Dans les pays tropicaux, comme le Vietnam, les gens vivent en permanence avec la chaleur et l'humidité, deux causes principales de conditions inconfortables. L'architecture traditionnelle vietnamienne a réduit les impacts négatifs du climat sur l'ambiance thermique à l'aide d'espaces ouverts tels des jardins, des cours intérieures et des puits de lumière. Toutefois, dans les maisons en milieu urbain, l'adaptation au climat a été minimisée à cause de leurs traits typologiques. Ces maisons, qui sont des habitations typiques de Hanoi depuis plusieurs décennies, sont étroites et profondes. De ces faits, pour les maisons de ville, en arriver à un design permettant d'obtenir à la fois le confort thermique et l'économie énergétique est toujours un défi pour l'architecte. Une bonne stratégie architecturale est donc particulièrement importante. Cette stratégie doit à la fois procurer une ambiance thermique intérieure confortable et minimiser l'utilisation d'appareils de climatisation, considérée comme une perte du point de vue énergétique. L'objectif principal de cette recherche est d'étudier l'influence de différentes stratégies architecturales sur la qualité de l'ambiance thermique dans la maison tube des nouveaux quartiers d'Hanoi. Cette étude a été réalisée à l'aide de simulations thermiques dynamiques avec le logiciel Derob-LTH. L'ensemble des résultats obtenus a permis de confirmer la plupart des hypothèses de recherche. Selon ces résultats, on peut conclure que les stratégies architecturales ont influencé l'ambiance thermique intérieure des maisons urbaines. De plus, on peut voir que certaines stratégies à faible coût et très simples à appliquer peuvent améliorer significativement l'ambiance thermique intérieure. Finalement, ce mémoire suggère une combinaison de stratégies architecturales pouvant augmenter significativement l'ambiance thermique intérieure des maisons urbaines.

This field study is aimed at establishing criteria for an appropriate syllabus for the first-year students of English at the Hanoi Foreign Languages Teachers' College. Following an overview of the past and present English language teaching in North Vietnam and at the Hanoi Foreign Languages Teachers' College, the students and their learning problems are analyzed with a view to determining student needs. Such needs should be taken into account when selecting appropriate syllabus content. The relative advantages and disadvantages of language syllabus and teaching methods are discussed. The types of syllabus analyzed are : the structural syllabus, the situational syllabus, and the functional syllabus. The methods considered are:the grammar translation method, the direct method, the audio-lingual method and the communicative approach. The study next identifies the constraints in designing the first year syllabus for the Hanoi Foreign Languages Teachers' College. The things to be considered are the desired qualifications of the language teacher and the program for teacher-training at the college. At the same time, the first year students of English are studied in terms of previous learning experience and motivation. The next stage brings together institutional needs and methodological options in a discussion of an appropriate syllabus for the first year. 1 . The syllabus aims and objectives : that is, the production of proficiency in the four language skills, especially the oral skills of speaking and listening. 2. The syllabus content : the general principles as well as the actual selection of various functions and topics. 3. The method : examination of an eclectic method and the teacher's roles in the classroom as well as the guidelines for more effective teaching. 4. Evaluation: the functions of and the techniques for evaluation. A sample of a language unit of the syllabus follows the discussion of constraints. After a general discussion of the teaching of each of the four skills, the study comes to some of the techniques for developing the oral skills of speaking and listening, the main objectives of the first year syllabus. It is intended that this field study will contribute a small part to the growing understanding of the syllabus design which, for a long time, has been so controversal an issue at the Hanoi Foreign Languages Teachers' College.

At present, there is a great demand for qualified interpreters in Vietnam, but the oral proficiency of the trainee interpreters graduating from the University of Hanoi is far from being satisfactory. This Field Study is an attempt to search for appropriate ways to improve the oral proficiency of final year interpreters at Hanoi University. As any language teacher's work is determined consciously and unconsciously by his/her view of language and language learning, the effective teaching of oral communicative skills requires a good understanding of the nature of language, communication and its process of learning. This field study attempts to review the major theories of language and language learning and their implications for language teaching; and tentatively suggests some guidelines for syllabus design, classroom procedures, and techniques for teaching oral communication skills for final year trainee interpreters at Hanoi University in the light of new developments in these theories of language teaching.
