Reading and Writing 1.3 RESEARCH OBJECTS I am teaching English at Son Ha secondary school I am always concerned with your vocabulary So I choose all grades 6,7,8,9 to study the topic with the SangKienKinhNghiem.net aims of improving English teaching method 6,7,8,9 in order to develop vocabulary for students and applying new methods to improve the quality and effectiveness of teaching for the students are in grade 6, 7,8,9 at Son Ha Secondary school 1.4 RESEARCH METHODS TOPICS To carry out his measures effectively, I combines the use of the folklowing measures: Exploitation of scientific information on methods of efective teaching through books,related materials and internet Especially through regular refresher courses Department of Education and Training - Methods of observation: Direct exchange with students in class ,outside of class to find out information - Research methodology product : Through the review, test results and check the process of working teams or group of students in the class - Regular time attendance colleagues : Regularly attend a colleague's time to find out the current status of teaching and learning English vocabulary in secondary school Learn from experience as well as learn methods from colleagues Listen to the opinions of colleagues, draw experience through the hours to select appropriate teaching methods Reference materials on teaching methods: Textbooks, Teachers, Book replacement materials, English language handbook, Lecture design Use the Internet regularly to keep up to date on the latest news SangKienKinhNghiem.net PROBLEM SOLVING 2.1 THEORETICAL BASIS The Ministry of Education and Training has reformed English books in secondary school This program focuses on developing creative thinking, exploration and student dynamics Innovate teaching methods to promote students' activeness, initiative, creativity and self-learning ability This helps them to be able to identify and solve problems in the learning process as well as apply them in real life in a quick and skillful way While learning a foreign language, the vocabulary is the most important part It is the brick that builds the house of language At junior-level in grades 6-7 students had to capture and use a fairly large vocabulary In grade 8.9, most of them have been able to communicate with foreigners To help students remember and use good vocabulary I have applied a variety of test methods such as: Rubout and remember , ordering, matching, jumbled words, wordsquare, gapfill, subsituation, what and where 2.2 THE STATES OF THE RESEARCH TOPIC In the process of teaching and learning English Revising and examining vocabulary as well as vocabulary instruction is an indispensable activity to periods Revising and testing are not just about helping students to remember the meaning of a word, but also helping them to hear and pronounce correctly And apply the word into the language interface The tips in this topic have also been covered in many of the instructional materials taught in English or other experience initiatives However, how to apply these tricks effectively requires teachers to know how to select and organize them effectively, flexibly There is trick that suits for this unit but does not suit for another lesson It also depends on the teaching materials of each lesson as well as the flexibility of the teacher to make each revision activity and check the vocabulary into interesting games to entice students to study and remember words longer Games will be more attractive if teachers teach using PowerPoint presentations 2.3 IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS In order to review and learn vocabulary, students are receptive.Teacher should choose games and tricks that suit each lesson Teacher should organize students to play and learn effectively, creating excitement for students while still sticking to the content and save time, ensure teaching hours In the process of teaching, attending classes, learning experiences, and studying book materials, I noticed a lot of types of games that could fit into the specific textbooks Since then, I have used the games in the revising,testing and teaching vocabulary such as: Bingo, Jumble words, Chain game, Noughts and crosses, Kim’s game, Brainstorming, Categozing, Hidden words, Cross words, Riddles, Guessing Game,Guess the picture, Hangman, Lucky Numbers, Rub out and Remember, SangKienKinhNghiem.net Slap the Board, Matching … Throughout the process, it is clear that the classroom atmosphere is much more vibrant 2.3.1 Play "Jumble words" This game is used to check vocabulary to help students practice new words and spell correctly This cheking technique helps Ss remembering deeply the words they’ve leant.The teacher writes upset letters on the board, asking students to rearrange them properly Students compete between groups, pairs (The winner will be the team that got the job done the best and the soonest.)
