visual standard classroom In addition, The objective of the scheme in 2020: Completely change the teaching and learning applications English Promoting ICT to teach English While these problems have not been enforced in time, the teachers’ selfstudy and research for electronic lesson plans is essential, in order to serve the teaching in general and the learning English in particular Therefore, every teacher we all try our best to learn, to explore, to create, not to hesitate or not to be shy to discuss with other colleagues and IT can be applied quickly and efficiently into each unit of study, that is the best thing to the most successful IT applications, contributing to build friendly schools, active students 2.2 Status of the problem before applying the initiative experience 2.2.1 For the teacher: Most teachers understand the importance and benefits of IT application in writing instructor as well as the integration of teaching English games which need more pictures, audio, and video clips illustrating the real life of the language, especially for secondary school students But until now there remain many teachers who are fearful of using electronic lesson plans because they think it will take time to prepare a period of teaching The implementation of an elaborate lecture by a vivid evidence on the slides in the school is that teachers are often shy away and afraid to use Besides, it was more the idea that, students are now very lazy, addicted to internet and online games, so as to achieve high quality in education, teachers must work very hard, guiding them to finish the homework well lost a lot of time Several other teachers are concerned, if students many students play anything more, they will not take notes, so they not learn much This is also somewhat limited to design games to teach English in general and in particular design on Powerpoint Facilities are lacking as well as one of the problems affecting the teaching of teachers in using the projectors On the other hand, we want to "click" the mouse to truly effective lessons, the teachers had to be hard many times more than the traditional way of teaching In addition to basic knowledge about computers, using PowerPoint software proficiently, teachers need to have real passion, because design work requires creativity, acumen and aesthetic to hunt for data from multiple sources Besides, some teachers said that the design and change games in PowerPoint by higher information technology is very difficult and I was a teacher of English, that is hard to learn it Composing electronic lesson plans has also concentrated in just a few teachers who are interested in IT, not really required So, teachers just some sample lessons and teaching performances, not to invest in teaching every lesson This situation is common in schools 2.2.2 For the students: Most of the children love the subject, are diligent and eager to learn, voluntarily study and homework in class and at home Always enthusiastically participate in post building When they are taught a new form of learning, they are both interested and passionate about the way they are offered It is very helpful in helping children remember the lesson Many students also said that, they did not have enough time to play at recess Besides, they also find English difficult to learn, economic difficulties, social life like Ba Thuoc district, they almost did not get a chance to practice this language in real life Language learning is to attempt to obtain a high score, not to learn to use it as a means of communication in the future However, the survey show that students, if we use the traditional teaching methods with white chalk and blackboard, the performance brings only about 50%, while the efficiency of the method of multimedia (audio - visual) is more than 80% Especially the children enjoyed learning English has integrated into the games, but the games are designed like those that students play computer games at home, it's nice The fact observations show that they are often not aware that they are doing so well at schools This is very good because the teacher has done any work: learning to play, playing to learn Teachers have thus contributed to build friendly schoolroof for the children If the teacher does not provide interesting vivid lessons to be able to relate to reality and compare with Vietnamese, then they will not know where to study, because there are not any language centers with native speakers in Ba Thuoc to learn In order to have accurate data on student quality of English, before conducting the test, I conducted a survey of 62 students of grade th at Ban Cong Secondary School, Ba Thuoc district, Thanh Hoa province Let us observe the statistic table of pre-study results as follows: Table 1: Pre-study results Good 20 32 % Amount 62 % Weak Amount Amount % Average Amount Total Grade Excellent % 29 47 11 18 Besides, I also tested the student's passion for English, the results as follows: Table 2: Check the students’ passion 14 22.5 16 26 Not interest % Amount % Less interest Amount % Normal Amount % Interest Amount 62 Amount Amounts Grade Very interest 20 32 % 14,5 2.2.3 For the school : The school's facilities: computers, projectors are fully equipped to create very favorable conditions for teachers and students to use 2.3 The solutions were used to solve the problem Each English unit is equivalent to a new language lesson Each lesson is taught for a different duration (maybe or periods), depending on the length and difficulty of the lesson Therefore, in each 45-minute lesson, teachers must design a 45-minute lesson plan to suit the characteristics and level of students In terms of themes, I would not say more about the effects of games in English that I would prefer to offer solutions, experience and how to design a number of popular games in the power point when teaching English at Ban Cong Secondary school Since this is the field of technology on how to communicate differently and receive information to students First, the design of the power point games, most of us use the technique Trigger and visual basic programming objects which are available to MS PowerPoint and supporting PC operating system with MS Office suite is enough Second, the new "interactive and depends on the object" is one of the effects in PowerPoint, this is not a new problem, but it is new to this form of teaching Lastly , the experience I shared what was sure that the teachers who are not proficient and crestfallen in composing electronic lesson plans can find and use Partly to bring the excitement and attract all students enrolled in the learning process to achieve higher results, including poor students  Solutions to design the popular games in teaching English effectively In this year school, I have successfully implemented a number of common games while teaching English at Ban Cong Secondary school, specifically for grades which I use projectors and embedded games in Powerpoint My lessons gave them the excitement, passion in English, even if they are good students as well as weak students It was thanks to this that the quality of my teaching comes up positive each year So, let me share solutions to design some common games that I have done successfully and efficiently as follows: 2.3.1 Chatting (Used to WARM UP) Getting started usually takes a very short time compared to the lesson, but is extremely important This is the first job the teacher does when entering the classroom, opening a lesson However, the form in the lesson needs to always change to attract students, depending on the purpose and specificity of the lesson, the teacher can choose specific activities to suit (this part can be used as warm up for a linguistic lesson) Example: English Unit 11: Traveling around Vietnam (Getting started) T: Do you like traveling ? Ss: …………………… T: Which places you want to visit in Vietnam ? Ss: …………………… Students can freely ask and answer about places they know or have been to When composing with electronic lesson plans, teachers can project the landscapes or specific characteristics of some places to suggest students This will attract more students to the lesson 2.3.2 Brainstorming: (Used to WARM UP) 2.3.2.1 Outline of the game The "Brainstorming" trick means presenting a topic for the whole class to comment on, the teacher’s tip can be written on Microsoft Powerpoint, it doesn't take time because you have to prepare, in this tip you only need to write the topic and ask students to give their ideas, can compare and compare according to the answers shown on the screen To design, I have used textbox in the Control Toolbox to be able to interact with students during the slideshow It means that,if only at a basic level, it can’t interact back and forth in the slide show, the teacher can’t add to what students say Specifically, while the PowerPoint presentation slides, any further action on the keyboard or the mouse pointer will only make a certain object or slide appears, therefore we can not write a text paragraph when playing normally However, how to use the TextBox in the Control Toolbox allows users to add text even when the program is being shown It is interesting that this utility program are available in PowerPoint and using it is very simple and easy For example: English Unit 11: Traveling around Vietnam Period 69: Lesson 4: Read Brainstorming (Getting started) Reuse bottles Ways to reduce the reuse plastics bags amount of garbage Recycle old bottles Use paper to wrap food 2.3.2.2.Steps to create a game Step 1: Open the PPT file, go to View, Toolbars Control Toolbox Step 2: On AutoShapes drawing circles and arrows In the circle, rightclick, select Add Text to write from the mainstream should elicit Next, in the Control Toolbox toolbar, select the box Text box (box with letters abc), then the mouse will have a plus sign (+), drag the mouse to the arrows on the screen and drag your mouse to draw a box Text box with white Step 3: Right click the Text Box now just created, click Properties and set the following parameters Step 4: Copy and paste that square on the left arrow With a simple way, in addition to designing games Brainstorming or Networks, I can create other lectures as additional types of exercises simple multiple choice and many other exercises to support additional abundant lessons frame box appear as hollow inside ExterKey Behavior: select True (Allows writing in the text ) Multiline: select True (To be able to write a lot of lines, if a cell write two or more lines) In addition, during the lecture, students see that my presentation slides are not only what I ''arrange '' and ask students to listen to, or follow, so by this design, I called some students, who type faster on your computer, directly type their answers This makes them feel much more indifferent than doing on the blackboard and encourage them to learn foreign languages With this exercise, students will use the keyboard and type in any answer box that you can it Then the teacher can feedback and correct them 2.3.3 Matching game (Used to WARM UP) 2.3.3.1 Outline of the game Matching" teachers we often use because it is fast and does not take time Students are excited, this trick is very easy to compose on the computer, and teachers not have to spend time using teaching equipment, using posters or supplementary boards If you match words with pictures, you can scan pictures and have pictures, and visual images of students can easily practice and the class becomes lively, instead of the traditional way of teaching, just looking at pictures in books And in this way of composing on a large screen with clear pictures and we can change the picture more vividly without being different from the topic, students can easily focus and pay attention For this game, we need parts: the front and back parts of the game and the links When doing the effect, lines will appear connecting the front and back parts You can also give the answer as follows 1 d Example: English Unit : Making arrangement Lesson 1: Getting started An address book A telephone directory 18 2.3.12.2.Steps to creat a game Step Create the objects You create text boxes, type text, select color, draw a circle, then copy and paste the circles so that the circles are even Step Create an effect + Animate questions and answers to appear Add effect Entrance + Create an effect for the circle to appear Add effect Entrance Create triggers effect (See games above) Timing… Triggers: Start effect on click of: Shape 4: a In which shape is the text box containing the answer (a) When you click on the answer (a), a circle will appear + Create an effect for the circle to disappear Add effect Exit Create triggers effect (See above) Timing… Triggers: Start effect on click of: Shape 4: a Where shape is the text box containing the answer (a) Clicking on the answer (a) one more time (after the circle appears) will make the circle disappear (to use in case you have to choose another answer) + Create an effect for the phrase You’re right Create triggers effect (See above) Timing… Triggers: Start effect on click of: Oval In which Oval is a circle (you can use another image) When you click on this circle, the answer You’re right will be Step Copy and paste Note: you just need to create a complete effect for one answer (a) then press Ctrl, select a, circle, You're right, copy, paste and edit abc, you're right You 're wrong Arrange the position of the circle, the answers to be reasonable After having a complete Multiple choice sentence, you can copy and paste into many other sentences Sort and edit the content of questions, answers and answers If possible, just use the You’re right, You’re wrong 19 For you're wrong for effects that appear, Create triggers to match effect with the 1st wrong sentence and the other effect to match the 2nd wrong sentence If there are many wrong sentences on a slide, then so many effects To avoid unfamiliar case, you give sentence slide 2.4 The effect of initiative experience for educational activities, with myself, the colleagues and the school After a period of applying IT in teaching with Microsoft Powerpoint software, I noticed that the quality is improved, give excitement of learning in each student, they focused on the lesson more the lesson better This helps them absorb the knowledge of the teacher more effectively than before The acquisition of all students is greatly improved At the beginning of the school year, many students are afraid of English, they not like school because it is difficult to understand, to acquire, so far the quality of education has increased quite evenly The majority of the children is most interested in learning English, they are excited about the lessons, they can remember the content and structure easily To evaluate the process of implementing my thesis in the last school year, I took a survey for students and got the results according to the following statistics table: Table 3: Results after conducting the research 33 % 53 % % 21 34 % Weak Amount 13% Average Amount % Good Amount 62 Amount Total Grade Excellent % The results showed that, 100% achieved from average or above, there were no less weak students, of which 53% of them were quite good and accounted for 8% of excellent students Based on the results of two surveys, I have a specific comparison table before and after the topic as follows The results are showned in table 5, 6, and in schedule Table 4: Check the students’ interest Very interest Interest Normal Less interest Not interest 20 16 25 40 20 32 % Amount 10 % Amount Amount 62 % Amount Amounts Amount Grade % 10 % From the statistical table, students completely changed their attitude to the subject, the percentage of students who were interested in studying English increased significantly, the number of students who did not like it decreased completely In the last school year, after applying the application of information technology in teaching, the quality of mass students was improved, moreover, there were students who won prizes in the competition for excellent students in the cluster However, it should be said that, even if the effect that the electronic lesson plans brings is very useful, but it does not mean that we can also teach every lesson by electronic lesson plans Because, if there is no white chalk blackboard, sometimes students will not know where to more their exercises, to give more additional example Therefore, teachers need to combine flexibility of the method with the most efficient result, because there is no optimal unique method at all Finally, I want to say that the experience of designing the most common some games in teaching English that I share and I hope that they will help you teach better in near future This initiative not only applies to English teachers in grade but also applies to all teachers Conclusion and requests 3.1 Conclusion Above this, it is the teaching methods applied IT in lectures with practical English teaching I noticed that in the process of teaching, teachers should try to apply the method in a flexible manner so as to be suitable to content and students To response to the innovation of teaching methods in schools, as a teacher of foreign languages, I look forward to contributing my small part along with teachers and peers to build a new teaching method which is effective and better to make students more interested in learning languages They can learn actively to communicate with confidence in his own ability Because of time and energy is limited, I made sure to have many mising short problems Along with their small experience I hope colleagues have more experience than making sincere comments help me continue to build more effective lessons and apply my lessons for teaching more effectively 3.2 Requests 21 The education department should create training for all teachers to attend training on IT application in teaching… to contribute to the creation of human resources with adequate investment in English subjects Schools need to be fully equipped with audio-visual equipment, teaching electronic lesson plans, requiring projectors (projector), loudspeakers to serve teaching Above are some solutions to improve the quality of English in Ban Cong Secondary School, Ba Thuoc district , Thanh Hoa province that I have done and the results have been achieved in improving the quality of students, inevitably the shortcomings are inevitable During the research process, there are still many difficulties, so the initiative is certainly still limited Therefore, I hope the scientific council at all levels and the experienced colleagues to give me suggestions so that my topic is more complete and from there I sincerely thank the organizers of the provincial experience initiative contest, the colleagues, and the teachers who created conditions to help me complete the initiative !
