Using of interdisciplinary knowledge to improve students’ learning interest in teaching part b speaking unit 10 nature in danger

Thach Thanh high school Tran Thi Binh I INTRODUCTION Reasons for the research Innovative approach in teaching is a necessary requirement in education Integrative teaching is a new trend that many teachers use in the teaching of their subject Teaching English is not out of the trend We know that English covers a wide range of topics in life so it is possible to integrate much of the knowledge in other subjects However, with integrated teaching, students must constantly enrich their vocabulary and have a good knowledge of many subjects.This has made the activities of English language learning more lively and attracting more students In addition, students must actively explore the knowledge that they want to present to whole class So they will be more interested in the lesson and the knowledge will be remembered longer and deeply To well integrated teaching in English requires that the teacher of English spend a lot of time on preparing thoroughly to be able to master the contents related to other subjects It can be said that integrated teaching in the subject of English is very necessary because it brings good results for both teachers and learners Furthermore, practising skills in English for students at Thach Thanh is really complicated because of their poor vocabulary, incorrect pronunciation Therefore, students are afraid of taking part in activities in speaking lesson Being a teacher of English, I always pay more attention to how to help the students feel more simple and excited at speaking lesson Purpose We have all known recently that integrating subjects in solving a problem of lesson is essential, which make learners not only study and improve the knowledge from other subjects but also help them understand solve the matter fast and perfectly Integrating subjects such as Geography,Chemistry, Biology, general knowledge, Civic education and Life in part B- Speaking Unit 10: NATURE IN DANGER : English provides them a brief information the reasons why nature is threatened,the effects and suggest the measures to protect environment Moreover, with the images of nature is being destroyed students are aware of their duties in protecting as well Based on the innovation of the teaching methodology of the Ministry of Education and Training on the application of interdisciplinary knowledge, I would like to give some experiences in teaching part B- Speaking, Unit 10: NATURE IN DANGER , English 11 Subjects In my research, I study with 11th grade students who will study unit 10: Nature in Danger The environment is a topic quite familiar to students They will have some knowledge of some subjects to talk about the causes and the reality of this problem Besides, teacher want to help them to express themselves in English fluently by eliciting from many pictures, which is the goal of this period Human beings are badly destroying the environment and nature in all respects through their actions and by their habits That is reasons for which nature is threatened Moreover, students have opportunity to discover the excitement of the lesson Using of interdisciplinary knowledge to improve students’ learning interest in teaching Part B- Speaking Unit 10: Nature in Danger Thach Thanh high school Tran Thi Binh through the games (Who is the millionaire ?), the knowledge of the many subjects related to this speaking class such as: know the songs about nature ( Earth songMichael Jackson), get information about human emissions into the earth's environment, have chance to talk about global warming, natural greenhouse effect and human enhanced greenhouse effect, talk about students’ responsibitities to protect the environment Students have the opportunity to learn about the state of the forests and laws to protect them; explore the national parks in Vietnam (Cuc Phuong, Ben En) and so on From that practical teaching experience, I’ve found that most of the students were very interested in the class and doing the exercises more perfectly Methods To make my solutions effectively, I have used some following methods: Firstly, I always get advice from colleagues through co- working Secondly, I apply science and technology in teaching, use projector, video clip to make the lesson efficiently For example, I use the software which applied to pronounce vocabulary to help students be accustomed to listening and speaking to native speaker accent Thirdly, I study through the internet, use new methods in teaching English such as: using pictures to teach vocabulary, using the matching -game to check up new words; using English song about nature ( Earth song), etc Next, I often teach English through real situations such as the student can know much about the life, environmental disasters in hometown ( Hoa Binh joint stock company of sugar cane has discharged into the Buoi River, polluting the water and kill a mount of fish and Nicotex Thanh Thai Joint Stock Company in Cam Van Commune, Cam Thuy District (Thanh Hoa), some pictures of flood in Thanh Hoa and especially students’ actions to protecting nature and so on Lastly, I divide the students into groups and ask them to search for information before coming class Students use maps to find out some national parks in Vietnam (Ben En, Cuc Phuong) Therefore, they can understand deeply about primary causes and also consequences from which human beings are doing such as Global warming, ozone layer depletion, etc I CONTENTS Theoretical background The purpose of teaching speaking is to help students self- confident to take part in numerous activities in class as much as posible It is the important that teacher help students to speak in accurency and influency Improving speaking skill not only helps students to raise the intellectual activity but also understand other subjects well and vice versa In traditional teaching method, students are introduced to some new vocabulary in tasks and practise speaking all the tasks that follow and get some information from English speaking lesson, which is considered to be successful In a limited period of time teaching units related many subjects is not easy work because it requires the teacher has a mount number of knowledge of all subjects and students need rich vocabulary, good grammar Unit 10: Nature in danger is within the theme of Using of interdisciplinary knowledge to improve students’ learning interest in teaching Part B- Speaking Unit 10: Nature in Danger Thach Thanh high school Tran Thi Binh environment and nature, specifically about reasons why nature is threatened and measures which can integrate a great number of knowledgeable subjects such as Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Civic education and general knowledge And one of the interesting things attracted myself to study this lesson is this period mentioned taking our actions I want to give students the opportunity to study about their duties with practical doing such as planting trees, sorting garbage, saying no to plastic bags, turning off the lights when not in use In addition, I am very interested in the information of severe weather phenomena, environmental disaster, which is one of the hot issues of humanity The more information related to my unit I look for , the more exciting I am Realities before applying the research With the part B in unit 10, I used to teach the students by traditional method that follows Homework checking I Lead in the lesson & vocabulary - Ask some students to answer some questions in the textbook( reading) - Introduce some new words/ expressions that appear in speaking tasks - students practice new words and phrases II Practice: -Ask ss to all the tasks ( in textbook): there are some reasons why nature is threatened and put them in the order of importance; Match the reasons in Task with possible measures for protecting the environment below; State the negative impacts made by people on the environment and suggest measures to protect it - Check sts’ answer III Further practice - Ask sts to exercise about pronuciation -Give homework: Write a short paragraph about nature: causes, consequences and solutions When teaching with the steps above , I realize that most of my students are passive in learning and lessons are less fun for students, even boring I sometimes explain more about some information related unit but not much because of a limitation of time Some students are not well- prepared lesson before going to class Hearing from the teacher also makes students not remember long, so the students’ result is not good From the above situation I always worry about how to help students not only good skills but also interest in the lesson Solutions In my research, I only mention the new ways in teaching Part C- Speaking unit 10: Nature in danger effectively by integrating many subjects in it I would like to present the form of teaching plan below WARM UP: Teacher asks students to watch the video of the people’s interference with the envirorment.( earth song ) Students watch the video of people’s interferenece with the enviroment Using of interdisciplinary knowledge to improve students’ learning interest in teaching Part B- Speaking Unit 10: Nature in Danger Thach Thanh high school Tran Thi Binh Teacher leads students to the new lesson: To know more about reasons why nature is threatened and measures to protect it,let’s learn the new lesson” I VOCABULARY: Teacher gives vocabulary by asking student s to look at the pictures on the projector and guess the words or phrases Teacher shows the picture and ask students to guess “what is the state of Rhinos and blue whale Teacher gives the correct answer: Rhinos and blue whale are the endangered animals endangered animal /ɪnˈdeɪndʒərd//ˈænɪml/ Động vật bị đe dọa Teacher shows other pictures then ask “What are these men doing and Why human kill these rare animals?” Teacher checks the student’s answer and give the correct name of the second picture: They are killing a tiger/ rhino and these rare animals are killed for fur, skin or food Kill: /kɪl/ : Giết Fur : Lông skin: /skɪn/ : Da Teacher asks students to look at the pictures and ask “What is he doing and What happened to the bear?” - Give the correct answer with the third picture: He is hunting animals and the bear was captured Hunt: /hʌnt/ Săn Bắn capture/ˈkæptʃə(r)/ Nhốt, giữ Teacher presents the picture and asks “What is the woman doing?” Student answers: She is burning trees Burn /bɜːrn/ : (v) đốt Teacher asks student to Look at picture and guess “What are these people doing?
