Ms. Ha Thi Huyen Thu, an English teacher at Le Quy Don Secondary School, Lao Cai Ward, has been proactive in using digital tools in her teaching. For her, each lesson is a creative space, combining technology to make students both interested and absorb knowledge effectively.

“As an English teacher in the information technology age, I am always looking for new methods to make lessons more lively and attractive. When applying these applications, students seem very interested and excited in each lesson. In particular, their ability to memorize and apply language is significantly improved."

Coming from Sa Pa Primary School, Sa Pa Ward, Ms. Tran Thi Hai Yen believes that AI applications need to go hand in hand with the right orientation. Digital lessons not only help students practice all four skills but also maintain the ability to think independently.

Teacher Tran Thi Hai Yen said: “ Through today’s training session, I have learned many new methods and techniques to guide students in applying AI technology while still maintaining the ability to think independently. Student assessment will not only be based on periodic paper tests, but also through speaking, games, and interactive activities. This will help learning become more frequent, continuous, and effective.”

At Le Ngoc Han Primary School (Lao Cai Ward), teacher Tran Thi Huong applies artificial intelligence (AI) to create a vivid English communication environment. Virtual characters with native accents and lively lectures have inspired students' passion for learning English.

Ms. Huong shared that due to limited opportunities to communicate with foreigners in primary school, she used AI as an "assistant", building virtual characters with standard intonation or transforming into familiar characters that are loved by students.
