By carrying out this study, the researcher wishes to give a hand in promoting speaking skill for high students Perhaps my research is certainly not perfect so I am looking forward to receiving input from all of you Thank you II RESEARCH PURPOSES The purpose of this topic is to help users in English (Both teachers and students) be aware of the importance of collocations in communication and create a habit of using English combinations You need to learn collocations because they will help learners to speak English in a more natural and accurate way People will probably understand what you mean if you talk about making a crime or say there was a very hard rain this morning, but your English sound unnatural and might perhaps confuse Learning collocations will also help students to increase your range of English vocabulary, express ideas more abundantly TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com III RESEARCH SUBJECTS Audience research is geared to forging subject for high school students in Thach Thanh high school, speaking skill through the use of collocations in English The research focuses on three contents: - Encourage and guide students how to learn the collocations effectively - Providing students the habit of using the collocations in English subject - Guide students to use collocations in communication IV RESEARCH METHODS The methods I have used: - Research methodology built on theoretical basis - Scientific research method: A method of observing the object a systematic way to gather information There are two scientific observers are observing direct and indirect observations - Methods of investigation: A method of teachers surveyed audience at Thach Thanh high school to detect characteristics and learning styles, ability to post - Experimental methods: The teacher actively impacts on students and the course of the student attendance to follow objectives, their expectation - Methods of analysis summed up the experience: As a research methodology and review the practical achievements to draw conclusions useful for practice B CONTENT INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE I THEORETICAL BASIS OF THE PROBLEM Communication plays an important role in integration stage, as well as in schools Speaking skill is an important skill for students to complete their synthesis capabilities In communication the students express their opinions, their views on a particular issue in life But how can the students speak English fluently? Using Collocation in communication will help speaking the language naturally and effectively with the listeners Collocations cannot be called compound words or compound noun That is, Collocation is a way of combining words together to form phrases according to the use habits of native speakers And an equivalent example in Vietnamese is that when speaking a black cat, a black dog, the Vietnamese will use the word "ebony cat" and "squid dog" rather than black dogs Therefore, using collocations will make our speaking more like native speakers.[3] Collocation is important because they account for a large percentage of daily English So choosing the right phrase helps learners express in a natural way, diverse and easy to understand as a native speaker We cannot arbitrarily combine words together So if you want to use the correct phrase, there is only the collocation learning method! TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com II STATE OF THE MATTER RESEARCH The fact that speaking skill is less invested by the teachers in high schools is not deniable When it comes to real situations, most of the students find it hard to communicate with the others To the teachers In recent years, English teachers have been invested more in knowledge and teaching assistant equipment However, to meet the standard in accordance with the requirements of the subjects in English is still limited, Speaking is a difficult skill which requires teachers’ energy in lessons Besides, guiding students uses the grammar structures, teachers have to guide them to apply them flexibly Some teachers not really care much about how to guide students to speak English because they not see its importance or not understand how to speak English well The use of collocations in English during the teacher's lectures is very limited, because teachers have not really seen the role of expression in lessons Add to that the collocations are fixed meaning- phrase should require users to be very careful language appropriate to the context, situation To the students So far students have learnt English only in the passive form (teachers say they understand such games), they not have the concept of investment for subject because they consider that English is a foreign language So the preparation of new and old studying at home is also deal, sketchy, especially in the regular classes Students are not really interested in learning English now, particularly speaking skills because of limited vocabulary They often find it hard to express their ideas naturally and accurately As a result, they gradually lose their confidence and become too shy to speak English in classroom as well as in public Here are the results of the current situation without application speaking using English collocations The survey used the collocations in English speaking lessons Number of students 164 Using effective Use less Never use No % No % No % 0 40 4,6 124 95.4 From the results, to help students get better results in speaking, I have read the documents, consult with colleagues and receive information from the students to get the solutions and specific measures for the application on the topic III IMPLEMENTING MEASURES TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com Encourage and guide students how to learn collocations effectively 1.1 Introduce the role of collocations in communication Collocations are word combinations that frequently appear together They will make your English communication sound more natural and fluent as the natives talk to each other 1.2 Guide students how to learn collocations effectively 1.2.1 Record collocations This is also one of the most effective ways to learn collocations to help students remember for a long time -
