Using the text - book English 12 to apply to each speaking lesson - Reading reference books to improve - Using the soft ware POWERPOINT, pictures and other materials - Discussing with other teachers - Observing and drawing out experiences B - CONTENTS I BASIC OF THEORY Today the world is entering the knowledge economy in which the key to the treasure of human knowledge is English Not only does the English language help students to have more languages than their mother tongue but also to help them learn Students have the means to communicate with the world in all different areas Handout will be a great help for teachers when they want to adjust the textbook assignments to better suit the level of students in class or when they want to provide more exercises for students to practice Handout can just be a simple small change from the difficult task in textbook providing a great deal of new words, new structures for students to practice It is extremely useful in pair-work or groupwork It not only gives students the opportunities to practice speaking more, but also forces them to read and think Gradually, it will make students more confident to talk what they think easily and may creat the “ habit and reflexion of speaking” in the daily situations By using handout can students speak English as naturally as they learn their mother tongue without being aware they are studying even to the hesitant and shy students II THE REALITY TEACHING AND LEARNING ENLISH AT QUANG XUONG HIGH SCHOOL Currently high school students are not really aware of the importance of learning English, but students only think that learning English is just to pass the graduation exam an even more difficult rural school for teaching and learning English is the use of English to communicate in English lessons Besides a few students not like to learn English, so I always thinking of how to get students interested in this subject especially promotes the ability to use existing language to develop better speaking skills in the post reading section Through teaching practice I discovered students are more confident and bold with using handouts to speak English, using handouts as teachers are not too dependent on books but have to think and design handouts accordingly with students of my school III ENCOURAGING THE STUDENTS IN GRADE 12 TO BE MORE CONFIDENT IN SPEAKING IN POST READING BY USING HANDOUTS AS THE USEFUL TEACHING Using handouts as a teaching aid requires the teacher the creation and a good knowlegde about teaching approach Indeed, if the teacher neither understand the objectives of the lesson, nor prepare teaching plan carefully, using handouts in these case is ineffective Not only is it useless but it also make the student becomes confused There is a wide range of handouts which teachers probably take full advantages of to stimulate students in speaking lessons In this work, I mention some kinds of handouts that I used effectively last year for my students Some typical handouts 1.1 Table handouts This type is the most popular because is is easy for teachers to creat and for the students to understand It provides new words and new structures for especially the weak students who have a poor vocabulary For example,afer teaching part A of Unit 1: “Home life”, in post reading may be difficult for most of students, teacher create a table handout using the words in the task they have learned Sample handout : UNIT1 Who works in the family Who does the household chores The interest the family members share closely The person your friend often shares his/ her secrets with HOME LIFE Partner Only mother Partner Partner Both mother and father father Only mother Every one Both Wathching movies the Going shopping Going for a picnic The person your friend talks to before making an important decision After reading the infirmation in the table the student work in pair Lan: Would you mind telling me something about your family?

When (to attract somebody’s attention) When (to pay a compliment) (To express disapproval or protest ) (to show respect/ show agreement with somebody’s ideas) (To be excited about something) (to encourage somebody) Sample handout UNIT16: THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN NATIONS Summarize the passage by talking about the information in this table Through the milestones students will easily talk about the events that took place in the community of countries in Southeast Asia Especially the weak students UNIT 5: HIGHER EDUCATION Sample handout Create excitement for students to use the adjectives learned in the reading to talk about their new learning environment, especially grade 12 students Read the text again and find out what each person likes or doesn’t like about their first year at college?

making lots of friends - enjoyed the academic year because it was so challenging 1.2: Diagram handouts This type is very useful to help students express many problems in sequence For example, with the task : causes – consequences – solutions or talk about the species are in danger of becoming extinct as in Unit 10: Endangered Species And talk obout school system in Enland in Unit 4: School education system Sample handout UNIT 4: SCHOOL EDUCATION SYSTEM Remember the main content of the passage and fill in the diagram with correct information taken from the reading text and Talk about tha education system in England Sample handout – Unit 10: Endangered Species Discuss in groups then talk about the Endangered species: causes – Consequences – solutions, using the cues in the handouts Picture handouts This type is used to help student in the describing their favourite sport after post reading Teacher should use four pictures of four popular sports to motivate them to talk Instead of reading only words in textbook, now they have something interesting to think and to talk The handout may be created as below For teacher, the picture handouts require the time and the to search for the suitable pictures and design handouts But the result is obvious quite good Most of the sudents can talk about the roles of married women at least some simple sentences for the weak They can talk without the help of the textbook and teacher as well The students feel so free when express their ideas 10 Sample hand out Unit 12: WATER POLO Talk about your favourite aquatic sports(under watersports) Group 1: -

a seaside high school Recommendations a For students: - 100% must prepare lesson before going to class - Using reference books, good learning books are effective Especially not to over use “To learn English well 12.” - Actively participate in pairs and groups to practice speaking English everywhere b For teachers: - Prepare the lesson plan carefully - Create the good and lively handouts and copy them before teaching 17 -
