I INTRODUCTION

1 Reasons for the research

Nowadays, manipulating disciplinary knowledge in teaching is very necessary,

Especially is English because English is a subject that can integrate much

knowledge of other subjects So, students need to accumulate the rich vocabulary

and get knowledge of numerous subjects in teaching English to study well this

subject;besides teachers can manipulate disciplinary knowledge It helps activities in

English lesson become more and more attracted to students Moreover, Students will

have chace to research much knowledge in other areas of study in English

To do well integrated teaching in English.It takes teacher lot of time to plan

carefully to be able to explain the related to other subjects Furthermore, practicing

skills in English for students at Thach Thanh 4 high school is really difficult because

of their poor vocabulary,bad comprehension skill Therefore, students don’t like

learning to reading skill Being a teacher of English, I will try to find the best

method to help students overcome the difficulties in learning reading lesson

2 Purpose

We have all known recently that integrating subjects in solving a problem of lesson

is essential, which make learners not only study and improve the knowledge from

other subjects but also help them understand and solve the matter faster and more

effectively Integrating subjects such as Geography, History, Physics, Chemistry,

Biology, Knowledge of Economy, Knowledge from Culture, Medial Field, Civic

education and Life, etc into the project: “Life In The Future” and People’s

Responsibilities to global and local problems not only help students understand the

lesson more effectively but also raise their awareness and duties to better their life

Based on the innovation of the teaching methodology of the Ministry of Education

and Training on the application of interdisciplinary knowledge, I would like to give

some experiences in teaching part a- reading, Unit 8:Life in the future, English 12

3 Subjects

In my research, I study with 12th grade students who will study unit 8:Life in the

future Students use maps to find out Newcastle upon Tyne where the Northern

Rock bank used to exist; using the knowledge about the existence of the Northern

Rock bank, the oldest bank in the UK, which was collapsed by the economic

depression and using biological knowledge to know clearly the effects of cleaner

beenvironment, fresher air and healthier food to our health;besides Students have

opportunities to overview the widely uses of computers in many fields such as in

Education, Business and watch some video clips about the environmental status in

Vietnam and in their home country, which helps to raise their responsibilities toward

these problems

4.Methods

To have a good result, I have used some following methods:

Firstly, I listen to some comments and inquire experience from my colleagues

Secondly, I use reading micro-skills as scanning for specific ideas, skimming for

general information, and guessing meaning in context and the information they have

read to discuss the topic

Thirdly, I study through the internet, use new methods in teaching English such as:

using pictures to teach vocabulary, observing and analysing maps, and video clips

Next, I ask students to practise individual and work in pair as much as possible

Lastly, I use integrated subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography,

Civic Education, Information & Technology, Medical, Environmental and Cultural

Knowledge, etc.) to explain some further information

II.CONTENTS

1 Theoretical background

The purpose of teaching reading comprehension is to help students understand the

key information needed Improving reading skill both helps students develop

scanning for specific ideas,skimming for general information and understand clearly

about many subjects to each other in context

In traditional teaching method, Teacher will scan the passage to find some new

vocabularies and write down on the board ; then ask students to read and write down on

their notebooks.According to above part to do all the tasks that follow and get some

information from each paragraph;teacher has to give information and pictures which is

related to knowledge of many subjects for students Unit 8: Life in the future can help

students understand some good and bad things about future life according to optimist’s

and pessimist’s attitudes; The benefits that future life brings to us thanks to the

developments in micro technology – computers and telecommunication.From that,it

raises people’s responsibilities of solving common problems in the world, in the country

and local place

2.Realities before applying the research

With the part A in unit 12, I used to teach the students by traditional method that

follows

Homework checking

I Lead in the lesson & vocabulary

- Ask some students to answer some questions in the textbook

- Introduce some new words/ expressions that appear in reading text

- students practice new words and phrases

II Practice:

-Ask ss to do all the tasks ( in textbook): Matching and answering questions.

- Check sts’ answer

III Further practice

Trang 4

- Ask sts to Complete the notes Pessimists and Optimists’s attitudes toward Life in

the future

-Give homework: - To learn by heart the new words

- To write a passage (100-120 words) about advantages and disadvantages of robots

follow the given cues

Advantages: + Save labor, lighten our work

+ do difficulties/hard jobs so that men have more time to enjoy life or

do more creative work

Disadvantages:+ replace human beings in many fields, so many people will lose

their jobs or go jobless

+ people become more dependent on robots; we can’t work properly

when the power is off or when robots stop workin

- Prepare for part B- Speaking

Solutions

In my research, I only mention the new ways in teaching Part A-Reading unit 12

Life in the future effectively by integrating many subjects in it I would like to

present the form of teaching plan below

Warm - up Presents video clips

Teacher: Presents questions

LIFE IN THE FUTURE

What will life be like in the future? Different people have different answers to

this question; some are pessimistic while others optimistic.

Things will be much worse than they are nowadays, pessimists say The whole

world will experience a period of economic depression Many large

corporations will be wiped out and millions of jobs will be lost The security of

the earth will be threatened by terrorism as terrorist groups will become more

powerful and more dangerous On the contrary, optimists believe that life will

be far better than it is today We will be living in a much cleaner environment,

breathing fresher air and eating healthier foods We will also be better looked

after by a more modern medical system Domestic chores will no longer be a

burden thanks to the inventions of labor – saving devices.

For better or worse, it is certain that in the future some things will be very

different Development in micro technology- computers and telecommunication

are bound to have a huge influence on various aspects of our lives Take work,

for instance Robots will do most of the work in factories, so they will be cleaner

places for fewer people to work in them Offices, too, will go electronic with the

result that paper will almost completely disappear More people will work from

home on computers linked to a head office As for travel, it is likely that space –

shuttle technology will be used in normal air travel achieving speeds of up to

15, 000 kph Cars will still be with us, but, instead of petrol, they will run on

anything from electricity to methane gas They will also be fitted with

computers to tell us how efficiently we are driving and if there is anything

wrong on the road ahead.

Whatever we expect from the future, remember that progress has never moved

in straight lines, and history is full of unexpected developments However, we

are confident that the future is in our hands, and it is our responsibility to

contribute to bettering our own lives.
