Vietnam: What is dominant inspiration? What is the grade from which students are required to recognize the dominant inspiration of the writer?

What is dominant inspiration?

Dominant inspiration is the intense, profound, and pervasive emotional state within an artwork, often closely tied to a specific idea, perspective, or value that the author wishes to convey. This is an important factor that helps shape the content, emotions, and meaning of the work, simultaneously having a direct impact on the emotions and perceptions of the audience.

Dominant inspiration not only expresses the author's attitude and emotions towards what they describe but also acts as a bridge between the work and the reader. It reflects the author's artistic viewpoint, and perspective on life, and is conveyed through words, images, sounds, rhythm, or structure of the work. It can be a feeling of admiration, love, gratitude, joy; or conversely, strong emotions like sorrow, hatred, indignation, or satire. The author's choice of dominant inspiration contributes to creating coherence in the development of the subject and ideology of the work.

Examples:

- In the poem "TBếp lửa" by Bang Viet, the dominant inspiration is the remembrance, respect, and deep gratitude of the grandchild towards his grandmother. Through the image of tBếp lửa, the author not only recounts emotional childhood memories but also expresses sacred, enduring feelings towards the family.

- In the piece "Đất Nước" by Nguyen Khoa Diem, the dominant inspiration is the love for the homeland, and country, combined with pride and appreciation for the enduring traditional values of the nation.

Therefore, dominant inspiration is not only a factor that creates the emotional depth of a work but also serves as a means for the author to convey a significant message, contributing to connecting the soul of the creator with the audience.

What are the perspectives on developing the Literature curricula in Vietnam?

Under Section 2 of the General Education Program on Literature as promulgated by Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT:

- The Literature curriculum is developed on theoretical and practical foundations, updates on research achievements in education, psychology, and teaching methodology of Vietnamese literature; achievements in literature and linguistics research; achievements in Vietnamese literature across various periods; experiences in developing Vietnamese literature curricula, particularly from the early 21st century until now, and international trends in curriculum development in general, and the Literature curriculum in particular over recent years, especially from developed countries; societal practice, education, economic conditions, and Vietnamese cultural tradition, especially the diversity of students in terms of regions, conditions, and learning abilities.

- The Literature curriculum focuses on training communication skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) as a central theme throughout all three education levels to meet the program's capacity-oriented direction and ensure coherence and continuity across all grades and levels. Fundamental, foundational knowledge about the Vietnamese language and literature is formed through activities in comprehending and creating texts; directly serving the requirement of training in reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.

- The Literature curriculum is developed with an open approach, reflected in not specifying detailed teaching content but stipulating the outcomes needed in reading, writing, speaking, and listening for each grade; delineating some basic, core knowledge about the Vietnamese language, literature, and some texts with a significant, crucial position in national literature as mandatory content for students nationwide.

- The Literature curriculum meets both the innovation requirements and emphasizes inheriting and enhancing the strengths of existing Vietnamese literature curricula, especially the current one.
