We can say, after having applied the language games in teaching English courses in high school, I had a lot of students love more subjects, including the weaker students, they not feel fear and depressed whenever a foreign language to the contrary now we are very excited to participate in classes to also be "played" In fact, when the teacher organizes games, the noise will not be as much as some teachers used to think, besides, if there is noise, this is the "active noise", contributing to bring positive interest in learning - creative roots in each student The relsult in detail: The result of two tests made before ( the 1st ) and after ( the 2nd )the application from class: 11A and 11C I have taught Tests 1st 2nd Total 11A: 40 11C: 40 11A: 40 11C: 40 Below average students (%) 13 20 25 average students( %) Goodstudents (%) Excellenstude ntst (%) 20 20 40 30 0 67 60 45 40 Completed by : Bui Thi Linh - Nga son high school - 12 - The theme “Some warm - up strategies to motivate grade 11 students” III CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Conclusion With learners, language learning ever made many learners in all subjects have a headache, caused many people to "fear" this subject because it feels too difficult, too stressful, because right stuffing a number of vocabulary and grammar, different from their mother tongue Therefore, those who teach foreign languages department should something so that learners feel relaxed, so they can close more "friendly" than with this useful subjects With teachers, perhaps in all cultural disciplines are taught in schools, language is a subject with its very own characteristics It would be difficult, complex, dry, boring and ineffective, if people teach themselves "up muscles" take knowledge, the importance of the issue Why not we simplify, soften the breadth of subjects very dry this hard? I think to get a lesson - learning foreign languages vivid, interesting and high efficiency is not so much a problem If the teacher knows a little investment of time, effort and wisdom in the language games to help students "learn for fun - fun to learn," then surely it will be the subject attracted the support of many more students Innovation in general and innovation in particular foreign language is how organizations innovate teaching, the learner must hub New teaching methods should match absorptive capacity and the needs of learners, learners make favorite subjects to ensure the highest efficiency impart to their students Learning the discipline to practice English skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing are permanent job, hard, hard for the students Therefore, teachers must be fully aware of innovative teaching methods, have to constantly strive to learn, exchange, hone professional skills improve Apart from imparting knowledge tasks, teachers have concerns, seek to make English lessons more attractive, interesting, charismatic The use of a number of language games in the organization of learning activities in English is both a success to help develop positive perceptions of students in language learning, help students focused mentality to grasp knowledge and help students use English in a foreign language environment with real situations and lively The language games create novelty, the excitement of learning for students, making students feel comfortable, reduce stress, boredom with their lessons At the same time, help them to easily receive and inculcate knowledge, self-awareness initiative to explore, discover, solve tasks and consciously manipulate flexible, innovative and knowledge has acquired a effectively into practice In other words, language games contain a significant spiritual starting point, as it turns learning (mastering) a foreign language with the rigid requirements, required individuals to achieve self-awareness work, exuberant, creative and collective Of course, learning a foreign language is not just playing the game that the sentiments, naturally in the communication Completed by : Bui Thi Linh - Nga son high school - 13 - The theme “Some warm - up strategies to motivate grade 11 students” between teachers and students is maintained, strengthened by the atmosphere of collective game Specifically, the game will guide you to the interview seriously, discussed the situation any certain truth All these things are very important factors contributing to improve the quality and efficiency of the teaching process These are the small experiences that I have picked up in the classroom teaching English11 in my school, of course I can not avoid certain shortcomings I hope I can build up ideas and learn more experiences of colleagues to complete my theme Recommendation and proposals Above is my personal opinion on the use of language games in teaching foreign languages As a language teacher at the high school, I've introduced a lot of lessons and I found quite interesting students, gently absorbing all that effective inhibition and not many students feel enjoyed studying this subject However, the application of new issues is sometimes restricted because some classes overcrowded sizes (42-47 students) should work fine experience various organizations; Some colleagues are not sympathetic, they found affected to their classes So in the process of implementing our inevitable problems arise, the leaders at all levels to pay more attention were: - Develop separate function rooms (available lights, projectors) for teaching and learning English in subjects at each high school - Reduce the number of students in a class - Propaganda, convinced, create empathy, shared with teachers of other subjects on noise cultural "significance" of a foreign language now Things presented above is just the personal experience, the initial results The experiences and results have not been tested on a wide scale in the long run, so unavoidable limitations Presenting these experiences, I wish to raise a discussion to exchange opinions with colleagues on how to inspire students to learn foreign languages with the aim of contributing to increasingly improve the quality of teaching subjects in English speaking in particular, the quality of education in general We look forward to the comments of the leaders, professionals, colleagues for this initiative is excellent and widely used makes teaching English teachers high schools achieve good results, meet the requirements of teaching methods innovation in today I sincerely thank Completed by : Bui Thi Linh - Nga son high school - 14 - The theme “Some warm - up strategies to motivate grade 11 students” The confirmation of the principle Thanh Hoa, May 25th 2020 I promise not to have copied Signature Bui Thi Linh Completed by : Bui Thi Linh - Nga son high school - 15 - The theme “Some warm - up strategies to motivate grade 11 students” REFERENCES English text book grade 11, educational publisher Knowledge, skills courses of standard English, educational publisher Intel teach to the future 2006 The English textbook – grade 10,11,12 – Education and training publisher Methodology handbook for English teachers in Viet Nam Method of teaching English in secondary schools (Author: Nguyen Hanh Dung) http://www.learn-english-today.com/fun/fun_activities.html Completed by : Bui Thi Linh - Nga son high school - 16 - The theme “Some warm - up strategies to motivate grade 11 students” DANH MỤC SÁNG KIẾN KINH NGHIỆM ĐÃ ĐƯỢC HỘI ĐỒNG SÁNG KIẾN KINH NGHIỆM NGÀNH GIÁO DỤC VÀ ĐÀO TẠO HUYỆN, TỈNH VÀ CÁC CẤP CAO HƠN XẾP LOẠI TỪ C TRỞ LÊN Họ tên tác giả : Bùi Thị Lĩnh Chức vụ đơn vị công tác: Trường THPT Nga Sơn., TT Tên đề tài SKKN Để học tốt dạng câu điều kiện trường THPT Cấp đánh giá xếp loại (Ngành GD cấp huyện/tỉnh;
