SKKN Educating the sense of responsibility and kindness for 10th graders via project activities in teaching Tieng Anh 10 (Global success)
English is a compulsory subject in the 2018 National Curriculum and is also one of the instrumental subjects in high schools. It focuses on the goal of forming and developing common competencies and good qualities in accordance with the provisions of the 2018 General Education Program. In the 10th grade English textbook (Global Success), the core content of English subject is expressed through the system of subject matters and themes. Project is delivered at the end of each unit, so the content of each Project is based on the topic of each unit. Through this, students will consolidate their language knowledge of the unit, and at the same time they will develop their skills. More importantly, students’ good qualities are also developed. Project is implemented from the point of view of project-based learning.
To present the product, each student, or each group, depending on their ability, can choose from many different presentation channels, such as using posters or power point to present, acting out talk show, making clips, doing interviews, or reenacting a contest or an event that delves into an aspect with specific content. After each presentation, students should be encouraged to give a message to express their understanding and awareness about the lesson topic and about the world around them. In the fundamental and comprehensive reform of education, the Ministry of Education and Training has emphasized an important change, that is, shifting from attaching the importance of transmitting knowledge content to developing the qualities and competences of the students in the new general education program, with 5 main qualities: patriotism, hard work, honesty, kindness, and responsibility.
Comprehensive education must focus on equipping knowledge along with educating qualities. The qualities that the school must be aimed at are the ones of citizens who know how to "live and love, live autonomously, live responsibly.” A sense of responsibility and kindness are among the qualities that should be present in everyone. Living responsibly is fulfilling obligations to society, school, family, and oneself; it also means being brave enough to take actions and take responsibility. From that, one’s kindness is formed and developed. Therefore, it is very important to train and educate students about the sense of responsibility as well as kindness. Stemming from the practical requirement of innovating teaching methods and from the goal of the 2018 general education program on developing core competencies and qualities for high school students as well as starting from the actual capacity of students at Dien Chau 3 High School, I have decided to choose the topic "Educating the sense of responsibility and kindness for 10th graders via project activities in teaching Tieng Anh 10 (Global Success)”.
