Câu 1: Why did you choose your proposed course and institution*? 59 ky tu
Having graduated from a university in Hanoi, I have had many job opportunities in this city. However, I have chosen to work in Lao Cai, a mountainous province in northwestern Vietnam, to help ethnic minority students to use English in tourism. I think pursuing my major will help me to improve my students’ English communication with foreigners visiting Lao Cai.
I choose a Master’s in Education at La Trope university because it will help me explore techniques and methodologies used to teach language in different classes and different purposes. In fact, when I initially began teaching, I felt quite helpless in how to make my students love English, so I decided to find the answer. That process has helped me to better understand the culture, customs and psychology of ethnic minority students, understand: why many teachers, including myself, go to encourage students to return to school and to explain, why students go to school without a career orientation. I taught them not only English but also the skill of determining their goals for the future. I think I have learned and taught a subject, English, that is considered modern in Vietnam, but what I have been doing is not effective in delivering that modernity to my students’ lives. I want to let students know that English opens many job opportunities. I want to set myself as an example to show them that what they have is special, something that others do not have.
I have also had the opportunity to learn how to design curriculums and optimize positive learning outcomes inclusive of the needs of ethnic minority students. I want to build an English program for ethnic minority students to serve tourism development ; I want to energize my school and create a legacy. 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 were over 4.2 million tourists, including 700,000 international tourist arrivals in Lao Cai) and English is essential to meet the province’s human resource development strategy by 2030.
