USING GAMES TO HELP GRADE 10 STUDENTS ENGAGE, ACTIVATE

AND STUDY IN LISTENING PERIODS

1.Reason for choosing the topic.

Teaching said to be hard job, especially the teacher of English In order to be satisfied and successful in teaching, teachers now need much more effort, practice and experience than ever before

Along with the development of science and technology, English is considered

a must to enter the world today It is undeniable that teaching English has centered upon helping students sharpening their reading and writing skills since these two skills are tested in the exam Now and then, speaking and listening are added to the exam, which makes both teachers and students confuse As a result, teaching and learning language changes dramatically, for most students, they find English in general and listening in particular very important yet most difficult one So they want

to have an active and effective atmosphere to practice the language This leads to the fact that teachers need to use modern methods and approaches and various equipment

to make the education process modern, pleasant and as exciting as possible And we all know that if students are engaged in the subject, they feel more comfortable Lean better and can active in an easier way

However, teaching English and listening at many high schools is still a challenging job Typically, due to time limit in teaching and students’ low levels of proficiency in term of vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation skills, many teachers approach listening period very simple and uninteresting Teacher introduces the part

of the unit, asks students to write some vocabularies and then do the tasks passively while he/ she plays the tape Therefore, students think that they do not do anything in listening periods but prepare the vocabulary and some even copy they key of the tasks before going to class This is a harmful habit since it can leads to a passive learning Moreover, we learn that those teaching and learning method are ineffective because they cannot create an interesting atmosphere for students so most of them get bored and tired when they have lessons in spite of the fact that they know listening is necessary for them

Considering all the above situation, in this writing, I mention the application of using games in teaching listening at Tuy Phuoc 3 high School And this is my reason

for choosing” using games to help grade 10 students engage, activate and study

in listening periods” for my research I hope that the result of using games in teaching listening will bring back many practical benefits to both the teachers and the students.

2.AIMS OF THE STUDY:

- To affirm the role of listening in teaching and listening English

- To emphasize the importance of motivation in teaching and learning listening.

- To point out the application of games in teaching listening brings back many

benefits to students in learning listening

- To contribute a small part to the improvement of teaching and learning at Tuy Phuoc 3 high School

3.SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The benefits of using games to help grade 10 students engage, activate and study in

listening periods create the effectiveness of students’ motivation in learning listening and the subjects under the study are the 10 th form students at Tuy Phuoc 3 High School

4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

The study will help to find the answers to the following questions

1 What are the role of listening and the importance of motivation in learning

listening?

2 What benefits can listening games bring to teachers and students?

3 What types of games should be used to help students engage, activate and study in listening?

B RATIONALE OF THE RESEARCH

Listening has an important role both in daily life and in academic contexts as it is crucial for people

to sustain effective communication In spite of the importance of listening in the development of the communicative and cognitive skills, it did not start to take its place in language teaching curriculum for long years However, in recent years, with the emphasis given in communication in language teaching, listening started to take its long deserved place in language programs Although there are different perspectives to teaching listening, the success of each perspective somewhat depends on addressing and minimizing the listening comprehension problems experienced by language learners

LISTENING

Motivation is a crucial factor in learning and teaching a foreign language, precisely in listening skills In fact, it is essential and important for an English teacher to know what the type of motivation is and how it is formed, captured, finally displayed in the learner of foreign language Both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations can activate the learners; The extrinsic motivation in an extroverted is in such a way that the learner takes advantage from and feels satisfy by communicating with others, while, in an introverted, the learner uses language for meditation and personal thinking in addition to personal activities and affairs Students with requisite motivation may

become effective language learners with ultimate language proficiency In this research, I tried to internalize the students awareness to listening skills whether they are intrinsically motivated or extrinsically moivated through questionnaire Thus, teachers of English and lecturers ought to realize and give heed to the personality and interests of their students They also should wise up to their motivation, particularly, it`s types

3 THE APPLICATION OF GAMES IN TEACHING LISTENING

Games are said to help and encourage many learners to sustain their interest and work Games are very exciting for students, applying games in teaching, teachers may enliven the class, change a little bit the monotonous classroom's atmosphere for

a pleasant and an enriched environment As a result, students will find it interesting and challenging when learning listening in contrast with no cooperation, no interaction in listening periods without games

Applying games in class also helps teachers to generate situations and contexts in which the language is practical, useful, functional and meaningful Students wants to take part in the process because they want to participate and understand what others are saying or have written and they have to speak or write in order to express their own ideas or give information

Therefore, games are very useful and effective It makes the learning process a good deal more interesting And it is teacher's duty to set up a system of various and attractive games to get students' curiosity, interest and participation

4 WHY USE GAMES IN TEACHING AND LEARNING LISTENING? Using games

in teaching and learning listening bring many benefits

Firstly, learners are motivated to learn the language when they are in a game McCallum (1980, p ix) emphasizes this point by suggesting that “games automatically stimulate student interest, a properly introduced game can be one of the highest motivating techniques.” Avedon (1971; Quoted in Deesri, 2002, p 2) further argues that “games spur motivation and students get very absorbed in the competetive aspects of the games; moreover, they try harder at games than in other courses” In other words, games stimulate students’ interest in classroom activities and as a result, students become motivated and willing to learn

Secondly, Games are student-focused activities requiring active involvement

of learners As a result, games provide learners with a chance to direct their own learning From an instructional view point, creating a meaningful context for language use is another advantage that games present By using games, teachers can create contexts which enable unconscious learning because learners’ attention is on the message, not on the language Therefore, when they completely focus on a game

as an activity, students acquire language in the same way that they acquire their mother tongue, that is, without being aware of it (Cross, 2000, p 153)

Thirdly, Games bring real -life situations to the confinement of the classroom which provides learners with an opportunity to use the language Celce-Murcia (1979: p 54) argues that “in games, language use takes precedence over language practice, and in this sense games help bring the classroom to the real world,

no matter how contrived they may be.” To state this differently, by putting learners in real life situations, games make a connection with the real usage of language In addition to these, McCallum (1980) explains that there are many advantages of games such as the fact that they

5 TYPES OF GAMES USED TO TEACH GRAMMAR

Competitive games: the aim of this type of games is to finish the game as soon

as possible before others

Communication games: They are used to exchange information Students

get information and they must react on it

Cooperative games: These games are very important They create the cooperation

among students

Code control games: students must not make mistakes when playing these games

because they are controlled If not, they will lose points

C THE STUDY

AND LEARNING ENGLISH AT THE SCHOOL

Tuy Phuoc 3 High School was establish 6 years ago In spite of being located in a

rural area,many students studies very good The school is well- equipped with

modern technology, which helps to create its sucess However, most of the students are good at natuarl subjects and like to learn those subjects so the school is trying to look for new methids which engage students in both natural and social subjects,

especially English

D EFFECTIVENESS OF USING GAMES IN TEACHING AND

LEARNING LISTENING

1 Real situation of teaching and learning listening at Tuy Phuoc 3 high school The researcher finds that many students at Tuy Phuoc 3 high school often have trouble in developing listening skills through listening periods in spite of the fact that they have practised listening in class for many years The problem is that in a typical listening

lesson, students either listen just to the taped script of a reading texbook or after listening to some materials, they answer some questions based on the content of the listening materials They consider listening period uninteresting since what they have

to do in class is listen, check and write down in the notebook There is no interaction,

no chances for them to engage, activate in class, therefore, during the lesson, they study very little about the target language As a result, they cannot apply what they learn to activate in class Moreover, most of the teachers at this school find the benefits of using games in teaching listening but only a few teachers use games during their listening periods With little time for listening practice, they want their students to listen carefully all the tasks designed in the textbook, otherwise, students may lack the knowledge Gradually, through this learning way, both teacher and students feel serious and bored Through teacher's observation, it is very clear that most of the students like games and would like their teacher to give them more games so that they can engage, acivate and study better When playing games, they are active listeners not a passive listener This also helps students learn more quickly, remember longer and enjoy the lessons with so much fun From observing, the researcher finds that the ultimate value of games in teaching and learning listening is very important for today's education

2 Benefits gained through using games in teaching and learning listening The researcher finds that in listening lessons that games were used, most of the students use English to discuss, to communicate so they can develop their 4 skills gradually Besides, when using games in teaching listening, the teacher can create the active, lively and meaningful environment with high motivation for students to practise and use the target language So using games in teaching and learning grammar is a method that brings not only the effectiveness but also the attractiveness In summary, the motivation of students in the lessons with games is higher that of the lessons without games

Phần dịch Tiếng Việt:

A.Phần mở đầu.

I.Lý do chọn đề tài:

Mục tiêu của môn Tiếng Anh là nhằm hình thành và phát triển ở học sinh những kiến thức kỹ năng cơ bản về Tiếng Anh và những phẩm chất trí tuệ cần thiết

để tiếp tục học lên hoặc đi vào cuộc sống lao động Vì vậy SGK Tiếng Anh THPT được biên soạn theo cùng một quan theo cùng một quan điểm xây dựng chương trình,

đó là quan điểm chủ điểm (thematic approach) và đề cao các phương pháp học tập tích cực chủ động của học sinh

Cả bốn kỹ năng nghe, nói, đọc, viết đều được quan tâm và được phối hợp trong các bài tập và các hoạt động trên lớp

Một trong 4 kĩ năng mà người học Tiếng Anh nói chung, học sinh THPT nói riêng, thường gặp những khó khăn nhất định trong quá trình học đó chính là kĩ năng nghe

Trên thực tế để có được kỹ năng nghe Tiếng Anh thì người học ngoại ngữ phải

có quá trình luyện tập nghe thường xuyên, lâu dài với những hình thức và nội dung nghe khác nhau Việc dạy và học nghe môn Tiếng Anh tuy không còn mới nhưng khó đối với tất cả giáo viên và học sinh THPT Với việc nghiên cứu đề tài này, tôi mong muốn sẽ phần nào giúp giáo viên dần khắc phục những khó khăn trên để tiến hành dạy nghe môn tiếng Anh có hiệu quả tốt hơn, học sinh tích cực, chủ động trong việc tiếp thu, lĩnh hội kiến thức của bài học Đó cũng là lý do mà tôi chọn đề tài này

II.Nhiệm vụ nghiên cứu:

Để thực hiện tốt đề tài nghiên cứu, người thực hiện đề tài này cần phải thựchiện các nhiệm vụ sau

1 Nghiên cứu các tài liệu hướng dẫn tiếng Anh, các kỹ thuật dạy nghe

2 Thao giảng, dạy thử nghiệm

3 Dự giờ đồng nghiệp , trao đổi, rút kinh nghiệm

4 Kiểm tra, đánh giá kết quả việc nắm bài của học sinh để từ đó có sự điều chỉnh, bổ sung hợp lý

III.Phạm vi nghiên cứu:

Đề tài xoay quanh đề tài nghiên cứu giảng dạy và học tập môn nghe tiếng Anh của giáo viên và học sinh bậc THPT Song đối tượng nghiên cứu điển hình mà tôi đã mạnh dạn áp dụng đề tài này là hai lớp 10A6 và lớp 10A8

IV.Mục đích nghiên cứu :

Với việc nghiên cứu thành công đề tài, sáng kiến kinh nghiệm sẽ giúp giáo viên có được những kinh nghiệm sau:

1 Cách thức tổ chức một tiết dạy nghe có hiệu quả

2 Các bước tiến hành một tiết dạy nghe có hiệu quả

3 Hướngdẫn học sinh tự luyện tập, rèn luyện để có kỹ năng ,kỷ xảo nghe tiếng Anh

V.Phương pháp nghiên cứu:

1 Phương pháp quan sát: Người thực hiện đề tài tự tìm tòi nghiên cứu, tiến hành dự giờ thăm lớp của đồng nghiệp

2 Phương pháp trao đổi, thảo luận: Sau khi dự giờ của đồng nghiệp, đồng nghiệp dự giờ người thực hiện đề tài, đồng nghiệp và người thực hiện đề tài tiến hành trao đổi,thảo luận để từ đó rút ra những kinh nghiệm cho tiết dạy

3 Phương pháp thực nghiệm: Giáo viên tiến hành dạy thử nghiệm theo từng mục đích yêu cầu cụ thể một số tiết dạy nghe

4 Phương pháp điều tra: Giáo viên đặt câu hỏi để kiểm tra đánh giá việc nắm nộidung bài học của học sinh

I Cơ sở lý luận:

1 Mục đích dạy học:

Mục đích của việc dạy ngoại ngữ không phải là cung cấp cho học sinh kiến thức của ngôn ngữ đó, mà mục đích cuối cùng của việc dạy ngoại ngữ nói chung, Tiếng Anh nói riêng là dạy học sinh khả năng giao tiếp bằng tiếng Anh Khả năng giao tiếp của học sinh thể hiện qua các kỹ năng: Nghe, Nói,Đọc, Viết Kỹ năng nghe tiếngAnh của học sinh được hình thành qua một quá trình học tập rèn luyện trong môi trường Anh ngữ Ngoài việc học tập ở trường lớp, học sinh phải tự học tập rèn luyện nghe thông qua các hình thức và các phương thức khác nhau

2 Các yếu tố cơ bản trực tiếp tác động đến hiệu quả của tiết dạy nghe a Giáo viên:

-Với phương pháp dạy học mới, tích cực thì giáo viên đóng vai trò chỉ đạo, điều

khiển học sinh hoạt động trong giờ học

-Để tiến hành một tiết dạy nghe có hiệu quả thì giáo viên cần thực hiện tốt các yếu tố

cơ bản sau:

+ Chọn và sử dụng linh hoạt các kỷ thuật dạy nghe phù hợp với từng nội dung
