Moreover, with the skill level of the 3rd grade students, the ability to take note lessons to study at home is very difficult because the class time is only 35-40 minutes /lesson is not enough for the students to copy all the necessary content and knowledge or if they could that, they could not remember the pronunciation, the usage of each words and sentences These restrictions require teachers to have appropriate methods to help them be able to read words and sample sentences in the right way in the classroom, when going home, they can revise themselves anytime and anywhere II CURRENT SITUATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING ENGLISH AT GRADE IN DIEN QUANG I PRIMARY SCHOOL In the 2013-2014 academic year, English is taught officially at Dien Quang I Primary School Over the years, I realize that most of the students are really eager to look forward to learning this new subject However, through learning time, they lose interest, feel shy and even afraid of learning English Many people think that it is too difficult, they are not able to or not have the ability to learn languages In the 2018-2019 school year, Dien Quang I Primary School has two grades with 62 students, the duration of studying English was periods per week With the above study duration after a period of study when the research method has not been applied, the survey results in November 2018 are as follows: Clas s Number of students Number of Number of students students really like enjoyed learning learning 3A 3B Total 31 31 62 6% 3% 5% 10 19% 13% 16% Number of Number of sts dislike sts afraid of learning learning English English 14 17 31 46% 55% 50% 9 18 Notes 29% 29% 29% With the above mentioned fact, I boldly apply a number of new methods in teaching and learning English for students this school year During the implementation process, I found the following advantages and disadvantages: Advantages: - Most of them are good students, obedient to teachers and parents - Some families have been interested in learning English, buying necessary books, school supplies for English so that they can learn and get familiar with the subject - The school always tries to create the most favorable facilities for studying and teaching this subject - Government and organizations have been interested in promoting teaching and learning English in primary schools Disadvantages : 2.1 Teachers and the school: - English teachers themselves are still not actively communicating in English with students Because the number of students in a class is about from 30 to 35 , the time to communicate between the Teachers and the students, between students and students is not much - Facilities (radio, speakers, language classrooms ) for teaching and learning English are limited and needy 2.2 The students : - For students in mountainous areas, English is still really strange, they can only hear and know what English is when they come in and start studying in the 3rd grade.They have appropriate lẻaning methods or don't even know how to learn how to memorize words and memorize sentences - Most students are not aware of the importance of the subject It is not considered a necessary and important subject for their lives - Many children come from families with difficult circumstances, low living standard, They live far-away from parents who are less interested in or even abandon their children's education - Besides, the different level of awareness of each student is also a big difficulty for teachers when the duration of each lesson is only 35-40 minutes - The number of students in each class is relatively large, affecting the progress of their lessons - The lack of a communication environment is also a major obstacle to teaching and learning foreign language Causes : - Propaganda about the importance of the subject is not much and has not reached all parents - There are no extracurricular activities, creating an English playground for students in the school - There is no link between learning English and other subjects (Arts, Music) to create excitement for students - Landscape and environment in schools not have much support for studying English III SOME SOLUTIONS TO TO HELP GRADE 3RD STUDENTS ACQUAINT AND MEMORIZE THE VOCABULARY, MODEL SENTENCES AND MAINTAIN THE INTEREST IN LEARNING ENGLISH : Helping students become familiar with English: For any subject, the first period is also "getting used to the subject" This is the same to English, this is considered a preparation step in the mind to help students initially have the simplest awareness about the subject, thereby helping them to be less confused when starting to officially learn English and forming give them love to study the subject Avoiding forced learning in a forced, cumbersome way These only make you feel less interested, discouraged by learning English In this familiar lesson, teachers need to clarify the following two issues: 1.1 Basic differences between Vietnamese and English: The most obvious difference compared to Vietnamese is that English has the letters W, F, Z Knowing this helps them to avoid the surprise when writing and recognizing words Teachers also need to introduce both uppercase and lowercase letters to students For Vietnamese, it is possible to spell each word according to the rules and then pronounce it into words As for English, there are no spelling rules that students will have to memorize and imitate the way teachers read In addition, there are many different points of phonetics, intonation, accents requiring teachers to know and show them in the learning process, so that they have the best view and feel about the language you are learning, avoiding bad errors or even shocking due to differences in your mother tongue 1.2 Difficulties the students often encounter when they start learning English: Most students when learning English will find it difficult or even impossible to catch some sounds in English, such as /s/ in it's, he's, is /k/ in the words : look, like, or /p/, /t∫/ This requires teachers to carefully guide, even check and guide each student, avoid embarrassment and lack of confidence in the students when they pronounce They can't remember how to read and the meaning of words or even in class, remember to come home then forget This situation can easily lead to pessimistic depression for children in learning English Teachers should have appropriate methods of psychological preparation for them and have a solution when the situation occurs Not only for students but for anyone who learns English when facing difficulties, teachers need to have timely help and encouragement so that they always feel excited about the subject Teaching and learning English vocabulary in 3rd grade: In an English lesson, most lessons have a section "Introducing vocabulary" In order to achieve high results, students must remember the pronunciation and usage of the words In that way, teachers need to choose skills that are suitable for each word so that students are easy to understand, remember and use Through the teaching process and reference, I would like to present some common methods of teaching and learning English vocabulary that I find students interested in learning, remembering and memorizing for a long time: 2.1 Learning words through songs / chant songs In the distribution of the English language program for periods per week, it is not compulsory for teachers to teach this part, but learning words through songs / chants is highly interesting to students Students have been re-educated and entertained through music This way helps students remember words easily and for a long time so teachers should find ways to choose and integrate appropriately: EX: * Song: "Sing a rainbow", students will keep in mind the words that show colors at Unit * Song: "Toys, toys, toys, toys", students will remember the words for toys in Unit 17 * Song: "Finger family", students will remember the words of family members at Unit 11 * Song: "two kind doctors", students will memorize the words of career ……… 2.2 Learning by logic starting from the last letter of the previous word This method helps students remember the words they have learned before This helps students systematize the vocabulary they have learned at all topics This way of learning can be done in the revision period, at the beginning or the end of each lesson: EX: book - kite - eye - ear - rabbit - two - orange - eleven, 2.3 Studying by topic This method helps students systemize the words they have learned by each topic, thereby helping students to try and remember deeper and stronger words EX: * Topic 1: colors: red, blue, pink, white * Topic 2: animals: dog, cat, bird, rabbit, lion * Topic 3: toys: kite, ball, doll, teddy bear, * 4: Topic job: nurse, fireman, doctor, pilot ……………………… 2.4 Learning words by alphabet: This method helps students remember words very easily and more deeply based on the initial letters EX: * Letter A: apple, arm, aunt, are, * Letter B: bird, box, big, blue, black, * Letter C: cat, car, cook, can, * Letter D: dog, do, door, dad, * Letter F: finger, four, five, face, 2.5 Given the words from the root When any teacher or student makes an original word then the teacher asks students to develop the word into new meaningful words With this method helps 10 students develop thinking skills and develop from the root From there students get a more basic vocabulary EX: Teach (teach) - teacher: (teacher) Drive (driver) - Driver (driver) Work - Worker - factory worker Play (play) - player (player) - football player 2.6 Learning words at anytime and anywhere: This method helps students get rich words and is very practical: * At school: class, school, book, pupil, teacher, classmate …… * At home: dad, mum, brother, sister, grandma, grandpa ……………… * At the party: cake, flower, ice-cream, friend, candy, candle 2.7 Regularly study Encourage students to spend a little bit of time about 20-30 minutes to learn words every day rather than spend more time studying in a day and sometimes learn In this way, students can review many times in certain words, thereby helping them remember longer 2.8 Asking each student to have a notebook to take note words Every student needs to have a notebook from every day, every word they can write 10-15 times Teachers can periodically take a grade to encourage taking additional points for oral examination or 15-minute test scores In this way students can practice words more often and remember longer 2.9 Writing the word into a small piece of paper In addition to writing words into notebooks, students can use small pieces of paper and write words in and paste them around their room or home In this way students save a lot of time, students can both learn and it smoothly 2.10 Draw pictures Teachers can guide students to draw pictures that are simple, so that they can remember longer They can both draw and learn, through which students can engrave 11 the word longer With this way, students are very easy to learn and very easy to remember the word that they have just learned EX: 2.11 Use real objects Teachers can guide students to use objects around them When students learn a word related to real things around our lives, teachers should guide students study at home Looking at those things will help to remind the words they have leaened With this method, students can understand and remember words longer, and when they forget they can recall those words by looking at the things they have used before EX: a table a bed a window 2.12 Giving antonyms The teacher can make either a student in the study group give a word or group of words and ask the other students to give the opposite word the word With this method helps students recall the words they have learned before, through which students can inculcate and recall the word again EX: black>
