skills and practice

• Motivating students to learn, and training them to use self-studying skills

• Guiding students how to learn and helping them study effectively

on their own

• Taking responsibilities for the

students’ learning

2 Discuss the question:

Which do you think is more essential for better learning – good teachers or good

textbooks ?

• Textbooks are essential teaching and learning materials in any programme and syllabus Having good textbooks is very important Good textbooks provide students with adequate knowledge, skills and practice Good textbooks also guide students how to learn and help them study effectively on their own

• However, having good teachers may be more important than

having good textbooks because a good teacher can turn a poor

quality textbook into an interesting one In fact, a good teacher can even replace the textbook, motivate students to learn, and train them

to use self-studying skills Besides that, the teachers must take

responsibilities for the students’ learning

As the Vietnamese idiom says:

“ NO GUIDE, NO REALIZATION”

In summary, having good teachers is more essential for better

learning than having good textbooks
