The English demonstration lesson for Grade 5, delivered by Ms. Nguyễn Thị Thanh Loan from Kim Giang Primary School, left a deep impression on both colleagues and students. With the theme “School Life,” the class became a vivid picture of creativity and innovation, where students not only learned English but also experienced the joy of learning and expressed their love for their school.
Right from the warm-up, the classroom was filled with excitement and energy. The familiar tune of “Kim Giang School” (based on Baby Shark) immediately caught students’ attention. Their cheerful voices and bright smiles created a lively start. The following activities, such as Plickers and Word Race, helped students review vocabulary and practice natural English responses. Each activity was thoughtfully designed to suit the age group, encouraging confidence, teamwork, and enthusiasm in every learner.
A highlight of the lesson was the effective use of information technology. Ms. Loan skillfully combined animated PowerPoint slides, short videos, and online games to illustrate communication situations in a school environment. Thanks to these digital tools, the lesson became more engaging and realistic, allowing students to feel as if they were truly living in their familiar world of classrooms, teachers, and friends.
The communication practice part clearly reflected Ms. Loan’s teaching philosophy of “Bringing the textbook to life.” Students worked in groups to practice and present real-life dialogues, using the language learned in class. Sentences like “Our school is very big and beautiful,” “We have many classrooms and a lovely garden,” and “The teachers are friendly and always help us study well” resonated confidently and naturally throughout the room. These activities showcased students’ growing speaking skills and the effectiveness of interactive learning.
Beyond language teaching, Ms. Loan subtly integrated life skills education and messages about love, respect, and pride for the school community. Through each activity, students learned cooperation, communication, and self-expression – essential skills for 21st-century learners.
The lesson concluded with bright smiles and heartfelt applause. Observing teachers highly appreciated Ms. Loan’s strong pedagogical expertise, technological competence, and innovative teaching spirit. Her lesson was not only a professional success but also a testament to her dedication, passion, and love for teaching.
The “School Life” lesson – where knowledge, technology, and emotion intertwine – left a beautiful mark on the hearts of students and colleagues alike. Through her creative approach, Ms. Nguyễn Thị Thanh Loan has contributed to spreading the spirit of educational innovation, bringing meaningful, joyful, and inspiring English lessons to the classrooms of Kim Giang Primary School.
