Đi du học và phương pháp tư duy hiện đại
Có lẽ chúng ta đã biết thầy Jim đôi chút từ những câu chuyện chia sẻ từ trái tim thầy giáo – đến trái tim học trò ở các kì trước. Thầy Jim là một cách nhìn mới mẻ phương Tây, trộn lẫn kinh nghiệm quốc tế với sự cởi mở thích chuyện trò. Lần này, thầy Jim “chat” với chúng ta về một chủ đề hoàn toàn mới – chúng ta tư duy về chính cách ta “tư duy”. Về cuộc sống xung quanh, những thứ đang ‘hái’ ra tiền và cách ta lựa chọn cho mình.
Tiếng Anh du học: Dễ và Khó
Đến Việt Nam, tôi đã gặp những bạn nhỏ ở những khu du lịch, đó là khu phố cổ Hà Nội. Các bạn nhỏ này học tiếng Anh rất “cấp tốc” bằng cách nói chuyện với các du khách và các bạn phải học vì cần tiếng Anh để sống. Chỉ có một lựa chọn mà thôi, đó là giữa bán được sách du lịch và không bán được. Hoặc là nói được tiếng Anh lưu loát và bán được nhiều hoặc là không nói được gì cả và cầm toàn bộ sách mang đi đem về nhà sau một ngày dài đi bộ ngoài đường.
Tâm sự tân du học sinh: 101 thử thách!
” Tớ nghĩ sự khác nhau lớn nhất mà tớ cảm nhận được sau 4 tháng theo học tại Úc là khoảng cách giữa mối quan hệ của học sinh và giáo viên. Ở trường La Trobe, học sinh cảm thấy rất gần với giảng viên, khi nói chuyện với giảng viên thì mình có cảm giác là bạn bè hơn là thầy trò, còn ở ViệtNam thì các bạn cũng biết rồi đấy, giữa học sinh và thầy cô luôn là một khoảng cách khá lớn.”
