Building the process of organizing extracurricular activities - Design some English extracurricular activities - Organize some extra-curricular sessions for students Mission: - Study documents related to extracurricular activities - Research documents and facilities for extracurricular activities - Analyze content knowledge of English programs in grades 10-11-12 from which to determine the content of Extracurricular activities Subject of study: System of basic and specialized knowledge of "language skills" in English 1011-12 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com The documents on extracurricular activities in learning, developing communication skills, developing thinking, improving knowledge of the subject as well as society - Methods of designing extracurricular activities in teaching and learning about English reading comprehension, listening, speaking, grammar skills 10, 11 and 12 Object: - English 10, 11 and 12 in high school Research method: - Textbooks of high school level - Use the form of conversation with teachers and students to investigate teaching and learning to attract high school students' excitement as well as the application of extracurricular activities - Conducting research on relevant documents to serve as a theoretical and practical basis for the topic - Find out information on books, newspapers, internet Experimental method of pedagogy: 7.1 Purpose: Pedagogical experiment to test and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of organizing extra-curricular activities for English subjects in teaching and learning English at general level, from which to draw corrective measures suitable to promote the effects of extracurricular activities 7.2 Prepare: - Send content of extracurricular activities to instructors for review and editing Ask for permission from the school and teachers about the experiment 7.3 Object: - I have chosen classes in grade 11: 11a1 and 11a2, Quan Hoa High School Thanh Hoa 7.4 Content: - I conducted extracurricular activities based on knowledge in the standard program with the same content 7.5 Experimental layout: Experimental subjects were divided into two groups: the experimental group was class 11a1 and the control group 11a2 Experimental group: when teaching experiment using extracurricular activities to consolidate knowledge, check old lessons for students Control group: when teaching the control, not use extracurricular activities, but only use common questions to reinforce and check old lessons 7.6 Check: After teaching each lesson, it will test the quality of memorization and the ability of students to apply knowledge of both groups on the same test After that, scoring and comparing and analyzing results between experimental and control groups Purpose of writing experience initiatives: - UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com In order to help students to overcome difficulties in learning foreign languages effectively, I have tried to explore and study the written materials about methods, plus practical experiences in the teaching process I have drawn some interesting experiences in teaching method and created excitement for students about English I hope my experience will be a small document for my colleagues' reference “The lessons are very interesting; the exciting extracurricular activities make students excited to learn English Extracurricular activities are a good opportunity for students to apply English in practice and also an opportunity for teachers to recognize each child's ability in class” With the guideline "Learning is must be used", applying teaching and learning methods applied Because of that, we must create opportunities for students so that they can apply whatever practice they have To attract the children, teachers must prepare activities that have practical meaning and attractiveness Most of our students learn but cannot use it, because they not have a broad vision, they themselves not realize the importance of English for future work PART II: CONTENT Chapter I: LITERATURE OVERVIEW I Research history I.1 Research situation and organization of "Extracurricular activities" in the world Every year, of the more than 30,000 student applications submitted to each of the top universities such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UCLA, nearly half of them have achieved excellent TOEFL, SAT, and academic average scores So how does the admissions committee select the most deserving students? After scores are checked, the admissions committee will read students' essays, interviews, and extracurricular activities With either of the two required essays, students must write about the meaning and influence of their personality and dreams If the scores were predictable due to the fact that each school publishes its average student admissions, these essays and extracurricular activities are considered to be the "hardest" to predict But to really put weight on these activities in essays and interviews, the following factors need to be achieved: - Students' enthusiasm and passion - The maturity and character development of students through each challenging journey of the activity - Leadership quality, dynamic, brave to promote your own ideas and teamwork - The long-term, persistent commitment of students to grow and contribute to each activity I.2 Research situation and organization of "Extracurricular activities" in Vietnam Extracurricular activities play an important role in reinforcing knowledge, adding skills and life experiences to students, helping students UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com become holistic people However, over the past years, extracurricular activities in high schools have not yielded high results The reason is that extracurricular activities in high schools are still not attractive and lively, the concept is still heavy on internal activities, and light on extracurricular activities This is often seen as a recreational activity Most are organized in the form of a cultural program, inconsistent on the topic, and little attention is paid to the content of the subject's learning Teachers are often the ones who always focus on their professional work Therefore, experience in organizing extracurricular activities is still limited, the content and form of extracurricular activities are repeated again and again, students are boring, less participant, and effective outside activities high The facilities of some high schools are in short supply, the area is small , does not meet the needs of extracurricular activities, so many schools have to say no to extracurricular activities for students Despite knowing that the need for extracurricular activities is extremely urgent, students enjoy it very much Reality requires the school to establish clubs, especially specialized clubs of each team to attract students to join Thereby, students can explore their abilities in many subjects, many fields and then choose their favorite subject In addition to the extracurricular educational activities which are conducted each month of the year, the Moet should include small activities in program distribution into one large activity and in particular this should be considered an activity annual, in the professional management at high schools In this way, extracurricular activities in high schools can be maintained regularly and effectively II Theoretical basis of the topic II.1 Learning 'Extracurricular activities' In order to improve the teaching quality of the subject, recently, on research forums, conferences, seminars, people have discussed a lot about the issue of innovative teaching methods The pressing concern for those who directly teach at high schools is how to promote students' creative initiative, improve the effectiveness of aesthetic education, and arouse passion and excitement learning subjects in the present situation To deal with the above situation, it is necessary to combine innovative teaching methods in both formal and extracurricular activities, but first of all, there must be a correct concept of the importance and meaning of extracurricular activities Extracurricular activities under the concept of innovative teaching methods is a form of active, useful and effective self-study, connecting the podium with real life, expanding, extending the school of thinking - evaluation about lessons for students; promote the activeness and creativity of learners, recheck the quality of teaching in regular hours Extracurricular activities, therefore, are both educational and aesthetic activities, "Contributing to creating a cultural lifestyle and the ability to enjoy cultural arts for students Through extracurricular activities, students develop a balanced intellectual, ethical, UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com physical education and aesthetic appeal "(Phan Trong Comment, Teaching Methodology National University Publishing House 1996, page 381) II.2 Effects of extracurricular activities Through outdoor games and group discussions, students will practice leadership skills, including vision and goal skills, team motivation, project planning, and intentions Patience to overcome challenges More importantly, the sharing sessions of the siblings about how to pursue and create extracurricular activities will help students after the shaping program start their own activities from Therefore, while a parent or student may find extracurricular activities, if the above factors are not met, it will be difficult for the student to be “special” to his or her abilities Following up the process of renewing teaching methods in high schools in recent years, the innovative content often focuses on regular hours, while the extra-curricular form is less focused on implementation Is the student's afterschool activities unimportant, and does not play a role in improving the quality of teaching and learning the subject? It is time to redefine the position and role of extracurricular activities, highly promote creativity, dynamism and interest of students II.3 Theoretical basis Foreign language is one of the language skills in communicating Like the skills to learn Vietnamese when you were a child, because the language that is absorbed through listening is speech Learning from the lessons in the textbook for a year will be boring and stressful When teaching the content in textbooks, teachers often have to logically follow the order of the curriculum content, orderly as prescribed by the Ministry of Education; Teaching and learning between teachers and students is repeated throughout the school year To create a new atmosphere, a new space, we must change the space and time for them, so that they have the opportunity to think freely, out of the pressure of learning.That's why I have boldly created some extra-curricular lessons in one semester Extracurricular lessons by teachers take the initiative in time and space for students, depending on the convenient location of the school Furthermore, when participating in the extracurricular course, they will help them be more active and bolder Just doing it 2-3 times per semester also helps students enjoy learning English, giving them a chance to apply what they have gained in class Therefore, when teaching foreign languages, in addition to general tips that apply to receptive skills, teachers also need to have specific tips for students' extracurricular activities To have a quality extracurricular activity, teachers need to implement the following basic teaching tips: II.3.1 Clearly defined for students to understand English language extracurricular learning Why is learning English so difficult? UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Conduct in three phases: before, during and after the extracurricular activities Divide the process into steps: for example, watching a video clip depending on the topic, I divided the process into three parts + Discuss main ideas, answer instructional questions, compare predictions + See details of that video + Discuss as per my request about the clip just about - Elicit the differences in answers of pairs and groups and compare the results and discuss after responses - Ensuring the quality of the meeting + Radio tapes, projectors with good quality images + Teachers operate with average speed, correct pronunciation, and detailed instructions II.3.3 Types of extracurricular activities If you control your time and have the right study method, you'll have time for very engaging extra-curricular Participating in these activities will help you discover yourself, discover qualities other than the intelligence of learning So, if you have never participated, now is the time to throw yourself out there and discover yourself Even if not for the purpose of studying abroad, these activities will also help you a lot in life Here are some suggestions for extracurricular activities and activities that you can join Form 1: Game activity: You can participate in a game "do as I say", a friend or teacher sings or says some commands (in English), the rest of the members will act on the content of the lyrics or commandment… There is not necessarily an achievement or a certificate of merit So you can arrange stress-free practice time in accordance with your study schedule - Game illustration photo Form 2: Musical activities: You have the talent of singing, playing musical instruments or break dance, classical dance and have performed in front of school or in gala UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com dinners Art activities are often very rich and not require you must have extraordinary talent For example, participating in singing in entertainment shows does not require you to have the golden voice of the singer, as long as you have confidence to go on stage Or the break dance performances don't have to be of a professional level, practice with your friends to perform or just practice Artwork illustration photo Form 3: Organizational activities - Leadership: You are class president, deputy class secretary, school union secretary, class secretary These are convincing personal titles for your leadership ability However, it is not necessary to have a "title" for you to be an active person, a leader You can participate in school union work, organize gala dinner, exchange programs between class, grade in front of the school…… These organized jobs train you to work with a plan, accountability, and ability to work in teams So, don't just join the fun, be the ones creating the fun Illustration of group activities Form 4: UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Talent: You are good at design, you learned to draw from a young age, you learned vocal, you played musical instruments (guitar, piano, violin ) very well, …… These special talents distinguish you from other “applicants” With these talents, it will be very easy for you to "contribute to the campus" of your school in the future Artwork talent activities Form 5: Club activities with projects (projects) The advantages that the English club brings to members with the same passion and aspiration have been recognized by many schools and organizations Within high schools in mountainous districts, clubs are a place for students to have the opportunity to realize the experiences of festivals and cultural characteristics of the country…… Club activities are runways for students to perform in English with cultural plays, literary works, and festival costumes An important part of the club's activities is the presentation of environmental, technology, and science fiction projects Things that when teaching in class, teachers are difficult to apply widely The activity that the club members are excited to participate in is to help foreign tourists better understand the homeland and the life of the people through the coffee exchanges or practice orientation tour guide, Gradually overcome difficulties and create such a learning environment by themselves, the effectiveness of learning English will definitely improve UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Illustration of club activities II.3.4 Basic requirements when designing extracurricular activities - Requirements in accordance with the textbook program - Requirements are tailored to the target audience - Requirements are convenient and useful - Language requirements Chapter II FACILITIES OF SUBJECTS Advantages: With the current technology development era, children are exposed to the mass media more and more Many English learning centers or apps both online and offline are opened to serve the needs of Vietnamese people to learn English The Ministry of Education has organized many national competitions such as National English Proficiency Exam, English Olympics on the Internet (IOE), English Olympic Competition (EO), TOEFL Challenge English Contest , TOEFL Junior Challenge, Olympic English for Students - Students nationwide created a useful and attractive playground to help students become more and more interested in this subject The team of teachers who are enthusiastic in the career of teaching and teaching, always looking for creativity, find positive teaching methods and suitable for students' levels and thinking Difficulties: Our students have yet to realize the practical meaning of Foreign Language That is the reason why they feel that foreign languages are not important, so they not need to try and gradually accumulate too much lack of knowledge leading to the thought: "English is a difficult subject" Understanding these concerns, it is our teachers who fix and orient them so that they can fix and promptly supplement the gaps in knowledge To that, I have applied a few extracurricular activities methods to motivate students to get excited about English subjects Teachers often not follow the methods of English subject, due to a number of reasons such as: lack of facilities in some schools, unevenness, poor quality 10 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com tapes or no tapes, lack of outlets In the classroom, at the end of the term, at the end of the year, there is no listening or speaking test The nature of extracurricular activities is that it takes time, large space, materials to study Therefore, some schools not have the conditions of time, space, and material just say "No "with extracurricular activities There are still many schools, which despise extracurricular activities that only focus on students' learning of culture Some schools make extracurricular activities too wasteful Chapter III PERIOD STAGES OF EXCELLENT-COURSE ACTIVITIES To make the extracurricular activities more appealing, I have prepared for myself many different ways to change the active content For example: Watching a movie, listening to music, watching a talent show on British television, or playing the characters in a story of your choice I would like to present a genre of is watching talent shows in the UK Introduction a) Introducing new vocabulary As I have stated above, it is not necessary to introduce all the new words before learning They can develop listening, speaking, and reading skills by practicing word meanings through pictures of videos Only words that are difficult for students to understand the content of the text should be discussed first b) Prepare students to see, think about what to expect, organize, predict Complete the exercises before watching a short movie, or a program in English However, this is an extracurricular activity period, we should not apply the types of exercises as in textbooks because that will be the reason for the boredom for students Viewing process Students focus on viewing details to complete requirements Open the video 2-3 times, ask students to view details, the types of exercises as required by the teacher, such as: The types of exercises are: + Choose right and wrong sentences (Defining T - F) Teacher assigns to correct and false sentences on a small piece of paper to hand out to each designated group about the main idea of the video + Answer questions (Answer the comprehension question) Teacher gives several questions that contain the main idea of the video to focus the students' attention while listening The students not have to guess the answer After listening to the question one time, ask them to answer + Fill in the blank information (Filling in the gap, chart) Teachers prepare handouts for students in groups, so that students can get key information while watching the video + Find error of information (Liberate mistake) After watching the movie 11 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com Teachers can choose many different forms for students to practice: changing information, raising personal opinions, raising similar issues for students to relate to themselves, maybe holding a talent contest in class to repractice the languages they watched… The activity could be: a) Recall the story: Have students tell in their own language Teachers can help students with small suggestions such as pictures and simple sentences b) Write it up: Ask students to write down audible and viewable information in their own language, using information in that context c) Roll-story: Students play a character in the video they just watched d) Discussion: Discuss the issue in a pair-group lesson Above are some extracurricular tips to practice and improve the sense of learning English for students The design of extracurricular activities to provide effective foundation and reinforcement for students If we perform well the methods and tricks, we will gradually overcome the teaching, attracting students' interest in foreign languages Illustrative class (The phases of an extracurricular activity session) I Purpose (Aim): - Practice listening skills to get main information - Practice life skills - Practice practical application skills Students watch a video about the talent show and fulfill the teacher's requirements II Stage of teaching 1) Before watching the movie - Teacher introduces the topic: We will watch a video of UK talent competitions On that basis, teachers let students guess the meanings of some important words Illustration photo video of UK talent competitions - Teacher can ask guessing questions before watching the video: 12 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com The teacher asks a few discussion questions in English or Vietnamese depending on the level of the question and the student's academic performance to help students gain some vocabulary while watching the clip For example: This is a talent contest, so according to them, “What talent will everyone compete? "How many are there the judges?", “Who will take part in the competition?”.… teacher will support vocabularies in questions and answers + Teacher asks students to work in pairs and guess the answer + Teacher writes students' answers on the board 2) During viewing The first time: Students watch a movie and check their prediction - Ask the student: "Can you name kind of competition?" Teacher asks students to watch the clip and pay attention to how the contestant communicates with the judges This is an “information-led function function” - Asking for information: To ask for unknown information, we use different types of questions to collect different information Do you like this programe? What you feel like in this talent’s competiton? Yes, I like it very much Everyone can take part in this programe Checking information Common verbal actions in social relationships include: greeting and introducing, Leaving and saying goodbye, complimenting and congratulating, thanking, apologizing, and expressing sympathy Video dialogue 06: The Judge: Hello How are you? Boy: Hello I’m good How are you? The Judge: I’m nervous very good to be nervous Thank you What’s your name? Boy: My name is Christ revoir Dino The Judge: And Christian, how old are you?

Students have conditions to practice in pairs of "pair work" and in groups "groupwork" -With the audio-visual view a few times, students can grasp the main information of the lesson and develop other secondary skills such as: skimming, reasoning and guessing ability, response practical use in communication, after study can be used immediately - Students are more lively now, students can participate in many different activities - Teachers can easily help students who are lazy to learn English - Students can practice all skills, especially listening and speaking skills Reading skills are demonstrated through doing exercises Writing skills are demonstrated through writing and presenting the results of exercises -With teaching an extra-curricular period according to the above method, students' results in the main lessons have also improved See the excitement for this subject Table of frequency distribution by student's level ranking through tests Exam Method Experimenta l Control Experiment l Control PART IV CONCLUDE Conclusion Through 13 years of teaching at Quan Hoa High School - a high mountainous school in Thanh Hoa, where the input quality is low, students are not eager to study while the people's lives are still poor I want to change something by my strength for the benefit of the students and the people of Quan Hoa I understand that changing people's consciousness is extremely difficult, and in order to change students' sense of learning, the teacher must first change his teaching method and form I have gradually changed teaching activities, delegated the initiative to them, and stimulated the curiosity to learn knowledge in each student I always associate teaching with the everyday life of students, I boldly combine internal teaching with interesting and useful extracurricular activities to increase interest in learning for students The organization of extracurricular activities is one of the necessary changes in teaching This is not an activity that can be applied in all programs of the program, but it has a huge effect on increasing students' interest in the 15 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com subject English lessons will become exciting, attractive, exciting, and expected to discover new knowledge And when you have learned well, see the lesson close to everyday life, it is very natural to apply knowledge to serve life Organizing extracurricular activities in English teaching requires teachers to be persistent, diligent to explore, must have professional enthusiasm Moreover, for students in a mountainous school, mainly ethnic minorities whose life is difficult, the level of knowledge acquisition is still slow, the teacher has to really "be addicted to the job" making lessons easy to understand, remember, and "fun to learn" By doing so, they will have motivation, interest in learning and educational effectiveness will be enhanced Recommendation In order to organize extracurricular activities in English teaching, it is necessary to have assistance with sound, loudspeakers, information technology facilities, especially projectors At Quan Hoa High School, there are only classrooms installed with projectors, so I expect the attention of all levels and branches for the school's facilities Extracurricular activities in English teaching will be more effective if the consent and coordination of the student's parents help them bring knowledge into practical life to apply right in each family …, locally, makes knowledge accessible to students So, I wish to receive the attention of the school administrators and the companionship of the Parents and Students' association to make more extracurricular sessions with higher results Above are very small experiences that I have drawn from the teaching process at the mountainous high school of Quan Hoa, I would like to share with my colleagues Despite many efforts, but certainly not avoid errors I hope to receive comments from the school administrators, colleagues for me to supplement, learn from experience, continue to dedicate to the mountain education career CERTIFIED BY THE PRINCIPAL Thanh Hoa, May 4, 2021 (XÁC NHẬN CỦA HIỆU TRƯỞNG) I hereby guarantee this is my ideas and experiences writing, not copying the content of others Writer Lê Thị Quyên 16 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com References (Phan Trong Comment, Teaching Methodology National University Publishing House 1996, page 381) Celce-Murcia M 2001 Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language (3rd ed) USA: Heinle&Heinle Chaney, A.L., and T.L Burk 1998 Teaching Oral Communication in Grades K-8 Boston: Allyn&Bacon Baruah, T.C 1991 The English Teacher's Handbook Delhi: Sterling Publishing House Brown, G and G Yule 1983 Teaching the Spoken Language Cambridge: Cambridge University Press Harmer, J 1984 The Practice of English Language Teaching London: Longman McDonough, J and C Shaw 2003 Materials and Methods in ELT: a teacher’s guide Malden, MA; Oxford: Blackwell Nunan, D., 2003 Practical English Language Teaching NY:McGraw-Hill Staab, C 1992 Oral language for today's classroom Markham, ON: Pippin Publishing 10 web Youtube, link: British’s got talent 17 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com DANH MỤC CÁC ĐỀ TÀI SÁNG KIẾN KINH NGHIỆM ĐÃ ĐƯỢC HỘI ĐỒNG ĐÁNH GIÁ XẾP LOẠI CẤP SỞ GD&ĐT Họ tên tác giả: LÊ THỊ QUYÊN Chức vụ đơn vị công tác: Trường THPT Quan Hóa TT Tên đề tài SKKN “Một số biện pháp giúp lớp đạt thành tích nề nếp tốt học tập tốt trường THPT khu vực miền núi” 18 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com APPENDIX Tests used in Illustrative class Question 1: Listen and fill in the blanks with an appropriate word The Judge: Hello How are you?
