SKKN Applying the interdisciplinary knowledge to teach the section: speak – Unit 1 English 8 for students in grade 8

1. INTRODUCTION

I.1. Reasons for chosing the study

     As we all know, today, English plays an important role in communication. It is widely used around the world and considered as the common language of communication, especially in the period of the current international integration. So English has an important position like other subjects in school. The teaching of English is required today as increasing not only the knowledge but also the concern of every teacher to teach this course in Vietnam. That is why all of the teachers of English have to try their best to find out the methods in order to help their students master the knowledge of this subject easily. I am also an English teacher. Through the experience I have got during my teaching, I have found out that using integrated teaching in teaching English is very effective. 

        Through many years of teaching, I have found that it is necessary to combine knowledge between the subjects to solve a problem in a subject. That not only requires the subject teacher not only to master the knowledge of the subject they are teaching but also to constantly improve the knowledge of other subjects to help them solve the situations, the issues raised in the subject in the fastest, most effective way.

       The textbook program in general, English in particular has been implemented as a program that is based on a theoretical perspective. Content of the new program The Ministry of Education is planning to reform in view of practicality, focusing on basic knowledge and skills, attaching importance to practical application, integrating many aspects and many contents education. The teaching process is mainly oriented for students to self-learn, self-study, self-discover and occupy new knowledge. The renewal of such views is indispensable if we do not want our education to lag behind the general trend of world education but according to UNESCO’s orientation, there are 4 pillars: “Learning to know, study to do, learn to live, learn to assert themselves ”(1)

      Integrated teaching is one of the educational perspectives of interest. Implementing integration in teaching will bring a lot of benefits to the formation and development of action capacity, problem solving capacity for students. In fact in schools today, the teaching in the direction of English Tieengs is less concerned, most teachers are afraid to link, integrate with the relevant content from previous lessons or lessons of another subjects. In  this situation, I have studied and launched the initiative: “Applying the interdisciplinary knowledge to teach the Section: Speak – unit 1- English 8 for students in grade 8 at  Nga Tan secondary school”. I hope that, teachers, students and those who are interested in the issue of professional reference, supplement and comment to improve the topic.
