Abstract:
The 2018 general education program in Vietnam has been implemented with the concretization of three sets of textbooks: The Kite, Connecting Knowledge to Life, and Creative Horizon. In the 7th grade Philology textbook, in addition to familiar literary genres, science fiction is a new genre included in the curriculum. This is a new genre that has created excitement for both teachers and students. However, this genre also causes many difficulties for teachers in developing lesson plans and organizing the teaching of science fiction stories. The 7th grade textbook has only been deployed for two years in Vietnam, so there are not many reference materials, leading to teachers being confused in teaching and developing competence, especially the ability to read and understand science fiction stories for students. Therefore, in this article, we propose some measures to develop the competence to read science fiction stories for 7th grade students in Vietnam.
