III- CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

I- INTRODUCTION.

1 Reason of choose topic.

Nowadays, with the trend of international integration, English plays an increasingly important and indispensable role in all fields It can be said that English is a communication tool, the key to mankind's knowledge treasure On the other hand, the widespread application of information technology has made learning English urgent and necessary Therefore, learning English at the primary level has been particularly interested in recent years by students, parents, teachers, and the education industry across the country

As a teacher of the English department, I always want our students to understand all the fastest, most proactive, especially the children can apply the knowledge learned in actual communication For this, we'd like to be innovative teaching methods so that each class's students are more and more curious about active learning and memory training class in the least

We all know any language in the world, want to communicate with it, requires us to have a vocabulary because the words are an integral part of the language Indeed, without the required capital, they're going to not be ready to develop good skills in listening, speaking, reading, writing whether or not they have mastered phrases and grammar is true

Therefore, to assist students to master the vocabulary to use within the practice of skills is extremely important to work that concerns me, and decided

to implement the project: "Experrience in teaching vocabulary for students in grade 4 in Hoang Truong primary school"

2 Research purposes.

2.1.Advantages.

Teaching is a challenging job, with new challenges emerging every year

as the world changes day by day and teachers are ready to receive and impart new knowledge to students mine One problem that many teachers face is how

to introduce vocabulary so that they will not only understand but also feel interesting Their immature brains will be extremely pressured by the method Introduce and check the vocabulary by way of recording, cramming and memorization If there is not vocabulary teaching methods and inspiration, then you will consider learning vocabulary is to deal with the times check

Vocabulary is the most important tool in learning English In any of the skills of learning a foreign language, one must use vocabulary So English vocabulary is the source of capital, the main tool for English learners

In a lesson in English, most of the classes have a vocabulary introduction For high-achieving lessons, students must understand the pronunciation and the use of words To achieve this effect teachers have to choose the appropriate teaching methods to make students easy to understand, easy to remember, easy

to use

2.2 Difficulties.

- Under the current distribution programs, elementary English courses per

even in training But good to teach vocabulary to students more active Teachers must make pictures, maps for illustration, enabling them to easily remember words and directs their attention to the topic or lesson focus In addition,students here because the conditions and circumstances, parents are not aware of the importance of the English language, should not concern, urging them to learn this subject In addition, due to development in all aspects is limited, conditions for elementary students are exposed to the mass media, the entertainment programs use less English Leading to- To the students, besides a number of children seriously, there are not only fewer students learn through the speakers, not the words etched into the memory, not reading, writing regularly, not sense

of to the students, is also very difficult to check or guide them to learn at home Because the foreign language, parents are not always known It is also very difficult problem in the management of student learning at home Also, how students learn vocabulary is also worthy of attention, students often learn vocabulary by reading words in English and try to remember that in Vietnamese, wrote in writing as well as to deal with teachers, but not self-consciously check their, to inculcate new words and vocabulary available Therefore, they are forgetful and easily confused words with other words As a result, many students get bored and abandon school So teachers need to pay attention to this mentality

of student

3 Research subjects.

"Experience in teaching vocabulary for students in grade 4 in Hoang Truong primary school"

4 Research methods.

In this topic I have used some of the following methods:

a Method of theoretical research

Read several textbooks, reference books, and some on vocabulary

teaching

b Method of survey observation

To complete the "pedagogical assignment" I have:

- Primary school survey on vocabulary and teaching:

- Teacher interviews and projects (teamwork)

c Method of product research of activities

- Survey student quality

d Experimental teaching methods

e Methodology to study teaching experience

f Method of review, experience

II- CONTENT INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE

1 Rationale.

Innovation on teaching methods, using the pupils are center, to they explore, discover and acquire knowledge and the teacher is only guide them It

is a central goal to help pupils remember their lessons well These activities not only simple but also closely such as “oan tu ti”, match to sentences To contribute into the success of class, we use available instruments

2 Situation issues before applying experience initiative.

Vocabulary instruction is only part of the lesson but it plays an extremely important role in the success of the class because practice of the sentence, communication skills fluently, fluently, and advantageously Whether or not students are able to read new words, understand the meaning and use of vocabulary Teachers must have appropriate teaching methods for each lesson How to introduce and test vocabulary they feel excited but still effective

     Through the practical teaching of the past few years, I have noticed that the old way of teaching and learning vocabulary usually takes the form of: Teacher reads and lists words by teachers who have never appeared in the teaching process new words then teachers write all the new words on the board, explain the meaning in Vietnamese and then read them several times Have the students memorize the new word for examination in the subsequent class That makes them boring and stressful

In order to solve this problem, the first semester of school year

2021-2022 I had a small survey with two classes of grade 4 with a test within 40 minutes

Class Total number Exellent % Good Number % number Fair %

Vocabulary is one of the most important parts when learning a foreign language, if you want to be good at English, then any vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading and writing, you need as much vocabulary as possible Previously we had the habit of teaching vocabulary by providing numbers, meaning of words, and then capturing them This method is repeated in the lessons that make children bored Now with modern equipment we can apply, create innovative ways to teach vocabulary interestingly, effectively and attractively creating a multi-color playing field in English With the scale of the subject I am not ambitious and not enough to offer all the ways of teaching English vocabulary, but only with these methods of teaching vocabulary will help students learn effectively and do not feel pressured to learn vocabulary

3 Some of the methods of teaching English vocabulary in elementary school.

3.1 Use pictures to teach vocabulary.

- This is a common way but very effective in introducing and learning vocabulary Help students learn words, remember words through pictures

+ In Unit 9: In my classroom – Lesson 1 ( English 4 )

3.2 Teach vocabulary through song, chant, video clip.

Using video clips, songs, chant is very effective in learning and introducing vocabulary Sometimes they just belong to the song, chant they have

a relative vocabulary This method helps children learn from the natural way, without being forced to learn With this method, teachers need to invest time to find songs, chant, video clips that match the content of the lessons, which are suitable for the physiological age of the children I use this method to teach and reinforce vocabulary very effectively

Example 1 : Song - Numbers

One and one is two

Two and two is four

Four and one is five

Five and five is ten

-The song "The big number song" is a good song about the numbers, they can count from 1 to 1 billion but still enjoy

Example 2 : The Alphabet Song

AB C D E F G

H I J K L N M O P

Q R S T U V

X Y Z

Now I know my ABCs

Next time won`t you sing with me.

-The song "We are the alphabet" is a song that children like when learning about the alphabet

Example 3 : Days of the week

There are seven days

There are seven days

There are seven days in a week

Sunday, Monday

Tuesday, Wednesday

Thursday, Friday

Saturday.

Example 4 : Colours Song

Red,blue,and yellow

Green and white

And pink and brown

Red, blue,and yellow

These are beautiful colours

3.3 TPR ( total physical response) teaching method.

TPR is a kind of vocabulary geometry that they like very light, attractive, receptive to the game The children can TPR according to the song, chant (see the video clip and follow the activities) Or the teacher just read the words and express the words with action, they say and follow

Example :

- clap your hand – clap, clap ,clap : vỗ tay

- Stand up : đứng lên

- sit down : ngồi xuống

- shake your hand : lắc tay

- shake your body : đung đưa cơ thể

- Wash your hand : rửa tay

- brush your teeth: đánh răng

- run : chạy

- swim : bơi

- fly : bay

- ride a bike : đi xe đạp

-sing a song : hát

-read a book : đọc sách

- There are many words and phrases we can teach and learn through the TPR form that makes the English lessons exciting

3.4 Give synonyms.

Teachers use the vocabulary and meaning equivalent to help students understand the meaning of words is about to learn

Example :

Bike = bicycle

Football = soccer

Learn= study

Autumn= fall

Corn= maize

3.5 Proposed antonyms.

Example : Like - hate

Fat – thin

Black- white

Funny - boring

tall short small big short long strong weak young old

3.6 Use real objects.

Teachers can point to real objects in the classroom and introduce: "a book", "a pen", "a ruler"

The teacher then asks the student to look at the object and guess the meaning of the word This method gives them excitement and high attention because the teacher's introduction is something very close to them daily and easy to guess for the children Real items can be around the classroom or the teacher can prepare at home

Example1 :(Unit 8- This is my pen page 52Grade 3 )

a book

a pen

a ruler

a pencil

a desk

a pencil sharpener

a school bag

Example 2 : Unit 8- My School Subjects

Science

Example:

badminton volleyball chess football chat hide and seek
