social fields Therefore, every elementary school student who is good at English is not only communicating and teaching according to the materials available in textbooks, instruction manuals but also need to innovate teaching methods students' activism and initiative are student-centered Therefore, teachers have to inspire their learning by engaging them in learning activities, helping them acquire knowledge and ability to use language in communication in a way easily, consolidating and inculcating knowledge firmly, giving them the passion and interest in learning In the trend of global integration of society today, it is very necessary to equip yourself with a good knowledge of foreign languages, especially English Learning Language is very popular not only with working people, having to use foreign languages to communicate at work but it is also very necessary for elementary students, who will soon be employers of the country With the above situation, each student must from now on equip themselves with a basic foreign language knowledge suitable for the grade and grade level.With such a particularly important and necessary role, however, learning Foreign language of students is not really focused and not uniform among regions, between students Many students are indifferent, dislike the subject The majority of students' psychology is afraid of each subject The number of weak students in the subject is always high As a primary school teacher, who teaches English directly, he has been teaching for nearly 18 years During the years of work assigned by the school administration to teach in all grades from grade to grade When teaching each grade myself, I have difficulties but my heart I love the profession and love, I have explored learning from my colleagues, friends, on newspapers and the mass media to overcome Looking back on my teaching history over the past few years, one of the classes that I initially thought would be the easiest to perform my professional work with the least difficulty on the contrary, I had a lot of difficulties: It was grade I was thinking about the bad academic results of the students myself I thought and found many methods and tricks during the teaching process I taught myself and with my colleagues' suggestions, I finally overcame difficulties, but one of the ways I found most effective was “Some experience dubbing games in teaching English to help students in grade for learning English well” 1.2 Objectives and tasks of the topic In recent years, education has focused on promoting innovation of content and teaching directions Implement effectively foreign language teaching under the new program Organizing teaching in the direction of activities, promoting students' activeness, initiative and creativity English is an independent subject, unlike other subjects Because outside of class time, the children receive little tutoring or support from the family Primary school students are students aged to 11 years old The children are young, their bodies are in a period of change, their temperament is also changing, they like to learn the unknown but they also quickly forget, quickly get bored, easily lose concentration, leading to not wanting to learn So for elementary students to absorb and remember well what they have learned in class, they must be excited and love the subject Especially in English, in addition to remembering the meaning of words, they also have to remember the sentence structure, remember how to read and remember the characters in the words they have learned That is why they think that learning English is a difficult task for them, causing them to be frightened, afraid to speak and afraid to be wrong They lack confidence in their abilities and they have many difficulties in learning To help elementary school students get used to and love English for the first time So the teacher must give them the passion and interest in learning to simplify the content so that it is suitable for elementary school age, giving them a lively and fun learning atmosphere Looked and excited, actively actively creative in learning To this, the teacher must play the role of a facilitator and guide to help them absorb quickly and remember long That's why I have incorporated games into my lecture to help students be more interested in English lessons In the 2019-2020 school year, I have applied a number of methods to help students remember vocabulary as well as the method of using visual aids, the method of using games and they have a capital Rich knowledge of vocabulary In the course of such teaching and applying, I find that: - "Games" is an activity that children enjoy the most - The games have rich content, use interesting and useful language to suit their perception When we offer games in an English class on a regular and scientific basis, the quality of teaching English will certainly increase That is why I have chosen this experience initiative 1.3 Research subjects The school year 2019-2020 is assigned by the school management to teach grade English, I choose 4C class and 4th grade textbook as the subject of my research 1.4 Limited scope of research - 4C students in Dien Bien Primary School - Duration: From September 2019 to the end of April 2020 - Documents: Textbooks, teachers books, game materials 1.5 Research Methods In order to conduct research on this topic, I have read, explored and referenced a number of materials that refer to games After research, find out and draw conclusions to see which games are suitable for the age of elementary school students I organize and conduct use of the games during my teaching hours In addition, I also exchanged ideas with colleagues about the purpose, how to organize the games in the most scientific way Finally, review the lessons learned and suggest appropriate play and rules for elementary students First semester of 2019-2020: Studying the situation of class as well as psychology of students combining suitable games for each type of lesson Second term of school year 2019-2020: Continue to implement ideas and surveys to collect feedback from students and through the test results of the subject at the end of the semester compared with each other to verify the effectiveness of Change teaching methods Summarizing the process of testing new methods, discovering positives and limitations, thereby elaborating the detailed outline of the topic and proceeding to write into experiences CONTENT 2.1 Rationale For many years now, since the beginning of education reform, the teaching method has changed a lot Education Law - 2005 (Article 5) stipulates that "education methods must promote positive, self-conscious, proactive, creative thinking of learners, fostering learners with self-studying ability and real ability onions, passion for learning and the will to rise up ” Student-centered learning has been applied to promote student activism in the learning process From this aroused a movement to improve teaching methods among teachers The previous method of literacy in the teaching process has been excluded even being heavily criticized There are many new teaching methods that teachers have applied such as for students to work in pairs to practice as well as discuss to explore discovering a problem in learning Learning in the form of games has also been applied by many teachers In 2008, the Ministry of Education also launched the movement "Building friendly schools, active students" to educational units across the country, From this movement, to build a happy atmosphere in In the classroom, in teaching subjects in general, especially in English, teachers have promoted the combination of many games in their teaching process The project "Teaching and learning foreign languages" in the national education system was approved by the Prime Minister in 2008 Especially in this project, teaching and learning English is extremely important, especially the Teaching for teenagers and children There are golden rules in teaching English to children and teenagers, who are young, to teach and learn English effectively One of those principles is: Play more than teach In this principle, the class teacher may not follow a certain lesson plan but the main idea is to create a diversified, colorful playground in English for students master the playground and gradually master the various activities 2.2 Reality Through the process of directly teaching the 4C class, through the self-survey results of the students' academic results over the recent school year, compared with the results of other classes, I see the percentage of students who are weak of the 4C class is usually much higher than other classes Wondering about such a situation, I conducted a student survey and directly discussed with the students in my class to teach and conducted a student quality survey to find out what Basic reason of the above situation * Poll content: (After weeks at the beginning of the new school year) Please cross it to the column that suits you: Question s Content of questions Yes No Do you like to study English? Are you afraid of this subject? Did you find it boring to study this subject? Do you feel less fear and less learning pressure when teachers apply games during teaching? Does checking new invitations and structures frighten me? * Results of the survey of 40 students in 4C in school year 2019 - 2020 are: Questions Total Rate % Yes 27 67, 5 No 13 Yes 32 No Yes 29 No 11 Yes 34 No Yes 33 No 22,5 80 20 72,5 27,5 85 15 82,5 17,5 The results of the survey of 4C students show that: Most of the students starting to get familiar with this subject are not interested in the subject because they not understand the lesson leading to the subject pale The main reason why students dislike the subject is because they have to be afraid to study it because they have to memorize new words and new structures * The results of the quality survey show that the number of weak students in the 4C English course is very high, accounting for 22/40 = 55% In order to reduce the fear of having to study this subject, which leads to poor student achievement, and to reduce the stress and pressure in every English lesson, I have boldly incorporated the games in the part of the lesson that I have learned through my own knowledge, through learning from my friends and colleagues and on the mass media, mainly through English-language Web sites 2.3 Solutions and measures a Objective of solutions and measures In recent years, education has focused on promoting innovation of content and teaching directions Implement effectively foreign language teaching under the new program Organizing teaching in the direction of activities, promoting students' activeness, initiative and creativity English is an independent subject, unlike other subjects Because outside of class time, the children receive little tutoring or support from the family Primary school students are students aged to 11 years old Young children, their bodies are in a period of change, their temperament is also changing, they like to learn the unknown but they also quickly forget, quickly get bored, easily lose concentration, leading to not wanting to learn Elementary students who acquire and remember well what they have learned in class must be excited and enjoy the subject Especially in English, in addition to remembering the meaning of words, they also have to remember the sentence structure, remember how to read and remember the characters in the words they have learned That is why they think that learning English is a difficult task for them, causing them to be frightened, afraid to speak and afraid to be wrong They lack confidence in their abilities and they have many difficulties in learning To help elementary school students get used to and love English for the first time So the teacher must give them the passion and interest in learning to simplify the content so that it is suitable for elementary school age, giving them a lively and fun learning atmosphere Looked and excited, actively actively creative in learning To this, the teacher must play the role of a facilitator and guide to help them absorb quickly and remember long That's why I have incorporated games into my lecture to help students be more interested in English lessons b Content and implementation of solutions and measures Play is an activity whose motivation is in the process of the game itself, not in the outcome of the game Games are a popular type of play, according to the rules of the game The game itself is the rules that define the purpose, results and requirements of the game action, the rules of the game must be clear A learning game is a game whose rules include the rules associated with internal using the lesson, helping students exploit their own experience to play Through play, students can apply the knowledge and skills they learned in the situation of the game Therefore, students can practice strengthening, expand knowledge and skills they have learned As such, the study skills of English are incorporated into the game It can be said: Play is an essential need for elementary school students, it is important as eating, sleeping, studying in their lives That's why they always find ways and take advantage of time in all conditions to play Being able to play, they will participate in a very selfconscious and active manner, when playing, they will show affection very clearly, like the joy of winning and sadness of failure Glad to see the teammates complete the mission, the students themselves feel sorry for not being able to their tasks well Because of the collective, they overcome difficulties and strive their best to bring the victory to the team, including themselves This is the very high emulation characteristic of the games, students often use their full strength, focus attention, intelligence and creativity student activities, helping students acquire knowledge voluntarily and positively Help students train, consolidate knowledge and develop experience gained through play Learning games train skills, techniques, promote intellectual activities, thanks to the use of learning games, the teaching process becomes a fun activity but still more attractive, more diverse opportunities for activities , the game is not only a medium but also an educational method Some games in English lessons in elementary school: Organize games
