When we know a foreign language, especially English It will help you open up employment opportunities, being able to speak a foreign language helps to make a real connection with people and to know more about diverse cultures, places, and lifestyles The more proficient you are, the better you can express yourself Learning English is not only useful, but it also gives a lot of opportunities, and making progress will make you feel great There are some skills you need to master when learning English are reading, speaking, listening and grammar Each skill has its own importance First, What is grammar? "Grammar is the structural foundation of our ability to express ourselves The more we are aware of how it works, the more we can monitor the meaning and effectiveness of the way we and others use language It can help foster precision, detect ambiguity, and exploit the richness of expression available in English."[1] David Crystal, "In Word and Deed," TES Teacher, April 30, 2004 There are many parts of grammar, and each part can make students confused when learning it When I had a chance to teach class 11B8 at Thach Thanh III High School, I tested their general knowledge about grammar I looked at the result I finally realized that they passed a word form exercise When I asked them the reason? They said it was so difficult and they couldn’t it Word formation is a kind of exercise you'll find in any exams in English In this exercise, you have to change the word given (or the root) so that it fits the sentence logically and grammatically.[2] Because there are many suffixes or prefixes and there are many ways to change verbs to nouns or adjectives Why is good word-formation so important in English? It makes you easier to understand The first and foremost reason for editing your writing and thinking about your grammar when you’re speaking is that it makes you easier to understand When you speak and write grammatically, you can be confident that your message is being understood without any misinterpretations It improves your English skills Having a strong grasp of English grammar will help improve your English skills overall Over time, being able to speak and write correctly builds your confidence while speaking English [3] To help students who have a general view of the word form as well as have a selection method, orientation of the solution method, specific steps suitable for that type of problem, so I have done the research, “The way that students in class 11B8 deal with word formation exercises in English 11 at Thach Thanh III High School” 1.2 Purpose of the research In our everyday lives, grammar is everywhere We use it at home, at school, at work, and in the streets It is the core of a language regardless of one’s culture, mastery, and understanding of it.[4] After teaching at 11B8, I saw my students who had to face many difficulties, and even they neither knew any kinds of word nor suffixes or prefixes In the test or homework, they chose to quit these exercises instead of doing them For these reasons, I decided to apply my method in doing word form exercises to teach them I would like to help the students recognize the parts of speech when they should use and improve their judgment to different types of exercises such as multiple-choice, give the correct form of words in the text, and choose the answer that needs correction When using these methods to solve the exercises, students were more interested, saw the beauty and richness of the words 1.3 Scope of the research I applied these methods to the students in class 11B8 at Thach Thanh III High School They can this exercise in fifteen minutes test, semester exam, homework and even for Training and national high school English Graduation Exam questions 1.4 Method of the research To this research well, I had to: - Draw from the experience of my teaching - Consult many documents, especially methods of study - Study colleagues’ experience - Guide the students understand basing on theoretical basis, theoretical analysis through practicing doing some types of exercises II Content of the research 2.1 Theoretical basis Word formation is a very important aspect of most languages, and English is no exception The term “word formation” refers to the processes through which new words are created.[5] Given its significance in the English language exams So, I decided to choose this theme with purpose: Help students when they see such exercises like these, they can know some steps to solve them quickly Help students know specifically about what verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prefixes, suffixes are, and the position of them Solve some exercises and guide students to answer 2.2 The reality of the problem Even though English is a compulsory subject in schools, my students in class 11B8 are not really interested in learning it They are only dealing with exams, or because it is a compulsory exam subject in graduation exams They not voluntarily review old knowledge, the exercises that the teacher sends home to One of the reasons above is that they not have much vocabulary or are afraid to look up new words as well as words when doing the test But we know that vocabulary plays an important role in completing assignments, such as grammar, with the urgent need to learn a foreign language and the practical learning situation of students I chose the topic: “The way that the students in class 11B8 deal with word formation exercises in English 11 at Thach Thanh High School” to help students recognize word types, grasp vocabulary formation skills and know how to fill words in grammatically correct form with the context mentioned Because the exercises choose or fill in the correct form of the words is an important grammar point, relatively difficult, appearing in English grammar They often encounter this type of exercise in graduation exams, colleges and universities 2.3 Solution and organization of implementation Most words in English have different forms for different parts of speech, but not all words have all forms And they have the different function too Some words look the same for different parts of speech Example: Noun Verb Adjective Adverb Beauty Beatify Beautiful Beautifully Flight Fly Flying X Independence X Independent Independently 2.3.1 General progress - Recall basic concepts of grammar (definitions of noun, verb, adjective, ….) - Signs to identify type words or how to form words (the part(s) of speech and basic ways to form new words in English) - Instruct students to look at the related words in front or behind to deduce the correct form of the word to be filled in Example: Cherry is a beautiful girl (beauty) ↓ ↓ ↓ article adjective noun Noun 2.3.2 Specific progress This is the part that causes students to be confused and difficult to understand, so our teachers lead directly into the word to be taught, creating students' focus - Provide words (help students discover the word type of the given word based on the form of the word) + Nouns are words with suffixes: - tion, - sion, -er, -or + Adjectives are words with suffixes: - able, - ful, - less, - al + Regular adverbs with suffix: - ly - Provide meaning - Practice reading for students (teachers read samples, students read in unison) 2.3.3 Following steps 2.3.3.1.Nouns 2.3.3.1.1 Definition of nouns Nouns talk about to, animals, persons, things, ideas, events or places… Nouns cover most of the words of a language 2.3.3.1.2 Functions of nouns Nouns can be used as a subject, a direct object, and an indirect object of a verb; as an object of a preposition; and as an adverb or adjective in sentences Nouns can also show possession 2.3.3.1.3 Position of nouns a Locate the main verb in the sentence to identify the noun (Noun stand in front of the sentence and before verb) Example: The dog ran away N V b Come after article a/ an/ the Example: Cherry is a teacher Article N *Warning: Sometimes an adjective will precede the noun Watch out for sentences like: -

position by basing on position of them - Recognize part of speech by look at the suffixes - Know how to change the word type as needed based on the suffixes Especially, now they try to think and this exercise At the end of the school year I tested the students again I had this result: Before Class Number of Good Average Weak students students students students 11B8 41 0% 35% 65% After Class Number of Good Average Weak students students students students 11B8 41 9% 80% 12% Look at the table we can see: the number of class 11B8: 41 students At the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year, the rate of good students is 0%, average rate is: 35%, the rest are weak students After one school year 2020-2021, the rate of excellent accounted for 9%, average rate: 80% III Conclusion and recommendation 1.1 Conclusion The industrialization and modernization process of the country has made renovation requirements for teaching and learning Therefore, to constantly 23 improve the learning quality of students, the teacher must prepare well for lessons, explore and be creative while developing lesson plans, avoiding the one-way, theoretical, little encouragement of students' creative thinking Besides, students need to keep all the theories in their hands Although The word-formation theory is long and difficult, we can't deny its importance For this reason, I must admit that in the process of learning this topic, teachers and students have to spend a lot of time practicing and reviewing together In the end, students understood the essence of words and filled them in the right position 1.2 Recommendation Word formation isn’t the most difficult part of English grammar, but it's not an easy part I petition with English teachers in Thach Thanh High School who can consult my research in this topic On the other hand, I also hope that teachers should: Check students’ understanding regularly Try to make chances for average students and week students taking part in grammar activities, and they are instructed by excellent students Always make fun, Create excitement, promote students' learning motivation Always ask students to the assigned homework - Try to find out specific types of exercises to apply to each lesson suitable for three types of students (excellent, average, weak) - Regularly attend other teachers' lessons, learn the experiences of the teachers who had a lot of teaching experience Above are some of my own experiences in the process of participating in teaching about the topic "Word formation" Although they have been able to apply vocabulary more and more effectively, the research on training methods is certainly limited In the coming time, I will try to continue to study, apply practicing, learn from experience for this topic to achieve higher results
