This article presents the concept of Vietnamese grammar competence and the process of designing the Vietnamese grammar compentence scale for ethnic minority students. Determining a grammar competence benchmark will help teachers to better communicate their knowledge to students and develop appropriate teaching strategies to develop learner competencies. Based on the actual situation of teaching Vietnamese as a second language, the standard for evaluating Vietnamese grammar competence is specifically described into 6 levels. Grammar competence is made up of 3 components: the ability to identify, analyze and use grammatical structures; capacity to identify and analyze semantic and pragmatic aspects of grammatical structures; ability to apply grammatical structures in specific communication contexts. Each component is subdivided into behavioral indicators and sets of performance criteria that meet those behavioral indicators. The scale after design is used as a basis for developing tools to assess the grammar competence of the ethnic minority students in Vietnamese language teaching.

Ethnic minorities and the choice for technical directions in education: an unutilised potential Ethnic minorities and the choice for technical directions in education: an unutilised potential There are a lot of studies which focus on the choice of technical directions within vocational education. But in these studies, little attention is given to the specific position of ethnic minorities. To what extent is their choice behaviour different? Statistical data show that ethnic minorities are underrepresented in technical directions in vocational education. A specific survey on backgrounds for this phenomenon shows that there is a relatively large group of ethnic minority students who do not choose for a technical direction, in spite of the fact that they have a talent in this direction and are interested in technology. This result holds in a multivariate analysis in which also several other factors are taken into account. We also investigate to what extent those with a technical direction in vocational education want to work in a technical profession and/or the manufacturing industry afterwards. Finally, a number of recommendations are given how to reach higher shares of ethnic minority students choosing technical directions.

With the increasing diversification of the population comes an increased need for ethnic minority psychologists. Most counseling psychology programs will have to dramatically increase the numbers of ethnic minority students they enroll and faculty they hire to achieve parity and meet the need for more ethnic minority counseling psychologists in the future. This article describes the preconditions and strategies needed to recruit, to select, and to support ethnic minority students and faculty in counseling psychology programs.
