The school year 2021-2022 takes place while Covid-19 pandemic is prolonged and still complicated. In such situation, right from the beginning of the school year, the School Board has determined that online teaching is not only a temporary solution but a teaching method that needs to be approached and implemented in a serious and methodical manner.
The Teachers of the Cambridge International Primary Education Program - Sai Dong Urban Primary School always make constant efforts to build and design meticulous and thoughtful electronic lesson plans for each lesson. By such effort, teachers gradually overcome difficulties and exploiting the strengths of online teaching. The innovative lectures helped students learn and practice new knowledge smoothly and effectively.
Teachers and the Cambridge Program Operations Department have developed and conducted 2 lectures:
- Maths (English Math): Lesson: Average - performed by teacher Nguyen Hoai Thu with class...
- ESL (English): Unit 9: Looking backwards and forwards (Lesson 1.2-1.2) by teacher Trinh Lan Huong with class 4A4.
In order to deliver Mathematics in English for offline class successfully so that students can grasp, apply and practice Mathematics knowledge is already difficult, teaching this subject online is far more a challenge for both teacher and students. To overcome this obstacle, Ms. Nguyen Hoai Thu posed the problem and led the lesson in a creative and engaging way, arousing students’ interest during the class time.
