Dear RG colleagues,
I answered it to myself that I need a teacher to help me find my immanence and lead me to my own emancipation to a better condition of freedom in education.
However, students and teachers in my world keep asking and comparing their teachers to what they can have more accessible possibilities - Google - regardless of time, place, or matter.
What do you answer to this question if it is to you, the ResearchGate community?

Dear Colleagues,
One teaching activity can be successful for one context but not in others. In order to exchange the good activities in teaching among experienced teachers and researchers in ResearchGate,
Could you please share a description of your activity and the context where it was successful applied?
Thank you very much!
Dear Colleagues,
For this question, I would not want to have a look at literature now. I ask this question from the fact that languages in Vietnam are commonly taught by the means of Vietnamese. As long as I remembered, if I used more percentage of English in the classroom, the observers would question me about this action of using "more" target language than Vietnamese in an L2 class would prevent students from understanding. I did not agree with this perception but had to accept the fact until now although more relevant literature support my side. Currently, the national media recognizes the problem.
Could you please share your perspectives only?
Do you speak the target language in your classroom with students?
Why should and shouldn't we use the target language in the class?
Thanks a lot!
