INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE REPORT
I. INTRODUCTION
After studying nearly four years in Hanoi Open University, I finally decided to
choose my favourite specialty which is teaching. As a result, my peers and I started to
take part in the internship course held by the English Department of Hanoi Open
university. The purpose of this report is to describe the tasks that I had completed
during an approximately 2 months internship period at Hanoi Open University.
In this course, I had an opportunity for career exploration and development. I had
learned various valuable experiences about the foundation of knowledge to become a
good teacher. There were many skills like creating lesson plans and worksheets,
communicating with students, time management in lessons, applying many efficient
technological skills in teaching an online course.
From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate and want to express my deepest thanks to
my supervisor Le Thi Anh Tuyet, M.A who is always enthusiastic and dedicated to
take care of us and give us valuable knowledge and advice during the internship
course. Finally, I want to show my gratitude to all of my friends who are always
supporting me in the whole course, and I believe that we had an amazing time
together.
I have done my study in the internship course followed by the following schedule:
Week 1:
- Read and download lesson plans for reference (from Mrs. Le Anh Tuyet);
- Read and download 2 documentaries about: “How to use the communicative
approach” and “Lesson planning”;
- Revise some teaching methods and class management skills;
- Learn how to write a lesson plan and practice;
- Prepare some lesson plans based on the sample one.
- Interns take turns to teach a 20-minutes lesson (following numerical number, the
lesson in Global Success 6);
- Other interns role-play students to support their friends; the teacher observes and
evaluates;
- All give comments (strong points and weak points).
→ After one week, I recalled the knowledge related to English teaching (how to
design a lesson plan; time management; class management). Besides, I got used
to creating Powerpoint to prepare for a 20-minute lesson plan. Moreover, I
learned many experiences from teacher’s and internships’comments; prepare
carefully all the knowledge as well as the slides before teaching (check
pronunciation, grammar, the meaning of words); the teacher should have more
communication with students by moving around the class so that students could be
aware of and focus more on the lesson. When teaching grammar, the teacher should
also give the context first and the unnecessary talking time should be eliminated
when teaching.
Week 2:
Week 3:
- The supervisor will divide the class into many groups with each group having three
interns;
- Each group will have its own pedagogical situation to tackle. The situation is
represented on slides and each group has to come up with its own solution.
- All join in the discussion between supervisor and other interns about the solutions
of the problem;
- The idea to tackle the problem will be provided after the discussion and the
supervisor as well as the other interns will choose the best and the most proper
option;
- My experience in navigating the pedagogical problems is that I have to pay more
attention to how to solve the issue in the most proper way which is not able to
affect the sensitive individual backgrounds because it can cause misunderstandings
between teacher and students. Having the trust of students by talking and sharing
the obstacles that they confront is the best way to find the connection between
students and teacher.
→ After 3 weeks, I have an opportunity to practise teaching in front of the class. I
became more and more confident and got used to speaking in front of many
people. After hearing all the comments from my supervisor and friends, I
received many experiences in teaching, paying more attention to time
management and pronunciation as well, using Vietnamese when describing
hard words. I am also awake to how to solve a hard pedagogical situation in the
most proper way.
Week 4:
Week 5:
- In this session, I had to teach a 45-minute lesson in Global success 7, Unit 5: Food
and Drink, Looking back 2 - project;
- My experience when preparing this lesson: Because I gained a lot of experience
from teaching three previous lessons, I finished everything easily and quickly.
Although I had some problems while creating games for students on slides, it did
not affect my teaching.
- My experience when teaching this lesson: My lesson focused on practising reading,
so I had to give clear instruction to all students. Besides, when teaching this lesson,
I find it hard to help students to memorise all of the new words (terminology) about
Food so I integrated more illustrations for them;
- Teacher observe and take notes strong points and weak points to give comment;
- All join in the discussion between the supervisor and other interns about the lesson.
Week 7:
Week 8:
2.3.4 Problem-solving
During the lesson, some unforeseen situation might happen, for example:
students make noise in the class and deprive the privacy from the studying
students. The teacher must be the one that needs to improve the ability to
handle the situation skillfully and gently. The gentle way the teacher tackles the
problem can make the relationship between teacher and students become closer
and also help create a positive environment in class.
2.4.3 Solving-problem
By attending the internship course at Hanoi Open University, it was a
valuable time that I earned real experience in navigating real problems. Though
I still lack the experience in solving the situations gently and skillfully, I keep
figuring out and finding the best solution for each situation. All the problems
were created by interns and teachers, not by real students in a real context.
Besides the positive and optimistic experience that I earned in this internship
course, there are still some obstacles that I confront. According to what I have
achieved, I had no chance to encounter real experience in a real situation and
students. Somehow, though teaching directly in front of students could be more
intricate compared to teaching in the internship course. Despite facing my
difficulties, I still keep striving for better performance in teaching so that I can
deliver knowledge to students as best as I can.
III. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I had an opportunity for career exploration and development due to
this internship course. I had learnt various valuable experiences about the foundation
of knowledge to become a good teacher. There were so many valuable skills that I was
able to learn like; communicating with the students, preparing the lesson plan
carefully before teaching; delivering knowledge in the most clear and understandable
way for students, time management in lessons, applying efficient technological skills
in teaching courses, etc.
Furthermore, it was such a pleasure that now I can tackle unexpected problems
during lessons and improve my qualities.
I am so obliged that I have a chance to learn and practise with teachers and other
interns which will have a good influence on my career in the future. I am aware of the
strong points and the weak points of my teaching by receiving the comments from the
whole class so that I can improve myself. Since I realised that I want to be a teacher,
this course enables me to recognise myself correctly and I suppose that it will help me
a lot in my future career.
On the other hand, though there are still some obstacles that I need to overcome like
having no chance to experience the real situation with the students, I aspire to enhance
my ability so that I can go a long way with this career with my passion and dedication.
IV. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Based on the Actual Internship Experience, I Have the Following
Recommendations to Help Improve the Program:
- The curriculum is based entirely on theory and students have no opportunity to
practise. My recommendation is to create a lesson that learns along with the
practice, avoiding learning too much theory and lack of experience.
- Besides expertise, many soft skills are of importance to a student's future
career. Education programs should include soft skills courses. For example,
computer skills courses, presentation skills courses, social skills courses and so
on.
- The curriculum should concentrate on the quality of education but the
achievement of education.
- For the internship course at Hanoi Open University, the program should have
some practical sessions at school for interns to earn real experiences from a real
situation in class.
Unfortunately, soft skills should take precedence over the school curriculum
which is very essential for working in the real context but these skills are not
taught in school. I suggest that universities and teachers from all schools should
teach these skills while students are studying.
