How to attract students to focus on learning is a matter that requires educators, dedicated teachers, professionally trained teachers, always strive to plan, Program, form, method improvement to teach and learn better, improve the quality and efectiveness of education Most of the students not pay attention and invest in foreign language, prepare the paper skillfully, coping while they study very weak subjects Since then, some children have a mentally retarded subject English During school hours, most students are passive, lack flexibility, afraid of reading and speaking English, learning the lesson receptively Research subjects: Primary students are children, their level of awareness is low, the quality of learning is not synchronized In addition, students often only learn in a school orally and read less books suitable for ages to expand the supplement, improve knowledge At the same time these are the first years to get acquainted with a foreign language, while still a large number of students have not learned their mother tongue Addition, elementary English is optional, so students and even parents are not interested in the subject, so they only invest in their children to improve their Maths Literature, Vietnamese Although elementary English is considered a core course, this is the second academic year But, it has a significant beginning in the next school year at level II Therefore it plays a role in the learning process of the children It equips them with vocabulary, Grammar and the minimum, basic, and simplest form of the subject is very familiar, familiar and familiar, which is the subject of the introduction of yourself, the subject of school friends Family points, and other themes (the world around them) That is why it is extremely important to motivate and empower students Because this greatly affects the motivation of a student's learning, a fundamental factor in learning a language: No young motivations will not learn - and the reinforcement of knowledge will deepen it More than the lessons learned in the classroom systematically, laying a solid foundation to help children learn better, confident in the learning process later Research Methods: It is not an easy matter to get the best quality of your subject So how you develop and develop your most comprehensive learning skill? How you love, deepen foreign cultural knowledge? In a way that helps students to hold the lessons without being boring, must be really attractive, creating a pleasant atmosphere comfortable in class, to excite students when they acquire foreign culture that they themselves not knowing anything All the games, TV shows, if asked: "Please name the game, TV show that you know?" They will answer quickly: "The voice Kids" "I know perfectly", "Oh, my niece," "Laughter House”… Because this is the most loyal audiences We all know any language in the world, want to communicate with it, requires us to have a vocabulary because vocabulary is an indispensable component in the language In English, we can not practice and develop students' four skills languages are provided such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills without relying on vocabulary Indeed, without the necessary vocabulary, the children will not hear and the consequence is that they will not speak, read or write, nor will they write, even if they have mastered the sentence patterns Therefore, helping students master for the vocabulary they have learned to apply to the training of skills is very important to me, and I decided to the article: "Some experiences of teaching vocabulary for Elementary school through content the lesson” B CONTENT OF THE EXPERINCE INTIATVE Justification: As we all know, the 2016 - 2017 school year is the next school year in the education sector that conducts the campaign "Two No" with four themes to improve the quality of education In primary school, teachers teach different subjects on the basis of equipping the students with the necessary skills and skills to train the knowledgeable, Practical, dynamic and creative skills With the goal of general education is to "Help students develop holistic, ethical, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and basic skills, develop personal ability, dynamism and creativity, shape To become a socialist human being, to build civic character and responsibility, to prepare students for higher education or to enter into working life, participate in the construction and protection country" The general education program promulgated in conjunction with the Decision No 16/2006/QĐ-BGDĐT dated May 05, 2006 of the Minister of Education and Training also stated: "It must promote positive, Students 'initiative and creativity, suitable with subject characteristics, student characteristics, conditions for each class, fostering students' self-learning method, cooperation ability, training skills Use knowledge in practice, affect emotions, bring joy, excitement and responsibility for learning for students A fun and creative way to learn English, helps you remember the longer standing English vocabulary To be good at English, you have to incorporate a lot of different skills and factors One of them is equipped with a "monumental" However, learning vocabulary that is ancient to anyone (even indigenous people) is not easy In any language, the role of the vocabulary is very important One can see that a language is a collection of words Can not understand language without understanding vocabulary, or through vocabulary units But that does not mean that you only understand individual lexical units that are independent of each other but can only master the language through dialectical relationships between vocabulary units The "quick learn English vocabulary tips" will give you quickly Current status of the problem a Benifits: - Local authorities and unions inside and outside the school always support teachers during the work Subject teachers themselves always receive the support of teachers from their professional groups and colleagues - Most of the students in the class love to learn English and prepare good books for learning - The majority of parents are always interested in and help their children learn b Difficulty: - Most of them not have effective vocabulary learning methods It is also very difficult for parents to check or guide their children to learn at home by their foreign langue,not all parents know - Some students are mostly male students are distracted and less interested in learning as well as learn vocabulary - Some students not have time to study at home because they have to help their parents to housework outside school hours, many families are also very economical, so they want to buy a book to study It is hard to talk about reference books to raise capital beyond the vocabulary textbooks provide - They are less likely to communicate in English and they are also afraid to communicate in English outside school C Reality: * Survey: In order to bring into play the positive dynamics of students' creativity in learning, we need to organize the teaching process in the direction of activating the learner's activity, in the course of teaching and learning, the teacher is only The person who transmits knowledge to students who want to acquire such knowledge, they must learn by themselves The main method of teaching our language is mainstreaming, meaning that new words need to be taught in context, context can be a reading, a conversation or a text However, at the end of the day, teaching and learning foreign languages is still the way to teach new words like? Teach new sentence structures how students know Usage of new words and new structure in foreign language communication According to the survey shows that if we apply the old method to teach from the new students to post the slower the ability to remember words harder and forget biologically passive compulsory students are not interested This leads to poor quality of the course - Use the form sentence learned or going to learn to introduce new words - Use pictures, visual tool to introduce new words - Ensure students understand the structure, apply vocabulary to the structure to improve communication function, establish the relationship between new structure and capital words have Measures to Proceed the problem: According to psychologists in elementary school when the new word is English wants to read from it, awareness and sensitivity, but the fact that they are easy to forget the words, easily bored with the lesson Therefore, the teaching of foreign teachers want all quality items to use photos or images, some images are collected, the specific expression of life, the students will actively collected detailed in lessons - Teachers teaching innovation methods in teaching process, positive perceptions of student activities, promote positive student learning - Use teaching methods tectonic standpoint, helping students to acquire knowledge naturally, comfortable foreign language enthusiast - Interested in teaching methods and fostering self - learning capability of students who are serious about fostering knowledge and skills training - Closely coordinate individual efforts in learning languages, foreign languages Some of ways to help teacher teaching new words - Objectives and characteristics to be achieved in the introduction of new words Select words to teach: English is an important subject, it is a tool to communicate with countries around the world To communicate well requires us to have a rich vocabulary In today's general environment, when it comes to vocabulary, grammatical and lexical vocabulary, vocabulary and grammar are closely related, always taught together to clarify meaning Together, However, teaching and introducing vocabulary is a matter of course Usually in a lesson there are always new words, but not all new words need to be taught To select words to teach, the teacher should consider the following: - Active vocabulary - Passive vocabulary We all know how to teach these two words differently Autonomous It involves four skills ( - reading – writing ) For this kind of word teachers need to invest time to introduce and guide students to practice more than they can With passive words the teacher just stops at the recognition level, no need to invest time in the application activities The teacher needs to know and decide which word will be taught as an active word and a word as a passive word When teaching new words, it is necessary to clarify three basic elements of the langue + Form + Meaning + Use For proactive words to teach students literacy and definition as dictionaries are not enough, so that students know how to use them in communication, teachers need students to know how to pronounce, not just words Odd, but also know the correct pronunciation of words in the chain of words, especially the meaning of words - The number of words to teach in the lesson depends on the content and the level of the student Never teach all new words, as there will not be enough time to perform other activities However, in a lesson you should only teach a maximum of six words While choosing words to teach, you should consider the following two conditions: - If the word is necessary for understanding the text and is appropriate for the student's level, then it is positive, so you must teach the student If the word is necessary for the understanding of the text but difficult for a student, It is not an active word, so you should explain it to the student If the word is not necessary for understanding the text and is not difficult, then you should ask students to guess the meaning of the word Open tricks introduces new words: Teachers can use some introductory tips to introduce new words, helping students to from an active way such as: Have students look at pictures to see, helping teachers to teach words, Teachers should collect real objects to learn in order to illustrate their lectures *Situation Explanation: Use situations and explain to students to capture new words effectively Teachers can present some situations for students to make their own guesses * Example: Give specific examples that relate to the curious student's intrigue and appeal to students - Teachers use already learned words to help students understand the meaning of the word they are about to learn "The teacher may ask the student to guess his or her own meaning from the previous words Ex: Tall/short/thin/fat/young/old/beautiful T Ask: What’s another word for nice? Ss answer: "beautiful, pretty.” Teachers use equivalent words in Vietnamese to provide meaning in English The teacher only uses this procedure when there is no other way, this trick is 10 often used to teach abstract words, or to solve a large number of words but time is not allowed, teachers suggest students Self – translation from there True or False statements The teacher provides a number of questions and asks students to choose the best answer that relates to the word they are about to learn Tips for checking and reiforcing new words: After the vocabulary has been taught the teacher needs to organize the student to practice, to practice regularly the words he / she has learned, and always have the forms to check that the student has understood correctly to not take the time to take supplement lessons horn This process is a regular and long-term process, not necessarily happening in a period However, there are also overemphasis exercises specific to the study of words Can imagine the process of teaching and learning from the following four stages Introduced from: - Practice - Check - Strength training We know that only introducing new words is not enough, but we also have to take steps to check and consolidate new words in the classroom Testing and reinforcement will encourage students to learn positively and effectively There are many tricks to check out: * Checking techniques for vocabulary Jumbled word Odering Rub out and remember Bingo Techniques What and where TECHNIQUES Mattching Slap the board * Measures to organize the implementation: 11 Steps to introduce new words Introduce new words, teachers teach students the following four skills: + Listen: Teacher read sample, student listen + Speak: Teacher reads words,students reread + Reading: Teacher writes words up on the board, students read words with their eyes orally +Write: Students write words into the set - Introduction, this topic is quite important step in teaching vocabulary This step will determine the success of the lesson, which will elicit the student's idea of the words that are going to be learned through the topic that has just been introduced The most important thing in introducing new words is to follow the sequence: listen, speak, read, write Do not ever start from another "hear" activity Remember the process of learning the mother tongue of We always start by listening, imitating the pronunciation and then going to other activities Help your students have a good habit of learning new words - Step 1: "listen", you let students hear new words by reading the sample - Step 2: "Say", after the students have heard three times, you ask the students to repeat As students repeat, you need to pay attention to the class repeated before then call the individual - Step 3: "read", you write the word up on the board and have students look at it to read Have the students read the whole class, then read the individual and correct the student to the extent that you believe it is satisfactory - Step 4: "write", after the students have read the word correctly then you ask the students to write the word in the notebook - Step 5: Ask if a student knows the meaning of the word and ask a student to write the vietnamese words - Step 6: Accent the word: re-pronounce the word and ask the students to identify the syllable with accent and mark - Step 7: Give the sample sentences and ask the students to identify the word for the new word Learning vocabulary skills Next So every day, think of anything, even small memories to write Also,if you have the opportunity to interact with native speakers, watch international TV channels every day, it is an ideal condition to enhance your vocabulary vividly 12 How students understand the lessons, learn the most effective lessons, have active learning hours, attract students, have good teaching methods, or have students easily grasp the lessons in the classroom? Anxiety for every English teacher like us To be successful in every hour of teaching English teachers always have to innovate synchronized teaching methods For example: innovation in vocabulary teaching, sentence structure grammar and teaching (listening, speaking, reading and writing) skills For students, learning vocabulary and remembering them as much as possible is very useful and necessary Because they can remember words, they can understand what the teacher is saying so that they can easily answer the teacher's questions, capture and possess a significant amount of vocabulary that will help them In elementary school, the teacher teaches students along with other subjects on the basis of equipping the student with the necessary skills and techniques to train the knowledge workers, Skilled, dynamic and creative The formation and training of skills for students, teachers not only pay attention to the transfer of knowledge in textbooks, use the means of teaching but also pay attention to the organization of the teaching process To actively activate the learner's activities, to promote and promote the active and active role of students in learning and organizing students to acquire knowledge by their own activities Students not understand the importance of vocabulary so they are lazy to learn or just learn through loudspeaker and can not use it, with new knowledge that is so different from their mother tongue, students are afraid While teaching new words, keep in mind the following points: Should introduce words in each specific sentences pattern In different communication situations, teachers can combine that work by establishing the relationship between old and new words, vocabulary that must be reinforced continously Teachers routinely check vocabulary at the beginning of the hour by letting them write the words in the child table and raise, in this way the teacher can observe all the students in the class, obliging them to study and Remember to use words 13 in the sentences with realistic situations that help children remember longer, communicative well, and bring good result In order for students to acquire the good lessons required to teach new vocabulary teachers need to choose the appropriate methods, we need to choose the shortest, fastest, most effective, after school Completion of the vocabulary they read, write and know how to put into real situations * Guide students to learn vocabulary The time spent at school is very limited, so most of the time in the family has to organize their own learning activities Therefore, right from the beginning of the school year, teachers need to teach students how to learn new words Learn new words have many ways Ex: Today teacher directionally students take ten words home for the first day study five from the second day to study the fifth from the old and the next five words (Review from the old) and so on the day students also review It will be very fast The lesson plan illustrated - Before preparing the lesson plan, the teacher should be aware of the problem related to one lesson - Student objects: age, level, knowledge and skills are available, srengthens, weekness, intrerests, Psychology Required content: Language focus (structure, vocabulary), skills to be learned Be sure to master the knowledge that will teach and use that knowledge - Environment, teaching conditions: classrooms, school objects, facilities in their room - Teaching tips and the nature of classroom activities Useful of visual aids and teaching aids will be used in the lesson Specific planning lesson: Grade 14 WEEK 23 PERIOD 46 UNIT 14: WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE ?
