New English textbook 10 and Old English textbook 12 - towards the national examination” as a study with the hope of bettering the quality of teaching and learning English in Upper Secondary school currently as well as building a reference source for teachers in teaching students how to deal with communicative situations kind of test in the national examination The aims of the study This study aims at designing activities for Speaking lessons - New English textbook 10 and Old English textbook 12 - to stimulate students’ interest in speaking lessons and help students practise doing this part of the test “Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the most suitable to complete each of the following exchanges” Subject of the study: Speaking lessons in the New English text book 10 and old English text book 12 Scope of the study: Some activities of teaching speaking skill make students involve in the lessons Time of the study: Academic year: 2019-2020, 2020-2021 skkn Skkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examination Skkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examinationSkkn.exploring.speaking.lessons.new.english.textbook.10.and.old.english.textbook.12.towards.the.national.examination Duty of the study -

of teaching at school, the researcher has obtained some experience in exploring Speaking lessons in the format of Multiple Choice Questions and here are some results: - The number of students contributing to the lessons increases; as a result, the lessons become more and more exciting - Students’ speaking skill improves clearly - Students’ vocabulary increases and they know how to communicate in different situations The average results of the test papers in 2019-2020 as following: Term I: (Average results of test papers) Class Total 12D1 41 12A6 37 Excellent Good (7.9%) (0 %)

PART C CONCLUSION Conclusion: To meet the requirement of teaching Foreign languages generally and English particularly, the teacher should be creative and active in designing the lessons and flexible in carrying out the lessons When so, students will be truly interested in the lessons and improve their skills Effectiveness of the research The findings of the research indicate that a significant number of students have acquired knowledge naturally and lightly The speaking lessons are no longer a burden to them, but a way of stimulating their interest in preparing knowledge for their National Examination In these speaking lessons, students are centered and the teacher is a facilitator or a guide Students themselves discuss, practice communicative situations to gain multiple skills and knowledge including language skills and other skills like group work, communication, presentation and collaboration As a result, lessons become livelier and students are more interested in the lessons and students also have opportunities to explore and discover more knowledge and have more creative opportunities to better apply knowledge to their real lives Limitations of the research Besides the objectives achieved in the current research, the limitation is: to help students be familiar with the national examination, teachers have to design communicative situations This kind of work requires teachers a good knowledge of social life and communicative manners of the native speakers, which is a difficult task for them Suggestions for further study To a teacher, being able to make students love the subject they teach is a success From loving the subject, they will study effectively The researcher hopes that this study will contribute to teaching speaking skills to help students achieve two aims at the same time: using language in a communicative way and preparing for the National Examination The researcher hopes to receive supportive comments and contributions to the source of communicative situations to better the study and build up a more sufficient reference source in the future skkn 36
