INTRODUCTION

1 Research rationales

The practicing of vocabulary and sentences is extremely important and necessary for every school In the academic years 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, the entire education sector implemented the task: based on the guidelines of the Ministry of Education and Training, localities developed teaching plans to ensure the completion of the Elementary Education Program; enhancing suitable forms of teaching according to the guidance of the Ministry of Education and Training This is also the third academic year in which the Education sector has implemented the 2018 General Education Program for grades 1 and 2, and the first year of implementing this program for grade 3; implementing the contents according to Resolution No 88/2014/QH13 of the National Assembly, Directive No 16/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister on renovating the curriculum, ensuring the quality, effectiveness, and proper schedule of textbooks for general education For grade 3 students, the Ministry of Education and Training has approved three Vietnamese language textbooks for school use: "Tiếng Việt 3 - Kết nối tri thức với cuộc sống" (Connecting Knowledge with Life); "Chân trời sáng tạo" (Horizon of Creativity) (published by Vietnam Education Publishing House); and "Cánh diều" (Kite) (published by Ho Chi Minh City University of Education Publishing House) "Tiếng Việt 3 - Kết nối tri thức với cuộc sống" implements the main innovative ideas throughout the textbook compilation by Vietnam Education Publishing House: Easy to teach - Easy to learn - Suitable for students The knowledge in the textbooks should not only be understood and memorized but also serve as important "materials" to help students develop the qualities and abilities they need in life Following "Tiếng Việt 1" and "Tiếng Việt 2,"

"Tiếng Việt 3" accompanies students in practicing and reinforcing their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in Vietnamese; it helps students become more confident in learning and communication The lessons, with beautiful images and clear language, will take students to new horizons with many useful and interesting things The textbook series incorporates the latest achievements in textbook

compilation from developed countries and inherits the experience of teaching Vietnamese in Vietnam; it helps teachers and students effectively implement language teaching through communication activities in natural and familiar contexts with daily life

Vietnamese is one of the most important and necessary subjects in primary school In addition to learning mathematics to develop logical thinking for children, learning Vietnamese helps them shape and develop their language skills Through the Vietnamese language, children learn how to communicate and express their thoughts and emotions accurately and expressively The importance of Vietnamese in primary school also aims to cultivate essential soft skills and life skills for children The content of life skills is integrated into all subjects of the curriculum These skills mainly include communication skills, self-awareness, creative thinking skills, decision-making skills, self-control skills, and more Through these skills, children will be able to recognize the good values in life, assess themselves correctly to gain confidence, self-esteem, and continuously strive for academic and personal growth in both learning and life

In the primary school Vietnamese curriculum, the content of Word and Sentence Practice holds an important position in developing students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills Its task is to enrich students' vocabulary and equip them with knowledge about words and sentences Words and sentences play a crucial role in the spoken and written language system When teaching Word and Sentence Practice, we must aim for three main objectives: providing students with a wider vocabulary, helping them use words accurately, and teaching them to use Vietnamese words appropriately in everyday communication according to context and purpose Aligning with the educational innovation, when teaching Word and Sentence Practice, teachers need to adopt new teaching approaches, organize diverse and rich teaching activities and exercises that contribute to developing students' vocabulary and language skills in communication Therefore, there is a need to build

a system of high-quality exercises to enhance knowledge of words and sentences, which has attracted the attention of researchers and resulted in the development of supplementary exercise books designed for the curriculum

Based on the above reasons and the current social context, we have decided to

choose the topic: "BUILDING A SYSTEM OF EXERCISES TO PRACTICE THE KNOWLEDGE OF WORDS AND SENTENCES IN VIETNAMESE BOOK "KẾT NỐI TRI THỨC VỚI CUỘC SỐNG" FOR GRADE 3 STUDENTS.”

2 Literature review

Based on summarizing and synthesizing the research documents of predecessors, I conducted a study of the research history of the topic from the perspective of the system of exercises in teaching Vietnamese It can be said that the system of exercises has appeared in textbooks for a long time, and all textbooks have exercises Therefore, the system of exercises in teaching to train students has long been a concern of many educators both inside and outside the country

In the book "Teaching Method Vietnamese in Primary Education" by

authors Lê Phương Nga and Nguyễn Trí (1999), published by the National

University Press in Hanoi, it is asserted that "Words and sentences play a particularly important role in the language system The role of words and sentences in the language system determines the significance of teaching the Content of Word and Sentence Practice in primary education." The task of

practicing vocabulary and sentences is to enrich students' vocabulary and develop their ability to use words and construct sentences; it also provides them with some knowledge about words and sentences

In Vietnam, teaching and using the system of exercises have also been emphasized in documents on teaching methods and techniques The research work

The book "Teaching Method Positive Education" by author Nguyen Ky emphasizes

“the role of teachers as guides and directors for students to discover knowledge on

their own, along with the method of finding knowledge and self-assessment” To

achieve this, an effective system of exercises must be applied The author also quotes

a German philosopher: "The best way to understand is to do," and emphasizes the idea that "doing gradually leads to knowing how to do." Thus, the importance of

learning and practicing is clearly demonstrated through the system of exercises in training students

The authors of the " Teaching Method Vietnamese" textbook when

mentioning and determining that exercises play a very important role in the teaching process and training students' skills in using words and sentences in particular and Vietnamese in general: " Through guiding students in doing exercises and the process

of their exercise completion, teachers assess the results of their teaching activities, while students reinforce their knowledge and truly develop their skills in using Vietnamese.", The textbook provides specific examples of each type of exercise according to each subject

In addition, when building the Vietnamese exercises system, in his thesis “The

system of exercises aims to cultivate language proficiency for primary school students.”, author Le Huu Thinh developed some principles for building the system

of exercises to train language ability for primary school students: "Firstly, it is essential to ensure the systematic nature of the exercises Secondly, attention must be paid to exploring the language proficiency of students in Vietnamese in general and specifically in vocabulary Thirdly, the content of the exercises should meet the demands of innovation in teaching methods” Thus, the research has partly confirmed

the importance of a good Vietnamese exercise system to meet the above three criteria

Based on the above research, and the current practical situation, many books

on exercise systems have been developed: The system of vocabulary expansion exercises based on topics for 2nd-grade students by author Đặng Thị Phấn; The workbook "Tiếng Việt 3 - tập 1, tập 2: Kết nối tri thức với cuộc sống" (Connecting Knowledge with Life) and the exercise book "Bài tập phát triển năng lực học Tiếng
