II II SOLUTION DESCRIPTION Describe the solution before creating the initiative skkn 1.1 Advantages a To the teacher - Complete the subject tasks with good quality - Although there are objective and subjective conditions that directly affect the teaching process, I know how to overcome the immediate difficulties and gradually improve the quality of English listening lessons to meet the program purposes, new textbooks - Has relatively well approached to use typical teaching techniques, listening techniques and actively with the way of organizing a listening lesson - Flexible coordination of teaching techniques - Using and operating modern teaching equipment to serve the listening teaching process: video cassettes, projectors b To the students - Students have been gradually familiar with the subject of listening - Many students have heard and recognized the voice of native speakers - Most of the students listened to the listening lessons with simple content, just had to fulfill the teacher's requirements and exercises after listening for the 3rd time - Some students have developed skills and techniques in learning 1.2 Limit - Students' motivation to understand English is still limited - Many student have little opportunity to listen, less access to mass information through which they can listen to English - Some student are afraid to listen and speak in English, afraid of making mistakes skkn - Students are not familiar with the speed of reading and speaking in tapes of the British - Teaching aids for teaching are too few Describe the solution after the initiative 2.1 Basic factors that directly affect the effectiveness of listening lessons a Teacher With new and active teaching methods, teachers play the role of directing and controlling students' activities in class To conduct an effective listening lesson, teachers need to well the following basic elements: + Choose and flexibly use listening teaching techniques suitable to each lesson content + Organize and control the class, allocate time reasonably + Proficiently use teaching aids and tools for teaching listening + Create appropriate teaching aids for the lesson + Inspiring, engaging and engaging students b Listening Techniques - Listening Techniques - The method of teaching listening is regulated by the content of listening teaching, in other words, the content of the listening lesson governs the selection and coordinated application of listening teaching methods and techniques Each teaching technique is suitable for a particular form of teaching c The means, equipment, and teaching aids in service of teaching listening - The use of picture equipment to support teaching foreign languages in general and English in particular is considered a means of expressing part of the main content of the textbook In all units of the new textbook program, the content of the listening lesson is recorded on the disc, while the textbook only prints the listening exercises To perform well in these listening exercises, skkn learners must listen to the lesson content on the disc Moreover, teaching equipment is also an active means in innovating teaching methods, motivating and stimulating learning d Student - In the relationship between teaching and learning: The teacher is the organizer and controls the students to gain knowledge by their own manipulations and intellectual actions under the role of organizing and controlling by the teacher In order to teach listening well, students need to have the necessary skills in listening comprehension in English 2.2 Some practical solutions to conduct an effective listening lesson a Plan a listening lesson - For teacher: In order for a lesson to be heard well, the teacher needs to perform the following steps: + Carefully study the content taught from textbooks and teachers' books: Textbooks and textbooks are an important basis for teachers to plan their teaching for the lesson The careful study of textbooks and textbooks will help teachers organize and control listening lessons to the right focus and focus; Allocate time for steps and activities in a scientific manner + Research the purpose and requirements of the lesson: The purpose and requirements of the lesson are the goals that both teachers and students need to achieve after the lesson For listening lessons, usually the purpose and requirements of the lesson are to help students practice and develop skills: Listening (listening), Speaking (speaking), Reading (reading), Writing (writing) (in listening skill is the key), after finishing the listening part, students understand the main content of the listening lesson and some language requirements or exercises + Selecting and coordinating listening teaching techniques flexibly and appropriately: The selection of listening teaching techniques must be determined skkn on the basis of the content of the lesson, the class's characteristics and capabilities, and the students' skills Stages in the process of teaching listening include stages: the stage before listening (Pre-Listening), the stage while listening (While-listening), the practice phase "Post-listening" In each stage, there are specific listening techniques suitable for each stage Make good use of teaching aids and tools for listening lessons: + Using cassettes, computers: Before teaching, it is necessary to prepare a good machine, clear tape and backup batteries in case of power failure Must ensure safety when operating + Using illustrations: mainly picture channels in textbooks, pictures on the Internet suitable for the content of the lesson One of the strengths of the textbooks compiled under the new program is that there are many illustrations Making the most of the pictures in the textbook to help students understand the new lesson is the focus in all lessons + It is necessary to make a reasonable and scientific lesson plan Teachers need to clearly plan their activities, students' activities, time for activities, requirements of each exercise, and student's answer options + Discussing teaching plans The effectiveness of the listening lesson will be enhanced if the teaching plan is discussed with colleagues before teaching this job, which not only brings positive results to the listening lesson but also other skills - For students: The teacher asks students to prepare well for the next class by: + Create system of prompting questions about the lesson they are about to learn so that students have time to think and learn about the material + Ask students to some exercises related to the content of the listening lesson + Encourage and motivate students to confidently, proactively and creatively raise problems and questions related to the content of the lesson b Implement the process of teaching listening well skkn - For a grammar or vocabulary lesson, usually in the course of the lesson there are stages: Presentation - Practice - Production The progress of a listening lesson must also go through stages: Pre - Listening, While Listening, and Post - Listening This teaching process not only helps students understand the lesson, but also helps them use listening skills in real-life communication However, the prerequisite is that teachers need to clearly define the purpose and requirements of each specific listening lesson, thereby orienting students to perform well the task in the next stages + Pre - Listening: (about 10-minutes) (T/F, Prediction, Open Prediction, Ordering, Pre- Questions) This is the stage to help students have orientation, think about the topic or situation before they listen Teachers should create attitude to prepare for the listening test by leading and prompting questions about the listening topic, asking students to look at the pictures, read the words and guess what topic they are about to listen to, who is about to listen talk to Teachers can ask students to work in groups to make preliminary guesses about what they are about to hear through pictures or listening situations Maybe they're not saying exactly what they're about to hear, but the question is whether they're interested before listening Teachers help student anticipate problems with pronunciation or new structures Finally, the teacher clearly tells the students how many times they will be heard and instructs the task requirements when listening (choose true, false, answer the question) + While - Listening: (about 20-minutes) (Selecting, Deliberate Mistakes, Grids, Listen and Draw, Comprehension Questions) This is the stage where students have the opportunity to practice At this stage, the teacher gives the types of exercises, asking students to perform Students can make mistakes at this stage, so teachers should pay attention to correct students' mistakes and give correct answer options The teacher plays the skkn video of the listening lesson to times For the first time, help students familiarize themselves with the listening comprehension and cover the content of the listening passage The second time, listen to the correct information to complete the exercise The third time, listen and check the exercise done The main goal of listening comprehension is that students listen to the main content or get detailed information and understand the author's attitude and point of view Therefore, teachers let students listen to the whole lesson so that they can understand the general idea as well as the structure of the whole lesson and the exercises, then can listen to each passage again to understand the results or listen to difficult places to confirm the answer judgment Should limit students to listen to each sentence, or word by word because doing so will make learners have the habit of having to understand the meaning of each word when listening When practicing listening we should rewind important words and statements to inform the central information content of the listening lesson that students have not understood through two times of listening to the disc Rewind the video where and how many times depends on the difficulty of each specific case I have chosen, used and flexibly coordinated listening teaching methods and techniques to attract and engage students in the content of the listening lesson by means of activities and listening techniques suitable for each stage of a listening lesson It is necessary to create opportunities for students to practice necessary skills while listening such as guessing words, guessing content in context, listening to match information with pictures, listening to fill in information on the board Developing and designing lesson plans for the lesson: Once there are documents and scenarios for the lesson, teachers can proceed to design a detailed lesson plan for the lesson To ensure the time, the content for the lesson, the teacher must create audio files, video files, cut and paste files to suit the content of the design format in the lesson (using the software that movies, change movie formats: video converter, video studio, audio file cutting software (Mp3 cutter) ) skkn boredom in listening lessons Because after listening, they can repeat some of the content they have just heard in many other ways Technique of group division is also quite important in the teaching process Students should have the opportunity to work in diverse groups with many different members Usually, I group them by attendance book, by color, by flowers, by seasons of the year, by month of birth, or by hobby groups so that they can a favorite job together or express the results of the group's work in forms suitable to their strengths For example: Group of Painters, Group of Poets, Group of Orators, Diversify, adjust tasks and exercises to suit students Method 1: Adjust the difficulty of the exercise With the same exercise, I usually adjust the difficulty level of the exercise and give various types of exercises such as word filling, phrase filling, correct answer selection, correct wrong choice, question answer, etc different levels of students Method 2: Additional exercises I usually prepare some extra assignments for the better students because these students usually finish the class work before the weaker students After the students presented, I let all the participating groups contribute comments and additions The teacher records all comments, answers questions, comments, supplements, closes the correct ideas for discussion exercises or evaluates the products of each group, indicates the achieved and unsatisfactory points for students to receive amendments and additions I often praise, encourage, motivate, present groups, and supplement to support each group, each student Thereby, I had the opportunity to share, exchange, learn, and evaluate the students' acquisition of lessons and creative thinking In addition, in some lessons, students prepare their own presentations with Powerpoints, practical videos about volunteer activities that students have done to help student with disabilities, orphanages, green sunday….very touching and skkn meaningful Then, the groups send their preparation to the teacher via email, and present it in front of the class This very meaningful activity inspired all students in the class, boosted the spirit of learning English, made students confident when presenting in front of the class, and encouraged the community spirit of all students Personally, after applying these tips in my teaching, I find that my lessons are more successful My lessons are all highly appreciated by the professional group, the school's pedagogical council The specific results of a lesson are illustrated as follows: English 10: (Textbook) Illustrated lesson plan: Period 68: UNIT 12: LISTENING I
