E. Training in testing and evaluating English subjects Purpose and significance:

Testing and evaluating learners after a teaching and learning process will help teachers evaluate the amount of knowledge and the level of reception that they have imparted to them through pedagogical methods and skills. At the same time, teachers also draw experiences that need to be adjusted or promoted in their own knowledge and teaching methods; through those tests and evaluations, learners will know what level they are at and how much knowledge they need to achieve.

The testing and evaluation of English teachers must be innovated to meet the goals, content and programs of general education. Moreover, testing and evaluation must also be consistent and consistent with the innovation of English teaching methods. Therefore, managing teacher training activities on testing and evaluation methods of English is an indispensable task in educational management.

Content:

Similar to managing teacher training on innovative teaching methods, managers need to organize teacher training activities on innovative testing and assessment methods for English in high schools.

Regarding testing and evaluating students' learning outcomes: to ensure that students' learning outcomes meet the requirements of the orientation, goals, and output content of the pilot program, the Ministry and the Department of Education and Training provide guidance on the implementation of regular and periodic testing and evaluation.

Implementing organization:

Organize intensive training courses: to equip English teachers with general knowledge about innovation in assessment methods and techniques.

Prepare tests to ensure that they are appropriate to the objectives and content of the test and are suitable for the school's students. Managers must plan to train English teachers according to specific assessment and testing topics. If only English teachers are interested in training them to improve their language skills and teaching methods without paying attention to assessment and testing methods, the school's foreign language teaching results will be inconsistent and incomplete. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a plan and arrange time reasonably so that English teachers can participate in training topics to develop and improve their individual assessment and testing skills.

Managing self-training and training in professional groups and teams: This is one of the most important activities for each English teacher to self-train and update their knowledge.

The school checks the quality of innovation in testing and evaluation methods of English teachers through class observation, classroom visits, lesson preparation, test results, and student exams; testing is carried out in many forms, directly or indirectly.

Professional inspection and examination work needs to be innovated in the direction of focusing on the detection function to prevent, adjust, and advise English teachers rather than just focusing on finding errors in coordination between groups and functional departments.

Check the quality of lesson plans, teaching plans, supplementary materials, and periodic tests. By regularly investing in perfecting and improving lesson plans, updating knowledge and reference materials, and supplementary materials, English teachers will be able to apply theories and pedagogical methods to design and compile lesson plans, advanced elective lessons, and conduct high-quality and practically effective lectures.

The school checks the progress of English teachers in implementing the program, compares it with the personal plan, teaching log, and lesson log to avoid the phenomenon of teachers teaching, testing and evaluating students incorrectly. In particular, the management of lesson logs and lesson logs requires the principal to record comments and sign the lesson log after a week of study and review the program progress of each class and the progress of English teachers.

He carries out the process of testing and evaluating students.

Checking the assessment and classification of English teachers for students through teaching innovation: the forms of testing need to help teachers properly implement the testing regime and scoring regime according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Content:

Through observation and practical research, it is shown that some English teachers are still chasing after achievements, only focusing on reviewing content related to graduation exams, entrance exams or teaching to finish according to the program distribution, forgetting the main goal of teaching and learning foreign languages. Education managers need to organize cultural and political training, enhance understanding of the tasks of the education sector, of the locality, of the school and the tasks of the subject for teachers to achieve the proposed educational goals, specifically in the following contents:

Evaluate and select materials that are likely to arouse students' interest or enhance their understanding of Vietnamese and English-speaking cultures (e.g., facts, data, attitudes, identities, cultural exchanges, etc.)

Evaluate, select and design materials or activities to help students become aware of the similarities and differences between Vietnamese culture and the cultures of English-speaking countries. Evaluate, select and design literary and socio-cultural materials to

teach language or content.

Update the economic, political, cultural and social situation in the country and the world so that teachers can have more rich background knowledge in practice, then apply that knowledge to lectures and pedagogical situations.

Implementing organization:

Education managers organize professional training combined with parallel cultural and political classes, invite experts to teach or organize research and study in groups and professional groups on the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's policies related to education. Invite experts to talk about current events on the economic, political, cultural and social situation in the country and the world so that teachers can gain more rich background knowledge in practice, then apply that knowledge to lectures, pedagogical situations, give examples in English communication sentences, create interest and appeal to students or in lessons providing knowledge about culture and cultural exchange.

Managers must create conditions for teachers to read and study on their own to improve their political and social knowledge, provide current information about domestic and international situations, issues directly or indirectly related to and affecting education, such as ordering newspapers and magazines, providing Internet access, supplementary materials, training, etc.

Guide teachers to apply cultural topics in English textbooks; analyze cultural content included in textbook programs; design sample activities to integrate the above cultural content into English teaching and learning activities; select and evaluate documents and activities outside of textbooks with cultural content to apply in teaching and learning practice; use rich cultural materials; use culturally related games in class; use the Internet as a resource; encourage learners to research culture; apply cultural knowledge to build understanding and empathy; explain cultural misunderstandings; analyze and compare cultures;
