APPENDIX 19

Within a countryside environment where the access of smart devices has just beenspreading in a large scale recently, many schools still prefer to rely on traditionalmethods of teaching, without admitting that the possibilities opened whentechnology is brought into the classroom are endless

Along with the rapid development of technology and modernization in the 4.0 era,students may face many difficulties in using the Internet properly and effectively,serving their learning purposes Especially in a countryside environment where theaccess of smart devices has just been spread on a large scale recently, theinvolvement of teachers in the online learning process of students in order to guidethem can be a smart step and even, bring positive effects in education system

Recently, due to COVID-19 , schools have been shut down all across the world.Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom And Vietnam is not anexception As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise

of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms

Despite a lot of difficulties, this can be an opportunity for people to seriously putonline teaching or using the Internet to assist teachers and students’ tasks underconsideration, not just as a temporary solution, but a stable and promising one

Based on these above-mentioned contexts, I decide to choose “Enhance the role of teacher to help students review and practise English through the Internet” as the

theme to contribute my ideas

2 Basis of practice :

From the matter of fact, during most of speaking lessons, if teachers apply the oldteaching method – teachers only read or give illustration and students’ work iseither copying or imitating, there will be only a small number of studentsbrainstorming and working actively, the rests will passively listen regardless ofunderstanding the meaning, purposes and usages of structures and communicativesituations given Hence, this results in low teaching quality and few students withflying colours To make it worse, students increasingly lose interest in learningEnglish, and approach it in a protective way

Although online learning is a revisited topic and highly-recommended solution,

there are not many good suggestions for teaching online, which is learning online having the teacher involved Because we need to objectively admit that (1) online

teaching is not synchronized with the school’s official agenda; (2) it is not effectiverandomly because teachers do not control students' learning, (3) teachers do not getpaid for online teaching However, easily dismissing the idea without noticing thevarious ways of teaching and considering their benefits to our students can limit usfrom some possibilities to improve our jobs and students’ quality of learningEnglish

Therefore, at the beginning of March, I did a survey participated by 73 students in 3classes of 12C3, 12C5 and 12C7 of Yen Dinh 3 High School, to study the Internet

habits and effectiveness of online learning among this group And below are some survey results:

Firstly, the time for surfing the Internet among grade-12 students was relativelystable Almost one half of the participants was reported to keep online for about 3hours or more per day, the other half used the range of 1-2 hours Only 5 studentsasked used the Internet for less than 1 hour a day

Secondly, the most popular platforms among students included Facebook, Youtubeand Zing MP3 Meanwhile, about 35% of the students came to Facebook first whenaccessing the browser This shows that the Internet was often seen as anentertainment tool, rather than learning one.

Third, nearly 70% used the Internet for learning purpose, but only a half said thattheir method is effective

II AIMS OF THE RESEARCH

As an English teacher with over ten years’ experience, I have continuously beenwondering and researching the techniques to better the quality of teaching English.Knowing that the students’ psychophysiology is doing what they fancy, enjoyingnew things, putting their noses on pleasures rather than studying, I have been

trying my best to offer them lectures in which they can work for both study and relaxation

- Demonstrating that the teacher's role in interacting and teaching online withstudents is necessary and important

- Analyze the impact of interactive online learning with teachers on students

- Suggest some effective methods for teachers in promoting student learningthrough the internet

- Help students create a new breakthrough in revision for the National HighSchool Exam,

I have been trying my best to offer them beyond on-class lectures which were thereason why I chose the internet as a modern platform to help students effectivelypratice their English and have more motivation in their studying This techniquehas been applied for more than four months since 2020 and in the first step I can

see its promising future Therefore, I decisively exchange my initiative experiencewith my colleagues.

III- OBJECTS OF THE RESEARCH

In each lesson of English grade 12, I prepared 50 multiple-choice questions for mystudents to review their knowledge about this unit And now I decided to use it asthe main material for my research, to assist the online reviewing process

In this report, I will take Unit 14’s questions package to be an example, so that theprocess can be explicitly understood

IV-METHODS OF THE RESEARCH

During the application process, I used some applications and websites as followed:

- Zoom: to open online meetings (teaching through Powerpoint lecture) and

play Kahoot!

- Kahoot.it: an online multiple-choice game played in a group setting,

boosting students' language reflexes and ability to remember lessons I usethis game to help students master the latest lessons It can also increase thewholesome competition in learning and change the class atmosphere andstudents’ attitude This is also a good way for me to measure students'participation in the online learning process

- Facebook (Messenger): Social media platform to create open space for

discussion and Q&A on the topic that has been learnt at class or throughZoom (I focus on one main function of Facebook is Messenger)

- Youtube: where materials are provided with audio and video After the

discussion about the subject, I attached interesting and useful youtube linksfor students to refer to

- SHub classroom: Releasing test, review questions and measure students’

First, teaching online here can be considered as online tutoring which is the process

of tutoring in an online, virtual, or networked, environment, in which teachers andlearners participate from separate physical locations Aside from space, literaturealso states that participants can be separated by time It especially includes both thefirst-hand teaching style through video meeting, but also any interactions with themthrough text chat and question posts…

Meanwhile, reviewing activities constructed are those that help students with (1)

their specific lesson from class, (2) their general knowledge related to everyEnglish grammar units and also (3) the one that useful for them in practice as well

as their upcoming National Examination Therefore, the knowledge that has beentransferred by the teacher can range variously from the textbook to extendedmaterial of assistance

II Effectiveness of practising English through Internet

Practising English at home is a difficult task which can sometimes be vague andineffective It is necessary that learners should make constant effort to understand,produce and manipulate the target language Games are highly stimulating thanks

to their both amusement and challenges, social media and online test is friendly tothem thanks to the interactive communication and transparency In addition, theycan use the language in a more empirical way

- The way you can convey knowledge through the Internet is diverse You cancombine games, online video calls, quick test and video watching and Q&A… atany where, anytime

- Instead of struggling with a wide range of information, having teachers help them

to initially get familiar with the online environment, as well as provide them withavailable learning materials is a very fresh start for students

- Of course students can now combine and take the best use of conventional andnew methods of learning English, which can improve their learning ability as thequickest

- By creating habits to access Internet for learning instead of entertaining, studentscan change their mindset and come close to the effective online self-searching andself-learning process in the future

III Reviewing materials and the ways to organize them on the Internet:

1 Reviewing materials
