Some Measures to Manage English Teaching Activities at Pakse Pedagogical College
Having a good English learning method will help students achieve high results in their studies. The Board of Directors directs the English department to organize extracurricular activities to convey to students current English learning methods, helping them know how to study to achieve better results. Lecturers create conditions and help students know how to organize their learning activities in accordance with their own abilities as well as the lecturer's teaching methods.
To learn English well, students need to have a self-study method that is suitable for their learning conditions. The school board, the department and the English lecturer need to help students understand the core issues of the self-study method of a foreign language. The lecturer is the one who guides students in self-study methods, helping them grasp the necessary issues in the process of learning English.
Developing students' ability to self-study English is a long-term process that requires students' efforts and the guidance and assistance of teachers. In class, students must concentrate and listen carefully to teachers.
Lecturers should be able to raise questions and issues that they do not understand for teachers to answer, and work with teachers to develop lessons. Each lecturer must strive to be a true example of ethics, creativity, and self-study for students to follow.
Self-study time at home is also very important. This is when students have more time to think, delve deeper into the problem, continue to ask questions for teachers to answer, and connect and apply them to real life.
In developing students' self-study ability, it is also necessary to pay attention to group study activities because in these activities students will receive support and help from friends and thereby promote their self-study ability.
