Theoretical and experimental experience in present environment to build up the subject - Read and study the related documents to draw good experiences to apply for my own teaching - Observe and collect information about students’ learning as well as their feelings, thoughts and opinions about family and profession - Having statistics and compare the result of study of students through tests and surveys B THE CONTENTS OF INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE I THE THEORETICAL BASIC OF THE TOPIC - According to Circular No 14/2002/ TT - BGD&DT issued on April st, 2002 to direct and thoroughly grasp innovation policy in secondary school - According to Official document No 463 / BGD&DT - GDTX issued on January 28th, 2015 to direct the deployment and realisation of life skill education in indergaten schools, secondary schools and continuing education centers - According to Official document No 3131/CT-BGDĐT issued on August th 25 , 2015 to guide the realisation of the mission of school year 2015- 2016 - According to UNICEF, life skills are defined as psychological abilities for adaptive and possitive behaviour that enables individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of every day life They are loosely grouped into three broad catergories of skills: cognitive skills for analysing and using information, personal skills for developing personal agency and managing oneself and interpersonal skills for communicating and interacting effectively with others Life skill education is a structured programme of needs-and-outcomes- based participatory learning that aims to increase positive and adaptive behaviour by assisting individuals to develop and practise psycho-social skills that minimize risk factors and maximize protective factors Life skill education programmes are theory - and evidenced - based, learner - focused, delivered by competent facilitators and approciately evaluated to ensure continuous improvement of documented results Family definited by Merriam is a group of individuals living under one roof and usually under one head (household) It is the basic unit of society and the background for every person’s life Living happily in family and building family happiness is not only the truly desire but also the responsibility of each member in it Home life is a person’s family, personal relationships, and the domestic routine and interests Family happiness is built through wonderful values of home life such as love, parents’ sacrifice for their children, children’s respect to their older generations A healthy and stable home life is built through small but practical actions in the behaviour of family members in daily activities including listening, sharing routine work, the sympathy, forgiveness and caring eachother as well as the respect of family rules Career is the job or series of jobs that you during your work life, especially if you continue to get better jobs and earn more money To orient career well, students must know to self - evaluate themselves depending on what they are living and working with but what they want Education of necessary skills in home life and career orientation belongs to skill groups of giving decision, communication, co-living and resolving situations, skills to love and respect others These skills provide students with a good background of personality, help them to be confident and live better in the future From that, they determine the right motivation and attitude for studying II THE REAL STATE OF TOPIC Advantages - The rapid development of science, technology, mass media gives students opportunities to acquaint with and widen the social knowledge, including family and profession aspects - Students are active and creative people, so they find it easy to comprehend and apply basic knowledge relating to daily life into their real life Disadvantages - Because of the bad influence of market economy as well as globalising trend, especially the unserious attitude in learning and the self-indulgence in lifestyle, the thought of enjoyment, being addicted to game online, etc, many students neglect right motivation, nice dreams and ambitions - Rushing to Europeanizing way of living leads many students to disregard the good values of family and society - The educational content of the topic is a intergrating activity, so the time for discussing and understanding the values and the essences of life skills in home life and career orienting skills is short - There has not been any teacher in my school who is professionally trained about life skill education The results of the real state of topic In fact, Due to the defying good cultural, moral values, some groups of students are in state of moral depression, faint ideals, the shortage of ambition and striving awareness for future Some students are induced to social evils They no longer respect their parents, their teachers and friends In some families, parents are busy working and earning for life’s demands The care and management of children are not warm and strict enough.That is why many students don’t feel the deep meanings of family and precious values of fresh life From the last academic years, especially in the school year 2017 - 2018 I was distributed to teach students in grades 12A1, 12A10 Through teaching process I have realised that the lack of responsibility and necessary skills in home life and career orientation created for students so many difficult problems that they felt difficult to face or deal with Instead, they rushed to “virtual lifestyle” and this interfered with learning results and ethnical training Table The learning result in grades 12A1, 12A10 in the school year 2017 – 2018 Grade Number Verygood Good average Weak of quantity % quantity % quantity % quantity % students 12A1 45 0 14 31,12 29 64,44 4,44 12A10 44 0 11 25,0 30 68,18 6,82 Table The result of ethnical training * ( Qty: Quantity) Grade Number Very good good of Qty % Qty % students 12A1 45 38 84,44 11,12 12A10 44 37 84,09 9,1 average Qty % 2 4,44 4,54 Weak Qty % 2,27 Table shows that students’ learning result is not good There isn’t any very good student The number of students who have average and weak result are high Few students get good result Table shows that the result of conduct training is not very high There are still students who have weak conduct That means many students break school discipline and not have right awareness in learning and moral training From the reality, I find that one of the main causes affecting on above result is the shortage of warm feelings in home life and professional aspiration Many students find it difficult to deal with situations happening in home life and feel confused in choosing a suitable job in future In the school year 2017 - 2018, I also had a research about students’attitude to their family and their future career orientation in two classes and followings are the result Table Students’attitude to their family Grade 12A1 12A10 Number of students 45 44 Feel happy Having some problems Having so many problems Quantity % quantity % quantity 20 44,44 14 31,12 11 18 40,91 11 25 15 % 24,44 34,09 Table Students’attitude to their future career orientation Grade 12A1 12A10 Number of students 45 44 Determine clearly Wondering Haven’t known Quantity % quantity % quantity 20 44,44 16 35,56 16 36,36 18 40,91 10 % 20 22,73 Table shows that the proportion of students who feel unhappy or having problems in their home is quite high When asked about their feelings in home They usually feel lonely, bored with daily routines They find it difficult to solve situations in home life and follow family rules Many of them don’t feel their parents’love for them From my study, I find that many students only think about their aspects but their parents’ones They trend to live for themselves but are not aware of their responsibility Table shows that the proportion of students who determine their future jobs clearly is also not very high Many of them orient jobs without basing on their ability as well as their character They have trends to choose according to what they want On the contrary, the number of students who are wondering or haven’t know how to choose a suitable job are relatively high One of the main reasons which students have to face in the professional orienting process is the lack of relating skills Therefore, in the academic year 2018 – 2019, since I was assigned to teach English in grades 12A3, 12A4 I have chosen the topic “Intergrating the education of true values and essential life skills about home life and career orientation for students in grade 12 English lessons” III THE SOLUTIONS OF IMPLEMENTATION The periods applied with intergrating knowledge and activities The activities to educate students about true values of home life and career orientation as well as necessary skills in home life are intergrated through peroid 4: After you read (Unit Home life – Part A Reading) and extra practice The activities to educate students about job-orienting skills are intergrated through peroid 36: After you speak (Unit Future jobs – Part B Speaking) From the oriented contents in text book and teacher’s book as well as basing in the reality about the thought, feeling, knowledge and experience of students in daily life, in the process of guiding students to tasks and practise, I intergrate contents relating to the influences and values of family and career on one’s life Simutaneously, I provide, analyse and encourage them to grasp thoroughly the necessary skills in home life and orienting a suitable job for their life Educating students the true values of home life and career orientation UNIT HOME LIFE Peroid 4: Part A Reading (con’t – end) * The aims of the lesson By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: + Get the ideas of a happy family + Understand more about home life and the role of each member in building family happiness + Catch and use vocabulary relating home life effectively + Love and respect the values of a happy family and be aware of their own responsibilities in home life + Form possitive behaviours and suitable attitudes in home life and social relationships * Contents and tasks in the peroid -
