PART I: INTRODUCTION

1 Rationale

The strong development of science and technology revolution has brought the education in genneral and foreign language teaching in particular in Viet Nam with new achievements and challenges Thereby, It requires the educators’ best efforts to keep up with the times

Accordingly, with the development of science-technology, many teaching aids were created, which have brought about effective results, helped teachers to orient students to access abundant sources of knowledge interestingly From teaching with electronic lesson plans, teaching by showing on screen, in recent years, more modern teaching technology devices such as smart electronic boards, electronic textbooks, lesson design softwares.etc have appeared more and more popular For English as a subject at school, there have been many changes in the way of teaching and learning to help students and teachers more easily to access to new and advanced methods The educational applications aim at improving the autonomy and learning motivation of learners In addition, if learning only taking place in class is not enough, teachers also have to find methods and ways to increase students' self-study so that learning can achieve maximum results During

my teaching time, I have noticed that the students are eager to build lessons, highly concentrate on the lessons used games on educational apps and express their desire

to learn more such lessons At the same time, students' self-study is improved if there is a teacher's supervision Furthermore, the 11th National Party Congress, especially, the Resolution No 29-NQ/TW dated november 4th, 2013 also clearly stated the goal of fundamental and comprehensive reform of education and training

As an English teacher, with more than 10 years of experience, with enthusiasm and love for the profession, I have always wondered about the subject that I have taught, I have constantly researched and applied new methods, active teaching techniques That’s why I boldly share my teaching experience about

“Using educational apps to increase interest and efficiency in learning English

at Quynh Luu 4 upper secondary school” With the view to providing teachers of

English in general and teachers at Quynh Luu 4 upper secondary school in particular a better understanding about using learning apps in teaching English In addition, the study was implemented with the hope to make a little contribut ion

to the quality of teaching and learning English at upper secondary schools in Nghe An

2 Novelty in the study

+ The study fulfills the requirements of innovating teaching methods and diversifies forms of teaching English in current period

+ Allowing students to play learning games directly in class via phone is a new form of teaching in the period of digital transformation

+ Assigning homework and checking it through apps is very different from the traditional way

+ Designing games on available educational software is a new and convenient way of designing lessons in the 4.0 era

+ Preparing and sharing practice tests and mock exams with 12th graders in

in our schools and the schools in Nghe An province in order to increase the quality

of English subjects at Quynh Lưu 4 Upper Secondary school in particular and Nghe An province in general is something no teacher has done before

3 Aims of the study

For the reasons mentioned above, the study has been done with the aims to: + Apply and promote the advantages of new teaching methods to motivate students’ spirit of learning English and improve the quality of teaching and learning of this subject

+ Take advantages of educational apps in teaching persuasively in the era 4.0

I Theoretical background

1 New trend in teaching today

In the face of the strong change and development of society, especially the explosion of information and communication technology (Revolution 4.0), the challenges of world economic integration have been posed to the education new challenges In addition to changing and supplementing some teaching contents, we also need to find appropriate and creative methods and forms of teaching organization to form and develop students' capacity Teaching now is not simply the transmission of knowledge in one direction, but it is the teacher who organizes and directs the students' activities Teaching activities must create enthusiasm and excitement for students, especially in exercises and even after school Therefore, I choose to use games designed apps and assign homework through apps to avoid boredom in teaching and learning English

II PRACTICAL BACKGROUND

1 Reality of teaching and learning English at high schools

In recent years, the advent of educational software has been popular, nevertheless, very few teachers use these new technologies regularly in teaching One-way knowledge transmission is still the main teaching method of many teachers The number of teachers who are often proactive and creative in coordinating teaching methods to promote students' positivity, self-reliance and creativity is still small The application of information technology and the use of teaching means have not been widely and effectively implemented Some teachers are still confused with the new teaching method, which is not attractive to students, the lectures are not attractive or the teaching style is too boring As a result, creating motivation to study subjects in general and English in particular is still limited From the actual survey in some classes in the school, the results are as follows:

2 Purpose of using educational apps in English teaching

With the motto "Learn to play, play to learn", the application of games designed on educational application is a top choice The study of English subject always creates psychological pressure for students Especially, the boredom of doing homework Therefore, eye-catchingly designed fun games will create excitement for students, increase learning efficiency Through games, it will help students form, consolidate and practice knowledge effectively The game form is rich, diverse, new and interesting Careful and thorough preparation will arouse

interest and passion for learning English Attractive forms of reward and punishment: awarding points, giving gifts, fines for singing, dancing, drawing, imitating the sounds or movements of animals… will appreciate students participating in the game play In addition to absorbing knowledge in an enjoyable way, They also help learners reduce the stress of studying and remembering knowledge for a longer time Using the games on educational apps also trains many skills such as observation, quick response, self-study skills.etc The students can study at home by doing the exercises that the teacher has prepared on the software, 12th graders also have the opportunity to test their knowledge through

taking these tests This is also the goal of innovation teaching today

3 Advantages and disadvantages of designing games on educational apps at Quynh Luu 4 high school

* Advantages:

- About the school's facility: Most of the classes are equipped with quite large-screen televisions, there are 2 projector rooms for teaching, and the school has equipped wifi network to every classroom

- For students: Most students have smart phones and they can access to IT easily

- For teachers: There are quite a few teachers with basic knowledge of IT, so the use of games is not too difficult

- For School Managers: They always encourage teachers to actively innovate teaching methods and organize teaching sessions on October 20th ; November 20th ; March 8th according to innovation themes

- The strong development of educational apps creates conditions for teachers

to design lesson plans quickly and lively

- A number of the teachers are afraid to innovate, especially older teachers The old teaching methods are still deeply rooted in the subconscious and are hard

to change for a long time

- The IT skills of many teachers are not really good, so designing games on apps faces many difficulties The ability to organize games is still awkward and takes time, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the lesson
