Things teachers need to prepare for in the AI ​​and integration era

The project 'Making English the second language in schools for the period 2025 - 2035, with a vision to 2045' has just been approved by the Prime Minister. Along with opportunities, there are many challenges.

Free AI Tools for Teachers from OpenEdu

Limited time or old age make it difficult for teachers of all subjects to improve their English. Learners now 'demand' more skills from teachers than purely specialized knowledge. The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has shaken the position of teachers. Teachers in rural and remote areas lack the conditions and means to improve their English... are common difficulties of many teachers.

The above issues were discussed and solutions were proposed by education experts at an online exchange at the end of October in Ho Chi Minh City.

According to Dr. Dinh Ngoc Thanh - technical director at OpenEdu and winner of the 'Golden Globe 2020' science and technology award - the above issues are the reason why OpenEdu was born.

'AI is making clearer the truth that teachers should not just be 'knowledge transmitters', that is the task of books, of Google, and now of AI. The true role of a teacher is to 'light the fire', to provoke problems, to ask the right questions and to perfect soft skills in learners. And AI will not be an enemy, a replacement, but will be the thing that helps progressive teachers teach better and more effectively,' Dr. Ngoc Thanh shared.

In honor of Vietnamese Teachers' Day November 20, OpenEdu is currently giving away a 6-month AI Pro account worth 1.6 million VND, helping teachers build personalized AI Agents, with an additional '24/7 AI assistant'.

'OpenEdu's models are designed to be simple and easy to understand, so teachers can easily learn and create lessons even if they don't have much knowledge about technology, AI or code. For example, a math teacher can create an AI Agent that specializes in explaining math according to the teacher's method or according to the level of each class. If a student asks a question at 11 p.m., the AI ​​Agent will replace the teacher to answer immediately,' said Dr. Ngoc Thanh.

In addition, OpenEdu is also currently organizing the Running Prompt - Run and Wait contest with a total prize of 2.8 billion VND to improve the prompt engineering skills of students and teachers across the country.

Learn English faster and more effectively with Linearthinking

Regarding the 'problem' of improving English for teachers who are old, busy or in rural areas, Mr. Tran Thien Minh - IELTS and SAT teacher at DOL English and a two-time IELTS 9.0 scorer - said that the biggest barrier for teachers is not lack of knowledge, but the lack of a systematic methodology to effectively impart knowledge and skills.

'Just providing vocabulary and grammar training is not enough. The key solution is to equip teachers with a thinking system that helps improve their foreign language skills. The Linearthinking English thinking method provides teachers with a logical "framework" to design lessons, helping them teach students how to think instead of just teaching "what to remember". When teachers are equipped with a strong methodology, everyone can be more confident and proactive in teaching, thereby creating synchronous and sustainable changes for the whole system,' Mr. Thien Minh shared.

In more detail, Mr. Thien Minh said that DOL English has "technologized" Linearthinking through a comprehensive online learning ecosystem that not only provides knowledge, but also provides a personalized learning path. DOL English's AI system will also help learners in general, and teachers of subjects, in remote areas in particular, have the opportunity to practice and have their English pronunciation corrected.
