I INTRODUCTION

In the industrialization and modernization of the country , our country is increasingly integrated into the international economy , the frequent contact with foreigners more and more English is the international language used widely around the world to help the nations to understand each other better Because of that reason , English has been taught in schools across the country Thankfully, rather than primary school English teaching is included with many textbooks mass by the Ministry of Education and Training expertise has helped elementary students acquainted with the English language

Although English is the primary electives It has important properties beginning in the next school year in Secondary school So it holds a significant role in the learning process of the children It equips them vocabulary ,

grammar and simple basic close sentence patterns about the topics that are their

favorite, is the point of introducing all relatives , friends school topics , family topics , and other topics (the world around us) Therefore, to inspire and reinforce students’ knowledge is an extremely important work Because this affects a lot more motivated students , a basic factor to impact the process of learning a language : Children will not learn without motivation - and the consolidation of knowledge also inculcate over the corpus of the lessons learned

in a systematic way , as a solid foundation to help them learn better , more confident in the learning process later

It is not easy for students to get best result So how do they form and develop learning skills most comprehensive ? How to make students love and engrave foreign cultures? In any way to help students understand that not all solid boring , to truly charismatic , playful atmosphere in class comfort , inspire students to absorb foreign culture that they themselves not know anything

Today on the mass media appears a lot of games to attract television audiences , especially young audiences , such as pupils, students

All games , music and television programs , if asked : " Tell me the name

of the game , the television music show that you know ? " They will answer rim wall as Music for kids , DOREMI , Golden dragon , Garden music , how to sing, and recently the program The Voice Kids So here we are the most loyal audience

With so many reasons , efforts by many teachers and students I tried to compose a short song tone fun easy to imitate and then incorporated into a number of questions , some of which they have learned to teach the children had fun learning to sing Unexpectedly, the children enjoyed singing and sang so boldly , more open , not shy anymore , they also actively participate in lessons more , in recent years much progress students in language courses brother But the results are not really high , but the first step to help me progress more excitement in their work After class , a very interesting thing is I 've caught them singing short songs clam clams that were new words into my cage Indeed , it was a success

So this year , I decided on the topic " Inspire and reinforce knowledge of

English lessons by short songs " and please note that these are my little

experience , it can not new but I 've done and have some relative results We hope that these experiences contribute to complement and enrich the teaching method of his colleagues

II SOLVING PROBLEM

1 Theoretical basis :

The views of the Party and the State have determined goals of education is

to train people to meet the comprehensive requirements of the country - industrialization and modernization In particular , foreign language - English is one language serves as a means of actively supporting the most efficient process

of deeper integration of the country So improving the quality of education in general and the quality of English in particular is one of the top concerns of today's education And it is more strongly impressed the audience were students

at the primary level - beginner's approach to foreign language

- To carry out this objective should be supported by the Party , the government, the education sector ,especially the team of teachers, parents and students to contribute

- Currently the distraction condition , students learned to cope without self rote learning , many poor students How to overcome this ? How to attract students to focus on learning as the problem requires educators , and passionate teachers , school pedagogical council primary concern , always working hard to plan , programs , forms , methods to improve teaching and learning better , improve the quality and efficiency of education

2 The actual situation :

- The majority of students are not paying attention and investment in foreign languages , prepare a sketchy way , to deal in very weak when they learn this subject Since then , they have some sick psychological study of English During school hours , the majority of them are usually passive , lack of flexibility , problems reading - English-speaking and participating at speaking lesson to learn

- Elementary school students are the children , the level of their awareness is low , the quality of academic disciplines asynchronous In addition , students in

additional accommodation , improve their knowledge At the same time this is the first year to become familiar with a foreign language , while still having a significant number of students have not learned your mother tongue well

- Moreover, English is the only primary electives , so students themselves and even parents are not interested in this subject , they only invest in raising their children learn math , English Vietnam

Despite these objective conditions and subjective influences directly in the teaching process but we knew ahead overcome the difficulties ahead , gradually improving the quality of English teaching hours to meet section Textbooks target new programs

- In addition, the small tracks are also used for entertainment in order to create a playful , exciting learning or to teach them the lessons illustrate vocabulary , accent , rhythm , and a points of English grammar , help them memorize more easily Thereby fostering pure soul , love of culture and beauty of foreign languages in general and the beauty of the English subjects in particular , to help them shape and personality development skills and comprehensive better

b Preparation:

- The reference is friends and help music teachers , especially fellow music teacher at school

- Teaching aids that teachers must be prepared and the contents thoroughly self- composed songs , so the teacher should summarize some vocabulary and basic structure of lessons for each topic to incorporated into the song , along with research organizations choose appropriate forms

c Implementation measures :

After preparation , I proceed as follows :

1 With songs available in textbooks I have extensive research on music so joyful music , vivid and consistent with the words available

2 For all topics not available in textbooks I compose short songs playful tone , busy , according to the familiar melody , easy to imitate to teach the children

3 To more effectively , I bravely held many diversified singing ( when they were under the clever songs and ) increases the efficiency of their songs Students or teachers can explain briefly discuss the content of the song and the students read the words fluently once before singing Sing the song and understand the content students will enjoy singing and easier to remember Through that language be inserted will be used many times and greater flexibility , engraved from new and more structured Here are some of the forms

I have used very effectively as follows :

* Always give them the habit of singing an English song at the beginning of each class period Sometimes in the middle of the lesson they are stressed , tired due to the weather last school , teachers should also give them a tune or two songs short , gentle tone fun - together with the known sometimes clapping rhythm , and beat one, beat faster and faster then ended, in order to pay back the cheerful , busy , playful , lively classroom Through singing English class , students will learn the intonation of the faster songs , from which they will boldly , confidently communicate in English

* Combine several movements or gestures during the singing match Singing combination play as " singing contest " ( not the one from the song 's theme song has been following the rule of teachers )

* Forms pursue singing singing is fun and educational is significant , it caused Appetite students Singing chase ( with 2 or 4 groups ) gives the theater , groups, friends and listeners a sense of confusion initially when the group sang various (different words but the music still follow a similar pattern ) , and finally the same - to sing a verse If the song is right , we have helped create self-confidence , independence for the children , not listen , do not follow the other vocals Then , make sure they will be happy and proud even more Also at the end of the school year , the introduction of one or two songs in English class 4 programs can not only help them but also entertain cause excitement , curiosity enjoy learning in their courses

Thus, we know that the way to support not only English lessons through games , storytelling , drama , camping but also through small tracks , more fun then to encourage the use of English in a creative way practical Use as many English, learn English as much as possible to communicate in everyday life and in today's modern society

Here are some songs content for elementary students that I compose and apply

in my teaching process

* The focus of communication include :

Students infatuated with songs

Lesson 2 : OUR NAMES

The song helps students consolidate their name with the introduction of two ways : " I am + name " and " My name is name + " At the same time they are prompted to name your questions through structured : " What is your name ? "

* The focus schools include :

Lesson 3 : MY FRIENDS

The song reminds students to recall the personal pronouns is third person singular " he, she " and forms of the verb "to be " , respectively

Lesson 4 : MY SCHOOL

Students introduced to the location, and the characteristics of his class used to say " This is /That is and " Songs help students memorize easily , quickly , and remember lessons for longer

Lesson 5 : SCHOOL OBJECTS

Through this song , students will get a lot of school supplies at the ease and fun

as : book , ruler , eraser , pen , bag , pencil

Lesson 7 : AGES

This is the song tunes cute they are familiar and loved to sing Thereby ,

consolidate your children to ask and answer questions about the old form : " How old are you? " And " I am + years "

The song educate students with emotional attachment to their homes and strengthen their knowledge for the introduction of the homes, and their characteristics

* The world around

Lesson 9 : THE WEATHER

The purpose of this song is to help students review words and sentence structures learned about weather in UNIT 16 – Grade 3:

Structure: What’s the weather like ? – It’s + weather.

“What’s the weather like ?

It’s sunny today

What’s the weather like ?

It’s rainy today

What’s the weather like ?

It’s cloudy in my hometown

What’s the weather like ?

It’s windy in my hometown”

This is the song I written base on Music of ‘ Gui anh mot khuc dan ca” ( Dan ca Nam bo) in Music book 3 students have learned before

And there are many more songs that I have used in the program but I can not all

be mentioned here, as the article: Numbers song (Unit 12: How old are you? -

of the week" - Grade 8 Unit 4, all "Month songs" - Unit 3 My birthday- Grade
