Khoảng tháng 7 nãm 2000. 61 tỉnh và thành phố trên khắp Việt Nam đã hồn thành
chương trình "Phổ cập giáo dục tiểu học" và "Xóa nạn mù chữ". Tuy nhiên, khoảng
thời gian này, chỉ 94% dân số Việt Nam biết đọc và viết. Điều này có nghĩa chúng ta
cịn nhiều cơng việc phải làm hơn nữa để có thể xóa nạn mù chữ trên khắp cả nước.
Mùa hè năm 2000. Hội Khuyến học Việt Nam mở một chiến dịch xóa mù chữ. Trong
chiến dịch này, 600 sinh viên thuộc các dân tộc thiểu số vùng cao được cử đi dạy kĩ
năng đọc và viết cho 1200 người mù chữ ở ngay quê hương của họ. Năm 2001, 800
sinh viên tình nguyện tham gia chiến dịch, số người học đọc và việt lên đến 4623
người. Đây là một biện pháp hiệu quả giúp những người ở vùng sâu vùng xa có thể
đọc và viết.
Những sinh viên tham gia trong chiến dịch chống nạn mù chữ xem đó như một cơng
việc đáng tự hào khi được giúp đỡ chính những người cùng quê hương. Họ tình
nguyện dành cả mùa hè để dạy đọc và viết cho những người mù chữ. Một số thậm chí
cịn chuẩn bị tài liệu giảng dạy có liên quan trực tiếp đến học viên của họ. Họ nói
Page 3
chuyện về những kĩ thuật canh tác mới và kế hoạch hóa gia đình. Trước khi về họ cịn
hứa sẽ quay trở lại mùa hè tiếp theo.
Cuộc chiến chống nạn mù chữ tiếp tục vào mùa hè năm 2002. Lần này, Hội Khuyến
học Việt Nam quyết định mở rộng, hoạt động đến các tỉnh vùng núi khu vực miền
Trung. Hiện nay, số người mù chữ ở vùng sâu vùng xa và miền núi dần giảm. Chúng
ta hi vọng nạn mù chữ chẳng bao lâu nữa sẽ được xóa bỏ ở nước ta vì ngày càng có

The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and
write, or the ability to use language to, read, write, listen, and speak. In modern
contexts, the word refers to reading and writing at a level (1)
for
communication, or at a level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a
literate society,' so as to take (2) _
in that society. The United Nations,
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has drafted the
following definition: “Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create,
communicate and compute, using printed and written 'materials (3) _
with
varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an Individual
to achieve his or her goals, to develop his, or her (4)
_ and potential, and to
participate fully in the wider society."
Many policy analysts consider literacy rates a crucial measure of a region's
human capital. This claim is made on the (5) that literate people can be trained less
expensively than illiterate people, generally have a higher socio-economic (6)
and enjoy better health and employment prospects. Policy makers also argue
that literacy increases job opportunities and access to higher education. In Kerala,
India, for example, female and child mortality rates declined (7)
in the
1960s, when girls who were educated in the education reforms after 1948 began to
raise families. Recent researchers, (8) _, argue that correlations such as, the
one listed above may have more to do with the effects of schooling rather than
literacy in general. Regardless, the (9) of educational systems worldwide includes a
basic (10) _
around communication through test and print, which is the
foundation of most definitions of literacy.

Exercise 5: Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
A literate population is a necessity for any nation wishing to take advantage of
modern technological growth. For instance, research has shown a direct relationship
between literacy among women and improved health' and child care in the family.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
has long supported the concept that education must be considered an ongoing
process.
Adult education has long been important in Europe, where formal programs
began in the 18th century. In Britain, concern for the education of poor and
working- class people resulted in the growth of adult education programs, such as
the evening
school and the, Mechanic's Institute, to expand education opportunities for all people:
,After the Russian Revolution, the Russian government virtually eliminated illiteracy
through the establishment of various institutions and extension classes for adults.
In other areas of the world, adult education movements are of a more recent
origin. In 1960, Egypt established a 'schools for the people' system designed to
educate the adult population. In the 1970s, countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin
America began to increase opportunities for adult education. Innovative programs
involving the mass media are being used in many countries. Tanzania, for example,
has used mass education techniques and the radio to organize national education
programs in health, nutrition, and citizenship. In the 1980s, international educational
exchange programs grew in popularity in the United States and many other
countries.

II. LISTENING.
TAPESCRIPT
In an informal survey carried out in Perth, western of Australia, students were asked
to give their views on what makes an effective school. 80 per cent of the students felt
that mutual respect in the classroom was essential learning to take place. This implied
that students should be treated as individuals with both their strengths and their
weaknesses. 60 per cent of the students felt they should be encouraged to set realistic
goals for their learning, and to have positive attitudes towards themselves and others.
About 55 per cent of the students expected their teachers to be motivated and
interested in what they were doing: this would then reflect in their performance of
the students. Nearly all the students believed that learning should be centered on
important life skills such as communication, building self-respect and self-
Page 13
confidence, the ability to learn from failure, and time management, suited to the
maturity of the students concerned.
One hundred per cent of the students felt that the social side of school was as
important as academic activities. The older students felt that they should be allowed
to give some input school decision making a direct effect on students.
1. The students were asked to………….what makes an effective school.

Task 2.
1. Where did the survey take place?
—> It took place in Perth.
Page 14
C.
2.
What percentage of the students felt mutual respect was
essential for effective learning to take place?
—> 80 percent of the students.
3. What did the older students feel?
—> They felt that they should be allowed to give some input into school decision
making.
After you listen: Discuss the question: Which do you think is more essential for
better learning - good teachers or good textbooks?
Textbooks are essential teaching and learning materials in any program and syllabus.
Having good textbooks is very important. Good textbooks provide students with
adequate knowledge, skills and practice. Good textbooks also guide students how to
learn and help them study effectively on their own
However, having good teachers may be more important than having good textbooks
because a good teacher can turn a poor quality textbook into an interesting one. In
fact, a good teacher can even replace the textbook, motivate students to learn, and
train them to use self-studying skills. Besides that, the teachers must take
responsibilities for the students’ learning.
