Assessing the Current Situation of Teaching English in Hanoi High Schools Towards Developing Communication and Cooperation Skills: Perspectives from School Managers, Teachers and Pupils

This study aims to assess the current situation of English teaching towards developing communication and cooperation skills at high schools in Hanoi. The research combines quantitative and qualitative methods, including surveys and interviews with school managers, teachers, and pupils. The results indicate many significant limitations in the teaching and learning process, including i) Lack of diversity in learning methods and strategies; ii) Failure to create a positive attitude towards learning English; iii) Ineffective integration of communication and cooperation content into the curriculum; iv) Extracurricular activities such as English clubs are not organized regularly; v) Limitations in applying modern teaching methods; vi) Lack of diversity in assessment methods; and vii) Limited financial resources and teaching materials. The study suggests that there needs to be comprehensive innovation in teaching methods, program content, and assessment methods, as well as resource investment to improve the quality of English teaching and learning, meeting the requirements of the 2018 general education program and the practical needs of society.
