Having graduated from a university in Hanoi, I have many job opportunities in a big city. However, I chose Lao Cai - a mountainous province in Northwestern Vietnam to help ethnic minority students use English in tourism, I think my major will help them improve English communication with foreigners visiting Lao Cai.
In fact, when I participated in teaching, I felt quite helpless in how to make students love English, I decided to find that answer. That process has helped me to better understand the culture, customs and psychology of ethnic minority students: why many teachers including me go to mobilize students to return schools, why students go to school without a goal or career orientation. I teach them not only English but also the goal of determining in the future. I think I have learned and taught a subject that is considered modern in Vietnam, but what I am doing is not bringing that modernity. I want to let students know that English opens many job opportunities. I want to set myself as an example to tell them that what they have is special, others do not.
I want to build an English program for ethnic students to serve tourism development, I want to turn my school up and become famous. I want my model to be replicated by the Department of Education in the whole province because I know Lao Cai is focusing on tourism development (in 2018, there are over 4.2 million tourists, including 700,000 international tourists arrivals in Lao cai) and English is essential to meet the province's human resource development strategy by 2030.
I go to this course because it helps as follows:
- explore techniques and methodologies used to teach language in different classes, and the extent to which these approaches suit different contexts and purposes of English teaching.
- Contribute to a positive environment, design curriculum and deliver top quality learning outcomes for your ethnic minority students.
- develop strategies to analyze and reflect upon human relationship issues in a contemporary work environment
- explore and examine the implications of scientific and technological advancements/changes for education
