SKKN Sử dụng một số công cụ hỗ trợ hấp dẫn để dạy một tiết học online hiệu quả

PART A: INTRODUCTION 

1. Reasons for the study. 

According to the Ministry of Education and Training 2021, online teaching is an activity to support or replace face-to-face teaching at a general education institution. The newly teaching model applied, typically “online training”, is one of the optimal solutions. It is capable of meeting the urgent needs in learning and teaching. Moreover, it is facilitating multi-level training. 

Especially in the current context, the Covid-19 epidemic still has many complicated developments. Many schools have been requisitioned for epidemic prevention and control. Many construction and repair works have been suspended. There are also some  teachers and students who are F0  being treated at home or being in isolation cannot go to school directly. Therefore, online teaching is the most suitable and  interesting choice of the teaching staff of the education sector. The only and optimal method that is able to equip people with knowledge skills, and especially to ensure a learning plan for the general education system. So how to teach online effectively? The most effective is a matter of concern for educational administrators, teachers, parents and students. 

Unlike face-to-face classes, online lessons do not have much time and opportunities for students to interact and exchange information with other students, reducing the ability to communicate between students. Therefore, the problem of exchanging, connecting and enhancing mutual learning is a limitation. Especially for introverts, it is easy to fall into isolation and receive little support. Students will not even interact with the teacher, leading to the teacher having a hard time to  manage the students and the class is becoming boring. In order to have a good quality online English class, giving students an excitement when absorbing the lesson, the teacher must really have unique and attractive methods. Through the process of online teaching, I realize that in addition to the knowledge and style of a foreign language teacher, the teaching method is also an extremely important factor in attracting students’ interest, concentration and interest as well love the subject. Currently, there are many new teaching methods that have been applied in the online teaching process. These are good methods, easy to use and have contributed to improving the quality of the subject. Through the process of teaching online, I have applied “Some interesting support tools for teaching online effectively” to my lessons to stimulate students’ interest in learning.   Personally, I find that using some attractive support tools in teaching and learning English online is really effective. Students feel excited when learning English through these support tools. 

To be honest, there are inevitable shortcomings and mistakes in my study in such limited time. I am glad to have more constructive opinions and helpful supports from my colleagues so that it will be more perfect and applicable.
