Ha Tinh VTTN trainers
On the move each month!

….we had the idea to deliver receptive skills (Teacher training for Reading and Listening lessons) to every teacher around Ha Tinh province by travelling around and holding VTTN District Workshops.

During the July 2007 VTTN Provincial Workshop in Ha Tinh City, we had the idea to deliver receptive skills (Reading and Listening) to every teacher around Ha Tinh province by travelling around and holding VTTN District Workshops. Now this has come true!

On October 27th 28th, we gave our first busy, but fun and meaningful, training weekend to 35 English teachers from around Duc Tho and Vu Quang districts (50 km north west of Ha Tinh)The VTTN district workshop was made possible by the support and leadership of Ms Nguyen Dinh Chien (ELT Specialist of Ha Tinh). The training was delivered by Mr. Trung, Mr. Long (Ha Tinh VTTN Trainers) and 3 selected teachers in Duc Tho who had participated in the July 2007 VTTN Provincial.

 

 

 

 

 

Ha Tinh teachers trying out a game

All the participants worked very enthusiastically sharing activities and ideas together as they all knew each other well from working and living near each other. The participants also appreciated having the workshops close to where they live.

After the workshop, the teachers found themselves more confident and able to adapt lessons from the textbook and to design their own questions that are suitable to their own students' levels and interests. This was also a big chance to develop more trainers for the VTTN network.

We had a nice demonstration lesson with the peer teaching, but unfortunately we could not do it in a real class because it was Sunday and the students don't come to school on that day.

The next workshop has been scheduled now in another district in late November and it will be on a Friday, and Saturday so we can practice teaching in a real class and the teachers can do observations and further share their experiences.
