development of skills The vocabulary communication skills can be considered as the most important part because it is the means used to express ideas and there is also a bridge between the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing In any language, the role of vocabulary is also very important Can find a language is a set of vocabulary Can not understand the language without understanding the vocabulary, or through the lexical units But that does not mean that only understand the individual lexical units, independent of each other that can only be mastered through language dialectical relationship between the lexical units So learning the vocabulary and practice using vocabulary skills is the leading factor in the transmission of language and acquire a general and English in particular Since vocabulary is a language units it is expressed in two forms: verbal and written Want to use the language, that is to master the form of expression of verbal and written To that,

important part because it is the means used to express ideas.So learning the vocabulary and practice using vocabulary skills is the leading factor in the transmission of language and acquire a general and English in particular.Focused research topics: “Some useful methods of teaching and testing vocabulary English courses in Primary” is using the techniques and methods of teaching vocabulary for elementary school students SangKienKinhNghiem.net B CONTENT EXPERIENCE INITIATIVE I Justification of experience initiatives Like as other languages in the world, want to communicate with it, requires us to have a vocabulary Because vocabulary is an indispensable component of the language, which is used for communication activities In English we can not train and develop the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing of students that are not based on the foundation of vocabulary Indeed without the necessary capital, they will not hear of it and consequently is unable to speak, read and write well not be undone, whether you have mastered the form Recognizing the importance of this, today all the methods applied in lectures teach them focus on teaching vocabulary And start learning the English language is always associated with learning vocabulary On the other hand, as we already know, learning and proficient use of the target language vocabulary plays an important role in the process of teaching and learning any foreign language Vocabulary knowledge is a tool to help students with the ability to set and communicate successfully Currently in primary school English teaching and learning going on, along with innovation education methods, in order to match the perceptions of students, help students get access to the content English vocabulary in the curriculum is also used in line with the overall development of the social and psychological characteristics of students.This requires each teacher to use, versatile, flexible methods and techniques of teaching to meet the needs and different learning conditions in the locality Moreover, the supply of funds from subjects, themes How to give students a rich vocabulary and thereby help them to shape and develop the capacity to use English as a communication tool That is a big question to be answered in order to improve the quality of learning of students Elementary vocabulary II Research Situation The real state In the language schemes of the Ministry of Education 2008-2020, specific objectives of the program is English primary school after finishing grade, students can: - Students must achieve level A1 - There is a vocabulary of 500-700 words including language oral and pen - Students can apply learned vocabulary in simple communication situations through the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing mainly on writing and speaking, listening and speaking - There is minimal knowledge of the English language, and through English with initial insights about the country, culture and people of the Englishspeaking countries - Have a positive attitude towards learning English - Formation of a way how to learn English effectively, provide the basis for learning other languages in the future To achieve this goal is not simple truth by many reasons: SangKienKinhNghiem.net In our country today, the teaching and learning of English in schools takes place in the communication environment of teachers and students, there are many limitations: Teachers read and list the words in the teachers had never appeared in the teaching process called new words, then scored all teachers both new words up on the board, explaining that by Vietnamese and for them to read it several times Getting the children memorize new words to check in later lessons Thus making them boring and pressure In addition, there are other factors which affect the process of enriching vocabulary Elementary students as: - The feeling uncomfortable, tense or distracted, confused because the abstract concept difficult to understand the rules of grammar and how to apply them - The operation requires us to focus attention in a long time - Boredom - The teachers too much to fix More: - Lack of funds to organize the actual exchange activities for students to practice their vocabulary - Because most students are shy, lack confidence, afraid to pronounce, practice communication Additionally, syllable structure of language is quite different, so the ability to remember words, sentence structure Their limited - Elementary students are very active, so easy to lose focus on teaching new languages to the children faced many difficulties - Lack of much needed resources to help them understand the culture of English-speaking countries - Lack of real environment so students can participate in activities meaningful communication in English - Lack of funding for additional school supplies - Many parents especially parents in rural areas not see the importance of language learning should not care about this subject Specific: From the 2003-2004 school year elementary school Ngoc Trao officially put into teaching English courses in schools But English subjects than other subjects such as Mathematics, Vietnamese not yet parents and students realize the importance; Students are still neglected, ignored, parents were not interested They only emotional excitement, eager to receive the beginner days The more you learn, the harder, less ability to remember vocabulary, leading to poor child's vocabulary gradually while complex grammar gradually, leading to student ratio low favorite subjects On the other hand, the amount of time devoted to this subject is too small, only more per week, in which teachers have to teach all of the cages as introducing new language (new words, new phrases), the practical speaking, listening just one more so it is difficult for teachers to teach vocabulary carefully SangKienKinhNghiem.net About programs and textbooks: Although textbooks have very modern, beautiful form, presenting clear, eye-catching images Lessons thematic structure, close to the daily life for the purpose of monitoring the needs of their excitement But the program taught in a school are using multiple types of books, a variety of programs (old, new) Therefore, the study of teachers' difficulties, not depth In terms of content, in a lesson is divided into several lessons, combining the teaching of vocabulary, grammar and practice both The distribution of knowledge and the transfer to the students, teachers face many difficulties The result, the efficiency of the states From this situation leads to although primary school teachers and students of Ngoc Trao had a lot of quality attempt but reached no higher discipline Speaking and writing English is low, because the ability to remember and use vocabulary modest student, students use the word embarrassed when asking, written words are inaccurate, misspelled much Table initial states investigation 2016-2017 school year at the elementary school Ngoc Trao as follows: Grade Number pupil Mark 9, 10 Mark 7,8 Mark 5,6 Mark bellow 126 12 45 54 15 136 12 36 64 24 108 27 48 24 Therefore, although very difficult, but we must recognize that learning English at the moment is the beginning of building the basic foundation of knowledge for students, are necessary conditions for them to carry step up to the higher levels of education Therefore, teaching and learning English in primary school is a very interesting problem To solve that problem, teachers should create rich form of teaching, diversity In which the application of good techniques and methods taught is one of the forms of attracting more students to participate in learning and provides highly effective in increasing the capital from them Teachers must have the appropriate teaching methods for each lesson Now with the modern equipment we can apply creativity to make many interesting ways to teach vocabulary, effective and attractive, creating a diverse playground colorful in English.With the size of the subject I have no ambition and not enough to make all the way to teach vocabulary in English, but only wish to vocabulary teaching methods will help students learn effectively and not feel pressure when learning vocabulary How to introduce and test the vocabulary that they feel excited but still effective Through the process of my teaching provide some methods of teaching, test and learn vocabulary in English that I find effective and inspire students, “Some useful methods of teaching and testing vocabulary English courses in Primary” SangKienKinhNghiem.net III Solutions and implementation The solution 1.1 Defining the role of the teacher The teaching must be seen as an art so need to exploit and explore innovative ways to create positive effect of high art, with perfect technique skills To transmit knowledge but receptive gentle but effective and highly applicable To make students feel comfortable, gentle, teachers try to shorten the distance between teachers and students, psychological inferiority delete "scared her" school with her and play games together as friends No stuffing or turn students into passive but instead promote positive in each individual For the education sector it must create a favorable environment as well as providing useful information resources, the curriculum has been carefully chosen and adapted to the age and training opportunities suitable Teachers need to identify: How children learn vocabulary Principle teaches English for Children The method of teaching vocabulary How to choose from to teach Steps taught from Technical clarify meanings of words Measures to avoid forgotten Teachers today have to know how to use technical means to improve teaching methods Teachers are just followers, listening and noting the advantages and disadvantages of the students, said school issues naturally, avoiding student interrupted unless absolutely necessary 1.2 Defining the role of the students To identify the role of students as the center Must exploit psychological elementary age students to help them acquire knowledge in a gentle and practiced the skills the most, that's why ho? C students need to master vocabulary as well as samples sentence needed to serve during practice communication Encourage students to boldly speak English in class Not afraid to make mistakes when it comes, may like the new you learn the lessons for themselves which will be more confident in communicating and can remember the words and longer sentences To have effective teaching hours, teachers not only need to understand the appropriate time or obstacles that young, "boring", but also to grasp the learning method approach a language young Below is the summary of how children learn language in the process of teaching that I have concluded is: + There are many opportunities to meet with the foreign language + Contact the words, sample sentences together and put them in the clear context, closely related to each other + Use all the senses of themselves, observe and imitate, follow and listen SangKienKinhNghiem.net + Explore, experiment, make mistakes and check their own understanding + Repeated and feel confident when we establish the habit of using their newly acquired knowledge + Feeling encouraged, especially when friends are school children with the same language 1.3 Define teaching principles In English we can not train and develop the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing of students that are not based on the foundation of vocabulary Indeed without the necessary capital, they will not hear of it and consequently is unable to speak, read and write well not be undone, whether you have mastered the form For children focus on the lesson, teachers should follow the principles of teaching for children: - Play more than teaching, this is the method of "Teaching without teaching", teachers create diverse playground, colorful in English for students, guide students to master playground and gradually added to the active other - Activities, images than theory Pictures, games, music, painting, theater in general activities to help students participate in English environment naturally, not forced - Learning more specific curriculum The follow a certain curriculum will limit innovative capacity of both the teacher and students Moreover, in order to diversify the activities in the classroom, learning enhancement tools is essential - Listen - said more than read - write - Mimicking than grammar Mimic is indispensable for children, especially in learning foreign languages Mimic helps the learning process go faster, while including the application of vocabulary to basic sentence patterns - More fun for points Classroom atmosphere lively, exciting, encouraging students to have better motor learning is the score The method of teaching vocabulary As we all know, history teaching and learning English vocabulary has gone through many different methods such as: Language phapdich methods, methods of listening to Pop, methods Listening - Speaking, communication methods, etc Each method has its own advantages and shortcomings such as: 2.1 The Method of Grammar – Translation Method of Grammar - Translation has been widely used in our country for a long time and it has an undeniable advantage That is: - Students are trained very carefully about grammar and vocabulary acquisition is quite large - Students grasp relatively more basic sentence structure, memorizing the texts or paragraphs or form - Students can read the text quickly 2.2 The Method of Listening – Speaking Methods Listening - Speaking with the advantages of: - There are effective for beginners, especially primary school students Learners feel excited and confident to hear and imitate the teacher training, for SangKienKinhNghiem.net example: Students work under the orders of a teacher or sing simple songs in English - Students very boring with this method without the adjustments necessary teaching methods - Students apply what has been perceived in the classroom into practice is a difficult language to communicate Students can not use the language forms are practiced in class in a natural way because although students have ability to understand, remember and imitate the spot in the classroom, but they are also very quick to forget and feel embarrassed when experiencing similar situations in real communication This suggests that although students can recall from a perfectly finished they not understand the meaning of words and the inability to use the word in other contexts with what has been learned 2.3 The Communication method The teaching and learning vocabulary communication method is subject to the following principles: - Teaching and learning through practice communication skills - Learning from the past through the communication skills help students understand the meaning of easier because the communication skills of communication always context specific and vivid On the other hand through the learning of communication skills stimulate demand for new words as a tool to develop the skills - Teaching and learning from the use of high frequency Choosing words with high frequency of use will help the school to teach from achieving greater efficiency because those words are used frequently learners in many different social situations - Teaching and Learning from a master - Teaching and learning through a variety of different tips As noted above, teachers need to use different tactics to introduce new words or combination of procedures to introduce a new word Doing this helps to effectively teach vocabulary and help students remember longer word One thing to note is that the new translation into their native language as a teaching tips from the results, but teachers should restrict the use of this procedure because of the heavy reliance on the service will reduce your ability to communicate student - Teaching and learning through practical training Teachers need to organize practical activities and refresher consolidation words through listening, speaking, reading and writing to increase fluency when using the word These activities will help students focus on the identification and use vocabulary proficiency in each context - Pay attention to the role of students in the teaching and learning vocabulary Teachers should encourage students to participate actively in the learning process through a long and continuous Although teachers can give students information about vocabulary and support students in the learning process - Teaching and learning through the use of dictionary SangKienKinhNghiem.net Teachers should guide and encourage students to use dictionaries Primary competitive, help them become familiar with their use How to choose words to teach English has hundreds of thousands of words, so teach new words is a task not easy for foreign language teachers But keep in mind that the average person only uses natively spoken about five thousand words in everyday communication Moreover, students not need all these exact words to learn because sometimes you just need to recognize and understand the message that those words convey Therefore, the choice of words to teach based on frequency of use and the use of the word according to the needs of the students is very important Teaching vocabulary is introduced specific issues to consider for the purposes of the subject that I chose Typically a lesson in always new words appear, not from any new finish should also put in to teach To choose from to teach, teachers should consider these issues: - Active vocabulary - Passive vocabulary We all know how to teach two different types of words Since the initiative related to the four skills (listening - speaking - reading - writing) For this type of teachers needed to invest the time to introduce and give students more practice Teachers need to know the options and decide what will be taught from such a word from active and passive as a word - When teaching new words to clarify three basic elements of language are: + Form + Meaning + Use - The number of words to be taught in all, depending on the content and level of the student Never teach all new words, for they will not have enough time to perform other activities However, in an elementary lesson in my opinion should only teach a maximum of from - While choosing from teaching, I consider the following two conditions: + From there needed to understand the text? + From there it harder than students who are not qualified If the word is needed to understand the text and in accordance with the level of the students, then it heading from positive, so we have to teach students to master the specific measures I will set out below If the word is needed to understand the text, but harder than the level of the students, it is not from a positive group, so we should explain it to the students understand the significance of it immediately The steps teaching words Step introduces all, introduce the topic: this is an important step in teaching vocabulary This step will determine the success of the lesson, it will inspire students to think of the school from going through all the newly introduced points SangKienKinhNghiem.net The most important thing in the introduction of new words is to be performed in sequence: listening, speaking, reading and writing Never start from activities other than "listening" Remember the process of learning our mother tongue, always start by listening, imitating and then pronounce to other activities - Step 1: "listen" to the students and form new words by reading or using native CD is the best voice - Step 2: "say", after the student has heard the new requirements three times you repeat students As the students recalled, note repeat the class first, then new personal call to check and fix them immediately - Step 3: "read", writes the words on the board and get students to look at it to read Have students read the entire class, and read personal and fixes for students - Step 4: The "write", after the student has read the word correctly and then you ask students to write new words into their notebooks - Step 5: Determine whether the student understand the word or not - Step 6: Mark accented words: pronounced again and ask students to identify accented syllables and marking - Step 7: for the form and ask the students to define the genre of the new school Technical clarify meanings of words In English each word usually has two sides: the meanings of words and how to use The meaning of words and how they are used like two different issues There are many cases when the dictionary we can understand the meaning of words, but not so that already know how to use that word Usage of a word depends on the function of the word in a sentence, context, user habits and their relationship with the environment and social culture Here are tips to clarify meaning from: 5.1 Intuitive user: Real objects on layers, pictures, drawings sketches (rod), picture collage from magazines, gestures etc There is a strong interest to the powerful effect of student learning and help students memorize faster, longer + Use real objects to teach on the subject of school supplies (School things), apparel (clothes) Example : School things - Unit : Grade Pencil Pencil case Notebook Schoolbag Pencil sharpener Rubbers Pens Rullers + Take pictures and real objects to introduce the topic of food, beverages (food and drink), fruit (fruit), vegetables (vegetables) 10 SangKienKinhNghiem.net Example : Food and drink - Unit 13 : Grade beef Bread pork Orange juice water Rice vegetables Lemonade + Use pictures to teach on the subject of animals: wild animals, farm animals, pets ,marine mammals (sea animals) Example: Wild animals - Unit 19: Grade Kangaroos Crocodiles Tigers Elephants Zebras Monkeys Pythons Gorillas + Take pictures from magazines to teach seasons (Seasons of a years) + Sketch simple images to teach shapes, numbers + Use a palette to teach about colors (color) + Use the calendar to teach things in weeks (days in a week), in months (months of the year) + Sketch simple images to teach shapes, numbers + Use pictures or real objects to teach about toys + Use of body parts on the topic pliant body (Parts of the body) + Use pictures to teach the room (rooms), interior decorations (Funiture), weather (weather), emotions (fellings), sports (sports) + Use activities to clarify that the only active verbs (actions) 11 SangKienKinhNghiem.net + Mimicking the movements, gestures, facial expressions: teachers and students themselves is always a lively visual sources that skillfully manipulate will bring positive results Ex: happy – sad 5.2 Teach vocabulary through songs, chants, video clips We use video clips, songs, chant all very effective in learning and introduce vocabulary Sometimes they just belong songs, chant that they had a relative vocabulary This method helps the children learn from a natural, comfortable without being forced to learn is his With this method the teacher should invest the time to find on the website of the song, chant, the video clips matching content lesson, psychological and physical fit his or her age I think that using this method to teach and reinforce vocabulary very effectively, can encouraging all pupils to participate Example : The Alphabet Song Now I know my ABCs Next time won`t you sing with me - The song “ We are the alphabet ” AB C D E F G// H I J K L N M O P///Q R S /T U V/ W X Y Z Now I know my ABCs Next time won`t you sing with me Example : Chant How many desks? How many,how many, How many desks are there? One,one,there’s one How many,how many, How many maps are there? two,two,there are two How many,how many, How many lamps are there? three,three are three 5.3 Use language learned Definition, describe: Students will rely on vocabulary and basic knowledge to guess the meaning of words through the definition of teachers This procedure gives the students curiosity and wish to participate in the learning process at the same time forging listening skills for students EX: + T: It is very big and it has a long nose What is it? Ss : Is it an elephant? T: Yes! Use synonyms, antonyms We use synonyms or antonyms to clarify the meaning of a word when the students already know the meaning of a word in a pair of synonyms, antonyms a Synonyms nice = beautiful, clever =intelligent Bike = bicycle b Antonym Like - hate Cheap – expensive Black- white Rich -poor 12 SangKienKinhNghiem.net Based on the rules formed, made of words: Students guess the meaning of new words are formed from the root With this rule not only teachers help students grasp the knowledge, but also expanding vocabulary for students * Work – worker, drive – driver, write – writer, read – reader * Happy – unhappy, formal – informal, patient – impatient, tity – untidy * Like - dislike, lock – unlock, agree – disagree Create situations: Teachers set simple situation, understandable in English, meaning students through situations guess, can imitate, use the word in the context of communication and listening skills forged E.g 1: This is my brother He’s very lazy He gets up late, and he doesn’t anything I say to him, “ Don’t be lazy! Do your homework!” Guess context: the meanings of words in sentences: Eg My school is small There are ten classrooms Lan’s school is big There are nineteen classrooms 5.4 Coordinating multiple techniques in teaching vocabulary In the process of introducing new words the teacher should cooperate with each other techniques Such teachers set up situations in English, students will try and guess the word in context, represented by combined movements, gestures and ask questions students have used that word EX: T: Look: He can tremor T: Now, look at me: I can run (T perform movements "run") T: She can run (run Call pupil) T: Run, tremor Ss: run T: What does it mean Vietnamese? Ss: Run (HS translated into Vietnamese) Measures to combat forgotten (Check vocabulary) through games in Primary students Forgot new words is a common disease in children in primary school Many students complained that despite repeating a new word that a lot of times, even when they feel that but remember new words in class, it's Gone Some researchers suggest that the origin of the information is forgotten because we not use information stored in permanent memory and gradually they disappeared from memory So teachers need to apply knowledge about how the brain stores information to improve the quality of student learning vocabulary 6.1 Make lessons memorable There are many ways to make lessons easy access to the memory of students, such as using pictures; new cages in the context of practical use, enjoyable; tell stories in English with the words that students need to learn Besides, teachers can create conditions for students to use newly learned words that each child's own way to complete the task of learning really useful for them in life 6.2 Create conditions for students are regularly using the words learned The key to successful teaching is repeated in different ways, using different skills To help students remember now is the vocabulary or structure, 13 SangKienKinhNghiem.net we can use a simple repeat fun game, it can dispel the boredom of school hours instead is create an environment fun learning increases students' interest for learning, that they are always willing to participate in class The game aims to consolidate and increase vocabulary for students: * Bingo: Use this game to strengthen memory and comprehension of students This game is appropriate to consolidate on topics such as: The count (Number), alphabet (The Alphabet), the only occupation (Occupation), colors (colors), fruit (Fruit), animals (animals), apparel (clothes), occupation (jobs) * Network :Example fox lion animals cow tiger * Crossword: To test their vocabulary I often get them play crosswords: through images suggested, guess the letters they are looking for, if team crossword guessed correctly will be many winners EX: The body * Matching This is also a very popular activity in the vocabulary lesson, students must match words with its meaning and vice versa, or it may be connected pair of antonyms, singular to plural depending on content or the intention of the teacher * Slap the board + Teachers write new words or attached to the board paintings + Call the two groups on the board, each group of students + Ask the group to stand apart by about equal + The teacher read out an English word + In turn the students in both groups ran to the table, patted or from known paintings + Students belonging to groups doing the right thing and faster then that team scores + The team with the most points is the winner 14 SangKienKinhNghiem.net (With this game, the teacher can read numbers, and some students find themselves back from the corresponding read them) * Jumbled words - Teacher wrote some words with the letters on the board undisturbed - Requires students rearrange the letters into meaningful words idnwy w rcafs s lvsgoe g orpe r hrsti s anirign r * Kim's Game (Teachers can use the pictures with different themes for students to play.)
