Ce mémoire s'interroge sur les impacts de la densité sur la qualité d'habitation dans les parcelles résidentielles du quartier Bui Thi Xuan à Hanoi. Il a pour objectif d'explorer les relations entre (1) la densité, (2) l'organisation et l'aménagement et (3) la qualité d'habitation au niveau de la parcelle résidentielle, afin de développer des directives pour contrôler la densité et ses impacts sur la qualité d'habitation. Il s'agit d'une recherche qualitative exploratoire, qui utilise également l'analyse typo-morphologique et l'analyse corrélationnelle. Le recherche montre que, sous certaines conditions, les habitants peuvent accéder à la satisfaction résidentielle dans un contexte de densité élevée et, donc, que certains facteurs d'aménagement et de design peuvent améliorer la qualité d'habitation dans une situation de densité élevée.

The Apprentices' Tower of Hanoi is introduced in this thesis. Several bounds are found in regards to optimal algorithms which solve the puzzle. Graph theoretic properties of the associated state graphs are explored. A brief summary of other Tower of Hanoi variants is also presented.

L’objectif de cette étude est de comprendre les relations entre les organisations constructives, formelles et spatiales et les modes d'appropriation de la façade des maisons dans un quartier résidentiel à Hanoi, au Vietnam. Elle présente les analyses et les caractéristiques des murs de la façade des maisons du point de vue morphologique et de l'appropriation des espaces. La recherche comporte quatre chapitres. Le premier chapitre présente d’abord une introduction générale de la ville de Hanoi et du quartier Bui Thi Xuan. Ce chapitre présente également la pertinence de l’étude des murs de façade des maisons du quartier Bui Thi Xuan, ainsi que les modes d’appropriation de la façade. Le deuxième et le troisième chapitre présentent le cadre conceptuel, théorique et méthodologique de la recherche. Ces chapitres contiennent les notions de mur et de façade, la structure du mur de façade, les modes d’appropriation de la façade et de ses espaces, et la méthodologie de recherche. Le quatrième chapitre fait état des résultats de la recherche, décrivant et interprétant les caractéristiques de la façade des maisons et les relations entre les organisations constructives, formelles et spatiales et les modes d’appropriation de la façade du quartier Bui Thi Xuan. La recherche permet de comprendre les caractéristiques principales de la façade des points de vue constructif, formel et spatial et de montrer l’influence de ces organisations sur les modes d’appropriation de la façade par le contrôle que les habitants ont sur les espaces, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, d'un bâtiment et les usages de ces espaces. Ce mémoire décrit également la relation entre les fonctions des espaces intérieurs et les organisations spatiales et formelles de la façade de maisons dans le quartier Bui Thi Xuan. / The researching purpose of the thesis is to understand relationships between structure, form, space organization and ways of using the housing's façade in the quarter Bui Thi Xuan, Hanoi. The thesis will make analysis and describe main characters of the housing's façade from the angle of morphology and space use. Researching contents include 4 chapters. Chapter I will state an overview on the situation of Hanoi and Bui Thi Xuan ward, as well as the necessity of the research on the wall of housing's facades in the quarter Bui Thi Xuan and ways of using the housing's façade. Chapters II and III will indicate scientific bases and methodologies of the research in the thesis. These two chapters will focus on clarifying basic concepts of the housing wall, housing's façade as well as its structure, ways of using the façade and researching methodologies. Chapter IV will mention researching results of the thesis by describing and explaining main characters of the housing's façade, the relationship among structure, forms, space organization and ways of using the housing's façade in the quarter Bui Thi Xuan. The thesis will make contributions to clarifying main characters of the architecture of the façade from the angles of structure, form and space as well as indicate the influence of the façade's architecture on ways of using the façade by managing and controlling the indoor and outdoor space of local residents. Finally, this thesis also describes the relation between the functions of interior spaces and the form-space organization of housing's façade in the quarter Bui Thi Xuan.

There is a great need for competent teaching of Business English in tertiary institutions in Vietnam. At the Hanoi Foreign Trade College (HFTC) alone, about 150 students per year seek training to equip them to work in export and import organizations, banks for foreign trade and customs departments. In teaching such students, one problem is the provision of interesting and relevant materials. This study addresses the question of selection of materials and techniques for teaching business English listening skills. This Field Study Report consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 describes the purposes and aims of study, the background to this study, dealing with students, the teaching and the curriculum. Chapter 2 looks at the general theory about listening and in particular listening in business. The chapter also describes listening requirements for business graduates from the HFTC. Chapter 3 discusses criteria for selection of textbooks for language teaching in general and for teaching listening skills in business English in particular. Chapter 4 surveys the teaching of business English in two institutes of Technical and Further Education in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The final chapter makes suggestions for priorities to improve the teaching of business English. This Field Study Report should be regarded as an exploratory attempt in choosing classroom techniques and materials for teaching listening skills to students of commerce at the Hanoi Foreign Trade College.

In order to raise the standard of teaching and learning translation and interpretation, one of the essential points is to understand the fundamental issues of the theory of translation and interpretation as well as the qualities expected of translators and interpreters. Therefore, this Field Study Report attempts to review some of the literature available on these questions and make a survey of various translator and/or interpreter training courses outside Vietnam. Then, based upon the implications given by these theoretical issues and the findings from the survey of these courses, this Field Study Report tentatively suggests ways to raise the standard of teaching translation and interpretation at the Hanoi College of Foreign Languages. Accordingly, the context of the Vietnamese situation is always kept in view throughout these discussions.

In Vietnam today there is an urgent demand for well-designed tests of listening comprehension. Little attention has been given to this problem. This field study is intended to provide guidance on the design of listening comprehension tests and in particular for intermediate level students at the Hanoi Foreign Language College (HFLC). The Field Study Report consists of six chapters. Chapter One gives a brief introduction which covers the problem, aims, subjects (testees) and the background of the Field Study Report. Chapter Two deals with the purposes of testing in some detail, setting this in the framework of the teaching-testing link, teachers and testing, and students and testing. Test characteristics are considered and the problem of sampling for test content is addressed. Chapter Three concerns test items for listening comprehension. The chapter begins with a short description of listening comprehension and is followed by a survey of theorists on listening comprehension together with the test items for listening that they suggest. Some commonly-used standardised tests and their listening items are discussed. The chapter ends with a checklist of selected listening items suitable for students at HFLC in Vietnam. Chapter Four discusses the designing and trialling of test items for listening comprehension, such as multiple choice, completion of a taped talk, matching pictures with statements etc. The chapter presents the results of the trialling of sample items and also deals with correlations between the sample tests used. Chapter Five deals with test design and development in general. It clarifies the bases for test design and provides a checklist of steps in the development of tests. In addition, the chapter includes a resources inventory for listening test items. Chapter Six presents the conclusions of the Field Study Report.
