Using the text - book English 10 to apply to each speaking lesson - Reading reference books to improve - Using the soft ware POWERPOINT, pictures and other materials - Discussing with other teachers - Observing and drawing out experiences 2.CONTENTS 2.1 Theoretical background Today the world is entering the knowledge economy in which the key to the treasure of human knowledge is English Not only does the English language help students to have more languages than their mother tongue but also to help them learn Students have the means to communicate with the world in all different areas Handout will be a great help for teachers when they want to adjust the textbook assignments to better suit the level of students in class or when they want to provide more exercises for students to practice Handout can just be a simple small change from the difficult task in textbook providing a great deal of new words, new structures for students to practice It is extremely useful in pair-work or groupwork It not only gives students the opportunities to practice speaking more, but also forces them to read and think Gradually, it will make students more confident to talk what they think easily and may creat the “ habit and reflexion of speaking” in the daily situations By using handout can students speak English as naturally as they learn their mother tongue without being aware they are studying even to the hesitant and shy students 2.2.The practical background and learning English at Quang Xuong4 high school Currently high school students are not really aware of the importance of learning English, but students only think that learning English is just to pass the graduation exam an even more difficult rural school for teaching and learning English is the use of English to communicate in English lessons Besides a few students not like to learn English, so I always thinking of how to get students interested in this subject especially promotes the ability to use existing language to develop better speaking skills in the post reading section Through teaching practice I discovered students are more confident and bold with using handouts to speak English, using handouts as teachers are not too dependent on books but have to think and design handouts accordingly with students of my school 2.3 Solutions to the problem Using handouts as a teaching aid requires the teacher the creation and a good knowlegde about teaching approach Indeed, if the teacher neither understand the objectives of the lesson, nor prepare teaching plan carefully, using handouts in these case is ineffective Not only is it useless but it also make the student becomes confused There is a wide range of handouts which teachers probably take full advantages of to stimulate students in speaking lessons In this work, I mention some kinds of handouts that I used effectively last year for my students Four typical handouts: 2.3.1 Table handouts This type is the most popular because is is easy for teachers to creat and for the students to understand It provides new words and new structures for especially the weak students who have a poor vocabulary For example,afer teaching part A of Unit :The Story of my village in post reading may be difficult for most of students, teacher create a table handout using the words in the task they have learned Sample handout :Unit 8:The Story of my village Talk about the changes in village The students work in pairs to complete the table and a representative to talk about the changes of the village What will you to help your village if you have chance?

a seaside high school 3.2 Recommendations a For students: - 100% must prepare lesson before going to class - Using reference books, good learning books are effective Especially not to over use “To learn English well 10.” -Actively participate in pairs and groups to practice speaking English everywhere b For teachers: -
