A.INTRODUCTION

I THE GENERAL POINTS

1 The reasons of choosing the topic

Nowadays, English plays an important role in the life because it is a key

to connect with everyone all over the world

In Quan Son district, students in secondary schools have chance to study English althought English subject is a new subject However, almost secondary schools haven`t had enough teaching aids as well as real objects This leads to the big prolem that teachers have had lots of difficulities in teaching students effectively, especially, how to teach in order to help students remember all the words they have learnt, that is our problem From that idea, I have thought a lot and tried my best to make picture cards to teach students in grade 7 Besides, there are teachers who never use them for teaching, or have used in teaching but not effectively

From that fact, I have decided to research the topic "Using pictures in teaching English at grade 6 in some secondary schools in Quan Son District"

2 Aims of the topic

Teaching and learning English have been strongly developing both inside and outside schools not only in Viet Nam but also all over the world Thus, the purpose of the application of picture cards and word cards in teaching in grade 6

is improving the quality of basic steps of students` learning, create interactively educational environment, students are encouraged and facilitated to actively seek knowledge, streamline the learning process and self - discipline themselves

The application of pictures in teaching English will increase the efficiency

to absorb lessons The lessons using pictures will help students contact with the real life and make lessons more vivid, rich and attractive for students Teachers

do not need to explain a lot, students are still interested in learning and it is very

easy for students to understand the lesson as well They will remember words a lot and use sentences fluently

II THEORETICAL BASIS AND PRACTICAL BASIS

1 Theoretical basis

Devirved the purpose, requirements and based on the theoretical basis to teach – learn English at secondary schools, foreign language subject in general education environment, required the essential contents on the following aspects : education, ideology, morality, fostering cultural knowledge and training communication skill in English These aspects are closely related to each other Through teaching activity with pictures will create a good communication skill for each student in English and communicate well through the themes of each unit The relation among such contents is characteristic of English subject that teachers and learners need to be aware in the process of dominating subject

At secondary schools, learning foreign languages in general and English

in a particular subject is a new subject To help students in grade 6 step into the basic concept in the subject as well as become familiar with a new language, requires teachers to be very skillful in introducing new contents, teachers need

students to get familiar with a new vocabulary, teachers will use many different forms to illustrate such as picture cards, word cards Thanks to picture cards and word cards, students have access to knowledge and activities close to reality, instead of the form of acquiring knowledge through teachers` lectures as before

or reference books Students can observe actual images at many angles which have vivid intuitive and absorb easily Thus, students can perceive the knowledge faster and stronger

In conclusion, using pictures at secondary schools is an important factor for students in grade 6 to enhance the teaching effectiveness to meet the renewal requirement in teaching English at secondary schools now

2 Practical basis

Nowadays, there are lots of reference books as well as professional training curriculum actively supporting teaching towards the innovation method of foreign language teachers

The practication of teaching "Helping students in grade 6 learn English well

by using pictures in teaching vocabulary” brings quite positive effectiveness

Through the techniques of using pictures in the tested classes, students really like to learn English Pictures have made students bolder and more vibrant in English learning in class Every time I use pictures to teach them, the lessons are very successful In the learning process, students have absorbed and acquired quite much knowledge, especially the number of new words and model sentences in the content of the lesson They also improve the listening and speaking skills They pronounce better about the stress of the vocabulary as well

as that of the sentence

Using pictures make students easy to see, easy to aquire and by inference, students could have predicted about the mean of new words and grammartical structures

Applying English cards in teaching will enhance the quality of learning for students, create the educational environment high interactively not merely teachers lecture, students listen or teachers read, students write Teachers can lecture whenever or wherever Students can self - study with pictures, or parents also teach their children by themselves when they use pictures

I THE STATES OF THE RESEARCH TOPIC

Through practical teaching, I find that every lesson, which does not have real objects in general or pictures is very boring, Therefore, students are not interested in learning, they are bored with learning the subject, even they hate the English lesson Especially for students at Quan Son Boarding Secondary School, most of them have not been aware of learning well yet, parents neglect promting their chilren as well Besides, the time of each period is too short, there

is only 45 minutes Thus, that will be a major challenge for teachers to teach students how to remember the pronunciation, the meaning and the appearance of each word If we teach students in grade 6 without pictures, I find that students feel very difficult to remember new words But since I have applied this research topic, the result has surprisingly changed, feeling bored with learning and teaching has disappeared little by little, the state of lazy students has reduced because students completely can absorb the knowledge of lessons (new words and grammar and practicing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills) in class As a result, students can remember quickly the words which teachers have just provided as well as the words which they leanrt the last lessons

However, the general problem at secondary schools in Quan Son district

in gereral and at Quan Son Boarding Secondary School in particular is lack of the English classroom and other teaching equipments such as real objects, or some schools also have enough equipments but teachers do not often use or

teachers haven`t prapared teaching aids before teaching.This leads to the
