Becoming Beautiful Teachers: Using Vietnam's Foreign Language Teacher Competencies for Teacher self-assessment

Session Information

Do you think you are beautiful? What is a beautiful teacher? How do you enhance the beauty of your teaching? What criteria should you use to assess the beauty of your teaching? What "mirror" can you use? Parker Palmer (2017:154) writes, "Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher." In this practice-based workshop, participants will have chances to examine their identities as teachers as they hold up the mirror of Vietnam's Foreign Language Teacher Competencies Framework (MOET, 2020). They will join in the activity of reflecting on the image of themselves as developing professionals in light of a professional profile of beautiful teaching. More specifically, they will reflect on their own teaching identities, and on the qualities of those teachers who have shaped their professional lives. Finally, participants will engage in a technology-enhanced inventory to help them identify strengths and areas for improvement and professional growth.
