The "Speaking and Listening" lesson in Literature class 10, Dien Hong Secondary and High School, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City took place yesterday morning, March 12, with teachers and students applying the project-based teaching method. Class 10C9 simulated a TV show searching for an excellent debate team, students in the class played the roles of MC, contestants of the two competing teams, judges, studio audience... The topic of student debate "should we use ChatGPT " was chosen by the teacher and students because it is a current issue in today's context.

Using ChatGPT is like eating a delicious meal cooked by a chef?
Candidates in the team supporting ChatGPT believe that ChatGPT has many benefits to help students study and do homework faster, better, save time, and improve learning efficiency. Visually and hearing impaired students can also be assisted by ChatGPT to read and write, thereby eliminating barriers. "ChatGPT is not an enemy but an ally for students to study smarter and better," said the group.
On the other hand, the team of candidates opposing ChatGPT said that it can support students, but in the long run, ChatGPT can make them lose the habit of creativity , only get used to copying, not researching and researching themselves, which will gradually lead to gaps in knowledge. Not to mention, ChatGPT does not always give the right answer, and can provide incorrect information. If students only rely on it, it will affect their learning results. At the same time, if when doing homework, students only know how to copy the questions and ask ChatGPT to solve them, it will gradually reduce their ability to self-study, reduce their initiative, and reduce their ability to debate.
Plagiarism also occurs when students copy their work on ChatGPT. They copy from ideas to text, so they cannot develop their skills and do not have the opportunity to practice. This leads to many students writing very well at home but cannot write in class because they do not have ChatGPT to use. "ChatGPT is like a chef who has prepared delicious dishes for students to eat," this candidate said.
Literature subject in the 2018 General Education Program helps develop learners' skills, thinking, qualities and abilities.

The debate between 10th graders was more interesting with teams asking each other questions and refuting their opponents. For example, a student who supported using ChatGPT frankly said: "The answers from ChatGPT may not be completely accurate, so students need to verify. Therefore, ChatGPT not only helps us study but also helps us verify right and wrong", and "The important thing is whether you know how to use ChatGPT correctly or not, not that you should never use it".
The other team objected: "ChatGPT causes unfairness in the school environment. Users are like "sitting back and enjoying a golden bowl". Especially with literature. Students only need to enter the topic and the content of the article is ready. Thus, students are relying too much on ChatGPT and studying becomes a matter of dealing with teachers".
The remaining group of students continued to argue: "Whether students cheat or not depends on their awareness, not on ChatGPT's fault. We encourage them to refer to, not copy, ChatGPT completely. In the context of increasing pressure on students, increasing pressure on studying and taking exams, ChatGPT can help students reduce time spent on familiar, repetitive exercises and spend more time on more difficult, advanced topics."

To summarize the lesson, Ms. Tran Yen Minh, literature teacher of class 10C9, evaluated the lesson, praising the efforts of the students in their roles from MC, contestant to judge or audience. Ms. Yen Minh advised the students: ''ChatGPT should only be a reference tool in learning, it cannot be abused to replace humans to solve math problems, write essays as well as other subjects''.
The literature class of class 10C9 was an open class. Many parents, teachers in the literature group of Dien Hong Secondary and High School, and literature teachers from high schools in cluster 3, Ho Chi Minh City attended and highly appreciated the class.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Duc, head of the literature group at Dien Hong Secondary and High School, District 10, said that open lessons are a way for the school to publicize the quality of education, helping parents better understand the 2018 General Education Program that their children are studying at school, thereby accompanying their children and the school better. According to Mr. Viet Duc, project-based learning in literature, allowing students to participate in the roles of organizing lessons, mastering lessons, and thereby developing skills, thinking, qualities and abilities of learners is also one of the goals of the 2018 General Education Program.
