been increasingly adopted as a pedagogical approach in language classrooms Project-based learning emphasizes studentcentered and collaborative learning, thereby promoting students' autonomy and independence in their learning process Third, the study contributes to the existing literature on project-based learning and creativity in language education by showcasing the applicability of experienced activities in promoting students' creativity and problem-solving skills By identifying the challenges and opportunities of incorporating experienced activities in project sections in English 10, the study provides practical recommendations for teachers on how to effectively organize educational collective activities through creative experience activities Overall, the topic of enhancing students' creativity through experienced activities in project sections in English 10 is new and contributes to language education research by emphasizing the potential benefits of project-based learning and experienced activities in promoting students' creativity and problem-solving skills PART II THE CONTENT OF THE METHOD Theoretical basis 1.1 The definition of projects based learning (PBL) and creative experience activities Project-based learning (PBL) is an instructional approach that emphasizes student-centered and collaborative learning through the completion of projects that require critical thinking, problem-solving, and real-world application In PBL, students work in teams to investigate and respond to complex questions, problems, or challenges, often resulting in a product, presentation, or performance that demonstrates their learning Creative experience activities are educational activities that focus on experiential and creative learning These activities involve hands-on and interactive experiences that allow students to apply their knowledge in a practical context and promote creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills Creative experience activities can take various forms, such as games, simulations, role-playing, experiments, and projects The goal of these activities is to enhance students' engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes by providing opportunities for them to explore and discover new concepts in a creative and experiential way 1.2 Forms of creative experience activities There are several forms of creative experience activities that teachers can use to enhance students' engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes Here are some examples: *Games: Games are an excellent way to introduce new concepts or reinforce existing knowledge Teachers can use various games, such as puzzles, crosswords, quizzes, or board games, to encourage students' participation and foster a competitive spirit *Simulations: Simulations involve creating a real-life scenario where students act out different roles and interact with each other to solve a problem or achieve a goal Simulations provide a hands-on and immersive experience that allows students to apply their knowledge in a practical context *Role-playing: Role-playing involves students assuming different roles and acting out a scenario or a story Role-playing encourages creativity, imagination, and empathy and helps students develop their communication and interpersonal skills *Experiments: Experiments involve conducting a scientific investigation to test a hypothesis or answer a question Experiments provide a practical and interactive experience that allows students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills *Projects: Projects involve students working on a long-term assignment that requires research, analysis, and creativity to produce a final product or presentation Projects provide opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and skills in a practical context and develop their time management and project management skills *Field trips: Field trips involve taking students to a different location outside the classroom, such as a museum, park, or historical site, to provide a hands-on and immersive experience that connects to the curriculum Field trips provide opportunities for students to observe, explore, and discover new concepts in a reallife context Overall, creative experience activities provide students with opportunities to engage with the curriculum in a more experiential and interactive way, promoting creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills Current situation of problems before applying measures In recent years, the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An province and the Department of Education and Training of Dien Chau district have paid great attention to innovating teaching methods and improving the quality of students The education sector always periodically organizes good exams for teachers, district and provincial competitions for students, and online English Olympiads Every year, the Department of Education and Training has conducted school inspections to advise and promote teachers to innovate teaching methods, check their active learning, organize seminars on improving the quality of teaching and learning At the same time, it is also the main issue in council meetings, conferences, seminars in professional groups Improving the quality of students needs to innovate methods, focus on how to guide students to self-study, explore and create Organizing creative experiences demonstrates that Although English teachers in general have made joint efforts to change the situation of English learning in Vietnam, especially improving speaking and presentation skills for High school students However, reality shows that there are many students who are not confident in communicating, not know how to present their views or speak on topic Most students within the High school from 15 to 18 years old are very bad at speaking and communicating skills On the other hand, teachers have not yet known how to organize creative experiences effectively with different topics and use them in the most effective way To elicit the necessity of the study, I have carried out the survey on 10 graders at Dien Chau High School Here are the result of the survey How confident are you in your ability to be creative in English language learning? a Not at all confident b Slightly confident c Moderately confident d Confident e Very confident How confident are you in your ability to be creative in English language learning? Not at all confident Slightly confident Confident Very confident Moderately confident The pie chart shows the distribution of responses to the question, "How confident are you in your ability to be creative in English language learning?" from a survey of 10th graders at a particular high school The chart has five sections, each representing a response option The largest section, representing "Not at all confident," takes up 40% of the chart The second largest section, representing "Slightly confident," takes up 30% of the chart The section representing "Moderately confident" takes up 20% of the chart The sections representing "Confident" and "Very confident" each take up 5% of the chart Overall, the chart shows that a significant proportion of the students surveyed are not confident in their ability to be creative in English language learning, with only a small minority expressing high levels of confidence - Here are the result of the pre-test to assess the English level of class 10C1 at Dien Chau High School Class Excellent Good Average Bellow average size SL % SL % SL % SL % 45 11% 13 29% 22 49% 11 % Table 2: For students Solutions to discuss Degree In your opinion, is it really Not Less necessary to conduct the study: urgent urgent 0/563 13/563 Urgent Very urgent 100/563 450/563 enhancing students’ creativity through experienced activities in project section in english 10?

Conclusion Based on the findings reported in the research paper "Enhancing Students' Creativity through Experienced Activities in Project Section in English 10," it can be concluded that project-based learning on different topics can stimulate motivation in students studying English The use of project work can make language use in the class more real and active, maintain students' attention, and make the learning process more exciting These kinds of activities can improve students' communicative, cooperative, and creative skills, and create a positive atmosphere for learners to converse with each other The study found that more students prefer learning English through projectbased learning, and that they also think they learn better during project-based activities Additionally, project-based learning was found to increase students' motivation to study English and arouse their interest in acquiring the language Overall, these findings suggest that experienced activities in project-based learning can be effective in enhancing students' creativity and motivation in English 10, and can lead to a more engaging and productive learning experience for students Recommendations It is recommended that managing board create favorable conditions of modern facilities and equipment for English classrooms at Dien Chau High School so that students have more favorable environments in practicing skills In addition, it is necessary to support more teaching materials in English to the library so that students can practice more on weekends at school, and increase self-study time to improve the quality of output for students Within the scope of a teaching experience, the limitation of time and materials, this paper can’t fulfill all the issues related to cultural knowledge in Vietnam and other countries For further studies, some following suggestions are recommended in order to apply this research more effectively a For teachers: It is necessary that teachers should redesign the activities in the lessons so that they are suitable with students’ abilities and can motivate students in each class Apart from using these games and suggested activities in teaching projects, we would like to recommend those applied in teaching other lessons of the syllabus such as speaking, listening or writing, listening; and for other grades not only at our school but also others 25 b For students and parents: Students need to be aware of the importance of English in their real lives, from that to have more active motivation in learning the language Besides, they ought to try their best to practice the language every day, and develop other important skills such as presentation, or using modern technology, etc as well In addition, parents and family should give as much time as possible and the appropriate care for their children so that they can discover the changes of their children and adjust those timely as well as often exchange information with their teachers c For schools and management agencies: Creative experiences are so essential for students when learning the second language Therefore, there should be more activities and forums of exchanging ideas and life skill education for students to learn The activities of life skill education need implementing more scientifically and methodically 26 APPENDIX Do the survey Circle your suitable answer
