This is a difficult question for a teacher of English in a small school with lots of facility difficulties as me After over thinking and testing, I think, the best way to solve this problem is to create a student environment that is close to their own lives in English It is English that is as close as the things around you And the most effective way is to apply interdisciplinary knowledge in the English teaching process Then, English became a means of transmitting knowledge and culture more purely Vietnamese, create excitement and motivation for students, and make an important contribution to improving the effectiveness of teaching and learning English at Ham Rong Lower Secondary School Therefore, I chose the topic "using integrated teaching methodology to teach English" to make my initiative Specifically: Using the integrated teaching methodology to teach "Unit 2- Clothing- Getting started + listen and read -
