this need and the problems that learners face during learning English, this action research was conducted with the aim at improving students‟ English language learning through Flipped Classroom Model technique to the eleventh graders at a high school in Ha Noi in the academic year of 2017-2018 and investigating their attitudes toward this technique Forty three participants were involved in the research during 16 weeks of the second term The present study was concerned with using Flipped Classroom techniques as a vocabulary teaching aid by administering pre-test, post-test and questionnaire as the research instruments The results showed that students‟ achievements in all four language skills were higher after the intervention Although the general achievement was not so impressive, it however indicates that Flipped Classroom Model is still an effective learning method and worth applying in English language teaching and learning Besides, most of the students showed their agreement on the use of Flipped Model as it helped them to be more motivated, active, and engaged in learning It also created a friendly learning environment where students felt more confident, cooperative and responsible during learning process In general, Flipped Classroom Model academically, socially and psychologically iii improved students‟ outcomes TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ii

contrastingly forms when Pacific trade winds grow more powerful than usual It is the result of the cooler-than-average temperatures of South American equatorial surface waters which cause global cooling La Nina duration usually lasts for to 10 months and although forming in the Pacific region, it can wreak havoc across large swaths of the world During the winter months, the western Pacific areas including Australia, Malaysia, and the Philippines have much greater rainfall Conversely, unusually dry conditions settle in over North America‟s Gulf Coast and large sections of South and Central America as well Additionally, in the Canadian and American West, there is a cooling effect By studying the patterns of the El Nino and La Nina cycles, meteorologists have come to better understand their impacts of global weather phenomena They are thus better able to make predictions especially in terms of not only the strength of each stage, but also when either will fizzle out or begin again, allowing governments to better prepare for floods and droughts which come with each cycle and to prevent billions of dollars in losses and damage Thereby, the areas under their influence need accurate forecasts to reduce the wide-reaching effects these phenomena have across many facets of both the environment and the economy The word „upwelling‟ in the passage most likely means A climbing B surging C rising D fluctuating Which of the following is stated in paragraph 1? A Cold water is conductive to marine life and beneficial to the fishing industry B El Nino and La Nina are yearly recurrences affecting the Earth‟s climate and weather systems C Some regions in Indonesia and Australia are often damaged by the Southern Oscillation XV D Trade winds blow to the east across the Pacific Ocean cooling ocean temperatures Why are droughts, increased precipitation, flooding, and even cyclonic storms mentioned? A To compare the damage in the eastern and western Pacific regions B To name some of the devastating results of El Nino C To contrast the power between El Nino and La Nina D To show that there are worse outcomes compared to a difference in air pressure The word „fuels‟ in the passage is closest in meaning to _ A decreases B increases C supplies D distinguishes The word „they‟ in the passage refers to A The El Nino and La Nina cycles B meteorologists C global weather phenomena D governments The main purpose in paragraph is to _ A show the detrimental effects the El Nino and La Nina cycles have on the art of weather prediction B refute the idea that predictions are far too costly given their limited applications C demonstrate the importance of predicting the patterns of the Southern Oscillation D emphasize the excellence of the current scientific technology used in prediction According to the passage, all of the following are mentioned EXCEPT _ A the equatorial region in the Pacific Ocean in which the circulation of cold water mostly occurs XVI B meteorologists‟ capability to forecast the strength of cyclonic storms C Malaysia‟s higher levels of precipitation in winter when there is a La Nina D experts‟ prediction power to state when each cycle of El Nino and La Nina will start and stop Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A More government money will be spent on technology to better predict the phenomena and save money in the long run B Global warming will change the patterns of El Nino and La Nina in a few years C Countries whose economy is largely dependent upon fishing world place a higher value on prediction than countries which rely primarily on agriculture D The government of Peru pays more attention to monitoring ocean temperatures than other countries SECTION 3: WRITING Human activity has had a negative impact on plants and animals around the world Some people think that this cannot be changed while others believe actions can be taken to bring about a change Discuss both and give your opinion ………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………… XVII SECTION 4: SPEAKING Part 1: Introduce yourself Your introduction may include the following information: - Your name, age - Your interest/ hobby - Your family/ friend - Your schooling Part 2: Share your opinion about the following questions: Do you think pollution is a big problem nowadays?
