Body language
This document discusses the importance of incorporating body language into language teaching and learning. It begins by outlining how communication involves more than just words, and body language accounts for a large portion of message delivery. It then examines specific aspects of body language like facial expressions, eye contact, and gestures that teachers should be aware of and demonstrate in their own teaching. The document advocates for teachers to model appropriate body language and allow students practice in order to develop effective communication skills.
Materials or not
The document discusses the use of materials in language teaching, specifically regarding the Dogme approach. It makes the following key points:
1) Materials are necessary to support lessons and engage learners, but teachers should not feel tied to published materials. Teachers need freedom to select materials from different sources to suit their students.
2) While textbooks provide guidance, no textbook is perfect and teachers must adapt materials to fit their classroom context. A combination of materials is best to match different student needs and learning styles.
3) Teachers sometimes need to move away from textbooks to develop real student interactions, but materials also play an important role in language teaching. A balance is needed, not complete reliance on or rejection of materials.
Materials or not
The document discusses the use of materials in language teaching, specifically regarding the Dogme approach. It makes the following key points:
1. Materials can support teaching and learning but teachers should not feel constrained by published textbooks. Teachers are best able to determine which materials meet student needs.
2. Selecting good, well-adapted materials is important. No single textbook is perfect so a combination should be used to match different student learning styles and levels.
3. While the Dogme approach values teacher-student interactions over fixed materials, published materials still provide guidance for inexperienced teachers and support textbook-based learning in Southeast Asian contexts. A balanced approach is recommended.
Investigating teachers’ views of the role and nature of english
This document discusses a study investigating teachers' views on the role and nature of English. It was conducted through questionnaires and interviews with 20 teachers in Vietnam. The study aimed to understand which variety of English teachers think students should learn (native, neutral, local), whether English should have universal standards, and whether teachers want to sound like native speakers. The document provides background on English as a global language and reviews literature on the roles and varieties of English before outlining the limitations and methodology of the study.

This document contains a presentation in Vietnamese on the topic of X-rays and their discovery. It includes slides with information about Wilhelm Röntgen, who discovered X-rays in 1896. The document notes that Röntgen took the first X-ray photograph of his wife's hand that same year. It then discusses how X-rays have been used in medicine to allow doctors to see inside the body, as well as other developing applications of the technology over time, establishing X-rays as an important scientific discovery that changed the world.
The importance of reading on teaching and learning
Reading is crucial for learning a language. especially, reading extensively is even much more important.

Culture shock
This document discusses culture shock that foreigners may experience when communicating in a new culture. It identifies several factors that can cause culture shock, such as losing familiar social cues, differences in values and customs, and an inability to understand the new language and culture. The document also outlines the typical four stages of culture shock: the honeymoon stage, the crisis stage, the recovery stage, and the adjustment stage. Finally, it examines strategies foreigners use to adapt to culture shock, such as predeparture preparation to be aware of potential challenges, maintaining an open mindset, and gradually adapting to the new culture.
Jobs game
This document appears to provide the rules and questions for a game involving groups choosing question packs and attempting to answer occupation-related questions correctly within 10 seconds. Groups can earn points for correct answers or lose points for incorrect answers. The questions involve identifying common occupations like architect, actor, dentist, doctor, lawyer, photographer, pilot, mechanic, farmer, cook, flight attendant, waiter, and police officer from their provided job descriptions.
Game actives and passives
This document contains examples of changing sentences between active and passive voice, identifying which sentences cannot be changed to passive voice, choosing the best answer for passive voice sentences, and answering questions in passive voice. It provides guidance and answers for practice with transforming sentences between active and passive forms.
Who wants to be a million?
The document lists a series of numbers descending from 1,000,000 to 100. It also contains instructions and questions related to verb tenses and parts of speech with multiple choice answer options.
5th grader comparative and superlative
This document outlines the rules and structure of a trivia game show called "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?". It shows a prize structure starting at $1,000,000 and decreasing amounts for lower grade level questions. Examples of trivia questions are provided from grades 5th through 1st, covering topics like rivers, animals, countries and more. The document builds up to a final $1,000,000 question but does not provide that question or answer.
Instructed second-language r. ellis
This document provides a literature review on instructed second language acquisition commissioned by the New Zealand Ministry of Education. It examines theories and research on effective pedagogical approaches for teaching a second language in a classroom setting. The review is divided into three main sections:
1) It discusses three general approaches to language teaching - oral-situational, notional-functional, and task-based - and the learning theories that inform them.
2) It considers empirical studies on various classroom language teaching techniques and their effectiveness.
3) It proposes ten general principles for successful instructed language learning based on the theories and research.
The importance of reading on teaching and learning
The document discusses the importance of reading for learning English. It outlines some problems that Vietnamese students face, such as an exam-focused education system and reliance on teachers. The document then defines reading as the interaction between text and a reader's skills and knowledge. It describes two types of reading: intensive reading, which involves carefully understanding details, and extensive reading, which focuses on pleasure and information over speed. Extensive reading is argued to be important for developing taste for the language and building background knowledge to support other skills like writing.
The influence of age on sla in terms of route
The document discusses the effects of age on second language acquisition in terms of route, rate, and success. It reviews literature showing both younger and older learners can achieve success but in different ways. Younger learners progress more slowly at first but may achieve higher proficiency in the long run, while older learners progress faster initially but rarely reach native-like levels. The critical period hypothesis suggests language acquisition is easier for children, though older learners have cognitive advantages. Teachers should consider learners' ages and provide appropriate instruction and support.
Table of content
The document provides details about the placement test for newly admitted students at HCMC Industry and Trade College in 2010. It includes sections on the purpose of the test, test taker characteristics, test task types, test structure, administration requirements, scoring methods, and appendices with additional materials. The test is designed to accurately assess students' English proficiency levels in order to place them in appropriate classes. It evaluates speaking, writing, and listening skills through interactive tasks that aim to authentically replicate language use. Detailed criteria, materials, and procedures ensure the test is reliable, valid, and practical for its intended purpose.

Placement test
The document discusses a placement test being administered to 500 newly admitted students at HCMC Industry and Trade College. It notes students come from different backgrounds and English proficiency levels vary greatly. The test aims to properly place students into appropriate English courses. A placement test is important for students, teachers and the school. It allows students to be challenged at their level, helps teachers design suitable lessons, and improves the school's educational quality overall. The document also provides details on test takers, their expected English knowledge, and common test task types.
Culture
The document discusses traditions and foods associated with bringing good luck in the new year in several cultures around the world. In Spain, people eat twelve grapes with each chime at midnight on New Year's Eve for good luck in each month of the new year. In Japan, people eat osechi-ryori, a traditional New Year's dish that is believed to bring good health, happiness, and longevity. In southern Vietnam, a five-fruit tray is displayed to wish for happiness, good fortune, and good health in the new year.
Listening comprehension
The document describes different types of tests that can be used to assess listening comprehension skills. It discusses tests of phoneme discrimination, stress and intonation recognition, comprehension of short statements and dialogues, and understanding of talks and lectures. It provides examples of each test type and considerations for developing listening comprehension assessments.
Writing test
The document discusses various methods for testing writing skills, including composition writing, grading compositions, and objective tests of mechanics and punctuation. It covers testing at basic, intermediate, and advanced levels. It also addresses considerations in designing writing tests, such as providing realistic topics, setting the composition, and treating written errors in scoring. Different types of controlled writing are proposed, including using notes, completing sentences, rewriting paragraphs, and forming paragraphs from sentences.
The lexical approach
The document discusses "The Lexical Approach" proposed by Michael Lewis in 1993. It focuses on developing learner proficiency with lexis (words and phrases) rather than grammar. The key aspects covered include: types of lexis like chunks, collocations, idioms; principles like observing language use; considerations for designing lexical approach-based classes like objectives, syllabus, teacher/learner roles, materials; procedures involving noticing patterns and recording collocations; implications for providing input and practice opportunities; and concluding that it is still being developed as a full methodology.
