40 young lecturers from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities attended the course “Course Design and Teaching Methods” taught by experts from the Singapore International Foundation (SIF) from February 27 to March 2, 2011.This is the first course of a 3-course program. By participating in the course, the school's young lecturers are exposed to new teaching methods and lesson designs. Movement games, development games, stories, etc. are applied flexibly and appropriately by the lecturers in each lesson. In each lesson, the young lecturers are divided into small groups to solve problems raised by experts. "By participating in the course, we not only learn many new teaching methods and classroom organization, but also have to demonstrate teamwork and presentation skills in each lesson. The experts have truly brought a very open and fresh atmosphere to us," shared MSc. Nguyen Anh Thu (Faculty of Management Science).
MSc. Phan Van Kien (lecturer of the Faculty of Journalism and Communication) said: “I have applied some of the methods that the experts taught this time into my lectures this year. However, due to lack of knowledge and experience, I often feel confused when designing lessons. Through this course, I have learned many ways to implement my lectures”. “For the past few years, I have only been teaching, but now I am a student in a class, I find it very interesting. The course has changed many of my concepts about teaching”, MSc. Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang (Faculty of Political Science) shared more. The course is also an opportunity for young lecturers in the school to interact, exchange experiences and understand each other better.
