10 PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale Vocabulary is an important language element that link four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing together and makes communication flow smoothly "When our first goal is communication, when we have little of new language at our command, it is lexicon that is crucial The words will make basic communication possible" (Hatch 1983: 74) Reality shows that many students have fairly good knowledge of grammar but are hardly able to express themselves properly because of their deficiency Vocabulary learning, therefore, becomes central to language acquisition, and interest in its role in second language learning has grown rapidly in recent years Specialists now emphasize the need of systematic and principled approach to vocabulary by both the teacher and the learner (Decarrico, 2001; Nation, 1994) One of concerns in vocabulary is how to help students increase their retention of learned vocabulary items Many Vietnamese students experience considerable difficulty retaining English words that they have learnt in the previous lessons Long lists of words noted down from reading texts, listening passages, vocabulary or grammar sections in the text books are limited help to them if they not know how to learn, remember and use these words That most words which have been learned are forgotten soon and then become dead is one of the reasons for students' difficulty in communication, both in oral and written forms To ensure a good communicative task performance, the ground work is to ascertain a good lead-up and preparation or learners' intake of vocabulary So far there has been little empirical evidence about the effectiveness of meaningful practice in vocabulary retention, so whether vocabulary checking technique improves students' Vocabulary Retention during the teaching and learning process is the question that the author tries to answer Retention is defined as "an ability to recall or recognize what has been learnt or experienced; memory" (Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary Oxford University Press, 1992:773) Although I have not founded any definition of vocabulary retention in the literature, I, for the purpose of my study, can define it as the "storage of vocabulary in the memory, which becomes available for use when needed" So retention of vocabulary is ability to recall words that have been learnt or encountered for online communication TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com

60 Introduction The teacher drew a table with squares on the board, then asked learners to make the same tables on their pieces of draft paper Learners would try their best to remember the words they studied in the previous lessons and choose one word to write in each square Then they had to make up two sentences Game using two words from their table After that the teacher told them to take turns to read aloud the sentences Each time a student heard a sentence containing a word in their table, they circled the word The one who had three circled words in a line, either horizontally or vertically or diagonally, called out "bingo" and won the game SLAP THE BOARD source purposes Binh,C.Q (2006) Thiết kế giảng tiếng Anh 10 Hanoi: NXB Ha Noi - Revise new words - Practice listening skill

5* Set the rule: Each number has one question If sts could answer the question, they'd get points If they couldn't answer the question, they lost their chance, and the group could make a correct answer, they'd get points However, the number, were lucky numbers because for each of these numbers, the sts didn't have to answer any question but they still get points In addition, the students also needed to pronounce the word correctly, otherwise, they'd lose 0.5 point At the end of the game, the group with the higher score was the winner Q1: The music of the film is Game Q2: A film that makes you laugh is a Q3: The word of the film is Q4: A film that frightens you is a film Q5: The person who make a film is Q6: The most important actor in a film is Q7: All the people who act in a film are
