7. TEACHING MATHEMATICS IN ENGLISH TO VIETNAMESE 6th GRADE STUDENTS BY USING CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING (CLIL) APPROACH
14:34 09/05/2019
Abstract: CLIL refers to teaching subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Biology, etc. through a foreign language. In this paper, we try to answer the following questions: 1) Can we teach 6th grade Mathematics through English? 2) - How often can we teach 6th grade Mathematics through English? 3) How can we teach 6th grade Mathematics in English effectively? To answer these questions, firstly, we study current 6th grade Mathematics curriculum and English curriculum in Vietnam to find the knowledge and skills that Vietnamese 6th grade students have already acquired and what they have to learn more in 6th grade. After that, we choose some 6th grade Mathematics contents and English contents which can be taught together. Finally, we propose the ways to use CLIL approach to teach those contents effectively.
Keywords: 6th grade Mathematics, 6th grade English, CLIL, Curriculum, Mathematics teaching.
10. THE APPLICATION OF CONSTRUCTIVISM IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING AT HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL IN VIET NAM
16:18 05/11/2018
Abstract: Constructivism, an educational theory describing the process of knowledge construction, has been applIed in mathematics education in many countries. This article proposes some suggestions for applying constructivism theory in mathemactics teaching. Subsequently, the author presents some mathematics teaching and learning situations in which students are supported to construct the concepts of the sequence with the limit zero and continuous function at a point (Analytics grade 11). In these situations, students have a chance to self-study, cooperate in group to construct new concepts.
Keywords: construct, mathematics teaching, learning situation, continuous function, sequence with the limit zero
