the contest served as a platform for contestants to foster critical thinking, presentation skills, reasoning capacity, and self-confidence in articulating perspectives in English.
At the Final Round, Pham Thanh Huyen, a student from Van Hien University, delivered an outstanding performance to claim First Prize, becoming the Champion of the 8th Van Hien Expanded English Language Talent Contest 2026. Furthermore, Van Hien students continued to make their mark, with Third Prize awarded to Nguyen Hoang Le Vi and Nguyen Hoang Sang, while the Consolation Prizes went to Duong Pham Xuan Nghi and Nguyen Thao Uyen.
The students' achievements are a source of great pride for Van Hien University, affirming the effectiveness of a language learning environment closely tied to practical application, skill acquisition, and hands-on experience. This also stands as a testament to the proactive spirit, confident self-expression, and global readiness of Van Hien students.
