Exam season has come very close. How far have UTS-ers reviewed? Has anyone ever memorized a lot the night before, only to forget a lot the next morning, leaving us extremely confused while reviewing and also while sitting the exam? UTS has found the “key” to overcome this problem, which is to use the method of spaced repetition. Thanks to this method, we have reviewed almost all the lessons and still remember them for a long time. Let UTS reveal to you a little about the method of spaced repetition. The method of spaced repetition is applied based on the psychological effect of interruption, as defined by Hermann Ebbinghaus, a famous German Psychologist. His research shows that the set of knowledge we learn in a certain period of time will be memorized in people’s short-term memories and quickly forgotten, just like in our review story. But when we repeat the same content many times at different times, our brain will put that amount of information into long-term memory, helping us remember longer. UTS will give a specific example. Normally we need 1 night to learn all the knowledge needed for the next day’s exam, but when using the spaced repetition method, you only need 30 minutes to study in the morning. At noon, 10 minutes of review in the evening, and 10 minutes of re-reading the next morning, in total, we only need about 40 minutes to remember the knowledge clearly, effectively, and long-term. This method can help you memorize a large amount of information and store it for a long time.   The spaced repetition method can be applied and is effective in many different subjects and contexts. However, this method has a special impact when used to study and practice language subjects. A concrete example is learning

  Parents always seem to want their children to get high scores, develop well to become the best they can be at school. But in fact, improving themselves every day is the most necessary thing to help your child have enough experiences to step firmly in the future. Children not only need to be educated with academic knowledge but also need to have skills in self-development and unleashing their potential. From an early age, parents can help their children improve themselves from the following simple things: 1. Let children face up and solve their own problems. Not only adults, but children also face many problems every day, from difficulties in the learning process, pressure on grades, relationships with teachers and friends, physical health and mental health, etc. But not all children have enough skill or confidence to solve their problems. If not guided by parents, children will become timid, thereby choosing to run away instead of facing and solving each problem. This is also the reason why many children have a lot of trouble in school as well as in their life. Children who lack problem-solving skills tend to lack careful thinking in everything and are not oriented to what they should do. Therefore, teaching children to face problems and solve them will help them be more active in life, improve logical and critical thinking. When a specific problem occurs, parents should not help children do it right away. Instead, let your child analyze and define the problem. Parents can still be available to guide children when they need support, but it is still a priority to encourage children to solve their own problems first. If your child is having trouble with giving solutions, parents can sit down with children to discuss what should be done to be effective, so

  Research of Master Tran Vu LinhUS Vietnam Talent International School Teacher The subject History was often considered quite boring, “difficult” for many students because the amount of knowledge to remember is quite “massive” as well as the characteristics of the subject is difficult to associate with modern reality. Therefore, the teachers of History are constantly exploring and improving new and interesting teaching methods to help students acquire knowledge more effectively. And at UTS, the History teacher has implemented a very unique method: “Applying the art of shadow play in teaching History”. The application of shadow play to teaching, especially the teaching of History in high schools is very new. US Vietnam Talent International School is the first international school in Ho Chi Minh City to pioneer the introduction of shadow play into teaching history and initially achieve encouraging results. The project “Applying the art of shadow play in history teaching” was implemented for the first time in the 2020-2021 school year with the participation of 34 students in grades 10 and 11. After 2 months of implementation, the students completed four works with the content of two themes: “Resistance against foreign invaders from the 10th-15th century” and “World War”. These are the first works, which uts teachers and students devote a lot of enthusiasm and investment both in form and content. Although the knowledge and experience of shadow play is still limited, the products the students create are still extremely impressive and convey the story and historical context as the theme.   The goal of the learning project is to both stick to the standard of knowledge, while aiming to build an exciting training space for History and learn the specific skills of shadow play. Therefore, while writing the shadow play script, the students need to ensure the following
