I INTRODUCTION

1 Reason for choosing the topic.

English is a subject that helps students form and develop foreign

language communication skills After finishing primary school, students can communicate simply through the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, in which priority is given to two skills of listening and speaking

However, the deployment and teaching of general English subjects in general and primary schools in particular at present are still facing many

difficulties, failing to meet the requirements of socio-economic development practices in the period import

Renovating the teaching method of Primary English subject to the

orientation of promoting the students' activeness, initiative and creativity is an urgent requirement Especially for students in grade 3, they have not had much contact, their knowledge of English is quite new According to the Ministry of Education and Training (Education and Training), primary English is allocated four periods per week The program takes communicative competence as a goal, linguistic knowledge as a means to formulate communication skills After

completing primary school, students can communicate simply in English

through four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, with two priority listening and speaking skills In addition, students have basic and minimum knowledge of English including phonetics, vocabulary, and grammar Through English, we have an initial understanding of the country, people and cultures of English-speaking nations and other countries around the world At the same time, forming effective ways to learn English, creating a basis for the study of other foreign languages in the future

The fact that teaching English at many schools across the country shows that English is increasingly important and schools are also having many

solutions to improve the quality of teaching and learning Teachers themselves need to be proactive and apply, combining many methods and organizational forms in teaching to ensure students master the knowledge through each lesson

In lessons, the method of discussion in pairs, the group usually consists of four

to six students, thereby helping them develop their strengths, the shy students gradually become more confident in communication In this form, the teacher is the observer, encouraging them to complete the task, at the same time, assessing, supplementing and providing knowledge when students do not master In

addition to group discussion method, student-centered method is also applied, helping learners discover their knowledge, positively and voluntarily in learning, best promote their strengths and abilities creativity of yourself

Learning foreign languages is a step forward to overcome the cultural barriers as well as the customs and traditions of countries around the world Therefore, the role of English teachers in general and elementary teachers in

particular is very important In the school year 2019-2020, the school has

applied the experiential learning method to teaching English subjects As a result, students' vocabulary is significantly increased, students can master

interesting situations and learn grammar without constraints Teachers are

students who support students and students master the lesson

Currently, the conditions for teaching and learning English at the elementary level still reveal many difficulties and inadequacies Most students are in rural areas, so the awareness of learning English is very vague and lacks interest In addition, a part of the students at school are shy, passive, afraid to speak English,

so it is difficult for them to develop communication skills to catch up with the language goals for primary school On the other hand, due to the large number

of students in a class, the level of teaching is uneven so it is difficult to transfer knowledge as well as apply the methods of classroom teaching

In primary school, children are hyperactive, playful, not yet aware that learning

is necessary, so the awareness of self-study is not high In the process of

teaching, we still have to soothe, encourage and encourage children to pay

attention to the lecture In order to bring them into the framework, improve their self-awareness in studying, doing homework, reviewing lessons, each lesson requires the teacher to give students a lively learning atmosphere floating

Therefore, the teacher must have measures to attract students to be

passionate about the subject, creating a feeling of learning while playing,

playing through learning Games and songs are an activity that children are most interested in

Songs and games in class not only help children acquire knowledge and words, but also help them consolidate and deepen their knowledge

It is for the above reasons that I have chosen to use “Games and Songs to attract 3rd graders to do well in English”

2 Purpose of research topic.

a Purpose:

This research aims to improve the quality of education in teaching

b Research tasks:

In teaching English, helping students learn words, remember words, practice speaking English is an indispensable activity in any class Learning to remember words and words is not just about helping students remember the meaning of a word, but also helping them to hear the words correctly and apply

them in English So, finding ways to help them learn and memorize long, to speak English is the duty of every teacher with the goal of helping students understand the words, using the words in sentences according to each context and remembered for a long time

II CONTENT

1 Theoretical basis of the problem:

English is a new subject in curriculum of elementary school considered as

an important skill, with the following basic contents:

a How to pronounce words and how to stress the word stress, sentence stress.

b Practice sentences and articles.

c Apply to practice to communicate

In general, these three texts have been studied, studied and practiced by our teachers

In the programme, the knowledge is the same With only 2 lessons per week Teachers play a role only while students are motivated and self-educated, but with the same instructional style as textbooks, students do not develop proficiency in speaking English Have to forgive the word and the meaning of the word, the sentence pattern

Based on that fact, I found it helpful to teach students skills in speaking and communicating in English Teachers must determine what content is needed

to be communicated to the student, possibly in the textbook At the same time,

we must choose the way we organize more and more skills in English learning skills, especially the topics and subjects learned in the program, contributing Improved English speaking skills, and a very necessary skill in the study research life

2 Status of research problem:

a Advantages:

Grade 3 students with an innocent and fun nature should be ready to participate in class activities when they are absorbed in exciting activities such

as singing and dancing

Teachers can learn and exchange experiences from colleagues through lectures, exchange of experiences and topics

The textbook program has the content of knowledge appropriate to the reality of student life and there are many beautiful pictures, eye catching and interesting for students

The development of information technology helps teachers have more resources and images through the Internet

Teachers are enthusiastic, responsible in teaching English

b Difficulties:

Most of the students in the area are in rural areas, so the awareness about learning English is very vague and lack of interest, some students are shy,

passive, afraid to speak English

Due to the large number of students in a class, the investment in the

subject from parents is not uniform, so it is difficult for teachers to impart

knowledge as well as apply teaching methods in class On the other hand,

students in grade 3 are hyperactive, playful, not yet aware that learning is

necessary, so their sense of self-discipline is still not high

Facilities and equipment for teaching English are still poor, and my

school still does not have a functional classroom specifically for the subject of English Those are the factors that affect the quality of teaching

Through the survey and consultation of students, I noticed some of the reasons for the restriction are as follows:

b.1 Teaching Equipment:

With curious nature, eagerness to learn, and the ability to sense the world from vivid visions to abstract thinking, all students share the same opinion that they like teachers very much during the English teaching hours But in practice, some classes require real objects or illustrations for children are still limited Because this is a very active age, they are very interested in discovering objects with eyes, headphones, visual aids that greatly affect English learning Besides, I

do not have a lab, audio-visual room dedicated to English The purchase of family equipment for self-study English work in their families is not everyone has The economy of the people is low, the parents have to work away, send the children back to his grandparents, so the investment to buy school supplies and equipment is limited

b.2 Practical English:

The school where I teach is not in town, low-income areas, so students are not practical application of what they learn in daily communication They do not have the opportunity to come in contact with foreigners so they can give some formal English greetings Studying and practicing English only get in the classroom As a result, students feel obliged to learn, to learn to take high marks They are not aware of learning English so they can use it as a means of communication

b.3 Time and games:

Elementary students are still young, so their writing speed is slow This is one of the main reasons for limiting the time spent hosting games Besides, the game forms are still not well organized

b.4 Motivation and sense of learning:

Elementary English is still an elective subject so some parents and students are not aware of the importance of this subject Some students go to class because they have to go up, but they do not have a learning motive The students are so weak that they are afraid to practice communication Because of the slow learning ability, fear of wrong practice, afraid of the teacher's bad comments Others are quite good, they are afraid to communicate not because of the ability to absorb slowly but they are psychologically limited, afraid to practice in front of the crowd At this age they are very playful so the sense of learning is not high In addition, they are less interested in learning and are lazy

to learn English vocabulary

3 Some English-speaking speaking teachers are highly effective through the use of pictures, games and songs for elementary students:

From the fact that I teach English, I give some tips to help students learn and remember words for students in elementary school The tips in this initiative have also been covered in the instructional materials in English However, how

to apply the procedure effectively requires that the teacher know how to select and organize the procedure in a flexible way It may be appropriate for this lesson, but not for other lessons However, to apply in the appropriate, vivid and effective way, depending on the teaching method of each lesson and the

flexibility of the teacher to turn each activity into an exciting game, It is easy to

draw students, making them interested in learning and remember words Some game tricks will be more convenient and attractive if the teacher teaches with the support of information technology For traditional lessons, teachers should

prepare more with visual aids such as sub-tables, real objects, pictures,

models Each trick has the advantage of being used by teachers in practice The selection of tricks for each teaching purpose, each lesson, each teaching aids

to avoid boredom in the activity is an important content is mentioned in this initiative

*Preparatory work before teaching:

To teach and help students to remember for a long time, teachers must prepare the following:

The vocabulary planning will be studied or revisited according to the characteristics of the

every lesson

Choose games and tricks to suit each post

Preparation of some teaching materials (extra instruction board, brush, paintings, objects

really, card cover )

Prepare computer, photocopier if there is support of the application

Information Technology

Prepare and arrange classes to organize students with some effective games

* Procedures to perform the procedure:

There are many ways to help students remember words, like practice speaking However, each lesson has its own characteristics Depending on the content of the unit, teachers can choose the appropriate way Teachers can take part in the Warm-up, Free-Practice, or after the vocabulary is taught

Teachers make rational games to create a cheerful and lively classroom atmosphere to help students have a relaxed mind to remember the words It can

be done in the form of team games, teams, pairs or individuals However, in whatever form, the teacher also needs to organize all the students in the class to monitor and comment on them to do the same

Here are some tips I have learned during the course of teaching and research to help them increase their vocabulary naturally so that they are more confident in speaking English

a Measure: Play Now

a.1 Let’s sing

To make the lesson more dynamic, I also emphasized the use of songs I have chosen simple sentences combined with familiar music from Vietnamese songs

to create English songs with gentle and close sounds

+ Step 1: Collect songs

+ Step 2: Apply the song to the lesson

Based on the lessons in the 3rd grade English textbook, I choose some songs suitable for some lessons:

*Song: Behold the golden butterfly

+ Step 1: Create lyrics

The teacher chooses English words and sentences in the lesson

Integrating into the background music “Behold the golden butterfly” to create a song in English

+ Step 2: Singing

The teacher sings a sample song for the students to listen to, familiarize themselves with the melody of the song Ask students to read each sentence, the teacher sings a sample Ask students to sing along verse by verse, then sing the whole song When students sing the melody, the teacher asks the students to sing

in groups or sing individually

+ Step 3: Applying songs to the lesson

Here are some lessons I did in the classes I teach

Have students let sing in lesson 1 Unit 1, class 3 “Hello song” Whole class, individual, group, pair and whole Have students listen to the song, listen and repeat Teacher sums up the knougle

English class3 (U.1- l.1)

a.1.1 Grade 3: Unit 2 What's your name?

The song “What’s your name?” Grade 3 (based on the song Behold the Golden Butterfly)

Hello hello Hello hello

What's your name? What's your name?

My name's Linda My name's Linda

That's my name That's my name

With the familiar melody and sound, through the teacher's suggestion, the children caught up with the rhythm and performed the song very energetically Combined with body language, the children memorized the question form and answered what is your name easily

a.1.2 Grade 3: Unit 4: Lesson 2(1,2,3)- How old are you?

To engage the children in the age questionnaire, I trained them to learn how

to ask your age through the song “How old are you?” The lyrics are short, easy

to read, and the tone is cheerful and innocent

How old are you? How old are you?

I am five I am five.

How old are you? How old are you?

I am six I am six

*Using some songs suitable for the curriculum for grades 4 and 5 in the

2020-2021 school year

Lesson: Nice to see you again – Lesson 2(1, 2, 3)

I had students practice greetings when leaving with the song "Good bye Teacher" (based on the song Behold the yellow butterfly)

Goodbye teacher Goodbye teacher

See you again See you again

See you tomorrow See you tomorrow

Bye Goodbye Bye Goodbye

Lesson : What's the matter with you? - Lesson 1(1, 2, 3)

I chose the song “Head and shoulders” with the lyrics saying the names of some body parts Through this song, the children were able to point out the parts

of their body named in the song This helps them remember the meaning of words very effectively

a.2 Games: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

This is a game that not only helps students deepen their knowledge and interest in learning, but also helps them strengthen solidarity and coordination in work

Step 1: Organize the game

The teacher chooses the game that is suitable for the student, with the

vocabulary and sentence patterns included in the lesson

- Time: 2-3 minutes

- Rules of the game: Form teams to play, the team that gives the first and correct answers, that team wins

- How to play: The teacher prepares some new words or phrases from the sentence patterns just taught in the lesson The teacher gives a question, asks students to choose the answer corresponding to 4 answers A, B, C, D The group that gives the correct and fastest answer will score one point, the group with many questions The fastest and correct answer wins Teachers ask students to make comments, teachers evaluate and summarize the knowledge they have just learned

Step 2: Apply the game to the lesson

I applied the game "Who wants to be a millionaire" in the test of new words and sentence patterns of lessons 1, 2 (part 1, 2, 3) in the 3rd grade English program

I have discovered students with good memories, quick reflexes in

situations This is a game that most of the children love, participate

enthusiastically, contributing to creating a more atmosphere in the classroom

Example: Unit 2: What's your name? Lesson 1 (1,2,3) (Grade 3)

In addition to the game "Who wants to be a millionaire", I also apply the game

"Quiz",
