4. SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERNSHIP
My internship began from the 19th
January, 2015 to the 5th
June, 2015. During my internship
period, I gained lots of meaningful experiences to my career. On the first week, I attended some
classes which I watched over professional teacher teaching, such as CDAV15A, CDAV 150,
CDAV 141, DHAV10A, CDAV 149 which were taught by Mr. Nguyễn Hùng Khanh, Ms. Lê Thị
Thúy, Mrs. Vũ Thúy Nhiễu, Mrs, Phạm Thị Xuân Trinh.
After Tet holiday, I started to practice teaching English. The first period on the 23rd
March, 2015
at CDAV 141 class, in A1.06 classroom. The second period on the 2nd
April, 2015 at CDAV 149
class, in A5.06 classroom. The third period on the 17th
April, 2015 at DHAV 180 class, in A5.04
classroom.
After observed and practiced teaching, I have learned many valuable things to myself that I had
never had before. To be blunt, I learned how to transmit knowledge from me to my students, I
learned how to interact with my students, the way to write on the board, and the way to improve
communication skill.
Although only three months for my internship, I realized that the internship is extremely
necessary and significant, and it provides a lot of experiences in building my own career.

attention to time management. However, there are some points I need to improve. Firstly, I
need to introduce the rule of game clearly. Secondly, I should invite various students not only

clear instruction and understandable examples so that students can catch up knowledge easily,

1. DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED
During the internship period, I had to face with many difficulties as follows:
First and foremost, it was not easy to find classes in order to practice English teaching
because some teachers have been accepted other groups before. Secondly, the limited time for
a period so I had to deal with some difficulties when I prepared lesson plan. The period is
only 45 minutes but the lesson seemed quite long so I decided to focus on the main point of
the lesson and then divided each stage with specific time but still ensure the lesson’s content.
Thirdly, the classroom was too small, while the number of students was overcrowded. There
were 50 students in the classroom, so they could not pay attention to lesson well and it was
also difficult for me to divide the class into some small groups. Moreover, because of the
overcrowded students, so it was not easy to manage all the students. Finally, the difficulties
were not based on the way I was mentioned above; it is my difficulty encountered. Because
this was the first time that I had a chance to practice English teaching I lacked experiences
and communication skills with students who were shy and week in class. It was not easy to
convince students pay attention to my lesson with the enthusiastic and interesting way.
I am apologized that I could not find the best teaching method in order to attract and help my
students understand my lesson in the first time. Although during internship period, I faced
with many difficulties, I felt that this was like memorable experiences in my life, and I was a
little bit proud of myself for having had the opportunity to transfer the knowledge for the
younger. Therefore, I am going to improve and learn more effective ways in teaching English.
2. NEW SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES GAINED
During my internship period, I have had learned many new skills and useful experiences to
myself through my supervisor Mrs. Vũ Thúy Nhiễu who was abundantly helpful and offered
invaluable assistance, support and guidance. By the usefulness in her advices, I can improve
my English teaching skills and strategies greatly. Besides, the two teachers who gave me their
classes for my practicing English teaching as Mrs. Lê Thị Thúy and Mrs. Phạm Thị Xuân
Trinh. They gave me professional guidance and specific feedbacks that significantly help me
enrich my experiences in teaching English. Last but not least, my group members who always
beside me and share their ideas and support me during the internship period.
There are some specific valuable skills and experiences gained as the following:

First of all, in the process of teaching, I realized that preparing a lesson is absolutely important
step because it will determine the success of the lesson. Honestly, if I have a good lesson plan,
I will be confident performance in front of class. I also have known how to make students
more exuberant and enjoyable instead of felling tired or not paying attention to the lesson.
Next, I know how to balance time, the best way to arrange time is to focus on the main part of
the lesson so that students are able to understand easily and they will pay more attention to this
part. Besides, interaction is totally important. I have learnt how to interact with students and
understand them so that they are flexible when they are learning. For example, if I want all
students co-operate with me, I should talk to them before starting a lesson and also design
some small games which are related to the lesson in order to make students feel cheerful and
motivated when the lesson starts such as guessing games, matching games, stop the bus.
It can be concluded that I had a chance to improve and practice my weak skills to become my
strong points. In my opinion, one of the best ways to learn English effectively is teacher and
students need to have a good interaction so that teachers are able to exchange the knowledge
easily with their students as well as students are comfortable when asking questions about the
lesson with the teacher.
3. RECOMMENTDATIONS OR SUGGESTIONS
In Vietnam, English has been a compulsory subject, so students have started learning English
at grade six in their high school. Regretfully enough, the teaching of the four skills has not
conducted equally. Whereas Reading and Writing have been focused, Listening and Speaking
have almost been forgotten, so students often feel uncomfortable when being surrounded by
daily English speaking activities. Moreover, there are varieties of weakness in teaching
English. As a foreign language, the teaching English methods should be changed to adapt to
the recent learning styles. I would like to make some suggestions.
First of all, the majority of teachers still use the traditional teaching methods which are heavy
on imparting knowledge, but not encourage students to study independent way and to be
creative thinking methods. Teacher should apply CLT (Communicative Language Teaching)
method or PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production) method in teaching to make the
environment’s class hearty more than using grammar-translation method.
Secondly, there is no doubt that not only teacher makes an effort, but students also play a
major part in learning speaking. Therefore, in order to motivate students to speak English,

teacher should foster their students to practice speaking on a daily basic and make students
realize the nature of speaking process. For example, they can find some foreigners around the
center of the city and some other famous places or look for some English coffee shops where
they can practice English with native speakers. To be blunt, if students practice some ways
that mentioned above, they not only fluent in speaking but also enrich their vocabulary,
structures, slangs and even idioms as well because there is nothing more practical than a good
theory.
Last but not least, this is also a useful advice for teachers to help students overcome the fear
while speaking because students are worried about lack of words or wrong grammar’s
structures. Teacher should make their students feel comfortable and believe that no one is
perfect so making mistakes are unavoidable in speaking. The more they practice speaking, the
richer vocabulary and English structures as well as new ideas they get.
