(SKKN mới NHẤT) SKKN experiece initiactive some stricks teach vocabulary for 6th grade students

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 fr

PART I:  BACKGROUND

As we know, English is an important language, commonly used world-wide 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

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   do   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

1 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

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

play-play. 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   English-speaking 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

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

2 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) Reorder the letters

3

I sent my teacher a greeting   on Teacher’s Day

And I obtained the following results:

Table 1: Survey Results of the Classes 6A, 6B, 6C

Academic Year 2014-2015 (December 2014)

Through   the   survey,   I   found   the   quality   of   their   learning   is   not 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 6 th

grade students" to consult with colleagues.

III. The solution implemented

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.

1 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 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

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   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

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 

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 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 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 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. 

4 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 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

5 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

6 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
