Results achieved: surveys, data collection, or projects undertaken during the internship.
Surveys Conducted
To assess the effectiveness of the KET and PET programs and gather feedback from students, I designed
and implemented several surveys. These surveys aimed to evaluate students' satisfaction, learning
outcomes, and areas for improvement within the courses.
Surveys Conducted
1. Student Satisfaction Survey
Objective: To gauge overall satisfaction with the KET and PET courses.
Methodology: A structured questionnaire was distributed to students at the end of each course.
The survey included Likert scale questions on various aspects of the learning experience.
2. Quality of Teaching Survey
Objective: To evaluate students' perceptions of teaching quality.
Findings:
90% of students rated their teachers as "excellent" or "good," appreciating their teaching
methods and ability to engage students.
Comments highlighted teachers' responsiveness to questions and their encouragement of
student participation.
3. Course Materials Survey
Objective: To assess the effectiveness and relevance of course materials.
Findings:
80% of students found the textbooks and supplementary materials useful for their exam
preparation.
Some students suggested incorporating more multimedia resources to enhance learning.
4. Classroom Environment Survey
Objective: To evaluate the physical learning environment.
Findings:
85% of students expressed satisfaction with classroom conditions, including seating
arrangements and lighting.
However, 15% indicated that they would prefer larger classrooms for group activities.
5. Extracurricular Activities Survey
Objective: To assess student interest in extracurricular activities offered by the center.
Findings:
70% of students participated in extracurricular activities such as speaking clubs and
language exchange sessions.
Students reported that these activities significantly boosted their confidence in using
English outside a formal classroom setting.
Data Collection
In addition to surveys, I undertook systematic data collection to support program evaluation and
development.
1. Attendance Tracking
Process: I maintained detailed records of student attendance throughout the courses.
Findings: High attendance rates (over 90%) correlated with improved performance on
assessments. This data highlighted the importance of consistent participation in language
learning.
2. Feedback Sessions
Implementation: Regular feedback sessions were held with students to discuss their experiences
and suggestions for course improvement.
Insights Gained: Many students expressed a need for more personalized feedback on their
speaking skills. This feedback led to the introduction of one-on-one speaking practice sessions in
subsequent classes.
Projects Undertaken
Throughout my internship, I participated in several projects aimed at enhancing the educational
experience at Ánh Hào Quang.
1. Classroom Library Organization
Objective: To create an inviting and resourceful classroom library.
Tasks: I categorized books by level and genre, created a checkout system, and designed a reading
corner to encourage independent reading.
Outcome: Increased student engagement in reading activities, with many students borrowing
books regularly.
2. Vocabulary Building Activities
Objective: To enhance students’ vocabulary through interactive methods.
Tasks: Developed word games, flashcards, and vocabulary quizzes that students could complete
during independent study time.
Outcome: Students reported improved vocabulary retention and confidence in using new words in
conversations.
3. Themed English Days
Objective: To create engaging learning experiences centered around specific themes (e.g., “Travel
Day,” “Food Day”).
Tasks: Planned activities such as role-playing scenarios related to travel or cooking
demonstrations where students used English to describe their favorite dishes.
Outcome: Enhanced speaking and listening skills as students actively participated in discussions
and presentations.
4. Peer Teaching Sessions
Objective: To encourage collaboration among students.
Tasks: Organized sessions where advanced students helped beginners with language practice
through games and conversational exercises.
Outcome: Improved peer relationships and boosted confidence among both groups of students as
they learned from each other.
Overall Experience
Throughout my internship, I engaged in various teaching and administrative tasks that enhanced my
understanding of language instruction. The hands-on experience allowed me to apply pedagogical
theories learned in my academic program, particularly those related to communicative language teaching
and student-centered learning.
1. Teaching Methodologies
I implemented diverse teaching methodologies that emphasized interaction and engagement. For instance,
I utilized the Test Teach Test (TTT) method, which involves assessing students' prior knowledge before
introducing new concepts. In one lesson, I began with a short quiz on vocabulary related to travel. Based
on students' responses, I focused on areas where they struggled, such as prepositions of place. After
teaching these concepts, I provided controlled practice through gap-fill exercises and concluded with freer
practice by having students role-play booking a hotel. This approach not only made lessons enjoyable but
also encouraged students to actively participate in their learning process.
2. Classroom Management
Managing a classroom of diverse learners was both challenging and rewarding. I developed strategies to
address different learning styles and levels of proficiency, ensuring that each student felt supported. For
example, during a group activity on reading comprehension, I grouped students based on their proficiency
levels. Advanced students helped beginners understand the text, fostering a collaborative environment
where peer support was encouraged. This experience taught me the importance of flexibility and
adaptability in teaching.
3. Student Engagement
I organized extracurricular activities such as speaking clubs and cultural exchange sessions, which
significantly increased student engagement. For instance, during a cultural exchange project, students
presented information about their home countries, including traditions and customs. This not only
improved their speaking skills but also fostered a sense of community and appreciation for diversity
within the classroom. Many students expressed that these activities made them feel more confident using
English in real-life situations.
Comparison with Relevant Learning Programs
The practices observed during my internship closely aligned with the theoretical frameworks presented in
my academic syllabus. Below are key comparisons between actual practices at Ánh Hào Quang and the
relevant learning programs from my studies:

Conclusion
My internship at Ánh Hào Quang English Center was an invaluable experience that allowed me to apply
theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. The alignment between the syllabus learning programs and
actual teaching practices reinforced my understanding of effective language instruction. Through this
experience, I gained essential skills in classroom management, student engagement, and curriculum
adaptation, all of which will serve as a solid foundation for my future career in language education. The
insights gained will not only enhance my teaching effectiveness but also contribute positively to the
educational environment at Ánh Hào Quang and beyond.
