Some Recommendations for Integrating some Activities into the English Lessons. As discussed above, integrating some activities into the English lessons brings great help in improving students’ sense of responsibility to themselves, their families and society. These activities can help students in learning the language; encourage them to participate actively in the lesson, gain knowledge and learn about their sense of responsibility. However, there is one question. How to choose a suitable one and how to make it work the most effectively? These are some recommendations for integrating some activities into the English lessons in order to improving students’ sense of responsibility to themselves, their families and society: - The activities should be chosen based on many factors such as the content, the aim of the lessons, the level and characteristics of students. - The activities must connect the topics of the lessons with the responsibilities that students should fulfill. - The activities should keep all of the students involved and interested. - The activities should help the students develop their communicative skills. - The activities should make students think of their responsibilities in the real life. - Teaching sense of responsibility may make students bored so the activities should be challenging and interesting enough to attract their attention and stimulate them to take part in. - The length of the activities should be set suitably. In brief, it is very important for teachers to choose and apply suitable activities. Therefore, in the real teaching, the teachers should be flexible to choose and integrate the activities to exploit the benefits of these activities in the most effective way. As a result, the students’ sense of responsibility to themselves, their family and society will be improved day by day. 31 REFERENCE Tieng Anh 10 Tap 1
