The book "Linguistic Awareness in Multilinguals English as a Third Language" by Dr. Nguyen Thi Thanh Van explores the concept of linguistic awareness in multilingual individuals who use English as a third language. The author argues that the ability to be aware of one's own language and the languages of others is crucial for effective communication and understanding in today's globalized world. The book focuses on the importance of developing a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge, which the author believes is essential for the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state. The book begins by discussing the challenges faced by multilinguals when using English as a third language, such as code-switching, language transfer, and language loss. The author then delves into the concept of linguistic awareness and its significance in facilitating effective communication and understanding among multilinguals. She argues that linguistic awareness is not only about being aware of one's own language but also about being aware of the languages of others and their cultural backgrounds. The author emphasizes the need to study and understand the process of technology evolution, particularly in the context of globalization and the digital age. She posits that technology has revolutionized the way we communicate and access information, and it is essential to understand how these technologies work to navigate the complexities of modern life.
