THANH HOA EDUCATION AND TRAINING DEPARTMENT THANH HOA EDUCATION AND TRAINING OFFICE EXPERIENCE INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE IN TEACHING VOCABULARY FOR STUDENTS IN GRADE IN NGUYEN BA NGOC PRIMARY SCHOOL The implementer: Nguyen Thi Ha Position: Teacher School: Nguyen Ba Ngoc Primary school Subject: English THANH HOA 2018 PREAMBLE 1.1 Reason of choose topic In recent years, English has received a lot of attention from leaders, parents and students Almost all elementary schools have English rooms and are equipped with modern equipment Why? Because in today's era of information technology, English is a widely used language, the second language of many countries in the world A tool to integrate with the world Being a pioneer in officially introducing English into teaching in primary school in Thanh Hoa province encountered many difficulties But after years of implementing the project of teaching foreign languages thanks to the continuous efforts of the various levels of industry and effort to overcome many difficulties of English teachers, the first step English subjects have been studied by children Welcoming and learning enthusiasm Parents are always watching for encouragement As an English teacher I am very glad to see you are very eager to come to study English They are no longer afraid to learn English but are afraid to learn English So how can we continue to study spiritually, their fascination for English is the responsibility, the love of the profession, the innovation, the continuous innovation in the lessons of Each English teacher us After a period of training by the Thanh Hoa Department of Education to improve foreign language skills, especially professional courses taught by Hanoi University, I have learned and improved a lot in the field his teaching style There are so many new things I and my colleagues are adopting and effective Today I would like to present my speech on the method "Experrience in teaching vocabulary for students in grade in Nguyen Ba Ngoc primary school" 1.2 Content initiatives experience 1.2.1.Advantages Teaching is a challenging job, with new challenges emerging every year as the world changes day by day and teachers are ready to receive and impart new knowledge to students mine One problem that many teachers face is how to introduce vocabulary so that they will not only understand but also feel interesting Their immature brains will be extremely pressured by the method Introduce and check the vocabulary by way of recording, cramming and memorization If there are no vocabulary teaching methods and inspiration, then you will consider learning vocabulary is to deal with the times check Vocabulary is the most important tool in learning English In any of the skills of learning a foreign language, one must use vocabulary So English vocabulary is the source of capital, the main tool for English learners In a lesson in English, most of the classes have a vocabulary introduction For high-achieving lessons, students must understand the pronunciation and the use of words To achieve this effect teachers have to choose the appropriate teaching methods to make students easy to understand, easy to remember, easy to use 1.2.2 Difficulties - Under the current distribution programs, elementary English courses per week 02 more, which almost always have more new words in the lesson and even in training But good to teach vocabulary to students more active Teachers must make pictures, maps for illustration, enabling them to easily remember words and directs their attention to the topic or lesson focus In addition,students here because the conditions and circumstances, parents are not aware of the importance of the English language, should not concern, urging them to learn this subject In addition, due to development in all aspects is limited, conditions for elementary students are exposed to the mass media, the entertainment programs use less English Leading to- To the students, besides a number of children seriously, there are not only fewer students learn through the speakers, not the words etched into the memory, not reading, writing regularly, not sense of to the students, is also very difficult to check or guide them to learn at home Because the foreign language, parents are not always known It is also very difficult problem in the management of student learning at home Also, how students learn vocabulary is also worthy of attention, students often learn vocabulary by reading words in English and try to remember that in Vietnamese, wrote in writing as well as to deal with teachers, but not self-consciously check their, to inculcate new words and vocabulary available Therefore, they are forgetful and easily confused words with other words As a result, many students get bored and abandon school So teachers need to pay attention to this mentality of student Research subjects "Experrience in teaching vocabulary for students in grade in Nguyen Ba Ngoc primary school" 1.4 Method of study -Teaching is a challenging job, with new challenges emerging every year as the world changes day by day and teachers are ready to receive and impart new knowledge to students mine One problem that many teachers face is how to introduce vocabulary so that they will not only understand but also feel interesting Their immature brains will be extremely pressured by the method Introduce and check the vocabulary by way of recording, cramming and memorization If there are no vocabulary

introduction For high-achieving lessons, students must understand the pronunciation and the use of words To achieve this effect teachers have to choose the appropriate teaching methods to make students easy to understand, easy to remember, easy to use 2 CONTENT INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE 2.1 Rationale Innovation on teaching methods, using the pupils are center, to they explore, discover and acquire knowledge and the teacher is only guide them It is a central goal to help pupils remember their lessons well These activities not only simple but also closely such as “oan tu ti”, match to sentences To contribute into the success of class, we use available instruments 2.2 Situation issues before applying experience initiative Vocabulary instruction is only part of the lesson but it plays an extremely important role in the success of the class because practice of the sentence, communication skills fluently, fluently, and advantageously Whether or not students are able to read new words, understand the meaning and use of vocabulary Teachers must have appropriate teaching methods for each lesson How to introduce and test vocabulary they feel excited but still effective Through the practical teaching of the past few years, I have noticed that the old way of teaching and learning vocabulary usually takes the form of: Teacher reads and lists words by teachers who have never appeared in the teaching process new words then teachers write all the new words on the board, explain the meaning in Vietnamese and then read them several times Have the students memorize the new word for examination in the subsequent class That makes them boring and stressful In order to solve this problem, the first semester of school year 2016- 2017 I had a small survey with two classes of grade with a test within 40 minutes The begin of the year The first Term The end of year Class E G A W E G A W E G A W Class 5A 18 19 10 20 Class 5B 19 20 10 20 Vocabulary is one of the most important parts when learning a foreign language, if you want to be good at English, then any vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading and writing, you need as much vocabulary as possible Previously we had the habit of teaching vocabulary by providing numbers, meaning of words, and then capturing them This method is repeated in the lessons that make children bored Now with modern equipment we can apply, create innovative ways to teach vocabulary interestingly, effectively and attractively creating a multi-color playing field in English With the scale of the subject I am not ambitious and not enough to offer all the ways of teaching English vocabulary, but only with these methods of teaching vocabulary will help students learn effectively and not feel pressured to learn vocabulary 2.3 Some of the methods of teaching English vocabulary in elementary school 2.3.1 Use pictures to teach vocabulary - This is a common way but very effective in introducing and learning vocabulary Help students learn words, remember words through pictures Example :( Unit 1: Lesson page - English 5) Laos Korea Malaysia Vietnam Example : Unit :( Lesson 1- page 13 English 5) dictionary paint brushes balloons clock Example 3(: Unit : Lesson 1- page 33 – English 5) shuttlecock karate blindman`s bluff rollerskating birthday table tennis 2.3.2 Teach vocabulary through song, chant, video clip Using video clips, songs, chant is very effective in learning and introducing vocabulary Sometimes they just belong to the song, chant they have a relative vocabulary This method helps children learn from the natural way, without being forced to learn With this method, teachers need to invest time to find songs, chant, video clips that match the content of the lessons, which are suitable for the physiological age of the children I use this method to teach and reinforce vocabulary very effectively Example : Song - Numbers One and one is two Two and two is four Four and one is five Five and five is ten -The song "The big number song" is a good song about the numbers, they can count from to billion but still enjoy Example : The Alphabet Song ABCDEFG HIJKLNMOP QRSTUV XYZ Now I know my ABCs Next time won`t you sing with me -The song "We are the alphabet" is a song that children like when learning about the alphabet Example : Days of the week There are seven days There are seven days There are seven days in a week Sunday, Monday Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday Saturday Example : Colours Song Red,blue,and yellow Green and white And pink and brown Red, blue,and yellow These are beautiful colours 2.3.3 TPR teaching method TPR is a kind of vocabulary geometry that they like very light, attractive, receptive to the game The children can TPR according to the song, chant (see the video clip and follow the activities) Or the teacher just read the words and express the words with action, they say and follow Example : - clap your hand – clap, clap ,clap : vỗ tay - Stand up : đứng lên - sit down : ngồi xuống - shake your hand : lắc tay - shake your body : đung đưa thể - Wash your hand : rửa tay - brush your teeth: đánh - run : chạy - swim : bơi - fly : bay - ride a bike : xe đạp -sing a song : hát -read a book : đọc sách - There are many words and phrases we can teach and learn through the TPR form that makes the English lessons exciting 2.3.4 Give synonyms Example : Bike = bicycle Football = soccer Learn= study Autumn= fall Corn= maize 2.3.5 Proposed antonyms Example :Like - hate Fat – thin Black- white Funny - boring (: Family and Friend : Lesson 1- page 44 ) tall short big small long short weak strong young old 2.3.6 Use real objects Teachers can point to real objects in the classroom and introduce: "a book", "a pen", "a ruler" The teacher then asks the student to look at the object and guess the meaning of the word This method gives them excitement and high attention because the teacher's introduction is something very close to them daily and easy to guess for the children Real items can be around the classroom or the teacher can prepare at home Example1 :(Unit 8- This is my pen page 52Grade ) a book a pen a ruler a pencil a desk a pencil sharpener a school bag Example : Unit 8- My School Subjects Maths Vietnamese Science English Music Art 2.3.7 Methods of vocabulary check * Examine and learn the subject Example - Family : Grandfather, grandmother, mother,

Laos, America, Japan - Sports : voleyball, football, table-tennis, badminton * Give an example - The teacher gave a new sentence, asking the students to replace the word underline Example : What`s the weather like today ? It`s It`s It`s hot sunny cloudy Example : Unit – Leson ( Grade ) What day is it today ? It`s Monday It`s Tuesday It`s Wednesday 2.3.8 Painting Teachers can direct students to draw simple pictures so students can remember longer With this learning method students are easy to learn, easy to remember and very interested Example a flower a cat a bike a book a house an apple 2.3.9 Check vocabulary through the game Games are not always a kind of entertainment In fact, it can be used to reinforce the vocabulary presented in the lesson in a way that appeals to students in an organized and fun way Teachers need to know how to use the games in their lessons so that they can learn and play so that lessons can be relaxed However, depending on the specific lesson, the teacher can choose the appropriate game for the purpose of the lesson * Game : Bingo Example: badminton football * Game : Network Example 1: running volleyball chat activities chess hide and seek cycling Playing football Flying kites Example cold windy weather hot cloudy cool * Circle games: Students speak according to the topic or repeat the words learned in the previous lesson Example :( Unit 7- Lesson2 page Grade ) Pupil : Classroom Pupil : Music room Pupil : Computer room Pupil : Library Example 2: Unit14 Vocabulary (Grade 5) - lesson1 page24 (1,2) with this game Pupil : The legend of watermelon Pupil : Snow White and the Seven Dawfs Pupil : Ali baba and 40 thieves Pupil : The legend of Hoan Kiem Lake * Game : Hangman * Game : Crossword * Slap the board * Jumbled words Here are also some other games I have used to check vocabulary of students are also very interesting and effective: Rub out and remember, What and where, Whisper, Matching, Guessing game 2.3 10 Check vocabulary through pictures 10 * Match words with pictures Example :( Unit 2- Lesson page7 English ) A gate B house C balcony block of flats D E cottage * Look and write words Example : v,n,m,a,e,e,s,i,e,t …………… l,a,n,d,e,g,n ……………… n,y,c,o,l,b,a t,e,a,g …………… 11 *L ook, read and complete each space with the appropriate word Example (Online collection) mother cycling dogs garden nine Hi, My name is Lan I am …… years old There are four people in my family : father, ………., brother and me We are very happy I like cooking and ……… I love the pets I have got three cats and two…………My pets are vevy lovely I am playing with my pets in the ……… now * Look at the pictures and answer the question ( Pupils can give short answers ) Example 1(Online collection) A B C D E -Ask the students to look at the pictures and discuss the questions They can answer with short answers 12 Teacher :What book is in picture D ?

90% of students understand the class at the right time and the ability to practice well the teacher’s requirements 17 3.CONCLUSION 3.1.Recommendations For a successful English lesson, it is important to introduce vocabulary, and help students learn vocabulary, using vocabulary - Teachers need to identify good vocabulary in English to help students improve their skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing Students develop vocabulary, have the ability to choose, arrange Sentence, clear mind Enrich the imagination of imagination and the ability to use words of students This gives students confidence, ability to behave, flexible communication and ability to use English in their daily life and life - Before entering the new lesson, the teacher must clearly define the main content, understand the purpose and requirements of the lesson to choose the appropriate teaching method - Creating a comfortable, lively, cooperative relationship between teachers and students to promote the positive thinking of students Teachers should use simple, understandable terms during lecture - The teacher must have good behavior, exemplary, skillful behavior, enthusiasm for work Input information related to English teaching methods in elementary schools -Understand the psychological characteristics of students at each age - Self-taught teacher always self-study, contact exchange with colleagues experience in teaching - Frequent use of teaching aids, equipment in English My teaching from the beginning of the school year 2009 to the present I see before the new method has not been used to remember very few words, afraid to learn words, but from the application of these methods into effective teaching And their learning has improved significantly Students of general classes are more enamored, excited in the class The results are very promising -The English program is still very heavy compared to the level and age of elementary school students, especially the 5th grade English textbooks It is necessary to reduce vocabulary and knowledge load as well as cut some songs too difficult to teach in English Textbook class - English teachers have to teach too many classes per week and take on more work on limited time Reduce the number of lessons for Primary English Teachers - While teacher inspectors are very strict, the results of their studies have not been rated to create a paradox that many students have no sense of learning or sense of learning but not High quality teaching and improving the quality of learning for children is still difficult Ask for an assessment of your academic 18 performance and English language proficiency to participate in the review process - The subject of English as well as images and sound on pictures need to be clear, sound must be standard (Through the past few exams have many of their images are very fuzzy, there are images difficult to guess) The content of the test should closely follow the textbook - The equipment failure in the English room needs to be repaired and repaired in time 3.2 General Comments As an elementary English teacher, I always worry about how to teach students to understand and grasp the knowledge that they not feel the pressure Therefore, I think that the method of cultivation is not personal but a common problem for all teachers The same problem, the teacher must make it simple, most understandable, most exciting to communicate to the children, help them understand and deepen knowledge In the teaching methods or colleagues I have learned and through the practice of teaching I want to contribute my little effort in teaching methods and testing English vocabulary Primary We look forward to welcoming and contributing your colleagues CONFIRMATION OF SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Thanh Hoa 5, April, 2018 I swear this is my experience initiatives to write, not copy other people's content Nguyen Thi Ha Content Number 19 Introduction Content Initiatives experience Conclusion and recomemmendatio 1.1 Reason of choose topic 1.2 Content initiatives experience Research subjects 1.4 Method of study page 1 2 2.1 Rationale 2.2 The actual situation as unrealized topic 2.3 Some of the methods of teaching English vocabulary in elementary school 2.3.1 Use pictures to teach vocabulary .2.3.2 Teach vocabulary through song, chant, video clip 2.3.3 TPR teaching method 2.3.4 Give synonyms 2.3.5 Proposed antonyms 2.3.6 Use real objects 2.3.7 Methods of vocabulary check 2.3.8 Painting 2.3.9 Check vocabulary through the game 2.3.10 Check vocabulary through pictures 2.3.11.Focus on other words 2.3.12 Check vocabulary through listening 2.4 Effectiveness 3.1.Recommendations 17 3.2 Conclusion 18 3 5 6 10 14 14 16 Category 20 References English Class Textbook English Class Textbook Family and friends books English Book Review class 5( by Bui van Vinh) A Practical English -
