For that reason, in my teaching experience, I chose the topic " Experience in enhancing ability to communicate English for grade ” with the desire to give some small experiences to help teaching vocabulary more lively and helping students to remember vocabulary better 1.2 The purpose of research English is a language used in many countries around the world This is the time of consolidation, communicating with foreign friends to understand and understand this language is extremely important The purpose of this topic is to contribute to improving the quality of teaching and learning English, helping students to better learn four English skills and help students feel more interested in learning and learning Mastering vocabulary will also help students to use this language fluently, giving them confidence in communicating with international friends Furthermore, the research purpose of this topic also helps to improve my own pedagogy After a period of teaching in elementary school and learning from friends and colleagues, I found that my students were always afraid of new words So, I've done some ways to help students learn new words more effectively 1.3 The subject of research In this experience initiative, I focus on the following subjects: Students in grades in Quang Cat Primary school 1.4 The methods of research -Attend classes, learn from your peers and some of your own experiences - Observe the students' acquisition of knowledge in the teaching process - Examine students' competencies - Research from teaching materials, collections and resources on teaching methods from the Internet The content 2.1 Rationnale Primary level of education is a solid foundation for the development of knowledge and skills for higher education For elementary age children to school as they reach out to a new knowledge - rich and diverse Teaching English in the school's goal is to teach students how to use good English, to be effective Teaching English at Primary Children's craft is capable of using English words, the children formed a basic understanding of English and use English skills to communicate Now teaches English through enabling students to develop their thinking, students formed ideas, healthy emotions, clarity, shape them with the good qualities: It is compassion, heart dutiful, loving, respect, love for humanity Teach English language like other languages taught natural process is often heard before, say after, then read and write If students can not hear can not speak English fluently is From many years of teaching programs Let's Learn English, then to the new program, from the reference program teaches English advanced online I found to help elementary students to communicate in English quickly and effectively the teaching speaking skills to students is very important, it helps them feel more confident when communicating in English 2.2 The situation of the problem 2.2.1 Advantages: In recent years, the teaching and learning of English by the method of innovation is interested by the Department of Education and the Office of Education and Thanh hoa city training & education official interested The Office of Education and Training Thanh hoa city has also organized the contest good teachers, regular inspection of schools, classes to attend visiting hours consulting teachers and promote innovative teaching methods to teach higher results In addition, the Department also facilitates education for teachers in English classes participated in the thematic approach changes in curriculum and teaching methods For the students, the students curriculum and new textbooks, access to new methods of teaching and new ways of learning, many students have formed motor learning and academic achievement attitude more extreme, more English favorite subjects 2.2.2 Difficulties: Most students are not paying attention and investing in foreign languages, preparing a sketchy way to deal in very weak when they learn this subject Since then, they have boring school psychology in English During school hours, the majority of them are usually passive, lack of flexibility, problems in reading English, speaking and participating at speaking lesson to learn Elementary school students are the children, the level of their awareness is low, the quality of academic disciplines asynchronous Many students have not focused on other subjects than English that are electives so students themselves and even parents are not interested in this subject Moreover, in the order they not cultivate the knowledge learned in class to the majority of students not apply what they have learned and develope conventions of their listening and speaking skills Some students because of family conditions are not sufficiently material to foster self- learning and more Many parents are not really interested in their children's learning and the majority of parents not know English subjects to tutoring, to help children Difficulties with teachers in the teaching process, which is mostly in the rural school facilities conditions are scarce Teaching aids are limited in English with no teaching aids, facilities used for learning The school lacks classrooms listening function - visual standards for English courses should not meet the requirements for all students learn English Although English is the only primary school in electives However, it has important properties beginning in the next school year in grade two So it holds a significant role in the learning process of the children It equips them vocabulary, grammar and sentence patterns minimal, basic, simplest revolves around the theme very close, was their favorite and familiar, is the point of introducing all relatives, school themes, friends, family topics and other topics (the world around them) Therefore, to inspire and reinforce students' knowledge is an extremely important work often Because this affects very much motivated by the children, a basic factors affecting the process of learning a foreign language: No child will not learn the engine and the consolidation of knowledge also inculcate more the corpus of the lessons learned in a systematic way, as a solid foundation to help them learn better, more confident in the learning process later For the quality of their courses to achieve the best results the school had truly charismatic, playful atmosphere comfortable, inspire students to absorb foreign culture that they themselves have not been know So how to make effective teaching methods, given the actual lectures and lively and charismatic student is not an easy question to answer for each of our teachers 2.2.3 Survey before applying themes and causes: * Survey topics before applying: SURVEY THE FIRST LIVE INTERVIEW (GRADE 4) What's your name ? How are you ? How old are you? Where 's your school ? What's the weather like ? (point to some shots) What are they doing ? (point to some pictures) What color is it / are they? Is it big / small? (point to the school objects) Is this your book / ruler? How many pets / toys you have? 10 What you at break time? When the subject is not applicable: THE TABLE OF SURVEY RESULS (September - 2020) Grad e Number of students Excellence Good Average Weak 92 Ss ≈ 8,7% 25 Ss ≈ 27,2% 40 Ss ≈ 43,5% 19 Ss ≈ 20,6% * Causes: In the form of direct interviews for children grade - school year 20202021, I find students often make the following mistakes: + Errors in pronunciation: - It is important that pupils should have difficulty pronouncing certain sounds such as: r, l, sh and th So be patient and teachers spend a lot of time for students to practice pronunciation However, the children started learning English should not be concerned excessive cultivation accent and pronunciation precisely because if too much attention can make children lack confidence in learning - In addition, they have not pronounce words that sound s, z, p, k Example : / s / - > desk, house, pencil, school, classroom, sister, Miss / z / - > close , he's, Mrs, eraser, puzzle, businessman, shoes / p / - > lamp, pen, pencil, pupil, pet, open, skipping / k / - > milk, like, close, classroom, desk, school, book - Most students have not hit the right tone accent in pronouncing words Example: e'raser, 'father, 'living room, 'library, 'table, be'hind + Errors in vocabulary: - Students also read a lot of wrong Most of them not remember vocabulary, especially since there are more syllables For example: children, dining room, computer, hamburger, businessman, supermarket, pharmacy, crocodile, mineral water, trousers + Errors in grammar: - They have not identified the location of the type of word (verb, preposition, adjective, noun, question words) No form complete sentences should not fear mistakes dare say Example: Who's that? - That's my friend What's his name? There are two chairs behind the desk Where does he work? He works for a bus company She looks sporty So how to make effective teaching methods, given the actual lectures and lively and charismatic students to communicate in English is not an easy question to answer for each teacher 2.3 The solutions to the problem To learn more gently, and effectively attract the attention of young English language learners, teachers require to invest in furniture and teaching methods to indoctrinate students Pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar relationships formed close together and practice the skills, speaking, reading and writing for students 2.3.1 Causing excitement right from into post: - Teaching a lesson usually begins with the introduction The introduction is to prepare students to step into a new mood, a new academic position If introductions bring emotional words, rich images, vivid would make fun of me waiting for the learning, the program is exploring, is engaged in the lesson So teachers should not overlook this part If possible we should accumulate yourself or introductions, initially attractive to contribute to the success of the lesson The introduction of all forms : Example 2: Unit 13: WOULD YOU LIKE SOME MILK ?– Lesson (English Book - Grade - new program) - Teacher points at the picture on page 18 (Students’ book) and asks: + Who are they? + Where are they? + What are they saying? - Teacher introduces: “Tom and Mai are in the canteen, they are talking about their favourite food and drink And what is your favourite food and drink?
