Finally, summary.

HCMC University of Technology and Education in my opinion is a good University in Vietnam, it may be because it is my first visit to Vietnam and just stay in HCMUTE for my teaching practicum. Students of this university are great, they can welcome new people very well with their diversity. While, This University has good management how to handle all exchange students that is giving the best service to what student’s need and accommodation. My teaching practicum here runs really well, with a great team and incredible supervisor who guided me for everything in my teaching practicum. Such an honor for me to learn more about to be a good teacher in this university. What I want for the next time is that, I hope there will be next batch from my home university to have the teaching practicum again in HCMUTE, and I hope they will do so much better than me.

Teaching Practicum starts

First of all, here I have my teaching practicum schedule;

DATE	TEACHING CONTENT
March 11th 2019	ESP : Recruitment, Selection, And Training Of Workers – Unit 8
March 12th 2019	GE3 : Four corners 3 – Unit 10A
March 18th 2019	GE : Four Corners 3 – Unit 10B

            I have three times of teaching, 2 for General English and 1 for ESP. The teaching activity has been shown before this article on a lesson plan. I conducted many activities for every subject, which has been consulted to my own supervisor, Ms. Le Thi Thanh Ha who has already guided me since the first I start the process of my PPL in HCMUTE. Also, she always give me very good and clear feedback on my teaching practicum. Such as;

My supervisor said that, I am confidence enough to teach students, but sometimes I am too thigh and have too serious facial expression which can make students uncomfortable.  I couldn’t give clear instruction for students to do the activity in the class, however it really influences the teaching and learning process.  My supervisor also says that I have loud voice which can be categorized as the strength, and it can be used to attract student’s attention to listen and see teacher explanations. Then, many things that should be improved from my teaching performance is that on how I can give clear instructions for students to do their activity and keep smiling to face students.  Also, the way how to check students understanding should be improved by always practicing to make questions for students to answer. This is really important to know and make sure that all students have understood what is asked by teacher for students to do. Sometimes, providing situations is really important to help students to understand new vocabularies, which in this part a teacher should be master in explaining the situation of each words with easy way. At last, the important thing that should be improved is that how to always elicit answer from students by asking some questions that should be prepared before coming to the class.  

Have a Good Plan

10th of April 2019

Before conducting the teaching practice, the first thing that I do is observation. Observation is activity to observe something to know the situation in that place. In this activity, I observe some teachers and student teacher. Every teacher has their own style in teaching the students. By doing observation, I can know the best way to teach students, (manage the class, using appropriate method, giving feedback, reinforcement, and use appropriate instructional media), know some characteristics of the students, (what they need and what they do not need), and the environment in the class. I can learn so much from this observation. Next is making lesson plan. Lesson plan is very important in teaching. Lesson plan is used as reference to carry out teaching activities to be more focused, run effectively and efficiently. In other words, the lesson plan acts as a scenario for the teaching process. In lesson plan there are several things that very important, such as the objectives of lesson plan, the method that will be used, and the teaching aids. The lesson plan can also help the teacher if the teacher forgets the activities and for students it will make them able to understand all of the lesson. Before I make lesson plan, I have to understand the lesson first and after that try to make the plan for the teaching. From the observation, I can know the students’ characteristic. So that I can choose the best method for students and also use appropriate instructional media. Next is instructional media. This media refers to the power point with the audio. Before teach students, I make the teaching materials and also with the power point. I make the teaching materials as simple as possible and put on ppt. Using power point in teaching will make students easier to understand about the lesson and also easier for the teacher to explain the material. The audio will help students in listening practice. Next is mental. I prepared the mental because this is my first time in teaching English for foreign students. The last is prepared the rewards for the students. This reward will be used as thing to make students more active than before. In other words, will increase their activeness.
Here I try to show you how my lesson plan performance is;

Foreign Language Faculty

2nd of April 2019

In HCMUTE I have my teaching practicum in the Foreign Language Faculty especially in General English and English for Specific Purposes Classes. The Faculty of Foreign Languages (FFL) used to be a Department of Foreign Languages subordinated to the Faculty of Basic Science. In 2007, the Department of Foreign Languages was separated and officially operated independently from its former faculty. Nowadays, the FFL is in charge of delivering a bachelor’s program in Technical English Education and English Language Studies. Within the common trend of regional and international integration, English has assumed an ever more important role in a multilingual and multicultural working environment. The Technical English Education and English Language Studies programs delivered by FFL aims to provide the labor market with white collar workers, knowledgeable about ESP, and able to work in industrial parks, export-processing zones, companies, factories and plants, as well as for foreign offices, international and non- governmental organizations, where English is required.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Education and Technology

30th of March 2019

After having campus tour and several days to know Ho Chi Minh University of Education and Technology, I got more informations about the campus that will be the place for me to have the teaching practicum for a month. So, here is the detail information about HCMUTE, or we can say as the school profile.

Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE) is the first institution in Vietnam that educates, trains and creates the workforce of technical teachers for the country. Through time, the university’s name has been changed several times due to integration with other schools or its own promotion.

The university originated from the Technical Education College Department subordinate to the Phu Tho School of Technology, founded on October 5th, 1962, then was renamed Nguyen Truong To Technical Education College Center of Thu Duc in 1972. Two years later in 1974, it was upgraded to Thu Duc College of Education. On October 27th, 1976, the institute was renamed Thu Duc University of Technical Education in accordance with a decision of the Prime Minister of the People’s Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam). After merging with the adjacent Thu Duc Industrial High School in 1984 and further merging with Technical Education School V in 1991, the school was renamed Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education. In 1995, the university incorporated with National University Ho Chi Minh City as an unofficial member. In 2000, the school separated from the National University to become a member under supervision of the Ministry of Education and Training, and our school’s name was restored and has been HCMC University of Technology and Education since.

Nowadays, the main campus of the university is located at 01, Vo Van Ngan street, Linh Chieu Ward, Thu Duc District, about 10 km North-East from downtown of Ho Chi Minh City. With favorable position, convenient transportation system, spacious and well- equipped study environment, HCMUTE is highly advantageous compared to the other universities.
