In the context of increasingly deep international integration, together with the strong development of science, technology, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence, the requirements for foreign language education are undergoing fundamental changes. Foreign language education is no longer aimed solely at equipping learners with language knowledge and skills, but increasingly focuses on developing the ability to use language in learning, research, and career; intercultural communication competence; the ability to adapt to the digital environment; and the capacity to participate effectively and responsibly in the international environment.

Decision No. 2371/QD-TTg dated October 27, 2025 of the Prime Minister approving the Project "Making English the Second Language in Schools for the 2025–2035 Period, with a Vision to 2045" has set out the requirement to build an English-using environment, improve staff competence, and gradually bring about changes in the teaching, learning, and use of English at educational institutions.

On that basis, organizing the international conference "Language Education and Research for Global Citizenship" carries practical significance in creating a forum for managers, scientists, experts, lecturers, and learners to exchange research findings, share experience and practical models; to discuss policies, conditions, models, and solutions for making English the second language in schools; and at the same time to promote innovation in teaching methods, testing and assessment, research, and the application of digital technology and artificial intelligence in foreign language education. Through this, the Conference contributes to enhancing learners' language competence, intercultural competence, and global citizenship competence.

The Conference is also an activity that concretizes the Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation among 06 higher education institutions, contributing to strengthening research-training linkages, developing the professional and research capacity of the teaching staff, and expanding domestic and international academic cooperation networks; thereby contributing to enhancing the academic standing and reputation of Hai Phong University of Management and Technology. This is also one of the activities toward celebrating the University's 30th founding anniversary.

Use the author–date system. Examples: parenthetical citation (Nguyen, 2025); narrative citation Nguyen (2025); two authors (Nguyen & Tran, 2025); three or more authors (Nguyen et al., 2025).
For Vietnamese author names, in-text citations should use the author's surname/family name as presented in the cited source. Examples: (Nguyễn, 2025); (Nguyễn & Trần, 2025); (Nguyễn et al., 2025). For works published in English or in international publications, retain the spelling of the surname/family name used in the original source; do not add or remove diacritics or otherwise alter the author's name.
Direct quotations must include a page number, e.g., (Nguyen, 2025, p. 25) or (Nguyen, 2025, pp. 25–26). For sources without page numbers, use an appropriate locator such as paragraph number (para.), section heading, or timestamp.
Direct quotations of 40 words or more must be formatted as block quotations in accordance with APA 7.
Secondary citations should be used sparingly and only when the original source cannot reasonably be accessed.

2. Reference list

Include only works cited in the manuscript, and ensure that every in-text citation has a corresponding reference-list entry and vice versa.
Arrange entries alphabetically by author surname and apply a 0.5-inch (1.27 cm) hanging indent to each entry.
Where available, present DOIs as URLs in the form https://doi.org/xxxxx. Do not prefix a DOI with "DOI:".
For ordinary URLs, do not add a period after the URL if it could be interpreted as part of the link. Retrieval dates are generally unnecessary unless the content is designed to change over time.
Article and chapter titles use sentence case; journal titles and volume numbers are italicized as required by APA 7.
For Vietnamese authors, names in the reference list should be reproduced as presented in the original source and formatted in accordance with APA 7; do not independently convert between forms with and without diacritics.
