A INTRODUCTION I THE REASON: The world is changing faster and faster in the early 21 st century in our everyday life For this reason, the Vietnamese people have to be ware of improving the knowledge and social skills in order to change a developing country into a developed country in the fastest way and we can afford our modern life As you know, English is an international language It is spoken in many corners in the world It is not only the first language of many countries but also the compulsory subject in the schools in all countries in the world So, it is becoming more and more important in modern life In addition, communication is the key to our modern life and it makes the world a small village.A good command of English and great success gained in putting English in action definitely enable you to improve your own status and position in the eye of international friends In order to know how to use modern technology and inventions of the world is very important Therefore, English is the key of the economic policy of each country.For the businessmen circle, English is regarded as the tactic for every potential achievement However, it is the fact that once learning approach has been mix-executed, we probably face bigger challenges in achieving planned goals as a result As a rule, teaching and learning English are interrelated In setting of further global integration, the Vietnamese education has been changing basically and the teachers are very important volunteers They play the role as the guider for students during their English acquisition In the spirit, teacher’s traditional function, known as pure teaching performance, should be taken into consideration There is a demand in integrated teaching approaches in which social or natural science subjects (Literature, Fine arts, Biology, Geography, Civic education are integrated into one subject Base on it, students are taught how to perform information, collection, processing and assessment, thereby well applying acquired knowledge to their real situations of daily life Integrated teaching can be performed in the scope of one unit, one theme, or one certain period in class In the period of this initiative experience, I have made most use of inter-subject knowledge acquired in order to enable students to well deal with improving their knowledge about folk tales, help them to keep the habit of reading Vietnamese folk tales Therefore, the performance of the topic of study on the Period 43 UNIT6: FOLK TALES - Lesson 2: CLOSER LOOK (ENGLISH 8) is in need of inter-subject teaching involved in subjects as follows: * Biology: Educating students not only keep effectively wild animals but also understand the importance of them (Periods: 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 – Chapter- the environment – Biology class 9) * Literature: Students use their literature knowledge to propaganda their classmates or school-mates understand more about folk tales of Viet Nam Moreover, They use languages to propaganda everyone reading them * Fine arts: Guiding students draw some pictures about characters in folk tales and decorate banners to propaganda people about the importance of them Being a teacher in the current situation, I am well aware of greater significance of integrated teaching approaches in dealing with potential problems in each subject, facilitating students to have further understanding of every aspects of the subject involved Integrated teaching helps students bring into full play their own thinking and creativity in knowledge acquisition and application in reality In the sprit I would like to express certain experiences in integrated teaching in the topic: “ Educating students keep reading the folk tales of Viet Nam through integrated teaching period 43 th – Unit 6: A Closer Look -English 8†II THE PURPOSE With this aspect of studying how to Educating students keep reading the folk tales of Viet Nam through integrated teaching period, I’d like to share my little experience innovation with you that will help students to not only know more about the language, but also widen their knowledge about folk tales of our country III OBJECT AND SCOPE OF THE STUDYING OBJECT OF STUDY Objective of study includes twenty-eight students of class 8A at Dong Minh Secondary School, Dong Son District, Thanh Hoa Province SCOPE OF STUDY School year: 2018- 2019 IV RESEARCH METHOD Reading and learning about English materials related to teaching English Investigating, surveying the learning situation of English students From then, applying that methods to produce the most objective results B CONTENT I THEORETICAL BACKGROUND In the current process of national industrialization and modernization, further international integration is of greater significance In the spirit, our State and Party have reaffirmed the policy “Education is National Top Priorityâ€, English has been paid more and more attention and listed in the compulsory educational curriculum In fact, English is open to all learners at any level, but it requires reasonable learning approaches and know- haws for truly great effectiveness, In other words, how to learn English well is an issue of much interest About all, Learning English requires all learners to make ultimate selfmotivation, which drive them to be patient determining specific goals within a certain period of time What is learning English for? Just be well aware of individual goals, like foreign business communication, abroad traveling, tourism, or overseas learning, and so on Once specific goals have been set and determined, best learning English approaches are probably found out The same can be said about English teachers Thus, integrated teaching should be soon taken into consideration, mostly because it enables students to precisely acquire knowledge, skills and positive attitudes, at the same time integrating all of them into real social situations, as well as inspiring them to learn English and lead meaningful lives II PRACTICAL BACKGROUND Teaching and learning English at Dong Minh Secondary School are facing a great number of issues, caused by certain things as follows: STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS A certain number of students and their parents are not clearly aware of English significance As the result, students take little interest in learning English, while their parents pay no attention to their children’s performance at school A contingent of students take no notice of their lessons due to chatting; inattention in teachers’ performance, as well as distraction caused by outersocial factors like online games, social networks and teenager tendencies etc Also, students generally show signs of laziness and poor awareness of selfstudy They frequently forget to review lessons, homework and make preparations for new classes In addition, they fail to balance their interests in their life Many students have lost their English background, that is proven via the outcome of school year beginning placement test TEACHERS Regardless of numerous efforts made during their lessons, namely diversified teaching approaches aimed at further students mobilization, eventual result are to some extent limited Teachers fall to apply their favorite teaching approaches to all lessons It is partly because of overloaded course book content, over-sized classes, poor student background, and poor awareness of self-improvement As the result, teaching English outcome has failed to meet the demands up to now ENGLISH CURRICULUM In spite of its further attraction in content, the English curriculum, in fact, is much more difficult, therefore, acts as a huge challenge to students of poor background Apart from it, English is in close connection with other subjects in the over-all curriculum at secondary school level Thus, it requires learners a certain level of background which ensures them a relatively performance at school In reality, a lot of students fail to keep face with the curriculum and eventually are left behind III THE SOLUTION INTEGRATED TEACHING WITH SUBJECTS In some cases, the allocation of English content in each period is to some extent uneven Some English content can not be dealt with in just forty five minutes as scheduled, time for further practice of grammar points is in fact limited, teachers are forced and raven to adjust their own teaching approaches that are much more in line with such new situation At the same time, new goals are set, as the result, one of new teaching approaches is taken into consideration in my topic, namely English- Biology- literature- Fine Art- Civic Education integrated teaching It is as follows: *ENGLISH: Teaching vocabularies about “FOLK TALESâ€, Introducing some model sentences and structures in the lesson and things students should or shouldn’t to keep available folk tales of Viet Nam Giving the pictures about the folk tales and good and bad characters (Textbook English 8- page 60) * BIOLOGY: Educating students not only keep effectively wild animals but also understand the importance of them (Periods: 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 – Chapter- the environment – Biology class 9) * LITERATURE: Students use their literature knowledge to propaganda their classmates or school-mates understand more about folk tales of Viet Nam Moreover, They use languages to propaganda everyone reading them * FINE ART: Guiding students draw some pictures about characters in folk tales and decorate banners to propaganda people about the importance of them PROCESS OF INTEGRATED TEACHING WARM-UP: Brainstorming: Teacher divide students into six groups and asks them to write some folk tales "Hoang Tu Coc†“Qua bau tien†“Cay tre tram dot†Folk tales “So Dua†“Thanh Giong†“Son Tinh Thuy Tinh†Students work in group and write some folk tales Teacher asks the volunteer of each group to say their answers before the class Teacher asks others to give their opinion, then teacher ticks the folk tales and gives marks to each group PRESENTATION: *VOCABULARY -
