PART I: INTRODUCTION

1 Reasons for choosing the topic

Firstly, In the current technology era, the application of software in English

teaching has become popular and provides many benefits The use of software tools in the classroom can encourage collaborative learning, which is a creative way to promote teamwork and develop social skills among students By creating activities that require students to work together, the study promotes an invironment

of creativity and exploration

It also helps teachers diversify teaching activities so that the teaching process

becomes more attractive and achieves higher results Software is a great tool for teacher to interact with students, supplement the database and collect huge

information about questions and problems that teacher wants to teach in the lesson Secondly, The demand for innovation in English teaching and learning require teacher to change their old method, making students' learning more active,

attractive and exciting.The use of these software also makes it easy for teachers to create questions, games, tests based on the content of the lesson At the same time, teachers can also monitor students' learning progress and evaluate the

effectiveness of learning activities

In short, the adaption of software such as Quizziz, Bamboozle… is an effective way

to help students increase their interaction with the language and become more passionate about learning English

From my teaching experience as well as the sharing from my colleagues I realize that the lack of interaction and attractiveness in the learning process can make students discouraged and reluctant to learn English

Therefore I choose “Applying some software such as Quizizz, Bamboozle to

create activities that promote interest for the 10grade students in learning

English ” as my measure to help me meet the demands of new general educational

program

In short, the adoption of software such as Quizziz, Bamboozle, to create activities

in Grade 10 Global Success is an effective way to help students increase their interaction with the language and become more passionate about learning English

2 Aims and significance of the study

The aim of this study is to explore the use of software tools such as Quizziz and Bamboozle to create some activities for Grade 10 Global Success class These software tools can be used to create engaging and interactive activities that will help students to review and reinforce their knowledge of the subject matter before starting their class

The significance of this study lies in the potential benefits of using these software tools to enhance the learning experience of students By providing a fun and

interactive way to review and reinforce their understanding of the subject matter, students are more likely to be engaged and motivated in their learning This, in turn, can lead to improved academic performance and a more positive attitude towards learning This study also promotes students' interest and self-learning ability There is a fact that most of SS are not fond of learning E, they just study for exam…for some other reasons They don’t study for interest They always feel

learning E is difficult So I apply this measure as an easier and more interesting way to learn English When they feel it is attractive they will be active in learning

It also help students to review and reinforce their knowledge of the subject matter before or after their lesson.This, in turn, can lead to improved academic performance and a more positive attitude towards learning

Another aim of this method is to find out some adapted activities to encourage collaborative learning among students When SS take part in the game, they are required to work in pair , in group, they have to exchange information to each other It means they communicate more This can lead to increased student participation, collaboration, and critical thinking skills, which are all essential for

success in the 21st-century workforce

3 Methods of the study

The research methodology for this study would involve a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods First, a survey would be conducted among Grade 10 Global Success students to gather their feedback on their current learning experience and their preferences for using software tools in the classroom The survey would also assess their comfort level with technology and their attitudes towards learning

Next, I would create a series of some activities using Quizziz and Bamboozle software tools, based on the topics covered in the Grade 10 Global Success curriculum The activities would be designed to be engaging, interactive, and aligned with the learning objectives of the course

I would then observe the students during the some activities to gather qualitative data on their engagement levels, participation, and feedback This would be done through classroom observations and student interviews

Finally, I would collect quantitative data on the effectiveness of the some activities

in improving student learning outcomes This would be done through pre- and assessments of student knowledge and performance, as well as analysis of student grades and participation levels

post-The mixed-methods approach would allow for a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the effectiveness of the software tools in enhancing the learning experience of Grade 10 Global Success students

baamboozle to create activities that promote interest for 10th grade students in learning English ” will focus on creating activities in English using Quizziz and Bamboozle software The study will focus on 10th graders in Nguyen Duy Trinh High school and English teachers at the school The evaluation of the
