Trang 3A INTRODUCTION
I, THE REASON FOR CHOOSING THE TOPIC.
We are living in a globalization world with full of opportunities as well aschallenges Everyone, especially the youth, has made great efforts to keep pacewith the storming development in all aspects of social life
Owning the advantages of activeness, health and confidence, the youth deeplyaspire to affirm their ability and “ego” with their family and outside world.Theyhave so many good conditions and chances to realise their dreams as well as theirambitions
Besides, the opening of the market economy has brought a new flow of windwhich penetrates deep into every family, every person, sweeping young people into
a new lifestyle, busy and hurrying With curious and inquiring nature, the youth arealso infected with negative aspects of the market economy and “ digital life” easily.Many of them heighten the importance of the fame, money and power so much thatthey forget the core values in their life, such as family happiness, the love andcompassion
To prevent the possible passive influence, educating life skills for studentsbecomes one of the special enterests all around the world In Viet Nam, with thepurpose of educating the youth totally to achieve both standards of talent andmorality in order to meet the international intergration’s requirements as well aslearner’s developmental expectation, the educational system has been innovatedstrongly That requires every teacher not only to train professional competence forstudents but also to nurture their soul and personality through education of lifeskills in teaching process
The school where I am teaching is located in Tho Xuan district, Thanh Hoaprovince Teachers there always believe that administration of school disciplinesand education of life skills play an important part in comprehensive education forstudents
Especially, in the condition of relatively rapid development of market economythere, people’s living standards are being improved everyday.The change of socialand economic life has created both good and bad influences on the students Morethan ever, teachers need to prepare for them a solid foundation of knowledge andessential skills which help them to determine, respect and maintain indispensablevalues of the life, including two basic aspects: family and career From my heart-
self thought, I would like to present the initiative experience named “Intergrating
the education of true values and life skills about home life and career orientation for students in grade 12 English lessons”.
Trang 4II THE PURPOSE OF STUDY
I sincely hope that this topic will contribute to raise the quality of totaleducation for my students Moreover, in more and more complicated social context,
I desire to share my experience of the educational intergration of the true valuesand neccessary skills in home life and career orientation for students in Englishteaching process with my colleagues
III THE OBJECT OF STUDY
In this topic, my main concerns are to reseach educational intergration of truevalues of home life and career orientation and necessary life skills in homelife andcareer orientation for students in teaching process From that, I would like to formthe true consciousness for students about family’s values and the way to solveproblems relating to home life as well as provide them with stable basics of skills
to choose a suitable job when they leave high school
I also would like to research to find out the most suitable methods ofintergrational education in order to raise the quality of total education for students
in High schools
IV THE METHODS OF STUDY.
In the studying course of my own topic, I myself carry out investigation andanalyse methods from the practical requirements with the learned knowledge todraw conclusions for the study, such as:
- Theoretical and experimental experience in present environment to build up the subject
- Read and study the related documents to draw good experiences to apply for
Trang 5B THE CONTENTS OF INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE
I THE THEORETICAL BASIC OF THE TOPIC.
2002 to direct and thoroughly grasp innovation policy in secondary school
- According to Official document No 463 / BGD&DT - GDTX issued on
indergaten schools, secondary schools and continuing education centers
- According to Official document No 3131/CT-BGDĐT issued on August
- According to UNICEF, life skills are defined as psychological abilities foradaptive and possitive behaviour that enables individuals to deal effectively withthe demands and challenges of every day life They are loosely grouped into threebroad catergories of skills: cognitive skills for analysing and using information,personal skills for developing personal agency and managing oneself and inter-personal skills for communicating and interacting effectively with others
Life skill education is a structured programme of needs-and-outcomes- basedparticipatory learning that aims to increase positive and adaptive behaviour byassisting individuals to develop and practise psycho-social skills that minimize riskfactors and maximize protective factors Life skill education programmes aretheory - and evidenced - based, learner - focused, delivered by competentfacilitators and approciately evaluated to ensure continuous improvement ofdocumented results
Family definited by Merriam is a group of individuals living under one roofand usually under one head (household) It is the basic unit of society and thebackground for every person’s life Living happily in family and building familyhappiness is not only the truly desire but also the responsibility of each member init
Home life is a person’s family, personal relationships, and the domesticroutine and interests Family happiness is built through wonderful values of homelife such as love, parents’ sacrifice for their children, children’s respect to theirolder generations A healthy and stable home life is built through small butpractical actions in the behaviour of family members in daily activities includinglistening, sharing routine work, the sympathy, forgiveness and caring eachother aswell as the respect of family rules
Career is the job or series of jobs that you do during your work life,
especially if you continue to get better jobs and earn more money
To orient career well, students must know to self - evaluate themselves
depending on what they are living and working with but what they want
Trang 6Education of necessary skills in home life and career orientation belongs toskill groups of giving decision, communication, co-living and resolving situations,skills to love and respect others These skills provide students with a goodbackground of personality, help them to be confident and live better in the future.From that, they determine the right motivation and attitude for studying.
II THE REAL STATE OF TOPIC.
1 Advantages
- The rapid development of science, technology, mass media gives studentsopportunities to acquaint with and widen the social knowledge, including familyand profession aspects
- Students are active and creative people, so they find it easy to comprehend and apply basic knowledge relating to daily life into their real life
2 Disadvantages
- Because of the bad influence of market economy as well as globalisingtrend, especially the unserious attitude in learning and the self-indulgence inlifestyle, the thought of enjoyment, being addicted to game online, etc, manystudents neglect right motivation, nice dreams and ambitions
- Rushing to Europeanizing way of living leads many students to disregard the good values of family and society
- The educational content of the topic is a intergrating activity, so the timefor discussing and understanding the values and the essences of life skills in homelife and career orienting skills is short
- There has not been any teacher in my school who is professionally trained about life skill education
3 The results of the real state of topic
In fact, Due to the defying good cultural, moral values, some groups ofstudents are in state of moral depression, faint ideals, the shortage of ambition andstriving awareness for future
Some students are induced to social evils They no longer respect theirparents, their teachers and friends
In some families, parents are busy working and earning for life’s demands.The care and management of children are not warm and strict enough.That is whymany students don’t feel the deep meanings of family and precious values of freshlife
From the last academic years, especially in the school year 2017 - 2018 I wasdistributed to teach students in grades 12A1, 12A10 Through teaching process Ihave realised that the lack of responsibility and necessary skills in home life andcareer orientation created for students so many difficult problems that they felt
Trang 7difficult to face or deal with Instead, they rushed to “virtual lifestyle” and thisinterfered with learning results and ethnical training.
Table 1 The learning result in grades 12A1, 12A10 in the school year 2017 – 2018
students
Table 1 shows that students’ learning result is not good There isn’t any very good
student The number of students who have average and weak result are high Fewstudents get good result
Table 2 shows that the result of conduct training is not very high There are still
students who have weak conduct That means many students break schooldiscipline and do not have right awareness in learning and moral training From thereality, I find that one of the main causes affecting on above result is the shortage
of warm feelings in home life and professional aspiration Many students find itdifficult to deal with situations happening in home life and feel confused inchoosing a suitable job in future
In the school year 2017 - 2018, I also had a research about students’attitude
to their family and their future career orientation in two classes and followings arethe result
Table 3 Students’attitude to their family
Grade Number Feel happy Having some Having so
students
Trang 8Table 4 Students’attitude to their future career orientation
Number Determine Wondering Haven’t known
Table 3 shows that the proportion of students who feel unhappy or having
problems in their home is quite high When asked about their feelings in homeThey usually feel lonely, bored with daily routines They find it difficult to solvesituations in home life and follow family rules Many of them don’t feel theirparents’love for them From my study, I find that many students only think abouttheir aspects but their parents’ones They trend to live for themselves but are notaware of their responsibility
Table 4 shows that the proportion of students who determine their future
jobs clearly is also not very high Many of them orient jobs without basing on theirability as well as their character They have trends to choose according to what theywant On the contrary, the number of students who are wondering or haven’t knowhow to choose a suitable job are relatively high One of the main reasons whichstudents have to face in the professional orienting process is the lack of relatingskills Therefore, in the academic year 2018 – 2019, since I was assigned to teach
English in grades 12A3, 12A4 I have chosen the topic “Intergrating the
education of true values and essential life skills about home life and career orientation for students in grade 12 English lessons”.

+ A family is to be a shelter in times of storm
We all have storms in life because sometimes life get tough We experiencethe rain and the dark storms, such as failure, rejection, changes in life We didn’tplan these storms In the storm, we need a place of protection and security Weneed a place to call home and a family that love us and care us inspite of our shortcoming and failure Family are fans when we have losing seasons Therefore, afamily is always a shelter in times of storm
+ A family is a learning center for life: We usually think of parents
teaching the children If we are not learning from your family, we are missing greatopportunities.In family, we can learn basic and vital skills for life; not only usualroutine such as how to walk, eat but also the core life values such as how to love,how to live plainly and modestly and the awareness of responsibilities,etc Manychildren in their youth are like plants that grow up strongly in their family Why wenot?
+ A family gives us a peaceful place to play after everything outside: The
home should be a place for family fun, a haven for happiness and a place to havegood time which no place on the world can give us a similar chance to have There,
we can relax and do what we want without worrying anything Then, we will haveprecious memories that always warm and cherish us in coming years
+ A family should be a launching pad for our good future: Our parents
always do the best things inspite of sacrificing their lives to make sure that theirchildren can grow up and become kind-hearted and mature people
+ A family is a place to give and receive love without any condition:
Family is the first community that all of us have a strong attachment to It is theunconditional love that is the key to build the close-knit relationship amongmembers in the family The close-knit relationship becomes the foundation formany other core values It teaches us how to believe, how to respect yourself andothers, how to forgive and forget, etc The love of family gives us strength and agracious heart
Trang 11* Teacher gives a lecture : From the above values, you can see that family is
unvaluable possession for one’s life How can we live happily without family? It isnot a easy question to answer That is also the reason why all of us must respectevery moment beside our relatives and family so that we have right awareness ofresponsibilities in home life and with other members
ACTIVITY 2 Educational intergration of responsible awareness in home
life for students

This question will help students revise systematically as well as learn from eachother about what they should do for their family
After students diccuss and give their answers, teacher completes andprovides more information about the main responsibilities of students as a child intheir home through the projector
+ The biggest responsibilities of children is to become a good child who obey the right and good advice of their parents You should learn well to create
a happy future for yourself This is the way to acknowledge your parents’ merit.Because only when you have a good jobs, good salary and living condition, youcan properly take care of your parents in both physical and spirital sides as they areold or not able to work and earn
+ Respecting your parents and other members in your family Family are
