Abstract

Surveying compound-sentence exercises types in the Vietnamese-Language subject of the 2006 Primary School Program and those currently in some primary schools, Dong Thap province, the article clarifies a number of issues on building compound sentence exercises teaching 5th-graders for competency development. In particular, the article focuses on those exercises aligned with 3 lesson types in the cognitive-level order: awareness, understanding and application. These exercises provide teachers with more resources to apply to teaching; thereby, helping students identify the structural features of compound sentences and use them effectively in communication.
