My name is Ho Thi Kim Tuyen, and I was born and raised in Quang Ngai province. Back in
primary school, English wasn’t a subject we had at school, as it wasn't as widely taught at the
time. It wasn't until I got to 6th grade that I finally had my first English lessons. By that point,
most of my classmates had already been taking extra English classes for a while.
Unfortunately, my family couldn’t afford those extra lessons, so I often felt like I was lagging
behind. Seeing my classmates chat in English at school fascinated me, and I found myself
drawn to the language. I remember sitting quietly, listening to them speak, not understanding
much, but feeling even more determined to learn it myself.
From then on, I spent most of my free time self-studying. I borrowed books from my friends
and watched English programs on TV. Even though it was tough, every time I understood a
new word or could say a sentence correctly, I felt a sense of accomplishment. My love for the
language kept growing. By the time I started formal English classes in the 6th grade, my
passion and the guidance of a dedicated English teacher helped me achieve good results year
after year.
After finishing high school, I knew I wanted to continue my journey with English, so I chose
to major in English Language Studies at the University of Industry in Ho Chi Minh City. On
my first day of university, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. But soon, I met
classmates who shared the same passion for English, and my worries quickly faded.
At university, I had the chance to learn from knowledgeable and supportive professors. They
not only taught the subject but also shared their practical experiences, helping me understand
how English could be applied in everyday life and in my future career. I came to realize that
learning English isn't just about grammar and vocabulary—it's about understanding different
cultures, people, and global perspectives.
My time at the University of Industry gave me many valuable experiences. From joining
English clubs, interacting with international students, and working on group projects, to
giving presentations, I grew both academically and personally. The combination of classroom
learning and extracurricular activities helped me not only improve my language skills but also
develop important life skills like communication, time management, and critical thinking.
Studying in this environment has made me more confident, expanded my worldview, and
equipped me with the tools I need for the challenges that lie ahead.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor - Ms. Nguyễn Thị Thanh Xuân
for her dedicated guidance and support throughout my recent internship.
Ms. Xuân is not only an exceptional educator but also someone who is always full of
enthusiasm and commitment in her work. From the very beginning, she helped me establish a
clear and detailed plan to execute my report effectively. Whenever I faced difficulties, she
was always willing to offer practical advice and solutions that made overcoming challenges
much easier. Her guidance and support have not only helped me complete the report but also
equipped me with valuable knowledge and skills for my future career.
Although the internship primarily took place through Zalo and MS Teams, and we did not
have the opportunity to meet in person, Ms. Xuân consistently maintained regular
communication. She continuously reminded me of issues related to the report and shared
valuable resources and insights related to my field, which has been incredibly meaningful to
me.
I genuinely appreciate and am thankful for her support and companionship throughout this
process. Her patience, meticulousness, and professional attitude have been a great source of
motivation for me. I hope to have the opportunity to continue learning from her in the future
and to apply what I have learned to my career.
Additionally, I cannot overlook the wonderful friends I had the pleasure of working with during
this internship. The sessions where we exchanged ideas, discussed, and solved problems together
truly highlighted the power of teamwork and camaraderie.
The constant support and encouragement from all of you made the entire internship experience
much more meaningful and enjoyable. We faced challenges together, shared joyful moments, and
learned from each other, creating valuable memories that I will cherish forever.
I genuinely feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with such amazing people. I hope
that we will stay in touch and have the chance to continue growing and achieving new successes
together in the future.
Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Ms. Xuân and all of you. Your companionship and
sincere support have made this internship period exceptionally special and meaningful.

HISTORY:
Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City traces its origins to the Go Vap Vocational School,
established by Don Bosco priests on November 11, 1956, in Hanh Thong commune, Go Vap
District, Gia Dinh Province. In 1968, it was renamed the Don Bosco Private Junior High
School of Technology. By January 31, 1970, the school had been upgraded and became the
Don Bosco High School of Engineering. Following the peace and reunification of the
country, the Southern Liberation Army took control of the school, and on December 19,
1975, it was transferred to the General Department of Metallurgy Engineering and

1. SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERNSHIP
My recent 3-month internship has left me with beautiful memories and valuable lessons. It
wasn't just a practical experience; it was an opportunity to delve deeper into my passion for
teaching.
This internship helped me gain a clearer understanding of a teacher's role. I learned about
the preparation involved in running a class, from designing materials to delivering lessons in
a lively and effective way. What impressed me the most was the ability to motivate students.
I realized that a successful lesson relies not only on knowledge but also on how a teacher
connects with students and ignites their enthusiasm for learning.
In addition to learning from the students, I connected with experienced instructors. Our
conversations and exchanges of ideas opened my mind to new insights and fueled my
ambition to strive harder in my teaching career. These practical lessons have been
invaluable in helping me clarify my career path.

In the context where English has become an essential requirement for career advancement and
daily life, My Du Language Center has made relentless efforts to establish its position in the
foreign language education market. The center is not merely a place to provide language
knowledge but also a dynamic learning environment where students can develop holistically in

One of the prominent advantages of My Du is its high-quality teaching staff, who possess
extensive teaching experience and excellent communication skills. They are not just knowledge

CHAPTER 3: TASK, PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Position: Teaching Assisstant
During Grade Responsible for: Grade 1
Time Present: 16:45 at the center
Start of Class: 17:30
End of Class: 19:30
Before each class begins, I arrive at the center at 5:00 PM to get ready for the lesson. The first
task is to tidy up and arrange the classroom, ensuring that the desks and chairs are neat and the
environment is clean. I check all teaching equipment, such as the projector and whiteboard, and
prepare textbooks and necessary materials for the lesson. When the students arrive, I greet them
with a friendly smile, helping to create a comfortable atmosphere. I also assist them with
registration and encourage them to chat with one another to ease any nervousness.
Once all the students are present, I take attendance to record the number of students attending.
This helps me track who is in class and who is absent. I remind students about classroom rules,
which helps them settle down and get ready for the lesson.
As the class begins, I assist the teacher in delivering the lesson by monitoring and supporting
students throughout the learning process. I move around the classroom, ready to answer any
questions students may have. If any student struggles with understanding a concept, I patiently
explain it again, using specific examples to clarify. Additionally, I check and correct students'
assignments, providing feedback and guidance to help them improve.
After the lesson ends, I take time to summarize the key points of the class and note any
difficulties that students faced. I write a short report on the class's performance and submit it to
the management team. This not only helps me understand the students' learning progress but also
allows the teacher to adjust their teaching methods to better meet the students' needs. With each
working session, I feel my skills as a teaching assistant grow, and my passion for this job
deepens.
REFLECTION
1. REFLECTION ON DEVELOPED WORKING AREA AND SKILLS
Throughout my internship, I realized that teaching is not merely about conveying knowledge but
also about employing skills in lesson planning, classroom management, and effective instruction.
This insight allowed me to create an engaging learning environment, connect theory with
practical activities, and leverage teaching aids and online tools to make lessons more dynamic
and effective.
Teaching Skills
The internship provided me with practical experience that significantly improved my teaching
skills. I learned to apply various instructional methods tailored to students’ different learning
levels. This included using games, hands-on activities, and group work to accommodate various
learning styles. For example, I integrated games and quizzes into my lessons, which not only
made learning enjoyable but also encouraged active participation. Additionally, I learned to give
constructive feedback to help students continually improve. If I noticed that students were
struggling to understand a concept, I adapted my teaching approach to make it more accessible.
For example, when introducing complex vocabulary, I created visual flashcards that combined
images with words, making it easier for students to comprehend and remember new terms.
Communication Skills
Effective communication is crucial for creating a lively and interactive learning environment.
Besides implementing engaging teaching methods, I frequently approached students before and
after class to chat about their lives, which made them feel valued and close to their teacher. This
helped foster confidence, encouraging students to interact more during class, feel comfortable
raising their hands to answer questions, share ideas, and ask for clarification whenever they
needed it.
Problem-Solving Skills
During my internship, I encountered various challenges in the classroom, and developing
problem-solving skills became essential for addressing unexpected situations. For example, I
dealt with instances where students refused to participate or caused disruptions. By analyzing
each situation, I learned to assess the underlying reasons for their behavior and implement
effective solutions. When students acted out, I remained calm, addressed the behavior
constructively, and redirected their attention back to the lesson, thus reinforcing a positive
learning environment. This experience has helped me become more confident in managing
classroom dynamics.
This internship has provided me with invaluable experience and insights, and I am eager to
continue developing these skills as I pursue a career in teaching.
Negotiation Skills
In instances where students were resistant, I employed a collaborative approach, inviting them to
share their concerns and suggesting compromises. This method not only resolved conflicts but
also empowered students to take ownership of their learning.
The internship at Mydu not only contributed to my professional development but also played a
crucial role in my personal growth. One of the most important lessons I learned was the value of
active listening and observation. By observing how other teachers conduct their lessons, interact
with students, and handle various situations, I gained practical experience that helped me refine
my approach to teaching. I realized that listening to students is just as important as teaching
them, as it creates a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.
Another significant improvement was in my confidence and communication skills. Initially, I felt
unsure when faced with classroom challenges, but as I gained more experience in handling
student issues, I became more confident and assertive. This confidence extended beyond the
classroom, allowing me to interact more effectively with colleagues and parents.
Additionally, the internship helped me develop discipline and self-reliance. I learned to organize
my time efficiently, plan lessons independently, and take initiative without needing constant
supervision. This experience taught me the importance of being proactive and taking
responsibility for my work in a professional setting.
In conclusion, my internship at Mydu English Center was an invaluable experience that not only
strengthened my teaching skills but also fostered my personal development. The discipline,
flexibility, and confidence I gained during this time will undoubtedly benefit me in my future
career as an educator.
CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
Based on my time at Mydu English Center, I would like to offer a few suggestions that could
further enhance the internship experience for future interns.
Firstly, I believe it would be beneficial to provide more opportunities for interns to observe
experienced teachers in action. Observing seasoned professionals as they navigate classroom
management, lesson delivery, and student engagement is an invaluable learning tool that could
be incorporated more extensively into the internship program.
Secondly, offering interns more structured feedback sessions would be helpful. While I received
informal feedback throughout my time at the center, a more systematic approach—such as
weekly or bi-weekly evaluations—could provide interns with clearer guidance on areas for
improvement and help track their progress more effectively.
Lastly, I suggest integrating more interactive teaching tools and technology into the classroom.
With students becoming more digitally engaged, leveraging technology such as smart boards or
educational apps can make lessons more dynamic and engaging. This will not only benefit
students but also give interns exposure to modern teaching methods.
As a student in the Faculty of Foreign Languages at the Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh
City, I would like to offer a few recommendations for improving the internship preparation
process.
Firstly, I suggest incorporating more practical teaching simulations within the curriculum before
students embark on their internships. While theoretical knowledge is essential, having more
opportunities to practice teaching in a controlled environment would build confidence and reduce
the anxiety that many students feel during their first internship.
Secondly, I suggest offering more specialized training sessions or workshops during the
internship to enhance the overall experience. While the two-month period was beneficial,
additional focused sessions on specific aspects such as classroom management, lesson planning,
or student assessment would provide interns with a more comprehensive understanding of the
teaching process and better prepare them for real-world challenges. These targeted sessions
could help bridge any gaps in practical knowledge and further refine the interns' skills.
Finally, I recommend including a soft skills development module within the internship
preparation process. Communication, time management, and conflict resolution are vital skills
that are often learned through experience but could be introduced earlier through workshops or
simulations.
