VIETNAMESE CLASS AT ALASKA ACADEMY: A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY

Driven by a passion for delivering a diverse and engaging Vietnamese learning experience, teacher Ngoc Diep proactively designed a Vietnamese Practice session with the theme: “Expanding Vocabulary about Vietnam and Exploring Exclamatory and Imperative Sentences.”

Applying the Flipped Classroom model, student groups confidently took turns presenting information and data on the topic of “Vietnam” through lively and appealing formats, such as Cup Dance, poetry writing, riddles, performances, and presentations. The reporting groups were enthusiastic, and the groups cheering and listening were equally excited.

Summarizing the presentations, teacher Ngoc Diep skillfully guided the students of class 3A3 to express their feelings about the beauty of their homeland and share their attitudes about the need to cherish, preserve, and protect nature and the country. This seamlessly integrated the learning of “exclamatory and imperative sentences” in a way that was easy to understand and remember.

Before concluding the Vietnamese class, the students were further amazed and delighted when watching a video of the Water Puppet Art of Hanoi and participating in answering meaningful multiple-choice questions.
