a new teaching method has been applied by many teachers in training students, aims to help students learn actively, resist passivel habits Under the current reform program, English requires students training on communication skills or rather, listening and speaking skills are especially valued Work in pairs, groups contributes to improving communication, exchanging and cooperating between students Work in pairs and groups will effectively bring to them dynamic and positiveness, attract all the participants, and also give opportunities to teachers to work as an instructor, consultant for students In years of teaching under the new method, I myself have evolved this experience: to improve the training efficiency, improve the quality of English, the most important factor is to identify and organize in process of the teaching “ consider learners centered, in teaching and learning procedure we must know the effective use of learning activities and practice in pairs and groups Above thoughts are important orientations in teaching and are the theme that I myself thought, made in the teaching process and has obtained certain results That is why I chose the theme: "How to help students learn to practice in pairs, groups effectively" Study purposes Being a teacher of English, I always concern myself and explore the best solutions to impart knowledge to his students in a positive way and have the best efficiency in order to promote self-discipline and initiative of students in English lessons Teachers must be appealing to them for playing a central role, guiding students in this form or other forms of teaching activities download by : skknchat@gmail.com So I wrote this theme aims to share, get feedback from colleagues to thereby improve and continue to apply it in the teaching process to increase the quality of English Study tasks: Research on methods, skills and steps to guide students to learn and train in pairs and groups effectively Research to uncover the appropriate methods, procedures and guide students to learn and practise in pairs, groups in grades at Muong Min secondary school Study scope How to help student to learn to practise in pairs, groups effectively is the experience initiative that is studied within given situations and some appropriate exercises to work in pairs or in groups At the same time these are ways to organize and control activities in pairs and groups With the scope of this study, we can apply in the development of all the skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing mainly - communicative activities With the desire to improve the quality of English lessons and help students to be able to communicate directly in English, students who learn in class of Muong Min secondary school These are the objects studied in this theme to offer the best solutions and help them overcome difficulties in learning, be confident to acquire knowledge of the teacher’s lectures Methods of study In the process of my study on this theme, I myself have used a combination of the following study methods: Method of observation: the person, who implements the project, looks for new research, visit colleagues’ classes The method of exchange, discussion: after visiting the classes of colleagues, colleagues take an attendance at the lectures of the person that implements the project, colleagues and the person implements the project start to exchange and discuss to draw experiences from those lessons - Experimental methods: teacher conducts to teach experimental lessons with purposes of some specific requirements, use active forms in pairs and groups download by : skknchat@gmail.com -Methods of investigation: The teacher ask questions to check students’ understanding of lesson content assessment B STUDY CONTENT Reasoning and real bases 1.1 Reasoning bases The essence of new teaching reason is a positive and creative promotion of students, students-centered, students are the subject of the learning activity, the teacher is the organizer and guide them to receive new knowledge, practise language through a variety of communicative activities in the form of individual work, pairwork and groupwork In the teaching process, for promoting students’s positive initiatives, the pairwork and groupwork are forms of well-done learning activities Through this form of learning they have chances to present, exchange and express their thoughts about the amount of information on the lessons that they understand, feel and from these they are able to respond to personal information processed The amount of information of each student can be right or be wrong Through pairs or groups they respond to information for teachers Then the teacher grasp the level of thinking, their understanding This process is taken place with the two-way relations In terms of learning theory, this is a dialectical relationship Besides, to be exchanged in pairs, groups students should be trained more in skills and habits of thought, expression and presentation of a problem before a collective Through this activity, the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing of students is increasingly improved a Aim of this approach in the teaching process Through the teaching process, teachers help students with self-discovery on the basis of self-awareness, freedom to think and debate for drawing useful lessons, from that students may propose discussing issues and resolve problems better Students are the centered object, tell them to practise in pairs and groups to communicate with each other, help children practice easily and correct timely When work in pairs and groups, the gifted students will help bad students grasp the essential knowledge of the lesson, they will gradually know how to learn and grasp the basic knowledge of the subject Practising in pairs and groups helps them with the competition and effort, from that teachers have discovered the good students to foster At the same time, practising in pairs, groups help children with learning selfconsciousness, boldness and confidence, the bad children also learn from their download by : skknchat@gmail.com partners self-learning method under the motto: "Learning from friends is better than from teachers" b Characteristic signs of the method - The teacher must admit, empathy, respect for the needs and purposes of the students, gain credibility, create convince and stimulate the intrinsic motivation of students - Base on the experience of students and exploit those experiences, promote positive self-awareness - Achieve the maximum level of learners’ involvement, minimize requirements of the director(the teacher) - Promote independent thinking ability for students, creative thought creates dynamic and confidence - Practising in pairs, groups helps students recognize the strengths and weaknesses on the part of the partners and especially they themself recognize their strengths or your weaknesses so that strive for helping themselves to be more and more better It’s easy for teachers to see foreign language environment, remote controls, so the teacher only tell students how to do, give specific instructions and deploy in pairs, in groups, assign specific roles and responsibilities, teachers easily observe style, then get results through the performance of each student 1.2 Real bases Practically, teaching applications" How to help students learn to practise in pairs, groups effectively" have shown relatively positive effect Through the practice in pairs and groups, students in the class I tested was bolder, more energetic in the lessons Every time I put some information and ask them to work in pairs and groups, they capture and quite successfully During practice students self - correct for each other pronunciation, use of sentence structure, intonation When get the students to practice in pairs and groups, teachers are in the positions to grasp the amount of knowledge that students to acquire, from these, teachers should know how to promote the strengths as well as overcome the limitations in the training of students in order to meet the actual requirements of the teaching process Reality and situation before studying 2.1 The real status of the study problem In school year 2016 - 2017 I was assigned to teach the class Through the first several weeks of teaching, I realized that the students’ ability to practise in pairs and groups is limited, some children are very passive, afraid to practise The number of students is active and energetic, is very few download by : skknchat@gmail.com Facilities are inadequate, students’ input is very weak, they not pay attention to learn Some advantages and disadvantages a Some advantages - I always get the attention of the Leadership, colleagues encourage, help, especially some older teachers experienced, this is a favorable condition for me to implement the theme - There is the Internet materials in my school It’s quite profitable for exploiting b Some disadvantages - Being a young teacher, I have not a lot of experience - Students are unequally distributed of quantity and quality Besides, a lot of many students not have the sense of learning How to help students learn and practise in pairs, groups effectively To carry out their activities and improve the quality timely like the other subjects, through monitoring the quality and students’ learning, I found that students did not meet the needs of subjects and teachers have difficulty adjusting ways to teach these students In the study I've found my positive approach is how the quality of students’ learning increasingly more advanced Combination of monitor and test in the class that I assumed, I found learning in pairs, groups is a viable solution to help students to be quickly progressive, meet the needs of the subject Here are some solutions to implement measures " How to help students learn to practise in pairs, groups effectively" 4.1 The implemented solution - Creat situations to suit each specific topic, make a plan to guide the students to work together, to exchange their learning - Need flexibility to use the book to guide students to gather data, draw structures for each type of exercise - Model for students is considered as a measure to help students acquire fastest and then the same for their own exercises download by : skknchat@gmail.com - Use illustrated things to ask pairs and groups to use material objects and paintings to practice easily In this way they are remembered every sentence structure, sample sentences and will any structure if the teacher ask - Give more researching activities, observation, creativity in applying knowledge for each lesson - Creat the appropriate atmosphere for students to debate in any more lessons - Maximize teaching aids in pairs, groups, ask students to prepare paintings, practising aids for each practice - Divide the class into a specific pairs (two students sit at a table or sit next to each other), request to discuss and ask - answer each section While students practise to ask and answer, teachers must cover and monitor class to comment pairs, listen and correct their errors, help the pair which has weak students - Divide the class into groups with good students, average students and weak students so that they can help each other Thus, students, who not have the opportunity to respond, will have a chance to answer the next questions The division of the groups help them to be bolder, more confident with their knowledge and they will have better manners For weaker students of each group, teachers should guide leaders of the groups good students to help worse learners, so they can easily approach knowledge and suggest to help their partners and they promote all their abilities in the language lessons 4.2 Requirements for teachers Keep track of them practice, comment each small mistakes, tell them how to avoid repeating the error that I have had When students practice in pairs and groups, teachers come to pairs, groups to monitor and comment to correct in time For common errors, teachers should ask questions to the class and the students themselves discover their mistakes to correct and avoid repetition By doing this they will avoid errors, understand and remember better Teachers grasp the knowledgable level of each student, the level of understanding each child's lessons to find appropriate methods of the teaching Assign tasks to group leaders to help and keep track of their members Teachers motivate, encourage timely students to well their tasks Create an exciting atmosphere for the children so that they are interest in the teacher’s comments Ask students to prepare well practice in pairs and groups download by : skknchat@gmail.com 4.3 Requirements for students Bring the ability to access all knowledge, create a practice routine in pairs and groups so that the next lessons, when the teacher pointed out hand signals and say commands (Group / Pair work) then students move themselves and the request of teachers Creates the language atmosphere in the classroom to see a foreign language course with its own characteristics Develop their language style Practise for each sample sentence, then use it to homework in workbooks, write sentences and write paragraphs Voluntarily practice any situation that teachers required Promote four skills of listening - speaking - reading – writing at the same time 4.4 Some activities in pairs and groups - Activity in the form of pairs: Interview This is a common activity which applied to the lessons, especially in parts of Reading and Speaking The teacher ask students to work in pairs to ask and answer for each topic of each lesson after giving the sentence patterns Performing this activity requires teachers to pay attention to the weak pairs to encourage them to participate Lesson plan * English Unit 1: Task Introduce yourself to the whole class, using the cues below Greeting Your name Your age Task Make adialogue with a friend, using the cues below Greeting Introduce your name Asking how he / she is Asking how old he / she is Unit Student A: ask your friend Student B: Answer your friend’s download by : skknchat@gmail.com some question Use the give words questions Use the given words 1…………………………… 1………………………… what/name ?
