To provide teachers and students with full theory of “Articles” in English - To provide students opportunity to practise using articles efficiently - To hope to provide reference materials for teachers or students who intend to master the language of English 1.3 Scope of the Study The objective of the study is articles that are often used articles exercises, including choose the correct articles to complete sentences, fill in blanks with articles, the tests about articles These exercises are collected from a variety of kinds of material sources The study was carried on students in classes 10A3, 10A6, 12A5 and 12A6 at Dang Thai Mai high school 1.4 Method of the Study - Gather the information from the internet and reference books - Teach some classes based on the experience as the result of the reality of the long time process of my daily teaching at school - Asking for experiences from my colleagues - Gather students’results and evaluate (SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english Contents 2.1 Theoretical back ground As mentioned, articles play a vital role in learning English Anyone who does not know them well are not considered as advanced learners Articles mainly occur around the textbook of English 10th,12th and are the main contents of part E - Language Focus in English 10 in unit 13 and English 12 in unit The only way to master them is to learn by heart the uses of articles and to practise them many times This research hopes to be a good material for both teachers and students in their teaching and learning 2.2 Practical basis of the problem Dang Thai Mai high school is one of the high schools in Thanh Hoa province People here are mainly farmers with average and low standards As a result, students have not had much good chance of studying and using English until recently Students (and even their teachers) not have an English environment to practise Learning English here has not still been really important to students and people here Like other high schools in Vietnam, the students in this school have to take English as a compulsory subject in the curriculum and study it three periods a week for 35 weeks a year Therefore, the English teachers have so many difficulties in teaching English Working as a teacher for more than ten years, I myself understand the nature of the problem and usually find it necessary to find out the ways to improve the situation I try my best to this research with a view to getting my students and other teachers to benefit from it by giving them more opportunities to practise and to better their English 2.3 Solutions to the problem After studying the content of the textbooks in English 10 and 12, especially the part E - Language Focus of units 13 and 8, and taking deep investigation into this problem, I have found out some useful measures to deal with this problem Based on the reality of the issue, I would strongly suggest some solution to the problems : - For students who have not mastered grammar, school leaders or teachers need to increase more periods out of the curriculum in school - Teachers need more than an illustration which is accurate, concise and vivid for each grammar trait - For homework, besides asking students to exercises in textbooks, teachers should have available amount of tests related to language focus - Teachers should promote the use of teaching utensils combining with new teaching methods to improve the quality of learning English 2.4 Result after applying the research in teaching The following data is the result of the second term - after applying the research “Guiding the 10th and 12th students how to use articles” of the school year 2019 – 2020 (SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english Ex: Class 10A3 First term Second term Number of students 42 42 Excellent Good (%) 25 % 35% Average (%) Weak (%) 50% 60% 25% 5% From the figure above, we can see that “Guiding students how to use articles” carefully got higher results These force me to try harder and harder to get higher achievements Furthermore, at the beginning of the school year, a large number of students said that they were confused when using articles in exercises But it is a big surprise, according to the survey, at the end of the school year that students feel confident when doing exercises related to articles These show that teaching articles for the 10 th and 12th students complete the article exercises perfectly They feel no fear and confused when use articles Here, I would like to give my strategies to simplify the related lessons in classroom I divide the theme into three main parts: Part A: Theory of articles Part B: Practising exercises with articles Part C: Doing the tests about articles - Part A consists of the definition of articles- definite and indefinite articles, the basic rules for using indefinite articles, the basic rules for using definite articles and the cases we not use articles - Part B gives students a chance to practise some exercises with articles at all levels - Part C tests the understanding of students about articles PART A : THEORY OF ARTICLES The Definition of Articles 1.1 Definition of Articles An article is a word used to modify a noun, which is a person, place, object, or idea Technically, an article is an adjective, which is any word that modifies a noun Usually adjectives modify nouns through description, but articles are used instead to point out or refer to nouns There are two different types of articles that we use in writing and conversation to point out or refer to a noun or group of nouns: definite and indefinite articles 1.2 Definite Article Definite article is the word 'the,' and it refers directly to a specific noun or groups of nouns Ex:  the freckles on my face  the alligator in the pond  the breakfast burrito on my plate Each noun or group of nouns being referred to - in these cases freckles, alligator, and breakfast burrito - is direct and specific (SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com (SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english(SKKN.moi.NHAT).guiding.the.10th.and.12th.form.students.how.to.use.articles.in.english Ex: After the long day, the cup of tea tasted particularly good By using the article “the”, we’ve shown that it was one specific day that was long and one specific cup of tea that tasted good 1.3 Indefinite Articles Indefinite articles are the words 'a' and 'an.'

students understand the lessons well and have a good chance to practise what they have learnt but the teachers themselves benefit from it a lot To achieve this requires the teacher to invest time, effort and intelligence to discover treasures of knowledge It is also necessary for the teachers to select proper methods so that they can promote the students’ proactive ability in learning English There are different methods of teaching English, but the most important thing is that we must use the one that works in a certain situation Actually, various activities in each lesson can help with making students more dynamic and active One important thing I should is implementing task-based teaching Tasks must be varied, challenging and interesting enough to hold students’ interest in communication Tasks must also be relevant to students’ needs, such as their jobs or target situations However, not all students can achieve the desired result because articles are difficult points I myself usually adhere to the principal that it is better if I teach my students essential things and things that motivate students so that they can gain the best result from their teaching Conclusions and recommendations 3.1 General overview and enhancement of the study Learning is a personal journey We are simple guides our students have to the traveling A guide can’t force a tourist to see what he or she doesn’t want to see We organize the environment, but We can not learn for them, Therefore, they have to the learning themselves So the teachers should teach the essential things and prepare interesting lesson plans that motivate students to get the best result Although this is only my private experience as a result of my teaching everyday, I hope it will be beneficial to other teachers and students Beside, it reminds me not to stop learning and studying to find out new teaching methods and interesting activities so that I can achieve the best effects This is my personsal study, so some mistakes are unavoidable I hope to get any comments from kind-hearted colleagues so as that my research will be better

3.2 Suggestions for further studies That research is restricted to articles and the participants in the research were students in grade 12 only , there are certain limitations It’s hoped that the techniques having been mentioned in this report will bring about several benefits in teaching and learning English to teachers and learners To improve the school’s education requires that the School Administrators, organizations are constantly interested in investment of educational facilities such as projectors, laptops, labs, and so on so that the teachers can have opportunities to use up-to-date technologies in teaching Administrative officers of Education and Training at higher level should pay more attention to daily life of teachers, encouraging them timely in their teaching job, especially in scientific research such as teaching aids, innovative experience and higher science study Individually, I hope that in the future at Dang Thai Mai high school there will be more than one class for students who take part in group D or A1( maths, Literature, English, / maths, physics, English) so that English tearchers and students have more chances to master English With my little knowledge and study in reference books, I hope to contribute my little ideas in teaching English at senior high school In process of implementation, there should certainly be errors or omissions, so I am looking forward to receiving your comments on my topic so that I may more and more improve my teaching English Thank you so much The End THE CONFIRMATION OF THE HEADMASTER Quang
