Rationale
The current state of English education in Vietnamese high schools emphasizes grammar and exam preparation, resulting in students struggling to communicate despite achieving high test scores To address this issue, I initially encouraged students to record and send videos of their speaking to teachers via email, messenger, or Zalo However, this method proved ineffective due to the large number of students, making it challenging for teachers to provide individual feedback Additionally, the private nature of the video submissions limited systematic learning, as only the individual student benefited from the feedback Furthermore, this approach hindered class motivation, as students were not able to witness their peers' enthusiasm and learn from one another.
I discovered that Flipgrid is an effective app for enhancing speaking skills in project-based learning By creating an account and organizing groups by class name, I was able to develop unit-specific topics My personal experience as a learner allowed me to revisit my presentations, highlighting the benefits of Flipgrid in project lessons and enabling me to guide students in their English learning journey.
For the above reasons, the writer decided to choose "using -App fripgrid to maximize the effectiveness of the project lessons for 10th grade students" as the teaching experience.
Novelty
Active involvement increase
Many traditional schools, especially in rural and mountainous regions, have focused on teacher-centered activities, leading to a classroom environment where students often remain passive listeners This results in minimal active participation and enthusiasm for learning among students Unfortunately, this issue persists in numerous educational institutions, as both students and teachers are reluctant to embrace innovative teaching and learning methods.
Flipgrid is a free platform that enables students to create and share short videos in response to various questions or topics Educators have the option to allow or restrict students from viewing and commenting on their peers' videos, fostering an interactive learning environment.
While fostering classroom community and student-to-student relationships can be difficult through a screen, Flipgrid helps bridge this gap.
engagement and motivation increase
Flipgrid enhances blended and personalized learning by boosting student engagement and motivation Traditional English exercises often fail to captivate students, but the Flipgrid app transforms learning by allowing them to create videos This platform enables students to discuss questions and topics freely, without constraints of space or time.
The scope of the study
To enhance the effectiveness of project lessons for 10th grade students at Thanh Chuong 1 High School, a survey was conducted to gather essential data from learners The study involved 88 students from two classes at Thanh Chuong 1 High School in Nghe An province.

Theorical background
Definition of project based learning
Project-based learning, which emerged in the early 1980s and was significantly shaped by the communicative approach, has become a widely recognized and effective method in teaching English as a foreign language today.
The origins of Project-Based Learning (PBL) can be linked to the progressive educational philosophy of John Dewey, who championed the concept of "learning by doing." Dewey believed that classrooms should function as miniature societies, where students are empowered to take center stage in their own learning journey.
Legutke and Thomas (1991) define project work as a learner and task-centered mode of teaching and learning which results from a joint process of discussion between all participants
A project is a comprehensive task that typically combines various language skills through multiple activities (Hedge, 1993) Key features include the utilization of authentic English language materials, a focus on integrity and student-centered activities, active student participation, and the integration of diverse skills.
Project work is an instructional approach that contextualizes learning by engaging students with real-world problems to solve or products to develop (Moss & Van Duzer, 1998) This method fosters creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, self-directed learning, and essential study skills.
Project-based learning is an effective educational approach that empowers students to express their opinions on topics of interest, ask questions, and develop theories This method encourages the use of various tools and skills in real-life contexts, enabling learners to creatively solve problems and answer questions both in the classroom and beyond (Katz & Chard, 2000).
Thomas defines Project-Based Learning (PBL) through five key criteria: first, projects must be central to the curriculum rather than peripheral; second, they should focus on questions or problems that engage students with the core concepts and principles of the discipline; third, projects must involve students in a constructive investigation.
Projects in Project-Based Learning (PBL) are significantly student-driven and designed to be realistic rather than resembling traditional school assignments Additionally, collaboration is an essential criterion in PBL, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in the learning process (Thomas & Mergendoller, 2000).
Project-Based Learning (PBL), as defined by Stoller (2006), encompasses several key elements: it involves both a process and a product, grants students partial ownership of their projects, and spans an extended timeframe PBL integrates various skills while enhancing students' understanding of topics through the combination of language and content It encourages collaboration among students and promotes individual responsibility for learning by requiring them to gather, process, and report information from target language resources Additionally, PBL assigns new roles to both students and teachers, culminates in a tangible final product, and includes reflection on the learning process and outcomes This approach contrasts with traditional English teaching by emphasizing the communicative and functional aspects of language learning, while also focusing on the integration of language and content.
The definition of Project-Based Learning (PBL) is evolving, leading to diverse interpretations and a lack of a universally accepted model This variability has resulted in numerous PBL research and development activities, adding complexity to the field However, there are still commonalities among the design features of PBL.
Flipgrid
Flipgrid is an interactive social learning platform that enables educators to pose questions via video or voice recordings, to which students can respond in kind It allows students to comment on videos created by teachers or peers, fostering a vibrant online community where knowledge is collaboratively shared and developed.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the 'Flipgrid' application, a video recording and social media tool for PC and mobile devices, in enhancing English communication skills in a high school setting Conducted at Thanh Chuong high school, the research explores innovative strategies to boost communicative engagement in higher education Students utilized Flipgrid on their smartphones to create presentation videos and participate in online discussions Data was collected through teacher observations, video recordings, and student feedback via a questionnaire.
2.2 The benifits of using Flipgrid in project lessons
Since its launch in 2014, Flipgrid has gained popularity among teachers and students globally due to its engaging platform that fosters innovative learning and interaction in the classroom One of the key benefits of using Flipgrid is its ability to enhance student participation.
Students engage with each other on Flipgrid by utilizing video responses, allowing them to record and refine their answers until they feel confident This process provides ample time and space for thoughtful contributions to discussions, enabling students to interact with their peers without the immediate pressure of a live classroom setting Consequently, Flipgrid enhances students' creativity and motivation by fostering a more comfortable environment for expression.
Utilizing video recordings, texts, emojis, and stickers on Flipgrid enhances the learning experience for students accustomed to technology and social media Videos not only make learning more engaging but also encourage creativity among active participants while providing a platform for more reserved students to express themselves This approach shifts students' focus from anxiety to active participation, fostering deeper learning opportunities.
Flipgrid significantly reduces the anxiety and stress often linked to class discussions, fostering greater student engagement It allows students to connect with peers globally, enabling them to learn about new cultures through direct interaction rather than just textbooks This continuous participation in discussions leads to a more immersive learning experience, ultimately enhancing information retention.
Practical backgroud
The programme of MOET
The Ministry of Education and Training's GDPT 2018 program has significantly revamped the educational curriculum, including substantial changes to the English subject with various new textbook sets In our school, we have adopted the "Global Success" textbook series, which consists of 8 lessons per unit, culminating in a project lesson at the end of each topic To enhance the effectiveness of these project lessons, I have implemented the application "Flipgrid."
The school’s real context
In Thanh Chuong district, a high school with 33 classes across three grades, each accommodating 30 to 44 students, is located in a submountainous area The school boasts 85 dedicated and supportive teachers who strive to enhance student learning Recent improvements to the school's infrastructure, funded by generous donations from sponsors, alumni, and parents, have significantly benefited the teaching and learning of English Notably, there are now 33 computer-equipped classrooms available for students.
33 smart television-equipped classes, 3 audio-visual rooms, 1 digital English language lab, 2 information technology classrooms, and 1 STEM classroom.

Summary
Flipgrid offers a modern solution to traditional classroom challenges by allowing students to systematically submit their work by question and discussion topic This platform fosters a collaborative learning environment where students can view and comment on each other's contributions, as well as access teacher feedback, enhancing their learning experience Additionally, Flipgrid features automatic subtitle generation for videos and an immersive reader option, enabling students to revisit and engage with their reading material effortlessly.
To improve their reading and speaking skills, individuals must first identify the words they struggle with, including mispronunciations, incorrect sounds, and awkward sentence breaks They can then practice these words and record videos of their attempts, continuing until they minimize errors and achieve a level of satisfaction with their performance.
I utilize the Flipgrid application to effectively assess my students' speaking skills, particularly when traditional speaking tests cannot be organized This innovative tool allows for accurate and objective evaluation of students' performance, aligning with modern assessment standards in English education Additionally, Flipgrid alleviates the challenges of cumbersome testing methods, making it especially valuable during the complexities of the epidemic for speech assessment.
Using Flipgrid encourages prompt responses from students when teachers pose questions related to learned topics, reducing hesitation in answering However, the diversity of responses varies significantly; weaker students often replicate phrases from the conversation, while average students demonstrate some vocabulary variation and basic structural changes In contrast, more proficient students not only alter vocabulary and structure but also incorporate additional knowledge into their answers.
The implementation of Flipgrid has significantly enhanced students' confidence in their listening and speaking skills, leading to quicker communication reflexes and a more flexible and fluent use of vocabulary and grammatical structures.
Utilizing Flipgrid beyond school hours boosts children's confidence in speaking English; however, it raises new challenges The key question is how to create more opportunities for language use within the classroom.
Language production activities are among the most challenging to execute effectively, particularly in large classrooms with students of varying proficiency levels, where many learners may be below average.
Limitation
The learning process faces several challenges, particularly for students from underpaid farming families with disadvantaged backgrounds These students often lack access to essential learning tools like smartphones, laptops, and tablets, which hinders their ability to practice English outside of school Additionally, only a small percentage of students show genuine interest in learning English, resulting in limited engagement during class While most have been studying the language since third grade, others have only started in sixth grade, contributing to varying levels of English proficiency among them.
36 is average Lesson and question content is inappropriate for students' knowledge, which prevents them from engaging in active learning and motivation
While most of our dedicated teachers understand the importance of motivation and active participation, they often struggle to create engaging activities that captivate students Developing interactive exercises for the online platform Flipgrid is a challenging and time-consuming endeavor that requires patience and skill Notably, three out of eight teachers have never utilized Flipgrid in their classrooms, with one even being unaware of its existence Consequently, despite their technological knowledge, many teachers lack confidence in effectively using this app during lessons.
recommendation
Students
Many students face challenges due to a lack of electronic devices, such as iPads, laptops, and smartphones, which limits their ability to utilize technology for educational benefits To address this issue, students can lend their devices to peers and collaborate in groups, sharing resources effectively However, it's important for teachers to guide students on uploading relevant videos, as some may post unrelated content Additionally, providing incentives like gifts and compliments for high-quality videos can enhance student motivation and engagement.
