This article examines Vietnamese ethnic minority students’ language practices under the influence of external interventions from a language management perspective. It focuses on the ways the students engage with various levels of interventions in their language practices. The study mainly draws on a group of college-age minority students’ experiences and perspectives collected through semistructured interviews. Findings suggest that the students, in making decisions to use their ethnic language and Vietnamese, the mainstream language, responded to interventions by the school and the ethnic community by adapting to the latter's language policy, while reinterpreting to conform to/deviate from interventions by other individuals such as their parents, their teachers, or their peers. In that process of managing their language practices, they reframed their identity in which both maintenance and transformation orientations were active. Implications related to minority language policy and language maintenance are then suggested.

外部干预影响下越南少数民族学生的语言实践：一个管理视角

本文从语言管理的角度考察了在外部干预影响下的越南少数民族学生的语言实践。它侧重于学生在语言实践中参与各种级别的干预的方式。该研究主要借鉴了通过半结构化访谈收集的一组大学生少数族裔学生的经历和观点。调查结果表明，学生在决定使用他们的民族语言和主流语言越南语时，回应通过适应后者的语言政策来接受学校和少数民族社区的干预，同时重新诠释遵从/偏离其他人的干预，例如他们的父母、他们的老师或他们的同龄人。在管理他们的语言实践的过程中，他们重构他们的身份，其中维护和转型方向都很活跃。然后提出了与少数民族语言政策和语言维护相关的含义。（语言管理、个人语言管理、语言实践、语言选择、​​语言政策、语言维护、少数民族）*
