In that changing context, the Global Success English textbook series of Vietnam Education Publishing House in collaboration with prestigious publishers around the world is designed with a spirit of innovation, aiming to improve foreign language teaching and learning methods in general schools in Vietnam.
In particular, the program applies a focused spiral structure, allowing students to approach knowledge in a repetitive but increasingly advanced way at each level. This approach not only helps to consolidate the language foundation but also supports the development of communication skills in a flexible and effective way.
What is the solution to improve foreign language skills comprehensively?
Learning a new language is never easy for young children. Students should form the habit of communicating in the language naturally instead of translating each word in their heads. Continuous exposure to English through listening, speaking and daily practice helps children improve their language reflexes, making English a familiar part of their thinking and communication, instead of just a subject in the classroom.
Talking to reporters, Ms. Trinh Thu Mai - parent of a 4A student at the Experimental Primary School of Educational Sciences (Hanoi) said that she often encourages her primary school-age children to practice persistently to get used to English, confidently talk to foreigners, and avoid feeling discouraged and losing motivation to study.
“Following each learning, improvement and training process of my child at school, I realized that the new general education program helps students improve their vocabulary and sentences, increase their language reflexes, and improve their pronunciation skills quite quickly and progressively. The Global Success English textbook series that my child is studying at school has helped him improve his communication skills,” Ms. Thu Mai shared.
If in the past, with the old general education program, improving students' language reflexes was limited due to limited interaction ability; the orientation of the new program now has promoted more interactive activities, creating opportunities, encouraging students to be active, proactive, creative in learning, promoting the potential of each individual while participating in language and communication activities in class.
The Global Success English Textbook series contains a diverse vocabulary system that closely follows many different topics and themes for each grade. Not only within the framework of the program that students learn in class, the book also aims to expand advanced knowledge related to that topic to effectively develop language.
Students naturally become familiar with pronunciation and letters through communication situations, games, readings, simple comics or songs. In particular, in class, children are also trained in stress, intonation and rhythm in sentences to meet the increasingly high requirements for the next levels of education and international standard foreign language education.
In addition, Global Success English also integrates digital technology to bring lesson materials to Soft Book 2.0, helping students practice more anytime, anywhere. With vivid and attractive images, content that comprehensively develops 4 skills of listening - speaking - reading - writing, according to Ms. Thu Mai, this is a good solution for the learning and training process of students.
Flexible practical application curriculum
From a professional perspective on foreign language teaching, Dr. Lai Thi Phuong Thao - Vice Principal of the Foreign Language High School (University of Foreign Languages, Vietnam National University, Hanoi) said that the highlight of the new program is the focus on learners. English balances all four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, instead of focusing only on grammar and reading comprehension as before.
Accordingly, current textbooks are designed to help students use English more flexibly in daily life. Lesson structures and approaches to real language are also innovated, helping students not only acquire knowledge but also know how to apply it in practice.
An important factor is to create conditions for teachers to teach in a more proactive way, encouraging students to participate in group activities, interact in the classroom through project assignments, develop soft skills in teamwork, planning, problem solving and presentation.
The content of the lessons in English textbooks also reflects many global issues, helping students develop critical thinking. Topics such as technology, intercultural communication, environment and society are integrated into the curriculum, accompanied by open-ended questions, encouraging students to explore, learn more about the world around them, and flexibly apply them to real life.
Agreeing with the above opinion, Master Luong Quynh Trang - lecturer of the Faculty of English Pedagogy, University of Foreign Languages, Vietnam National University, Hanoi assessed that students are not only provided with language knowledge but also expand their understanding of the country, people and culture of many countries in the world, as well as the good cultural values of Vietnam through the book series compiled by the Vietnam Education Publishing House.
The book series builds learning methods and designs teaching tasks in an orientation that helps students improve their foreign language knowledge and practice important soft skills of global citizens in the current context of integration. Importantly, this approach helps form lifelong learning habits, equipping students with the necessary foundations to develop their future capabilities.
It can be said that the Global Success English textbook series is designed according to a system of topics and themes, helping students develop communication skills associated with each specific context. In particular, when information technology is being strongly exploited in the educational environment, students have access to many useful learning tools, integrated learning support platforms in the Global Success English textbooks in the Connecting knowledge with life series, providing many outstanding features, directly serving the teaching and learning needs of teachers and students.
