3 3 TOPIC: TRAINING SOME LIFE SKILLS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH ENGLISH LESSONS AT GRADE 11 A. RATIONALE OF THE TOPIC Students are future owners of the country, who will play important roles in the country s development in coming years. Without life skills, students could not fulfil their duties to not only themselves but their families, their community and their country also. In school years, students are forming and developing their own characteristics, defining their big dreams, are eager to learn - and willing to discover new things. However, they still lack knowledge about social life, living experience and are easily affected, incited to bad things In the current international integration context, students are usually influenced by both positive and negative factors; therefore, they always have to fight to choose their own value, to confront difficulties and challenges. Without being trained in life skills, students may be embroiled in destructive behaviour, violence, selfish living ways, practical mind and easy to have a deviation in personality development. We all have seen many students having negative phenomena such as drug addiction, suicide, violence, car racing, etc. Many researches have proved that these negative phenomena come from lack of life skills in student generation such as: emotional control skills, support seeking skills, communication skills, consistence skills As a result, training in life skills for students is very necessary to help them form suitable behaviour and have responsibility with their own lives. Moreover, being trained with life skills can help them have the ability to respond positively to different situations in their social life and know how to create, and maintain good relationships with others to have better and healthier lives. There are many different viewpoints about life skills: * According to World Health Organization (WHO), life skills are defined as the ability for positive and adaptive behavior that enables a person to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life.

4 * According to United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), life skills are defined as a behavior change or behavior development approach designed to address a balance of three areas: knowledge, attitude and skills. The UNICEF definition is based on research evidence that suggests that shifts in risk behavior are unlikely if knowledge, attitude and skills based competency are not addressed. * According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), life skills have a strong relationship with four pillars of learning: - Learning to know skills: critical thinking/ creative thinking/ decision making skills - Learning to be skills: coping with stress and emotions/ self-awareness/ selfconfidence skills, - Learning to live together skills: empathy, effective communication skills, interpersonal relationship skills, - Learning to do skills: values analysis skills, problem solving skills * Based on the empirical analysis of international experience and the reality of Vietnam education, the content of life skills training consists of the below basic skills: 1. Self-recognition skills 2. Valuation skills 3. Emotion control skills 4. Coping with stress skills 5. Seeking support skills 6. Showing confidence skills 7. Communication skills 8. Active listening skills 9. Showing empathy skills 10. Negotiation skills 11. Dealing with conflicts skills 12. Cooperation skills 4

5 13. Critical thinking skills 14. Creative thinking skills 15. Decision making skills 16. Problem solving skills 17. Consistency skills 18. Taking responsibility skills 19. Target reaching skills 20. Time management skills 21. Information searching and processing skills 5 B. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES IN PERFOMING THE TOPIC 1. Advantages: - The school has been equipped with good technology equipment (projector, television, and computer). - Training environment is very friendly. - My colleagues in English faculty and in other faculties (Liturature and Biology faculties) have given me much support. - With student-centered philosophy and ability to inspire the love of learning from the students, I myself always try to learn, update new knowledge and develop my professional to devote myself more thoroughly for the education. 2. Disadvantages: - The number of student in each class is quite many (43 students/class). - Students have quite far difference of knowledge and learning attitude. - Within limited time, I do not have enough time to extend, explore the lessons in details and focus more on the topics that students are interested. - Most of the students are not interested in activities organized by teachers. - Training life skills at lower grades in schools is not paid much attention. C. CONTENTS In order to train life skills for students, I apply a proactive technique and method to create conditions, opportunities for students to practise, experience life skills in the learning process. With this training method, students can be happy with learning

6 periods, not being overloaded or heavy. Moreover, students can learn many useful things which are close to their usual lives. Therefore, with this method, I am always very interested in answering the question What life skills can I train my students through the lesson? when composing the training plan before coming to class. In this initiative experience, I would like to mention some activities that I have applied in order to give my students the opportunity to practice life skills in their learning process. UNIT 2 PERSONAL EXPERIENCE READING AFTER YOU READ AFTER YOU READ (Textbook): Work in groups. Discuss the question: What do you think the girl had to do after she discovered that the money she had taken from the boy s bag was not hers? I re-design: Look at the pictures. Discuss the question What would you do if you were in that situation? (Pair-work) I. Objectives: My objective is to help the students feel more confident in solving difficulties that could suddenly happen in their lives: Once struggling with difficulties, they should always remember that they are not alone but there are always many people around them willing to help them, give them useful advice and share with them. II.Basic life skills: Communication skills / Problem solving skills / Cooperation skills Support seeking skills / Decision making skills III. Method: - discuss, analyze the situation and then practise 6 police parents psychologist friends Tel:

7 7 Teacher s activities - T presents pictures on the TV (or gives each group a handout.) - T gives suggestions. + If I were in that situation, I would ask the police to help me return the money to the boy. - T encourages Ss to give as many solutions as possible. - (T and Ss correct mistakes.) -> In short, when we have difficulties we have many solutions. If we can t solve the solutions ourselves, we can ask for help. There are many best friends around. Students activities - Ss work in groups of 4 to find out as many solutions as possible S1: If I were in that situation, I would get on the same bus the next day and look for the boy to return the money. S2: If I were the girl, I would tell my father the truth about the embarrassing situation. My father would give me the best advice. S3: My father would be angry if he knew the truth, so I wouldn t tell my father. I would tell the truth to my mother and my mother would help me. S4: If I were in that situation, I would phone a psychologist (Mrs. Mai) to ask for advice. S5: I have a very intelligent close friend. If I were in that situation, I would ask her for help. This activity can not only help students to practise their English but also help them to develop their life skills to solve their difficulties.
