I INTRODUCTION

1 The reason for choosing the topic.

As we know, English is an important language, commonly used world-wideand   is   used   in   different   fields  In the   national   construction,   development   andintegration   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 isvery   necessary   and   contributes   to   the   education   of   the   younger   generation   tobecome   comprehensive   people. English   learners   have   the   opportunity   to   learn,access   to   the   rich,   fascinating   culture   of   oldest   countries   in   the   world. In   ourcountry, 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 differentculture 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 anumber of diversified, rich lexical. In teaching and learning English, vocabulary isone of three elements forming the system of language knowledge, it is the meanand   condition   of   formation   and   development   of   communication   skills. In   anylanguage,   the   role   of   vocabulary   is   also   very   important. It   is   possible   that   alanguage   is   a   subset   of   the   vocabulary. We   can   not   understand   the   languagewithout   understanding   the   vocabulary,   or   lexical   units. Thus,   learning   andpracticing vocabulary skills is the leading factor in the transmission of a passiveand 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 youwant to use a foreign language, that is, you must master the expressive forms fromthe verbal and writing. But due to the association of words with the other elements

of language (grammar, pronunciation, intonation  ) or in social situations, manyresearchers believe that to build a wall language vocabulary is the "bricks" and thegrammar   and   sentence   structure   as   "grout"   to   mount   the   brick   wall   createslanguage. Without   a   vocabulary   necessary,   students   can   not   use   the   sentencestructure and the function of language in communication

        Through many the lessons I have chosen and find out the best forms and inferuseful experience

II CONTENT OF THE THEME :

1 The basis issues

Vocabulary is one of the tools people use to think, express ideas, emotionsand learn about the world, is the foundation for all development skills such asreading comprehension, listening comprehension, speaking, writing,   It is alsothe major tool that help students use English effectively. Indeed, when talking to anative English speaking person, watch a movie without English subtitles, listening

to a favorite song or read English documents,   we will always be exposed to fromvocabulary

A famous linguist once said if we does not learn grammar well,we can stillachieve something, but if we do not have the vocabulary, we wouldn’t able toexpress anything at all. Native speakers can understand the article correctly usevocabulary that is not grammatically correct. However, they will not understandgrammatically correct article, but do not use the exact words

A   reality   show,   Vietnam   students   learning   English   often   encounterobstacles in   how   to   speak   English   fluently.  They   often   find   it   difficult   toparticipate in activities related to the speaking skill, because they only use a fewrepetitive structures and vocabulary. Thus, their communication was interruptedabruptly early due to lack of vocabulary

In short, if they do not have the vocabulary skills, their listening, speaking,reading   and   writing   skill   will   not   be   developed   If   you   do   not   have   enoughvocabulary,   the   people   will   have   problems,   even   failure   in   communication.Recognizing the importance of this, today all applicable methods in teaching arefocused to teach vocabulary. And start learning English is always associated withlearning vocabulary

Therefore,   in  the   teaching  process   I thought  about  how  students  acquirevocabulary best to help students create the atmosphere lively language learning,help them remember the lessons from the right in, from which they can more easilyuse the word in the communication process.

2. The reality of the research

a Reality:

a.1 Advantages:

Thach Binh Secondary School is the National Standard, my school has atotal of 09 classes with 315 students. 

The School Management is particularly interested in teaching and learningEnglish in school

Program content textbooks appropriate, closer to the daily life of studentswith   many   beautiful   pictures,   eye-catching,   so   the   program   have   generatedexcitement in learning for students

The development of information technology and Internet can help teacherseasily find the resources to support teaching via the Internet

The teacher has a high sense of responsibility and enthusiasm in teaching,reach the Standard level B2

a.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:

Thach   Binh   Secondary   School   has   less   visual   aids   for   teaching   andlearning. The school does not have audio-visual classrooms dedicated to learningEnglish. The procurement of equipment for self-study English in their family’sstudents 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   topractice   English. Scope   of   practice   English   is   done   only   in   the   classroomhours. Therefore, they always feel that learning English is mandatory, just learn toget points but they are not aware of learning English as a tool to communicate

Limitation of time and form of organization of the activities in class:

Secondary   students   are   very   active,   inquisitive   but   also   very   quicklybored. The school  alone will make you feel very monotonous lessons,  so they

would love  learning while playing, learning that the school play-play. However

they are small, their writing speed very slow leading to limited time to organizeother activities interfere simple as learning to sing, play the game   Also, if youhave 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   ismandatory, they have no motivation in the learning process. In fact, English is anew 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 theycan   not   avoid   certain   difficulties. First,   they   are   excited   with   the   subject   butgradually,   due   to   the   amount   of   knowledge   and   increasingly   more   and   moredifficult,   if   they   themselves   don’t   study   actively,   they   vill   not   understand   thelessons, this will lead to their depression, and they will not want to learn. Also aspecial   reason   why   they   have   psychological   problems   because   of   the   school'sEnglish-speaking children do not read well. In fact, when I teach this subject, Ifound that a good talk, a good read for secondary students, is not so easy becausethe remembering of the new words and phrases in the English lessons  is verydifficult, especially for secondary school students in general and students in ThachBinh Secondary School in particular. The slow reading and writing of secondarystudents is the cause of this situation, the retention of the children is not reliableand not deep, forgotten homework right after the previous post, most of them arenot bold and flexible in applying what was learned to communicate with each otherduring school hours or during everyday activities.

b Result and effect of the current reality

        I   studied   the   method   of   teaching   vocabulary   for   students   at   Thach   BinhSecondary School

    Initially, through the monitor of the students’ studying, I realied that the studentswere afraid of learning English vocabulary, they were very worried when I checkedthe vocabulary of the previous lessons

 At the end of the first semester (mid-December) of Academic Year 2015- 2016, Ihad made some small tests of vocabulary :

Grade 8:  (Unit 5) Reorder the letters (3)

i c n e s e n o f e r n f i g s

c s r w o d c e h e r g i n Grade 6: (Unit 8) Look at the pictures Complete the words (3)

want  to  introduce   with  you "some tricks to teach vocabulary for students" to

Solution 5: Consult   with   School   Menagement   to   built   foreign   language

classrooms and to buy more facilities for language learning

4 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 notheavy 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.

4.1 Teaching vocabulary through songs, poems

No one can deny the important influence of the music and poetry of humanlife. 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 weneed to. Futhermore,  poetry-music can increase concentration, enhance memory,makes   people   closer   together,   creating   motivation   and   joy   in   learning,   makespeople relax when they are depressed or stress, 

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 becomesfun 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   andvoluntary participation in classroom activities

The songs, poems not only create excitement for student learning, but alsocontains   elements   of   very   rich   language   including   pronunciation,   vocabulary,grammar 

The   songs,   poetry   can   help   students   to   learn   about   pronunciation. Forlearners of English in general and in particular primary school students, there’resome sound that are very difficult to imitate because our mother tongue does nothave this sound such as: /ð/, /θ/, /æ/,  Therefore, you must learn how to pronounceinflexibly that can still not pronounce. The wrong pronunciation can change themeaning of the phrase, will not lead to communication results, because listenersmisinterpreted   the   transmission   of   information   Songs,   poems   can   help   themovercome this. The melody of the song, the rhythm of the poem often repeated asimilar sound. When they heard many times, they will indirectly be told how topronounce the sound that makes you remember them and eventually the correctpronunciation

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 anumber of positions. they heard the first to grasp the content of the post. Then hearfrom 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 teachingvocabulary by topic

- Get some words from the songs, the poems

Step 1: Write some random words on the board. Students exchange witheach other about what the words mean

Step 2: Students divide into groups of three to four people quickly memorizethe 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 fewwords with the same or antonyms words in poems or songs to the board, in theprocess 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 viceversa

4.2 Teaching vocabulary through the use of visual maps, through pictures, picture collage or through gestures, posture

Secondary   students   are   very   active,   they   enjoyed   exploring   visualexploration; visual effects. With nature curious, eager to learn and the ability toperceive the visual world from vivid to abstract thinking, children are especiallyexcited 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 orexpress 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

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 knowhow 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 orusing the projector, so that students can directly observe the image, thereby theremembering 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 

4.3 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   studentspredict 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 Suddenly, you looked back the clock, only a few minutes, the school gate vill be closed,, how do 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 rememberthe new words in an active way

- Translate the words into the native language: (5)

For the abstract noun, I always put Vietnamese meaning to avoid wastingtime and help Ss to understand  more easier

Normally, in a lesson, there will always be some new words. But each wordswill have a different way of teaching. Therefore, the selection of teaching method

is an important task for teachers. 

4.4 Teaching vocabulary through practical training

In the process of teaching vocabulary I often organize activities to practiceand reinforce training words temperate through listening, speaking, reading andwriting to increase fluency when students use words. These activities will helpstudents focus on the identification and proficient use of the learned words in eachcontext

Along with that, I myself always focused on the role of students in teachingand learning vocabulary. I always encourage them to participate actively in thelearning process through a long and continuous

4.5 Teaching vocabulary through the use of dictionary

In addition to the above methods and guides I also encourage students to usethe dictionary especially visual dictionary or the glossary in their textbooks becasedictionary     is   an   effective   means   for   learning   vocabulary. The   guide   of     usedictionary will help students to improve their ability to learn themselves and helpteachers teach vocabulary more efficient

4.6 Teaching vocabulary through games (1) + (2)

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. Atthis 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, thclassroom atmosphere is always fun. In my opinion, the classes take place gently inorder   to   create   comfortable   psychologie   for   children,   from   there,   they   willmemorize easily vocabulary and knowledge

I   regularly   change   the   activities   in   class   by   organizing   games   for   thechildren. These activities are integrated into the process of transmitting knowledgethat they are not getting cornered knowledge, passively from the teacher, they willalways feel the real lesson funky, lively, attractive and always look forward toEnglish periods. 

Here are some tricks I use the games summed up in my process of teachingwith the aim of helping students increase and memorize English vocabulary in themost natural way. I often have students play games in the Warm-up, Free-Practice,after finishing teaching new word

4.7. Slap the board: (2) + (5)

- The   purpose   of   this   game   is   to   help   students   remember   the   words   and   the

of the card they has heard, and then they go back to their place, put the hammer tothe nex person, the touching word right before will be a point. And so to all views

For example:           Unit 7 - English 7 : (3) Review the words:

making models ice-skating making pottery/

Carving wood carving eggshell
