By carrying out this study, the researcher wishes to give a hand in promoting speaking skill for secondary students Perhaps my research is certainly not perfect so I am looking forward to receiving input from all of you Thank you II RESEARCH PURPOSES The purpose of this topic is to help users in English (Both teachers and students) aware of the importance of collocations in communication as well as in writing Make a habit of using English phrases Through collocations help train students in critical thinking, and their ability to synthesis of a certain problem in life Collocations will help students expand vocabulary, ability to express more abundant The use of the collocations in communication makes the speaking effective in language usage III RESEARCH SUBJECTS Audience research is geared to forging subject for secondary students in Van Du Thach Thanh, speaking skill through the use of collocations in English The research focuses on three contents: - Encourage and guide students how to learn the collocations effectively - Providing students the habit of using the collocations in English subject - Guide students to use collocations in communication IV RESEARCH METHODS The method I have used: - Research methodology built on theoretical basis - Scientific research method: A method of observing the object a systematic way to gather information There are two scientific observers are observing direct and indirect observations - Methods of investigation: A method of teachers surveyed audience Secondary school students in Van Du to detect characteristics and learning styles, ability to post - Experimental methods: The teacher actively impacts on students and the course of the student attendance to follow objectives, their expectation - Methods of analysis summed up the experience: As a research methodology and review the practical achievements to draw conclusions useful for practice B CONTENT INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE I THEORETICAL BASIS OF THE PROBLEM Communication plays an important role in intergration stage, as well as in schools Speaking skill is an important skill for students to complete their synthesis capabilities In communication the students express their opinions, their views on a particular issue in life But how the students can speak English fluently Using Collocation in communication will help the language speaking naturally and effective with the listener That is, Collocation is a way of combining words together to form phrases according to the use habits of native speakers Therefore, using collocations will make our speaking and writing more natural, more like native speakers Collocation is important because they account for a large percentage of daily English So choosing the right phrase helps learners express in a natural way, diverse and easy to understand as a native speaker We cannot arbitrarily combine words together So if you want to use the correct phrase, there is only the collocation learning method! II STATE OF THE MATTER RESEARCH In English programs secondary education, speaking skill is less invested by the teachers So the ability to speak, especially, senior students are often very limited So the cause of the current situation happened? To the teachers In recent years, English teachers who have been invested more in knowledge and teaching assistant equipment However, to meet the standard in accordance with the requirements of the subjects in English is still limited, Speaking is a difficult skill which asks teachers to invest more in lessons Besides, guiding students uses the structural grammar, teachers have to guide them to apply flexible language structure Some teachers not really care much about how to guide students to speak English because they not see its importance or not understand how to speak English well The use of collocations in English during the teacher's lectures is very limited, because teachers have not really seen the role of expression in lessons Add to that the collocations are fixed meaning- phrase should require users to be very careful language appropriate to the context, situation To the students Until now students have learnt English only in the passive form (Teachers say they understand such games), they not have the concept of investment for subject because they consider that English is a foreign language So the preparation of new and old studying at home is also deal, sketchy, especially in the regular classes Students are not really interested in learning English now, particularly speaking skills because of limited vocabulary, structures did not remember, practice led to face many difficulties Secondary students in the last three years, they have been accessed to English courses in secondary school Students may not be led to the basics Therefore the use of collocations in English for students is difficult Here are the results of the current situation without application speaking using English collocations The survey used the collocations in academic subjects in English Use less Never use Number of Using effective students No % No % No % 174 0 4,6 166 95.4 The survey used collocations in English speaking Number of Good use Use less No use students No % No % No % 174 0 0 166 100 From the results of this situation, to help students get better results in speaking, I have read the document, consult with colleagues and receive information from the students to get the solution and specific measures for the application on your topic III IMPLEMENTING MEASURES Encourage and guide students how to learn collocations effectively 1.1 Introduce the role of collocation in communication Collocations are word combinations that frequently appear together They will make your English communication sound more natural and fluent as the natives talk to each other 1.2 Guide students how to learn collocations effectively 1.2.1 Record collocations This is also one of the most effective ways to learn collocations to help students remember for a long time + Recording in context when you read it again, you can clearly remember how to use it most appropriately For example: English Unit 12 Getting started Ex2 Match the activities with the pictures + Highlight the collocation when caught in any text For example English 7: Unit health Getting started Ex1 Listen and read Phong: No, I don’t feel like it Nick: you sound down Phong, are you ok? Phong: I feel kind of sad I eat junk food all the time, so I’ m putting on weight too Nick: All the more reason to go out Phong: No, Nick Plus, I think I have flu- I feel weak and tired And, I might get sunburnt outside Nick: I won’t take no for an answer I’m coming to your house now! English 8: Unit Leisure activities Communication - ex1 1.2.2.Remember collocations Learning collocations is simpler than learning individual vocabulary Some basic things to note are listed below: 1.2.2.1 Regular review This is the common way to remember the collocations or the new words For example you try to learn ten collocations in days You can learn all the ten collocations the first day and revise them the next day because revision is necessary This helps you practice the words more times.The teacher ought to ask students to in this way after the lessons like a homework and check their work in the next warm up Example: English Unit My new school - A closer look Ex2 Work in pairs Put the words in in to groups Can you add more nouns to the goups Play Do Have Study football music the piano badminton chess games Ex3 - homework school Physics judo lunch English exercises lessons History morning exercise classes vocabulary the housework lunch/dinner science laundry a bath paintings nothing a rest maps the cleaning a meeting literature the cooking a drink languages the dishes a good time English Unit Our Tet holiday- Acloser look Match the verbs with the suitable nouns cook special food (nấu đặc biệt) go to a pagoda (tới chùa) give/ get lucky money (cho tiền lì tì) visit relatives (thăm họ hàng) clean the furniture (lau chùi đồ đạc) - decorate our house (trang trí nhà cửa) - plant trees (trồng cây) - make a wish (ước điều ước) - hang a calendar (treo lịch) - watch fireworks (xem pháo hoa) - the shopping (đi mua sắm) - buy peach blossoms (mua hoa đào) 1.2.2.2 Develop a habit of using collocations to not only stop understanding but also use it quickly and smoothly in the head when it is possible - The teacher should encourage students from grade who are just beginners and the new words which they need to learn firstly is “to have”, “to do” and “to make”Therefore the teacher had better teach them the collocations about “Have”, “do” and “make’ For example To have have an accident: gặp tai nạn have a break: nghỉ giải lao have a conversation/chat: tranh luận have difficulty: gặp khó khăn have an experience: có trải nghiệm have a feeling: có cảm giác have fun/a good time: có thời gian vui vẻ have a look: trông chừng have a party: tổ chức tiệc have a trip/go: có chuyến have lunch/dinner: ăn trưa/tối have a bath: tắm have a rest: nghỉ ngơi have a meeting: hẹn gặp To do your homework/ the housework: làm tập nhà/ làm việc nhà the ironing/shopping/washing/laundry: quần áo, mua sắm,giặt đồ your best: làm damage: gây thiệt hại an experiment: làm thí nghiệm exercises: tập thể dục To make make friends: làm bạn, kết bạn make a mistake: gây sai lầm make the bed: dọn giường make coffee: pha cafe make a plan: lên kế hoạch make a phone call: gọi điện make a decision: định make a change: thay đổi make a choice: lựa chọn make a comment: bình luận - The teacher ought to check their homework by giving their good marks if someone using collocations in their presentation 1.2.2.3 Learn group collocations to memorize more effectively It is possible to divide the group of collocations with the same subject, or divide the group of collocations with the same composition from them * Study through topics With students in grade six, seven at lower levels, it is more effective to help them divide groups by topic These topics can be in the same order as in textbooks, such as school, friends, food, etc Students at a higher level such as 8.9, will like to learn collocation with keywords (work, holiday, communication or learning grammar structure such as verb + noun, noun + adjective) etc English Unit 10 communication ex1 Before practice, teachers introduce new words and a number of related collocations in the sub-section and ask students to take notes and study at home - pre-/ primary/middle school trường mẫu giáo/ trường tiểu học/ trường Trung học - first grade, fifth grade : lớp 1, lớp - get good grades : đạt điểm số cao - take classes / courses/ notes: tham gia khóa học/ lên lớp/ ghi - give / make presentations : thuyết trình - hand in one’s work : nộp tập - give feedback : đưa nhận xét, phản hồi *Study through the key word Adverb + adjective - Deeply worried/ unhappy/ashamed/affected- lo lắng sâu sắc/ vô không vui/ xấu hổ/ ảnh hưởng sâu sắc Ex Invading that country was an utterly stupid thing to We entered a richly decorated room Are you fully aware of the implications of your action? Ajective + noun - Big money/ mistake/ decision/surprise- tiền lớn/ sai lầm lớn/ định lớn/ bất ngờ lớn - old age – tuổi già - new generation.- hệ - natural disaster/ resources- thảm học thiên nhiên/ tài nguyên thiên nhiên - native speaker- người ngữ - nice time.- thời gian đẹp - rich person- người giàu - runny nose- chảy nước mũi Ex The doctor ordered him to take regular exercise The Titanic sank on its maiden voyage He was writhing on the ground in excruciating pain Noun + noun Ex Let’s give Mr Jones a round of applause The ceasefire agreement came into effect at 11am I’d like to buy two bars of soap please Noun + verb Ex The lion started to roar when it heard the dog barking Snow was falling as our plane took off The bomb went off when he started the car engine Verb + noun Ex The prisoner was hanged for committing murder I always try to my homework in the morning, after making my bed He has been asked to give a presentation about his work Verb + expression with preposition Ex We had to return home because we had run out of money At first her eyes filled with horror, and then she burst into tears Their behaviour was enough to drive anybody to crime Verb + adverb Ex She placed her keys gently on the table and sat down Mary whispered softly in John’s ear I vaguely remember that it was growing dark when we left Adverd+ adverb - right now – - pretty well- tốt - all alone- - quite enough- đủ - all along- tất Ex I’m sorry, but I can’t talk right now I was scared because I was all alone Providing students the habit of using the collocations in English subject A 45- minute lesson has got many formal activities, and other activities which depend on the content of the lesson Normally, we have three main types of post are: The introduction- lesson corpus, skill lessons, practice grammar lessons However, during a lecture, teachers often diverge the lesson five main sections are: Warm up, presentation, practice, production, and homework Flexible use of proverbs in parts of the lesson will help the class atmosphere less tense, highly effective Here are some specific solutions: 2.1 Use collocations in lecture activities I Warm up: Entering the class the teacher can: + Joking a few sentences to stir up class as: Warmly welcome Miss Phon Please give her a round of applause + Asking some open questions: How are you to day?

Use collocations to communicate is an effective way, however, the user must understand the implications of the collocation should be used because the collocations in English The combination of words does not follow the general rule Which requires learners to remember - What language is also a set of collocations, phrases used to refer figuratively instead of literally live, learn English while understanding the common collocations will help students read and hear better what native really wants to say - After a period of application of the teaching practices in Van Du Secondary school both formal class time each afternoon and tutoring time I have seen the quality of students was very positive changes in speaking, is reflected in the more specific skills practice, the periodic tests, good student exam II REQUEST To help students interested in speaking English, teachers must guide and encourage students to use flexible language structure, use the collocations when communication will make pithy prose and rich emotions reach a high level of language use To experience initiatives can be effectively applied, I respect: + Education Department pays more attention to teachers by organizing English classes more thematic advanced to discuss teaching skills, speaking skills in particular, to the teachers as I was ironing further arguments about speaking + The heads of the school invest more on equipment such as tutors (reference books, computers, function rooms ) The theme is the experience of myself over the years teaching in secondary schools I am looking forward to the comments of colleagues to be more complete in the subject CONFIRMATION OF HEADS OF UNITS Van Du, April 22th , 2019 I swear this is my own experience initiative, is not copied the internal contents of others The implementer Nguyen Thi Phon REFERENCES 20 Oxford dictionary online Collocations example for English learners 2500+ collocations lists from A-Z with example “Tổng hợp collocations thông dụng” https://www facebook.com "Tổng hợp collocations thường gặp" https://thichtienganh.com "50 collocations bạn nên biết thi IELTS speaking" https://zim.vn.blog 21 ... for secondary students in Van Du Thach Thanh, speaking skill through the use of collocations in English The research focuses on three contents: -
