INTRODUCTION

1. Rationale

In the world, many countries have chosen English as their second language. In

keeping with the development of the times, in addition to implementing the project

of teaching and learning foreign languages in the national education system, the

Ministry of Education and Training encourages schools to have bilingual classes in

science subjects such as Math, Physics...

Therefore, the project “Teaching and learning foreign languages in the

national education system in the period 2008 – 2020” was approved by the Prime

Minister on 30/9/2013. This is to aim at comprehensively renovating the teaching

and learning of foreign languages in the national education system, implementing

new curricula and teaching programs at all levels. It is expected that by 2015, a

significant progress will be made in the level of proficiency in the use of foreign

languages in human resources, especially in some priority areas. By 2020, most of

Vietnamese youths graduating from secondary schools, colleges and universities

have the ability to speak foreign languages independently, confidently in

communication, learning, working in an integrated, multilingual and multicultural

environment; foreign languages become the strength of the Vietnamese people,

serving the progress of industrialization and modernization of the country [9].

At the present, some schools in the whole country have implemented Physics

and some other science subjects teaching in English. However, that is difficult.

Schools must learn how to implement this pilot program. The two biggest

difficulties are the lack of qualified English teachers and the lack of standardized,

uniform programs. As for teachers, schools are passive, have to train them, foster or

find sources of rent, contracts from the outside are the main. Except for a few

schools, teachers are trained abroad, trained, and taught in English as Le Quy Don

High School, Tran Dai Nghia High School, and the rest are having the same

difficulty [10].

To overcome the status of teachers who do not reach the bilingual level,

Physics teachers are not good at English. Conversely, teachers who are good at

2

English do not teach Physics. Teachers teaching in English, the University of

Education - University of Da Nang has started to apply the standard output level 3

according to the framework of foreign language skills from the enrollment level of

2013-2017 and apply later. Bilingual teaching in some subjects specialized for

students 2014-2018, 2015-2019...

Physics teaching in English will create the premise, foreign language skills for

children participating in the International Olympic Games, the international contest

of science and technology. The teaching of natural sciences in general and Physics

in particular in English is necessary for us to soon integrate into the world and at the

same time to create an environment of striving for both students and teachers, give

opportunities to improve professional qualifications, adopt quickly of new

knowledge. However, Physics teaching in English materials such as textbooks,

exercise books, electronic lectures are very limited. Therefore, it is necessary to

design of English electronic lectures for Physics teaching, which will help teachers

to have additional materials and lectures.

Starting from the above reasons, I chose the topic: “Design of English

electronic lectures for teaching chapter “Gases”, Physics 10th

grade” to research.

2. Aims of the study

 Design of English electronic lectures for teaching chapter “Gases”, Physics

10th grade to develop foreign language skills for students.

 Evaluate the quality of electronic lectures.

3. Research tasks

 Research the theoretical and practical basis of the topic.

 Consult expert.

 Design of English lesson plans, study cards, homework.

 Design of English electronic lectures for teaching chapter “Gases”.

 Design of the rubric to evaluate the quality of electronic lectures.

4. Subjects and scope of the study

3

 The content of the chapter “Gases” in Physics 10th grade textbook and

similar content in English.

 Research scope: Chapter “Gases” textbook in Physics 10th grade.

5. Methods of study

 Theoretical research method: research related material to the topic.

 Practical research methods: rubric.

CONTENT

CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW AND PRACTICAL RESEARCH

1.1. Theoretical background of teaching the natural sciences subjects in

English

1.1.1. Levels of teaching the natural sciences subjects in English

Depending on the specific situation, teachers and students can flexibly use

teaching methods at different levels. For example, there are three levels of teaching￾learning:

Level 1: Teachers provide some Physics terms in English for students. Then

teachers teach in the classroom, communicate mainly in Vietnamese. In this way,

students will not be able to develop important skills in learning English, such as

speaking, writing and communication skills.

Level 2: Bilingual teaching - simultaneous 50% English and 50% Vietnamese.

This approach is often used in complex situations, which are too new for students to

catch up and fail to grasp the content of the problem.

Level 3: Teach and organize activities entirely in English. This method is

often used when the level of students is the same and the content is not too

complicated but relatively familiar with the students. By maximizing the use of this

method, students will have the opportunity to improve their English language skills

[5].

1.1.2. The roles of teaching the natural sciences subjects in English

English is an international language widely used in wide variety of fields

including science, technology and education. Therefore, English is a tool for us to

access advanced education and modern science and technology. Vietnam is a

developing country and international integration which help us to improve the

efficiency of education and training, exchange and apply advanced technologies in

the world.
