Trang 82.3 Teaching and learning activities
Teaching and learning activities of English linguistics are vary depend on the lecturer and also the course that students are obliged to enroll the important subject throughout the entire course, so students have the tendency to choose the date and the lecturer they want to study so that create a variety ways teach and conduct learning activities most subjects are purely theoretical that required students to carefully review the past lessons and doing homework while others required the ability to think and attend productively in class activities Lecturers usually base on the subject syllabus and the outline to design their plan for that day so if it is theoretical then a PowerPoint will be presented along with the lessons of that day
in another case if the subject is purely practice then the lecturers will flexible change the way they teach to more exercises and more time for reading the coursebook for the students Most of the time lecturers will schedule a mid-term exam and end of the course exam the ways to execute these type of exams also vary it could be a team project or it could be a small essay or it could even be a quick exam that involves knowledge in the past lessons Through this paragraph

Trang 11CHAPTER III: LANGUAGE SKILLS AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE
SKILLS 3.1 Description of the four skills listening,reading,writing,speaking according
to the textbook
The utmost reason for student to learn english is by developing and furthermore increasing the stability of four core skills in english which are
listening,speaking,reading,writing Firstly,listening is the action of capturing sound through your ear and in English listening is a way to diffrentiate the mother tongue and foreign language as a whole moreover listening will greatly improve your listening comprehensive and gradually make you become better and well-equipped.Secondly,speaking is the act of creating the sound using the mouth and parts in it in English the act of speaking will improve speaker’s vocabulary also speaker are able to interact more with the naitive and non-native English speaker also practicing speaking a dialogue will furthermore gives you the ability to talk independently.Thirdly,reading is the act of read in your mind with or without creating the sound reading through skimmming and scanning methods will help you to know the mainpoints of the paragraph also the supporting ideas as well,this skill is especially crucial when deal with long and complex reading paragraph which largely involves the ability to comprehensive,acknowledge and critical thinking in IELTS test.Last but not least writing the last important skills of all four
so writing is the act of moving your hand along the
notebook,paper,book, etc,writing is especially important when expressing your idea through word and structure alike.But unlike the other skills writing needs a much more substancial grammar foundation not just mere words,so if you want to write well you must have a good and solid grammar foundation also coherent and link between words also important

Trang 123.2 Own experience in learning these skills
Through my time studying English I have overcome some of the practical problems that lie in improving four core skills of so I personally have some advice
or perhaps some recommendations that might prove useful in the long run So we will talk about listening skill by listening I mean listen for the main point of a structure when you doing a listening test you should read thoroughly the gap and what they want you to do remember the missing words and how to spell them, then
we have reading skill I personally using the scanning and skimming method because this method allows you to quickly read the main points summarize and digest the paragraph then we will use scanning to pin point and evaluate the answers when we start doing the questions After that we have the speaking skill this typical skills causes problems because we have to speak so that we can pronounce accurately word and phrases I have one hint is that students should practice speaking ahead of the mirror also practicing speaking vowel sounds, diphthongs , …And finally the writing skill in order to improve this skill I highly recommend that you should plan in advance what you are about to write using outline method or mind-mapping also helpful for you to construct your writing in
an abstract and cohesive way
Trang 13CHAPTER IV: YOUR PLAN FOR THE COURSE
So now we will move to my plan and aspiration while studying this course, if we study the introduction to English linguistics then when studying this specific course I would like to know deeper the root of the English linguistics moreover the history of this popular language, as well so this course is quite complex and more
in theoretical aspect of English but also by attending this course we also have the ability to know more about English Language and improve our writing skill through small paragraph, also we can improve speaking skill through small presentation projects that are given to us by the lecturer that is just for the course but If broader the entire English linguistics program, I have high hope that I will achieve greater result I will study according to the semester programs that are presenter and qualified by the university and I will slowly get used to the way each subject is presented and categorized and not just study, I will also attend more activities organized by foreign languages clubs and tesc or tdmu English speaking club through these clubs I will be able to improve my English and trial by fire through various competitions
