(Sáng kiến kinh nghiệm) experiece initiactive some stricks teach vocabulary for 6th grade students

EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS PART I:  BACKGROUND   As we know, English is an important language, commonly used worldwide and is used in different fields. In the national construction, development and integration with the world, English has become a vital tool, work tool and communicative  tool   between   all   of   the   modern   people,   it is   an   important second language after their mother tongue. Teaching English from secondary schools   is   very   necessary   and   contributes   to   the   education   of   the   younger generation   to   become   comprehensive   people. English   learners   have   the opportunity to learn, access to the rich, fascinating culture of oldest countries in the world. In our country, English is considered the language of transaction in   economics,   politics,   culture,   and   has   been   teaching   at   the   elementary, secondary, college, university   In process of learning English, we know more in another language, a different culture and also more love Vietnamese and Vietnamese culture. To use English as a language of communication, we not only need to master  the  rules of  grammar, have good  listening  skills,  have knowledge   of   the   language   but   also   to   have   a   number   of   diversified,   rich lexical. In teaching and learning English, vocabulary is one of three elements forming the system of language knowledge, it is the mean and condition of formation and development of communication skills. In any language, the role of vocabulary is also very important. It is possible that a language is a subset of the  vocabulary. Can   not   understand   the  language   without   understanding  the vocabulary, or lexical units. Thus, learning and practicing vocabulary skills is the leading factor in the transmission of a passive and receptive language in general and English in particular. Because vocabulary is a language unit so it is expressed in two forms: speech and handwriting. If you want to use a foreign language, that is, you must master the expressive forms from the verbal and writing. But   due   to   the   association   of   words   with   the   other   elements   of language (grammar, pronunciation, intonation  ) or in social situations, many researchers believe that to build a wall language vocabulary is the "bricks" and the grammar and sentence structure as "grout" to mount the brick wall creates language. Without a vocabulary necessary, students can not use the sentence structure and the function of language in communication From   the   above   reasons,   I   have   researched   and   applied   effectively   the experience initiatives "Some strisks teach vocabulary students" and I am pleased to present to you. Due to the limited time and limited experience, my initiative should not be experienced as unwanted, I am looking forward to  your contributions to my ideas more complete Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS PART II: SOLVING PROBLEMS I The basis issues Vocabulary   is   one   of   the   tools   people   use   to   think,   express   ideas, emotions and learn about the world, is the foundation for all development skills such as reading comprehension, listening comprehension, speaking, writing,  It is also the major tool that help students use English effectively. Indeed, when talking to a native English speaking person, watch a movie without English subtitles, listening to a favorite song or read English documents,   we will always be exposed to from vocabulary A famous linguist once said if we does not learn grammar well,we can still achieve something, but if we do not have the vocabulary, we wouldn’t able to express anything at all. Native speakers can understand the article correctly use   vocabulary   that   is   not   grammatically   correct. However,   they   will   not understand grammatically correct article, but do not use the exact words A   reality   show,   Vietnam   students   learning   English   often   encounter obstacles in   how   to   speak   English   fluently.  They   often   find   it   difficult   to participate in activities related to the speaking skill, because they only use a few   repetitive   structures   and   vocabulary. Thus,   their   communication   was interrupted abruptly early due to lack of vocabulary In   short,   if   they     not   have   the   vocabulary   skills,   their   listening, speaking, reading and writing skill will not be developed. If you do not have enough   vocabulary,   the   people   will   have   problems,   even   failure   in communication   Recognizing   the   importance   of   this,   today   all   applicable methods   in   teaching   are   focused to   teach   vocabulary. And   start   learning English is always associated with learning vocabulary Therefore, in the teaching process I thought about how students acquire vocabulary   best   to   help   students   create   the   atmosphere   lively   language learning, help them remember the lessons from the right in, from which they can more easily use the word in the communication process II. The reality of the research Reality: 1.1 Advantages: Phu Hai Toai Secondary School is the National Standard, my school has a total of 12 classes with 425 students.  The   School   Management   is   particularly   interested   in   teaching   and learning English in school Program   content   textbooks   appropriate,   closer   to   the   daily   life   of students   with   many   beautiful   pictures,   eye-catching,   so   the   program   have generated  excitement in learning for students The   development   of   information   technology   and   Internet   can   help teachers easily find the resources to support teaching via the Internet Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS The   teacher   has   a   high   sense   of   responsibility   and   enthusiasm   in teaching, reach the Standard level B2 1.2 Difficulties: Through practical teaching of English in secondary school fifteen years ago, I found this course quality is still low due to several reasons: Limitation of teaching equipment: Phu Hai Toai Secondary School has less visual aids for teaching and learning. The   school   does   not   have   audio-visual   classrooms   dedicated   to learning English. The procurement of equipment for self-study English in their family’s students will be extremely difficult, not every family can afford Opportunities to practice English not much: My school is located in a small commune, students don’t apply what they   have   learned   to   everyday   life. The   children   should   not   be   exposed   to foreigners to practice English. Scope of practice English is done only in the classroom   hours. Therefore,   they   always   feel   that   learning   English   is mandatory, just learn to get points but they are not aware of learning English as a tool to communicate later Limitation of time and form of organization of the activities in class: Secondary   students   are   very   active,   inquisitive   but   also   very   quickly bored. The school alone will make you feel very monotonous lessons, so they would   love  learning while playing, learning that the school playplay. However they are small, their writing speed very slow leading to limited time to organize other activities interfere simple as learning to sing, play the game   Also, if you have the time to organize activities that was not rich Low motor and awareness of learning: English is a pricipal subject in secondary school, so some students and even   their   parents   are   not   aware   of   the   importance   of   learning   English   A number of children attending school is mandatory, they have no motivation in the  learning   process. In  fact,   English   is  a   new  course  for   secondary   school students, so they can not avoid the initial surprise, besides that this is a difficult course   with   the   sound   and   strange   writing   that   they   can   not   avoid   certain difficulties. First, they are excited with the subject but gradually, due to the amount   of   knowledge   and   increasingly   more   and   more   difficult,   if   they themselves don’t study actively, they vill not understand the lessons, this will lead to their depression, and they will not want to learn. Also a special reason why   they   have   psychological   problems   because   of   the   school's   Englishspeaking children do not read well. In fact, when I teach this subject, I found that a good talk, a good read for secondary students, is not so easy because the remembering   of   the  new   words   and   phrases   in  the  English   lessons   is   very difficult, especially for secondary school students in general and students in Phu Hai Toai Secondary School in particular. The slow reading and writing of Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS secondary students is the cause of this situation, the retention of the children is not reliable and not deep, forgotten homework right after the previous post, most   of   them   are   not   bold   and   flexible   in   applying   what   was   learned   to communicate   with   each   other   during   school   hours   or   during   everyday activities Result and effect of the current reality I studied the method of teaching vocabulary for students at Phu Hai Toai Secondary School Initially, through the monitor of the students’ studying, I realied that the students were afraid of learning English vocabulary, they were very worried when I checked the vocabulary of the privious lessons. At the end of the first semester (mid-December) of Academic Year 2014- 2015, I had made a small test vocabulary for 6th grade Grade 6:  (Unit 8)

Table 1: Survey Results of the Classes 6A, 6B, 6C Academic Year 2014-2015 (December 2014) Class Total 6A 6B 6C 30 34 29 Good Fair Medium Weak Number % Number % Number % Number % 13.3 23.3 14 46.7 16.7

satisfactory, the number of students achieving good results is low, the number of students with weak results is even higher. From that result, I presume to give you some tips to teach English vocabulary and to improve students’ learning And I want to introduce with you "some tricks to teach vocabulary for 6th grade students" to consult with colleagues III. The solution implemented Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS Solution 1: Apply all forms that help students to remember new words fast, pronounce correctly after each class lesson Solution 2: Apply the new and flexible method to organize the rich and diversified lessons to inspire students, help them to acquire all the better Solution 3: Apply information technology and visual aids use utensils thoroughly the lessons Solution 4: Regularly   inspect   and   evaluate   the   learning   outcomes   of students to grasp timely the extent of students’ acquirability and memorability of their knowledge, from which I can give timely adjustments in the teaching process Solution 5: Consult with School Menagement to built foreign language classrooms and to buy more facilities for language learning IV Measures carried out: From practical teaching, I myself really thought how can make students to   be   interested   in   learning   ,   how   can   make   them   to   realize   that   learning English   is   not   heavy   pressure,   so   they   learn   better   and  especially   they   can remember new words faster, easier, longer  , I gave some tips, ways to teach vocabulary for secondary students Teaching vocabulary through songs, poems No one can deny the important influence of the music and poetry of human life. Most everyone loves music. It's always with people whether that person happy or sad. It appears everywhere, all the time to share joy or sadness relieve when we need to. Futhermore, poetry-music can increase concentration, enhance memory, makes people closer together, creating motivation and joy in learning, makes people relax when they are depressed or stress,  Because of the tremendous value that brings poetry to music, it has been used as educators useful tool in teaching. And now the use of songs, poetry as a tool to support the learning of foreign languages is quite common. Just a few tunes   of   the   song,   students   can   learn   the   culture   of   authentic   language, vocabulary, grammar, listening skills, and a variety of other skills Using   song   and   poem   in   class   can   make   the   classroom   atmosphere becomes fun and dynamic. Students will not feel stressed, even scared like to speak English in class solemn atmosphere. It is this will make them feel really excited and voluntary participation in classroom activities The songs, poems not only create excitement for student learning, but also   contains   elements   of   very   rich   language   including   pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar  The songs, poetry can help students to learn about pronunciation. For learners   of   English   in   general   and   in   particular   primary   school   students, there’re   some   sound   that   are   very   difficult   to   imitate   because   our   mother tongue does not have this sound such as: /ð/, /θ/, /æ/,  Therefore, you must learn   how   to   pronounce   inflexibly   that   can   still   not   pronounce. The   wrong pronunciation   can   change   the   meaning   of   the   phrase,   will   not   lead   to communication   results,   because   listeners   misinterpreted   the   transmission   of information. Songs, poems can help them overcome this. The melody of the Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS song, the rhythm of the poem often repeated a similar sound. When they heard many   times,   they   will   indirectly   be   told   how   to   pronounce   the   sound   that makes you remember them and eventually the correct pronunciation Some activities to learn vocabulary associated with songs, poems to promote motor learning for students: - Gap-filling: First, I give the students lyrics, poems have been vacant for   a   number   of   positions   they   heard   the   first   to   grasp   the   content   of   the post. Then hear from a second to fill in the blanks as much as possible. The third   time,   they   listen   to   check   if   you   have   correctly   filled. This   type   of exercise is useful when teaching vocabulary by topic - Get some words from the songs, the poems Step 1: Write some random words on the board. Students exchange with each other about what the words mean Step   2:   Students   divide   into   groups   of   three   to   four   people   quickly memorize the words Step 3: Turn on the song or the poem, student must speak loudly "Stop" when they hear one of those words - Spelling: For some simple post, I  ask them to hear and copy the words - Circle synonyms, antonyms with given words: In this case, I give a few words with the same or antonyms words in poems or songs to the board, in the process of hearing, they must circle the synonymsor antonyms of the words given -   Circle   the   correct   word   with   its   meaning:   I   offer   a   number   of Vietnamese, they would circle the meaning of English words in such poems or songs or vice versa Teaching vocabulary through the use of visual maps, through pictures, picture collage or through gestures, posture Secondary   students   are   very   active,   they   enjoyed   exploring   visual exploration; visual effects. With nature curious, eager to learn and the ability to perceive   the   visual   world   from   vivid   to   abstract   thinking,   children   are especially excited when the teacher preparation utensils or right visual objects the classroom For example, when teaching the word "ball", I directly put the ball on the   table   Or   just   give   them   the   difference   between   the word "desk" and "table" with the goal of learning and I sat on the desk of the classroom teacher. With the topic "school", I use directly the school supplies of students to teach vocabulary; they are very excited and elated In addition, I also introduce new words by using gestures act, gesture or express facial expression  For   example:   I   walk   while saying: "I'm walking" or   use   a   cup-sized gestures   as   drinking   water   said: "I'm drinking" or   my   students   and   I   dance toghether and we talk "I can dane - I can dance " in chorus To introduce the phrase "open the book" - "close the book", I said while opening or closing a book Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS Or to introduce the word "stomachache", I hug belly, bending down with shriveled face Thus, students will not only quickly memorize new words but also know how to recognize the status of others and how to express their status For difficult words or phrases, I can prepare visual gadget, I use pictures or using the projector, so that students can directly observe the image, thereby the  remembering of new words  is easier In   the   process   of   teaching   vocabulary,   I   also   emphasize   the   correct pronunciation   from   using   the   media   as robot teacher support, tape, disk  with the hope my students can speak English like a native speaker  Teaching vocabulary through the use of language learning: - Use definition, description:  Sometimes, to avoid repeating, I change the   way   of   teaching   and   learning   by   giving   definitions,   descriptions   and students predict the meaning of words For example: I give students the concept of "the thing which, when you look at, you will see your own image", they immediately shouted, "Cai guong" with a very excited voice, then I give children the word "miror" - Use synonyms, antonyms: For   example,   when   teaching  the  word "small", I   put   the   antonyms   of it "big" – or with the teaching of "large", I made  it a synonym of "big". The children very quickly figure out the meaning of words that I want to teach - Guess the meaning of words through context: For example: I give students a situation: This morning your mother was very busy, she couldn’t take you to school, so you must walk On the way to school, you picked flowers, chased butterflies Ssuddenly, you looked back the clock, only a few minutes, the school gate vill be closed,, how you come to school on time so fast? Students did not hesitate to answer: “Em chay!” I give the word: “run” As   such,   students   will   know   the   meaning   of   the   words   and   will remember the new words in an active way - Translate the words into the native language:  For   the   abstract   noun,   I   always   put   Vietnamese   meaning   to   avoid wasting time and help Ss to understand  more easier Normally, in a lesson, there will always be some new words. But each words   will   have   a   different   way   of   teaching. Therefore,   the   selection   of teaching method. is an important task for teachers.  Teaching vocabulary through practical training In   the   process   of   teaching   vocabulary   I   often   organize   activities   to practice  and reinforce  training words temperate  through  listening,  speaking, reading   and   writing   to   increase   fluency   when   students   use   words. These Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS activities will help students focus on the identification and proficient use of the learned words in each context Along   with   that,   I   myself   always   focused   on   the   role   of   students   in teaching   and   learning   vocabulary. I   always   encourage   them   to   participate actively in the learning process through a long and continuous Teaching vocabulary through the use of dictionary In addition to the above methods and guides I also encourage students to use the dictionary especially visual dictionary or the glossary in their textbooks becase dictionary  is an effective means for learning vocabulary. The guide of use dictionary will help students to improve their ability to learn themselves and help teachers teach vocabulary more efficient Teaching vocabulary through games In   the   process   of   teaching,   I   found   stimulating   interest   of   students’ learning   is   not   difficult,   but   how   make   them   inculcated   knowledge   is   not simple at all. At this age, children are eager to explore, to discover, but very soon forget.  Therefore, I am always aware how to the class are always fresh and vivid, th classroom atmosphere is always fun. In my opinion, the classes take place   gently   in   order   to   create   comfortable   psychologie   for   children,   from there, they will memorize easily vocabulary and knowledge I regularly change the activities in class by organizing games for the children. These   activities   are   integrated   into   the   process   of   transmitting knowledge that they are not getting cornered knowledge, passively from the teacher,   they   will   always   feel   the   real   lesson   funky,   lively,   attractive   and always look forward to English periods.  Here   are   some   tricks   I   use   the   games   summed   up   in   my   process   of teaching   with   the   aim   of   helping   students   increase   and   memorize   English vocabulary in the most natural way. I often have students play games in the Warm-up,   Free-Practice,   after   finishing   teaching   new   words   or   end   of   the lesson 6.1. Slap the board: - The purpose of this game is to help students remember the words and the pronunciation of words and demonstrate their agility and dynamic - Select the 2 groups of players, each of 6 children. Students arrange in two rows.  - Give each group a plastic toy hammer - Paste the picture cards (depending on the number of lesson units) on the board -  Read aloud  a word  from the  card of stickers. Students listen  to the word the teacher read, the two first students run up the board to touch the painting's meaning of the card they has heard, and then they go back to their Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School 10 EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS place, put the hammer to the nex person, the touching word right before will be a point. And so to all views For example:  Unit - English Review the words: table tennis- rollerskating- blind man’s bluff swimming- basketball- volleyball 6.2. Matching:  - The purpose of this game is to help students review vocabulary by matching  words to pictures when connected, words to words  Example 1: Match the appropriate words to pictures:  Unit - English a a mobile phone b a public telephone c a note book Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School 11 EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS

  this  game  is  to  help  students  remember  words and spelling words - Offer some words with the letters disturbed - Ask students to rearrange to form meaningful words - Students can do the task in groups, in pairs or individuals Example 1: Rearrange the following letters form meaningful words: Unit - English a. airyu rainy b. nnyus sunny c. aewhter weather d. wynid windy e. dyuocl cloudy Example 2: Rearrange the following letters from follow suggestions: Unit – English Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School 12 EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS    okob      lreru   berbur   lincep 6.4 Chain game: - The purpose of this game for memory training, concentration and quick reflexes of  student. By   participating   in   this   game,   you   have   to   really concentrate to remember the words, in addition they also have the opportunity to practice speaking, pronuncing  - Divide the class into small groups, each groupe join the game in turn - Say the first topic sentence, the first student  repeat the topic, then add another word, the 2nd  students repeat the first student’s phrase and add a word, the 3rd student repeat the first student’s phrase and then add a word too , so on until the last student in the group For example:               Unit - English Teacher: In my house, there is a living room,, S 1: In my house, there is a living roon, a bedroom, S 2: In my house, there is a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, S 3: In my house, there is a livingroom, a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen S 4: 6.5 Rub out and remember: - The purpose of this game is to help students remember vocabulary faster - After writing the words and their meanings on the board, ask student to repeat for students, give them a little time (depending on the number of words) in order to remember them.  - Remove Vietnamese or English words - Ask students to speak or rewrite English words has been removed on the board or vice versa - Give up on the board rewritten from Vietnamese or English were deleted - Student play this game personally - Encourage them by score   For example:    Unit - English a doctor(n): (n): công nhân a farmer(n): a businessman(n): (n): giáo viên a driver (n): 6.6 Simon says: Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School 13 EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS - The goal of this is game to help students remember the short imperatives - Give order. Students would take it if the teacher said “Simon says” before the  imperative. Who do wrongly will be eliminated from the game.  - Have all of class join this game.  For example:  Unit - English - If I say, "Simon says: Stand up!", Students will stand up - If I say: "Stand up!", Students will not implement this order. Who done wrong will be eliminated from the game 6.7. Networds: - The purpose of this game is to help students review vocabulary system by topic - I put the topic in the lesson - Students find related words in groups, groups find many correct  word wins   For example:                    Networds Pencil Ruler School bag         Rubber School objects Eraser                                                          Backpack Badminton Pencil shapener Networds Tennis    Swimming                                               Running Skipping Jumping Karate Sports and games    Volleyball           Football Skating      Basketball   Shuttlecock sport  Table tennis Blind man’s bluff 6.8 Synomym and antonym: - Beside the purpose of remembing vocabulary, this activity also helps students expand the number of vocabulary - Give the word, ask students to find synonyms or antonyms of the word given. They find words in pairs or in groups assigned by me   For example: - Find antonyms: Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School 14 EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS big ≠ small long ≠ short old ≠ young fat ≠ thin - Find synonyms: small ≡ little beautiful ≡ nice near ≡ next to 6.9 Relay Race: - The purpose of this game not only help students remember the words of the pronunciation but also about the writing - Select two groups of players, each group of 5 to 8 children - Let the children sit in two rows along - Offer a word or phrase for both groups by whispering in the ear of the first sitting, they will in turn passed on from each other also by whispering. Go to   the   last   one,   after   listening   to,   he/she   stand   up,   say   aloud   the   word   or phrasehe/she has heard and run to the board to write that word or phrase - Group write more correct words and phrases wins Teaching vocabulary through helping students study and review at home 7.1. Learning vocabulary: -   After   each   lesson,   I   asked   students   to   memorize   new   words   and practice writing, they must write every word two to three lines. The purpose of this is to help the children remember new word and work out the handwriting -   I   ask   them   to   review   words   after   each   lesson. They   should   study regularly, every day one or two new words while reviewing some of the old.  - Each student should equip themselves with a child board to write the word, a word can be written and read many times, so they can remember more easily - Students can also learn from by singing songs or rereading the poems learnt in class   For example:The children will easily remember the colours from the song "Colours" in Unit - English Colours Red, blue and yellow Green and white And pink and brown Red, blue and yellow These are beautiful colors 7.2. Review vocabulary: All   of   my   students   live   in   the   countryside,   their   families   almost   no conditions to buy magnetic card, letters  for them, so I instruct them some differents ways to learn new words.  Firstly, students can make cards at home. On one side of the card, they write  English  word, on  the other  side,  they draw image corresponds to  the Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School 15 EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS meaning   of   the   word   They   carry   easily   these   cards   and   they   can   learn vocabulary anytime and anywhere Secondly, they can make a list and put into it the meanings of new words in mother tongue, and try to learn them by heart or they can write one or two example sentences with each new words in order to remember how to use word in the right way Thirdly, in oder to remember words better, students can write each word and its use on a small piece of paper and stick it  somewhere in their house so as to learn it at anytime However, many students do not try to learn all new words they come across. So, I give them another way, they can underline or highlight only the words they want to learn. This helps them remember important words There are also diffirent ways of learning the same number of words. For example, if students try to learn ten words in two days, they can do so in two ways. They can learn the first five words the first day, and then learn the other five  words  the  next   day.  However,   because   revision   is   necessary,   they   can learn all the ten words the first day and revise them the next day. This helps them practise the words more times I have students try different ways of learning words so as to find out the best way for themselves PART III: CONCLUSION I The results of research After a period application of this method, in addition to instructions on how to read and learn vocabulary, I always encourate, motivate students, I help them to learn English actively. They learn English vey hard, their result have significantly increased, most of them were exciting, boldly engage in learning activities in the classroom. From feeling not to speak, afraid to read, afraid to speak,   afraid   to   learn   vocabulary,   they   have   been   more   responsive   to   the language, love to read, love to speak to the class, most of them are looking forward to giving opinions for the lessons, even while looking forward to the teacher check vocabulay of the privious lesson. The attitude of the children are excited every time and many of them had progressed clarity After a year, at the end of April   2014 - 2015 school year, I continued taking the survey posts investigated included excercises like the survey article for the Academic year 2014-2015.               And the results are as follows: Table 2: Survey result of classes 6A, 6B, 6C Academic Year 2014-2015 (April 2015) Class Total Exellent Good Fair Poor Number % Number % Number % Number % 6A 30 10 33% 13 43%  24% 0% 6B 34 14 41% 11 32% 24% 3% Done by: Nguyen Duc Thuan Phu Hai Toai Secondary School 16 EXPERIECE INITIATIVE: SOME STRICKS TEACH VOCABULARY STUDENTS 6C 29 27% 11 38% 10 35% 0% (A weak student of grade 6A is disabled student The school’s purpose is to help her intergrate with the community)               Reconciliation   between   Table     with   table   2,   I   see   quality   has increased significantly, the number of weak   students reduce, the number of strong students  increase,  learning  attitude  of  the  children   is very  good. The English classes are very fun. Many students not only read aloud, clearly but also have very nice reading voice II. Suggestions: For teachers: - Apply flexibly teaching methods, use thorough teaching aids, apply actively information technology in teaching and learning English - Consult with the School Menagement to built more facilities, buy more equipment and reference material for the teaching and learning English For the School:  The school strive for achieving the National Standard School, the school should consult with local leaders to built foreign language classrooms For the Department of Education and Training:  Need   more   regularly   organize   professional   training   courses,   seminars exclusively for English teachers across secondary province, the district so that we can exchange experiences and learn from each other for the purpose of enhancing teaching results There are some my personal ideas above. I ope that through this article I can contribute a bit of experience in innovating teaching methods and learning English at secondary schools. My experience initiative must also many shortcomings, so I’m looking forward to getting the opinions from the Scientific Council and the collagues. From there, I will be adding valuable experieces in teaching process in order to improve the quality of education I sincerely thank you!
