A INTRODUCTION

I REASON FOR CHOOSING THE TOPIC

Nowadays, English plays a very important role in the development ofsociety It is the key to the success of some of the leading Asian countries such

as Singapore and Vietnam English also contributes to improving theintellectuals of the country to be able to integrate into the community ofEnglish-speaking peoples in the world

From the perspective of those who directly teach English as a subjectforeign language, I realize that it is necessary to have intertwine to teach all 4skills LISTENING - SPEAKING - READING - WRITING for children Eachskill is important and necessary to support the remaining skills However, It iseasy to see that writing skills are invested a lot of time by learners for manydifferent reasons and most especially it is necessary to serve the language examssuch as written test – oral test- semester exam, particularlly the high school finalexam

Teaching writing skills is an art It requires both teachers and learners onething that endurance and effort are not measured in days/hours, but inyears/months

Teaching writing skills well requires providing students with a large amount ofknowledge including vocabulary system, word function, grammar, structure, etc.All will be coordinated and integrated in a variety of exercises from the simple

to the complex to achieve the goal that students can produce a completeacademic writing at the end general education levels

Therefore, With the above reasons, I would like to share with you myexperiences While teaching English in grade 11A6, 11A8 at Hau Loc 4th Highschool I not only have do some research but also inquire how to apply newmethods to my interest in teaching writing skills as well as some importantgrammar points in the language program Junior high school English which isused often during practice My experience can apply to most classes, all types ofhigh school English program Thus, the choice of this topic “Some experiences

of teaching English writting skill for students grade 11 in typical English program” is very specific and practical for teachers of English in order toimprove the quality of foreign language teaching in grade 11 at upper secondaryschools

V ASSESSMENT OF THE TOPIC

In the process of teaching English 11, I noticed the need for students to learn towrite highly, and at the same time, I can also understand that if you use this skillwell, their English skills will be significantly improved Therefore, I spend a lot

of time researching and setting up their own rules to help students learn wellmore English

B CONTENT

I THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL BASIS OF THE TOPIC

The main goal of the 3-year training period at upper secondary level isfor students to complete basic curriculum, is considered to graduate from highschool and achieve high results in the final exam

The structure of the final exam shows us that our current English testsmost are designed in written form - WRITTEN TEST Sometimes we think thatteaching writing is teaching students to write a complete essay but actuallywriting skills can be applied in many different types of exercises: Multiplechoice, Word form, Reading comprehension and Writing

II STATUS OF PROBLEM

Some students, especially poor students, lack of sense of learning, lack ofpatience in learning, have not kept pace with new learning methods, confusion

in acquiring and applying knowledge on practical skills Many of them areaware of this subject is not correct, or do not fully understand the meaning of thesubject during the international integration, which I just learned so curious, sodifficult to learn when they relax, let go Therefore, they are not really serious,

2 Toward teachers

Through practical projects at the time showed that the creative class of very few teachers Sometimes many teachers are afraid of collectibles, renewing concerns his teaching methods, although they know that their students learn or stud ineffectively due to their method of teaching students is not compelling enough, the coast did not interest students.

When it comes to applying the new methods, there are many differentopinions These teachers think that it is time-consuming, useless Teachers havesaid that the lesson is too long, not enough time for them to organize someactivities There are many teachers also organize activities to create excitementfor their students but they did not know how to organize successfully, leads todiscouragement There are also teachers who said they did not think up newactivities for their students

Changing perceptions and habits taught - learning, overcoming aversionand applying the new method is not simple

Through discussions, polls from colleagues, I obtained the followingresults:

students

surveyed

Teachers use language activities at lessons

Never Rarely sometimes Usually Numbe

Subjective reasons: Lazy school, afraid to learn, cognitive, shyness, lack

of confidence, inferiority, monks have good learning methods

Objective reasons: due to the teacher's teaching methods, teachers werereprimanded by teachers are not interested in all the subjects the student, family,psychological ages

- Teachers:

Subjective reasons:

+ Aversion innovation, especially with some of the older teachers

+ Misconceptions about the new approach, including the application oflanguage games

+ Talents limited

+ Apply new methods stereotyping and machinery

+ Bumper creativity, lack of flexibility

+ Enthusiasm, not passionate

+ There is a lack of experience

1.2 GRAMMAR & STRUCTURES

In addition to vocabulary, teachers also need to help students have a habit ofstudying by accumulating the amount of grammatical knowledge drawn frommany lesson units of multiple grade levels

Knowledge in grade 11 is a general amount of knowledge that students haveaccumulated , consolidated and acquired I mean that, from the beginning,writing skills must also be importantly emphasized, rather than waiting forgrade 11 or 12 How do students recognize and remember?

Good grammar structures? Only practice! During the practice, the teachershould repeat of core structures regularly and commonly use exercise patterns

used with each structure.

Some important grammar topics for practicing writting skills:

2 SOLUTION

As discussed in the previous section - Teaching writing is a combination offour skills Why ? Students who speak well will write well Therefore, I oftenhelp students:

2.1 Applying speaking skills to writing skills.

This form of application is often shown in the form of Multiple Choice exercisesand Complete the dialogue

A.No, of course B Yes , that’s alright

C Certainly not! I’ll pay D Yes.I'd love to

2.2 Applying many types of grammatical structures to a practice content.

EX : Sentence transformation

“ Why don’t we join the Y & Y Green Campaign ?”- said John

Reported Speech: John asked

Gerund : John suggested

joining the Y & Y Green CampaignNoun clause : John suggested

2.3 Apply different types of structures to transform a content

The form of transforming a content from one structure to another (paraphrase) is

a type of exercise to test the level of use of English structures student's On theother hand, this form of practice also serves the requirements standards forwriting an academic essay

EX :

Topic : Do you think people should protect the environment ?

Write an introduction to the essay

- In my opinion ,we should be aware of the importance of our environment

- I think it is necessary to protect our environment

- I believe that we should protect the environment not for only living creatures,but for the plants and trees that provide even more benefits to us directly
