“Applying some games for warming -up activities in speaking lessons in English 11 ”

PART ONE : INTRODUCTION

1 Rationale of the study.

Nowadays, English is the most popular language in the world As an effective means of international communication, it is used as the official language in many fields of life such as economics, politics, science, technology, sports and many others This leads to an increasing demand of learning English There are more and more people who learn English and consider it as an inevitable factor in their work and life

Today society is growing, learning, acquire, acquire human knowledge is

an urgent need of each individual To help people be accessible with abundant knowledge, English is an indispensable means Therefore, learning English is increasingly social concern, especially for the younger generation How to study and teach English effectively is always a big question to both teachers and students The knowledge introduced in the textbook is what all students have to exploit and receive However, if the teacher teaches directly the lessons, students will feel passive and they cannot define what they are going to study because the fact that English is too difficult for them

To help students prepare mental sense well before going to the new lessons and become more active during the lessons Recognizing the importance of

speaking, I decide on choosing “Applying some games for warming -up activities in speaking lessons in English 11 ”

2 Aims of the study

The specific aims of the study are as follows:

Trang 4

- Clarifying the nature of warming -up activities in speaking lessons in accordance with some important points in teaching this skill

- Investigating the present situation of teaching and learning speaking of the 11th form students to find out advantages as well as problems facing both teachers and students in speaking lessons

- Suggesting useful techniques to motivate the speaking skills

in the warming -up activities

3 Scope of the study

Due to the limitation, all the techniques suggested are used in the speaking skills in the warming –up stage And the object of this study is the

11th form students

4 Methods of the study

To implement this study, the following methods are used:

- Consulting related materials: For the sake of getting

knowledge and useful ideas, I read many books and other materials in addition to earlier researches about how to motivate students by warming up and teaching speaking

- Delivering survey questionnaire and observing speaking lessons: To fulfill this study, two survey questionnaires, one for students

and another for teachers and some speaking class observations were carried out to find out the teachers’ and students’ attitudes toward teaching and learning speaking as well as their working methods

PART TWO : CONTENTS

Part 1 : Theoretical basis

1.1 What is meant by speaking skill?

Trang 5

Speaking is described as an interactive process of constructing meaning

that involves producing and receiving and processing information Speaking depends on the context or the situation, Context includes the physical environment, the purposes for speaking is more often spontaneous, open ended, and evolving Speaking requires learners to not only know how to produce specific points of language such as grammar, pronunciation, or vocabulary but also that they understand when, where, why and in what

ways to produce language.[5]

1.2 What is the game in teaching English?

Games help and encourage many learners to sustain their interest and work.''Games also help the teacher to create contexts in which the language

is useful and meaningful The learners want to take part and in order to do so must understand what others are saying or have written, and they must speak

or write in order to express their own point of view or give information

1.3 Ideas for warm up activities

A warm up activity is a short, fun game which a teacher or trainer can use with students The purpose of a warm up is to encourage the students, wake them up – first thing in the morning and after lunch people are often a little sleepy, prepare them to learn by stimulating their minds and/or their bodies Warm ups should last about 5 minutes Warm ups are particularly useful to help new students or trainees to get to know each other, to mark the shift when students have finished learning about one topic before starting on

a new topic Warm up activities are essential teaching techniques for good teacher and trainers

Part 2 : Some problems before applying games for warm- up

Trang 6

Teaching English at Quang Xuong 1 for many years, I have noticed poor students in this course so much, only a few students can speak fluently Through practice I found that one of the reasons that the number of poor students due to the fact that families are difficult, learning conditions are limited, they do not have dictionaries, reference books, video tapes of machine support for the children the skills of listening, speaking, practice more, and poor conditions from the school have affected the quality of their learning But the major cause is that they they don’t feel interested in the subject, that subject is difficult, they do not have to communicate daily environment so they forget , which leads to slow acquisition, unequal power

in school It is from this fact, in order to promote, encourage and stimulate the desire of the students believe that every teacher should study and apply the game to fit with the lesson content, contributing to the direction students

in the lesson content and the desire to learn English To do it well, every teacher needs to understand the role of the game, that is:

- Create a relaxed atmosphere in the class

- Supporting effective in creating excitement, interest in learning, comfort in every class

- Supports the student's brain

- Assist in review from a new set of questions

- Assist in training students' speaking skills

- Means of instructions, suggested by questions and answers between

teachers and students towards the theme of the lesson.[4]

for warm –up activites in some speaking lessons

Trang 8

2 Type of games for warming-up activities in teaching speaking skill

Students of English often lack confidence when speaking due to the language's irregular pronunciation rules Practicing often can help to build both the learners' confidence and competency in speaking English Using games which require verbal responses in the classroom is an effective way

of developing spoken language skills There are some games that are used

in teaching speaking skill:

Sorting, ordering or arranging games, Information gap game, Guessing games, Matching games, Labeling games, Puzzle-solving games, Role play games…
