1 Reasons for the research
In the general trend of many advanced education in the world, Vietnam’s
education has been making a transition from education to content access intoaccess to capacity of learner.It means that from being interested in what thestudents learn to being interested in how the student learns, applying whatstudents learns.therefore,the requirement of educational innovation is tosuccessfully carry out the transition from one-way teaching method to teachinghow, applying knowledge, practicing skills, forming skills.At the same time, we Also shift the way of evaluating educational results from heavy on memorytests to assessing the ability in order to apply knowledge and solve problems thatvalue both academic assessment, assessment in learning process to impactpromptly and improve quality of teaching activities
2 Purpose.
We have all known that the use of teaching possive methods is essential,which makes learners not only knowledge the nature of possive teachingmethods but also makes the lesson more interesting in Part B- Speaking unit10:Nature in danger provide them a brief information about, students will be able
to be conscious of protecting nature and the endangered species; be aware ofpreserving and; be proud of in cultural identity, etc
Based on the innovation of the teaching possive methods of the Ministry ofEducation and Training, I would like to give some experiences in teaching partB- Speaking, Unit 10: Nature in danger , English 11
3.Subjects.
In my research,I will study grade 11 who will study reading skill.Through theprocessing of learning these parts, Students will understand the important ofrenovating teaching and learing methos towards modernization; promotepositive,proactive,creative and apply knowledge and skills of learning;overcoming one-way transmission impostion, memorizing machines.Focus onteaching how to learn, think,encourage self-study, create a basis for students toupdate and renew their knowledge, skill, capacity development.Shifting fromstudying mainly in class to organizing diverse forms of learning, payingattention to social activities, scientific research Promoting the application ofinformation technology and communication in teaching and learning
From that practical teaching experience, I’ve found that most of the studentswere very interested in the class and doing the exercises more perfectly
4.Methods
To make my solutions effectively, I have used some following methods:Firstly, I always get advice from colleagues through co- working
Trang 4Secondly, I apply science and technology in teaching, use projector, video clip
to make the lesson efficiently For example, I use the handout to work in group;use the network to discuss about the topic
Next, I often teach English through real situations such as the student can knowmuch about the life,
Fourthly, I divide the students into groups and ask them to search forinformation before coming class.Student has to search all knowledge fromtextbook,newspaper
Internet to help them express the initiative,flexible and possive in thelesson
Lastly, from this method , It helps students know the most self-taughtmethod,the way to present and evaluate the other group’s knowledge.Askingstudents to use Integrating knowledge of many subjects in teaching part B-Speaking unit 10: Nature in danger, English 11
II.CONTENTS
1 Theoretical background
The purpose of teaching listening comprehension is to help students understandthe key information needed Improving listening skill not only helps students toraise the intellectual activity but also understand other subjects well and viceversa
In possive teaching method, students have to find out some new vocabularies intextbook and preapre all the tasks that follow and get some information from English reading lesson, which is considered to be successful In a limited period
of time teaching units related many subjects is not easy work because it requires the students have a mount number of knowledge of all subjects Unit 9:
Preserving the enviroment is within the theme of environment and nature And the interesting things attracted myself to study this lesson is this period
mentioned know about the photosynthesis of plants, global warming,
natural greenhouse effect and human enhanced greenhouse effect, about processing of ozone formation.especially, Through the lesson,it is the way
to increase the awareness of people about preserve and protect natural enviroment, endangered species
2.Realities before applying the research
With the part b in unit 10, I used to teach the students by teaching possivemethod that follows
Homework checking
I Lead in the lesson & vocabulary
- Ask some students to answer some questions in the textbook
- Ask ss provide some new words/ expressions that appear in reading text which
is prepared before going class
II Practice:
Trang 5-Ask ss to do all the tasks ( in textbook): matching & make a dialogue.
III Further practice
- Ask sts to talk about nature in danger
-Give homework: Write a short paragraph about nature in danger
When teaching with the steps above , I realize that most of my studentsare passive in learning and lessons are less fun for students, even boring Isometimes explain more about some information related unit but not muchbecause of a limitation of time Some students are not well- prepared lessonbefore going to class Hearing from the teacher also makes students notremember long, so the students’ result is not good From the above situation Ialways worry about how to help students not only good skills but also interest inthe lesson
2 Solutions
In my research, I only mention the new ways in teaching Part b-speaking unit
10 Nature in danger effectively by teaching possive methods in it I would like
to present the form of teaching plan below
