PREFACE The purpose of this report is to explain what I did and learned during my internship period at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry (HUI). The report focuses primarily on process the English teaching practice at HUI and I realized that English language is very important for the students non - major in English language who are learning English language and that the role of English in Vietnam for natives. In addition, English has helped enhance exchange and growth, especially in higher education. Nowadays English in Vietnam becomes more important and necessary in work, English certificate is now seen as a vital requirement for employment, and each student after graduate their course, has to get English B or C degree if he or she wants to be given certificate, and English is the mainly concerned of the companies and factors during time to recruit the staff for own. It is possible to say that English is the most standard and important to the staff whose want to apply for job at a big company or at a foreign company. Furthermore, English has facilitated economic cooperation and development with an ever greater, influx of foreign investment, mostly from capitalist countries, which require English ability. The Importance of Learning the English Language nowadays: it is a key to success in our life in order to we can communicate with the people who speak it and understand more about people culture, and customs. People study English for job seeking, job promotion and study abroad and also help them to have high position and high salaries in their jobs.

In fact, English is so widely spoken and it is considered in very important tool in national development cooperation and globalization.

VII.TEACHING PRACTICE â 3 Lesson Plans â 15 Remark Forms VIII.DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED My difficulties encountered during the internship period are as follow: First of all, it was not easy for me as for my group members to find a class in order to teach practice at these classes, but some teachers did not support to us almost they thought that we did not have enough ability and confident to teach their students, they worried we would made lower the process of their teaching. Secondly, time was limited so I had to face to some difficulties when I divided time to teach: each period is only 45 minutes but the lessons were quite long it was not enough time to teach within 45 minutes. Then nearly half students in class, they felt tired and uncomfortable because before the English class began these students might finish their main class from 4 to 6 periods, that’s reason reduced attentive ability of students. Besides that, the major of these students was not English; English was a compulsory subject to them so they felt bored or not interested in studying English. Thirdly, Limitations of the school : classroom too small, number of students too important : 50 students in class cannot paid attention to my lesson and it was difficult for me to divide the class into groups so that my lessons could be effective, it was not easy to manage students like as. In addition some classrooms lacked of equipment or their equipment was not good such as plugs-in which could not be used and lacked of fan, air condition, projectors and so on. Finally, the difficulties were not based on the way I was performed here; it was that I needed some time to feel comfortable with my new environment and on my work that I never did it before. I really felt worry and nervous when I taught at the first time, my friends always support and willing to me when I taught them in my class but when I taught students in the classes such as ava1, ava2 …, students did not cooperate with me as my friends did, they made me more anxious and loose confidence when I stood in front of class. Furthermore I also lacked of experiences and communicate both of skill with students was still weak, It was not easy for an intern to completely convince students pay attention to my lesson the way lively and interesting, I also could not find the best teaching method in order to prepare and help them understand my lesson in the first time. Although, the interns were also faced with some difficulties during the internship period but my supervisors helped me so much, they spent a lot of time in order to prepare lesson plan to me and borrowed reference book to help me to teach better, besides that they have also encouraged me spiritually to help me become more confident. IX.NEW SKILLS AND INFORMATION ACHIEVED During my internship period, I have learned that a lot of useful things to myself through my senior supervisors and the members in my group helped me. At the same time, it was the first experience I had that taught me to listen to people with ideas and opinions that I had never before considered and help me to develop new ways of thinking about the same problems. Firstly, I have some teaching experiences, in process of teaching I realized that prepare lesson is very important because if I have good preparation to lesson plan I will make a good performance in front of class, and I also have known how to make students more lively and enjoyable instead of students feeling bored or not paying attention to the lesson Secondly, I know how to balance time, the ways to arrange time were right in process of lesson plan and focus on the main parts in lesson plan, the ways to choose the best teaching methods help students understand easier and focus on the main parts of the lesson. I have learnt how to contact with students and understand them, so we should talk to them before starting the lesson and if we want all students in class cooperate with us we also should give some small games in class help students to feel more interesting and enjoyable when the lesson starts such as guessing words, matching games, arranging games and so on. Besides that, I also helped me more confident and dynamic when I talk to them or the ways to handle with my students so I can control the class more easily and convenient, and I believe I have enough confidence to manage when the class becomes noisy. In process of teaching practice I have a lot of chances to communicate with students more than so I could know a few students’ psychology Furthermore, when I paid attention at some period of member’s in-group I realized once thing that I did not, I should say some funny things from the lesson to break the boring atmosphere. Over the internship, I have chanced to improve and practice my weak skills as well as my strong points help me more perfectly about myself both the knowledge and the experiences. In my opinions, I thought everyone could be study English more effective, the first thing we should make relationship between students and teachers are very important. X.REFERENCES 1.
