MATH AND SCIENCE TEACHER TRAINING COURSE AT INTERTU EDUCATION

Currently, the trend of teaching Math and Science in English is growing strongly. However, the reality shows that the number of teachers with sufficient expertise and English ability to teach is very scarce. Therefore, Intertu Education organizes Math and Science Teacher Training Course with the mission of contributing to improving the capacity of Vietnamese teachers to teach subjects in English.

1. Trends in teaching Math and Science in English

Learning Math and Science in English has actually received great attention from parents and students of international – bilingual schools for a long time. In the last few years, this trend is growing even in public schools across the country to improve the quality of education.

Accordingly, teachers, whether in public or bilingual schools, must adapt and constantly update the trend of teaching Math and Science in English, in order to meet the demand for access to international scientific knowledge as well as improve students’ English skills. The following are the trends of teaching Math and Science in English that have been, are happening and are about to happen:

• • Online teaching: When schools have to switch to online learning due to external influences, Science teachers must adjust their teaching content to ensure that the teaching quality remains up to standards regardless of the form of teaching.
  • Individualized education: School curriculum, if tailored to the unique needs of students, can promote progress as students develop at their own abilities.
  • Integrated education program: With the orientation of popularizing Science in English in elementary, middle and high schools across the country, Ministry of Education and Training has gradually merged the Science education program in English of other organizations such as Cambridge, College Board… with the Vietnamese national standard program. This is to help students find a passion for Math and Science, and to create conditions for students to meet English standards while at school.

2. Why is Math and Science teacher training program in English interesting?

Learning and teaching Math and Science in English is becoming more and more popular as it offers many good educational opportunities for students at the secondary, undergraduate and postgraduate levels in international schools. More and more curricula are being taught at high schools and universities in Vietnam, entirely in English, so familiarizing students with subjects such as Math and Science in English will be completely beneficial for students.

At the same time, the demand to study abroad in countries with English-taught programs (US, UK, Australia…) has also increased, not only for university programs, but also for high school programs. These students will have the need to study core subjects such as Math and Science in English, so as not to be surprised when studying abroad in a new environment and new knowledge. This opens up opportunities for teachers in the field of English training, increasing their income and developing future education orientations.
