WHAT'S NEXT WITH AI?

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the Vietnamese teaching context promises a significant, dual-edged impact on pedagogy. In the near future, the primary positive shift will be the personalization of learning. AI tools can automate routine tasks like grading, lesson planning, and test generation, freeing up teachers' time. This allows Vietnamese educators, who often face heavy administrative loads, to focus on complex skills such as critical thinking, emotional guidance, and ethical development. Students will receive immediate, adaptive feedback, moving instruction beyond rote memorization towards competency-based learning. However, the near-term negative impacts are centered on equity and dependence. Rural schools often lack the necessary digital infrastructure and connectivity, exacerbating the existing digital divide. Furthermore, widespread availability of tools like ChatGPT risks fostering academic misconduct, where students over-rely on AI to complete assignments, diminishing originality and critical thought. Teachers also cite insufficient training and a lack of clear ethical guidelines, leading to hesitant and inconsistent adoption across the country. My long-term vision sees AI as a true pedagogical partner, not a replacement. In this future, the Vietnamese teacher is a "coach," leveraging AI-driven virtual labs and Digital Twin technologies to bring theoretical concepts—especially in social sciences or engineering—to life. AI platforms will provide rich, real-time data on student engagement and progress, allowing for hyper-customized curricula. The key challenge lies in establishing robust national policies and an ethical framework that prioritizes digital literacy and humanistic values, ensuring that technology serves the learner and teacher, rather than the other way around.

REFLECTION ON WEEK 2 OF ICT COURSE

Module 2 has provided me with a number of ideas on what tools should be used to search for general information, e-books and journals for my post graduate studies and my teaching jobs. In the breakout room, my classmates have shared the search engines they frequently use for their jobs. I found Bing interesting as it helps us look for information without being disturbed by commercials. I myself think pdfdrive.com is another useful site if you want to search for e-books on linguistics or English language teaching. You can download the books for free of charge. Besides, we have discussed how to apply ABCD (Audience-Behavior-Condition-Degree) objectives into our teaching context. To be honest, I didn't know much about the model and rarely applied it into my lesson plan. After the discussion, I think ABCD objectives help me understand more deeply about my students' level, the teaching situations and the outcomes they may achieve through a certain lesson. The model encourages me ...

MODULE 5 REFLECTION

The topic we have been discussing today is quite interesting. At first, we have discussed how to make a rubric for assessment. Mai Anh has shared what she usually does for her little students. She has used Rubistar to create a specific rubric for a specific lesson. I think it's amazing. Then, she has shared some other alternative assessment forms such as peer feedback, porfolios, project-based learning. She also talked about advantages and disadvantages of each kind. I also find rubric is an effective tool for assessing students. It helps both teachers and students know what should be achieved in each individual classes and how much progress they should make. Rubrics also orient students' learning and enhance their autonomy in learning. I have shared some alternative assessment tools such as formative tests, giving feedback, teaching report, learning diary, project work, ... One of the great things I have learned from the breakout room discussion that we should use different ...

MODULE 4 REFLECTION

We have discussed 2 main points in our breakout room: some recommended websites used for classroom activities and technology-enhanced lesson plan. I have learned a lot from my teammates. Mai Anh has shared the sites she frequently uses in her classroom. The first one is https://www.raz-kids.com/. It is a comprehensive and interactive reading program that provides students with over 400 eBooks at 29 different levels of reading difficulty. This ensures that all students, regardless of their current reading level, can find materials that are both suitable and challenging for them. After reading a book, students can do quizzes that assess comprehension and help teachers to track their progress.Raz-Kids is particularly useful as it facilitates differentiated instruction. Teachers can assign books that match each student's reading levels and track their progress through detailed reports. Besides, the audio narration and highlighted text of eBooks can help improve both reading fluency an...
