Managing Teaching Activities of Literature Subject Integrated with Elegance and Civilized Lifestyle Education

In the current process of innovation and integration of the country, the basic task of general education is to train new people, workers with knowledge, practical capacity, autonomy, dynamism, creativity, ready to participate in production labor. To carry out that task, the Ministry of Education and Training advocates synchronous innovation of goals, content, methods, forms of teaching and learning organization and testing and evaluation; linking education in schools with real life; contributing to the formation of students' ability to solve practical problems. That is the task of integrated teaching in schools.

Since ancient times, our ancestors have said "First learn etiquette, then learn literature" as the foundation for moral education of students and people. Reality shows that teacher Chu Van An has influenced his students with his own morality and the students have done righteous deeds for the sake of "righteousness" towards their teachers, which will be passed down forever. However, to preserve the word " righteousness " is really a concern. Nowadays, most parents still have the idea of how their children can have a lot of knowledge, send them to extra classes in order to get into prestigious schools, later on go to university, have a stable job, but pay little attention to the morality and cultural lifestyle of their children. Therefore, students still violate school rules, all actions, deeds, speech, and behavior are sometimes inappropriate and lacking in culture. Whose responsibility is this? The family, the school or society? Obviously, the responsibility belongs to all. But the greatest responsibility belongs to the school, the great responsibility of integrating cultural lifestyle education for students through Literature lessons that other subjects rarely have. Because "Literature is anthropology", studying literature is learning how to be human. Indeed, each of us, everyone, must study to acquire knowledge and to be human. Literature is the golden key to open up compassion in the soul, develop good personality. Therefore, a Literature teacher not only teaches literary knowledge, perceives the values of truth - goodness - beauty, but also teaches how to be human, especially how to be cultured. However, talking about the cultural lifestyle of students today, there are still many issues to worry about.

Therefore, integrating cultural lifestyle education in general teaching and in Literature teaching in particular is extremely necessary and regular, but it cannot be done overnight, we must determine this work according to the motto "slow and steady wins the race". However, when integrating, teachers must ensure naturalness, avoid dogmatism, dry teaching will not promote the effectiveness of education.

Uncle Ho once said: " If you have virtue but no talent, it will be difficult to do anything, but if you have talent but no virtue, you will not be able to do anything ." Because the goal is to train future owners of the country who are both talented and virtuous, knowledgeable and cultural, contributing to building a more civilized and modern country. That depends largely on each of us teachers.

It can be understood that managing teaching activities of Literature is to organize reasonably the activities of teachers and students in teaching, to influence teachers and students to achieve the requirements of Literature. At the same time, managing teaching activities of Literature also has specific characteristics originating from Literature as presented as a special subject in schools. Managing teachers to implement the objectives and content of the subject is not only managing teachers to distribute the program but also to control the impact of Literature teachers in the process of forming students' personalities. Therefore, the principal does not only stop at administrative management measures but also needs to use other management measures to help Literature teachers implement the objectives and content of the subject.

Managing program content and teaching methods is managing teachers to implement program content according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, applying teaching methods in teaching. Currently, managers often focus on directing teachers to implement some new methods in teaching. With the characteristics of the Literature subject, directing the implementation of new methods in teaching cannot be separated from improving the management capacity of managers themselves and the professional capacity of the teaching staff; not only managing teaching hours in class but also managing self-improvement activities of Literature teachers; not simply managing teachers to apply some new methods in Literature teaching but also managing teachers to be able to flexibly combine new teaching methods with traditional teaching methods; in which there are traditional teaching methods that have been almost completely denied in other subjects but are still considered typical of Literature teaching methods (presentation method).

Managing the use of means and equipment for teaching activities of Literature includes both activities of managing teaching means and equipment in general and attaching importance to management measures so that the use of means and equipment in teaching activities of Literature is most appropriate and effective. Managing the use of means and equipment for teaching includes managing the use of textbooks, reference materials and modern teaching equipment. However, if in some other subjects, the use of projection devices or teaching means in teaching hours is often not limited in frequency of use, the characteristics of teaching Literature make the use of too much or too little equipment in Literature hours affect the effectiveness of Literature hours. Besides, the application of IT also brings special effectiveness in Literature hours, which are lessons rich in imagery, so managing the application of information technology in teaching Literature has a very important meaning.

Managing innovative assessment activities in teaching Literature clearly shows the specificity of managing literature teaching activities in schools. Assessment in many subjects, especially natural sciences, is easy to achieve accuracy, objectivity, and fairness, so innovation in assessment forms is also easy to apply, and managing innovative assessment activities in many subjects is therefore easy to implement, not only managing the form but also managing the content and quality of the innovation. Meanwhile, as a social science subject, with its high figurative and expressive characteristics, assessment in teaching Literature is heavily subjective; it is difficult to achieve accuracy, objectivity, and fairness. Innovation in assessment needs to be considered in each specific content (for example, most subjects can switch to testing entirely using objective multiple choice tests, but literature cannot). Obviously, managing innovative testing and assessment activities in Literature teaching activities encounters more difficulties.

Managing teachers' self-improvement activities and students' self-study activities in teaching Literature is one of the important factors to improve the effectiveness of teaching Literature. Managing teachers' self-improvement activities and students' self-study activities needs to be planned, so that teachers' self-improvement activities become self-improvement and students' self-study activities reach the goal of students being the center of the teaching process.

Thus, the management of teaching activities in Literature in schools has both the general characteristics of teaching activities management and the specific characteristics of the management of Literature.

1.5.2.2. Managing teaching activities of Literature integrated with education on elegant and civilized lifestyle in secondary schools

Mentioning Hanoians is mentioning civilized and elegant features, from gestures, speech, behavior style... However, due to the impacts of current economic life, many subtle cultural features of Hanoians are gradually fading away, especially among the young generation. In order to contribute to preserving and promoting the cultural identity and traditions of the Capital, educating students to be proud of Thang Long - Hanoi.

Education on the elegant and civilized lifestyle of Hanoians is not a separate subject but only an approach to the subject. Therefore, when integrating and incorporating the content of education on the elegant and civilized lifestyle of Hanoians into the teaching of Literature, the following principles must always be followed:

- Only integrate with articles that have content truly related to the elegant and civilized lifestyle of Hanoi people. Integrated content must ensure accuracy.

- Ensure the characteristics of the subject, do not turn Literature class into a purely civilized and elegant lifestyle education class. This means that Literature class must be Literature class, Vietnamese class must be Vietnamese class, Writing class must be Writing class in its true sense.

- Ensure basic knowledge and logic of lesson content, do not overload the amount of knowledge and increase the lesson time. The examples and educational content of elegant and civilized lifestyle given by the teacher need to be concise, attractive, and attract the attention of students.

- Create interest in students by integrating the elegant and civilized lifestyle of Hanoi people.

The integration of educational content on the elegant and civilized cultural lifestyle of Hanoi people is shown at three levels:

Total level: The objectives and content of the lesson are completely consistent with the objectives and content of education on the elegant and civilized cultural lifestyle of Hanoi people.

Partial level: Only a part of the lesson has the goal and content of educating the elegant and civilized cultural lifestyle of Hanoi people.

Level of contact: There are conditions for logical, direct contact such as visiting festivals or the Museum of Ethnology, Museum of History, Hanoi Museum.

In addition, managers also need to manage students' learning activities.

1.5.3. Factors affecting the management of teaching Literature integrated with education on elegant and civilized lifestyle in junior high schools

Social circumstances affect the management of teaching Literature in secondary schools in both positive and negative directions. The position of social sciences is increasingly necessary in modern social life. However, in the context of a country's economy that is beginning to develop, workers in the social sector often have difficulty finding jobs and have to receive much lower salaries than workers in the manufacturing and service sectors, leading to students moving away from social sciences, including Literature. In addition, when socio-economic life has many changes, young people and students are experiencing many positive and negative changes, the downside of the market economy and the information explosion, with a lot of unhealthy information is strongly affecting life, causing the young generation to have many manifestations of distorted perception and live far from traditional moral values.

The psychological characteristics of middle school students have special features that make this period called: "difficult age", "crisis age"... Middle school students begin to develop strongly physically but do not have enough conditions to develop comprehensively in intelligence and morality. Meanwhile, middle school level begins to require students to study with high intensity. That leads to contradictions in students' attitudes and interest in studying. To overcome that contradiction, it is required that subjects in middle school must be linked to life and create interest for students. This is one of the factors that strongly influence the teaching of literature and the management of literature teaching activities in middle school.

The team of teachers teaching Literature has a great influence on the quality of Literature teaching. Literature teachers in secondary schools are those who are trained in professional and pedagogical skills. However, although their degrees are equivalent, the professional level of teachers is not equal. This greatly affects the teaching of Literature, which is a subject that requires the interest of both teachers and students. Teaching Literature is not only teaching knowledge, but teachers also have the task of orienting emotions, feelings, and vibrations; it requires the literary qualities of both teachers and students. Teachers are not only teachers but also literary critics. Literature teachers are the link between the work and students, the ones who create conditions for students to actively absorb the work, not the ones who impose knowledge on students. Along with that, each teacher must first of all be an example of civilized elegance. The lectures need to be diverse, attractive and provide more stories, images of old Hanoi as well as updated images of the current situation of Hanoi so that students can easily compare and comment. Therefore, this activity also requires a positive change in the discipline and working style of the staff and teachers in the school. Management of Literature teaching in schools needs to pay attention to the special factor of the teacher.
