I bravely chose the theme: “ Some experience on how to teach English speaking skill for students in grade 8” to give colleagues references and suggestions for me.. Speaking of importanc

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Reasons to choose theme:

As we all know, English is a dificult subject for most students A teacher wants to teach successfully one lesson, the teacher is required not only to have the technical ability, the social knowledge but also the teacher is required to coordinate the appropriate teaching methods with students’ learning activities The amount of knowledge is more and more advanced, requiring students must try to study as hard as they can Moreover, students are getting master and master this subject, each teacher in the process of instruction must always improve and choose an active teaching method consistent with the student's thinking and abilities

The country is transforming itself in the face of the ever-growing humanity The education sector is also growing to provide the largest, most valuable social resource: Including intellectual resources - human resources of Vietnam, the future owners of the country must be both rosy and professional People who act

in a dynamic, creative way, adapt quickly to the development of science and technology and the relentless transformation of society Each Vietnamese people, each family and the whole society respect the valued education Our Party determines "education is the top national policy" Educational reform plays a critical role in general education Education reform is the foundation, a driving force for industrialization and modernization of the country Let Vietnam step by step firmly on the way to integrate the economy with the world and firmly to the non-stop development of science and technology of humanity Market economy

in the period of opening and integration, English has long been considered an important communication language, it is more important in the trend of economic integration today If students learn English well , they will be able to use the international language to study, communicate and exchange information In my opinion, one of the basic and essential skills for every student is speaking skill

I discovered the practice speaking skill for students is important I want to bring

my knowledge to impart to students and find out teaching methods appropriate to each lesson

After aprocess of exploration, reseach, as well as references from colleagues,

with experience accumulate I bravely chose the theme: “ Some experience on how to teach

English speaking skill for students in grade 8” to give colleagues references and

suggestions for me

1.2 Research purposes theme:

Over the years I have taught English at school in new ways I realized one thing: Most students do not know how to learn foreign languages The use of English in communication is limited They do not dare to communicate with their friends in English Moreover, they are weak in speaking skill To practice speaking effectively, students must be well-trained and practiced speaking to be familiar with the forms of speech.The more you train your speaking skills, the faster you speak and the better your communication

The teaching method as the current innovation primarily focuses more on the creative activeness of the students Most of the time when their communication

is thinking actively practice their English To have a really good lesson, the students have to prepare carefully for homework Furthermore one lesson to learn good oral skills they need to be more prepared, especially vocabulary and grammar knowledge The majority of pupils in schools have conditions to practice speaking English but they are shy shy, underutilized opportunities to speak English That was the purpose of my research for this theme

1.3 Object of studying theme:

- English Classes curriculum 8

- 8th grade students of Sao Vang junior high school

- Research scope: 8th grade students of Sao Vang junior high school

- Range in grade

1.4 Methodological theme:

- Research methods through practical work in English at junior high school

- Research methods through experience, teaches English at junior high school

- Research methods through training through professional training, learning peers, the study documents

2 CONTENT INITIALTIVES EXPERIENCE:

2.1 Rationale of initialtives experiences:

English is an international language, so it is very important to everyone If

we know English we can easily communicate with everyone in the world Currently in Vietnam we attach importance to English, especially in learning and teaching English in new ways Students have the opportunity to communicate with people in English Students easily manipulate them into life A highlight of the program is to create new textbooks maximum opportunities for students to practice skills 4 Speaking as one of the skills development focused in the new methods of teaching foreign languages Speaking of importance because it is the skill that students communicate in English words

2.2 Current status of the problem before applying initialtives experience:

Perhaps none of us deny the importance of English for Vietnam in the period of economic integration, political and cultural world, especially when the speed of globalization is taking place rapidly cool Knowing English helps us more confidence in communication

Otherwise English has become the focus subjects as diverse course but is still difficult subjects and also students who are not gifted to learn English easily In recent years under the old program and textbooks new textbooks new methods

of teaching and learning, many students enjoyed the course, active in learning, but mainly students quite well Subjects many poor students, they have not mastered the knowledge, learning passively, waiting for the outcome of his friends made, many of them are accidental practice speaking in class, afraid to say the wrong, many children not read or write is the most simple sentence patterns, thereby affecting speaking skill On the other hand, most eighth graders face many difficulties in the process of learning English, especially oral skills Often they do not know where to begin telling her how, lack of ideas, lack of knowledge of grammar, vocabulary and lack of sentence structure Moreover, according to the distribution frame of the educational program for new books, each unit pilot lessons taught in 7 more Reading skill paired with speaking skill Thereby making the teacher's teaching and practicing speaking skills of students more difficult

Entering the school year in order to understand the learning situation of pupils of grade 8 Subjects were experimentally studied English at grade 6.7 I did a survey steps early experiences with social situations suggest the following:

- Introduction, making new friends

- Ask about where you live

- Introduction, meet people in the family

- Ask about school teachers and friends

- Ask about hobbies and daily work time

- Ask about the weather, the seasons

- Ask about the distance and transport

* Result of reseach situation.

Student results showed that students’s speaking skill is limited

2.3 Solutions used to solve problems:

a Ideological education:

When actually teach 8th grade English at school, I was always interested in strengthening developing speaking skills for students, as a prerequisite for them

to practice speaking, reading and writing skills can find new subjects they learn

In addition, I also educate them to understand why the Ministry of Education to put the English subject in secondary schools Well the English subject in high school gives students a new communication tool to acquire the scientific knowledge of advanced techniques, learn the culture and rich diversity of the world, ease of integration with the international community Finished junior high school, students need to understand the basics, minimal and relatively systematic practice of modern English Essential understanding of the country and people and culture of an English-speaking country Able to use English as a communication tool at the simplest level, basic, universal form of listening, speaking, reading, writing

In teaching foreign language, speaking skill plays an important role Most students have trouble learning to speak English especially when communicating with foreigners Communication is facilitating motivate us to learn and use a

foreign language most effectively However this goal neglected if only assess language proficiency through knowledge rather than measured by the ability to use language To equip students with and speaking skills to use when communicating, teachers need to organize and facilitate the construction, environmental language to encourage students to participate in activities above grade naturally and effectively Conditions and environmental are expressed through the trenvironmental conditions and this is expressed through language games, through the conversation in order to stimulate the potential and simultaneously encourage and help students so they really think that they are not alone, do not hesitate in using language environment Organization of language games is one of the communication activities in the classroom to help students better study more vivid, bold and confident when speaking English participation

b Good use of technical flexibility in developing speaking skills for students

in grade 8:

Usually a speaking lesson in class was built on the basis of a three-step

process includes: Introduction, practice and application 3-step process above can be understood as follows

Step Introduction: In this step the teacher introduces the situation of speech,

giis us from, the new structure and define the tasks and the time students need to perform

Step practice: Students need to perform these exercises speech exploitation

begins with guided exercises to open more freely exercise

Step apply: Students are encouraged to apply the language knowledge and] f

enrolled in the new social situations or combination of language knowledge learned together.This step is also in training students to shift attention from the form of the language to communicate content Games are often used in English classes to raise academic atmosphere comfortable and lively

+ Organizations working in pairs, groups:

Want to develop spaeking skill, the organization in pairs, groups to practice speaking and drill effective structure, the class should implement the following three steps

-Pre - speaking:

For training to be effective, teachers need to take steps before practice by implementing a process consisting of three elements: how to prepare students -defined purpose and commitment to perform tasks - assign time.( engage – instruct- initiate)

- While - speaking:

Students perform personal tasks before (braistorm) individuals then exchange tasks in pairs to draw the general issue, the pairs are assembled into groups to discuss the results and draw the task common problems of group, group representatives last statement prepared by his group to the class While teacher training students to stand in a certain position in the class (before class - end class - or between classes) or go around the classroom to observe and listen to the operation of the pair , the group takes place, teachers have the opportunity to focus objects help gifted students or less

- P

ost- speaking:

When the time for pairs and groups activities ended Teachers should be held to the pairs, the groups announced the results of operations of the pair, his team, the whole class listening, additional information, correction, to review and evaluate the results of the task performance group Finally the teacher summarizes the current ngjngoon languages, for comment and evaluation work conducted with guaranteed both goals, the steps and the time is not predetermined

+ The objective of the development of speaking skill:

Student-centered Direct exchange with the language spoken at the simplest level, the daily communication situations through the application of basic knowledge of the language of speech, vocabulary, grammar Express your attention in the normal communication situations related to the familiar themes through the use of text language learning function

Pronouncing practice is considered an intimate part of the activities associated

with words in different topics, so please do not introduce disassembled into separate assignments position The pronunciation practice will be conducted with other words such activities with the new teaching from teaching listening and speaking teaching

How to implement it in the specific lessons
