PART I INTRODUCTION

1.1 The reasons for choosing topics.

In today’s life, humanity is facing risks and challenges of such naturaldisasters, epidemics as well as population boom led to a series of problemswith housing needs, food, energy … This brings about some negatives thataffect on the environment, human health and impact on our planet “Let’ssave our planet” – this mission is not individual, but in fact there is still asignificant number of people indifferent to this young generation isespecially high school students Because every family only has from 1 to 2children , taking care of children is more enjoyable, Parents always tellthem so carefully wrapped, do everything for the child even little things thatthey can do themselves The problem is that most children are not able toadapt to the social environment when unforeseen circumstances occur, there

is no proper awareness about their work or donot have the standards wordswhen communicating with others of othrewise their life skills are limited Tohelp students overcome these limitations may also become more flexible indealing with real- life, so right from the start with a fact of life, so at thebeginning of the 2016 – 2017 school year, when assigned to teach English

9 , I need to think about training them some life skills and experiences with

the tittle “ Train the students’ life skills through a number of English

lessons in 9 th grade ”

1.2 The purpose of research.

The topic focuses on education, training four basic life skills groupsfollowing:

- Communication skills

- Adjusted cognitive skill, behavior

- Skills to improve health and ahealth protection

- Skills disaster or epidemic

1.3 Study subject

Although the mass media propaganda always contains a lot of content aboutlife skills education, but most of them are still not aware : such as , fans inclassooms still run or light still bright , lights in hours the exercise yard orafter school, litter in the classroom , school yard or on the go, in publicplaces although the trash bin is placed next to it Do not turn off the waterafter you’ve been using All of these rules are explained and remindedregularly by the teacher and the monitor Besidesdealing with the change of

the weather as floods, effects Fon … limited There are still many

chhildren dress style braking in cold weather, amphibious outing whenfloods, walking in the street when the thunderstorm Right from the time tobegin their school , they were speaking the words or with the rightbehaviors But in fact they have not used them well in commuication,especially the isolated students, the education and traing need to becommunicating more frequently

1.4 Research Methodology

I have explored research documents and Secondary English program,combined projected time colleague, experiment, examine and compare theacademic performance of students, I have learned the best methods forteaching children

PART II: CONTENT EXPERIENCE INITIATIVE

2.1 Basis of the initiative argued experience

Derived from the goals of education is to train Vietnamese people to developcomprehensively, have goodness, knowledge, health, asthetics and

profession , loyalty to the ideals of national independence and socialism;form and nurture the personality, qualities and competencies of citizen;satisfy requirements of the construction and defense of the country Thegoal of teaching is not only to give students some basic knowledhe andpractical activities swirling around the topic of life but also initially and trainthem some life experiences Moreover, education is not just as the process ofconveying the life itself; schools do not separate from society; and thestudent is the center of life andsociety So education for life skills students is

a very important thing, is a necessary requirement in order to meet this goal

2.2 Status of the problem

2.3 New Solution

From this situation I have studied and performed the topic “ Train the livingskills for students through a number of English lessons in 9th grade ” Thetopic was developed by the following methods:

a) Method 1: Institution for educating and practising the communication skills.

Communication is the needs of the people, by communicating they canunderstand each other If there is no communication, there is no society Buthow to communicate effectively, this is not a simple matter

If we don’t know the rules, There are five principles:

+ In terms of content: say enough content

+ On substance: say what is true and has good grounds for thebelieving

+ Relationships: strictly speaking topics, avoiding digresions

+ Manner: speak plainly and obviously

+ Courtesy : This motto is always present in types of activities

Moreover, communication skills are typical views of a foreign language inschools Foreign language teaching methods ( according to teaching newperspective communication ) is selected as broad guidelines, communicativecompetence is the basic teaching, considering both the purposes ofcommuniction and a means of teaching Therefore, students need to beequiped on how to learn

English and sense of self-learning and self- trainging So the students willlearn self-discipline Raising capital has accumulated experience( vocabulary, grammar, …………) to imitation, reproduction, behaviorreseach and innovative behavior in social situations They said revealing theawareness and understanding of their outward verblly, through foreignlanguage articles

Thus,, foreign language teaching is essentially operational skills traing in theforms of commnication: listening, speaking, reading , and writing trough theenvironment with diverse situations of life This environment is mainly due

to lower teachers create communication situations and students to findappropriate behavior.

At the lower grade students are practicing delve into communicationactivities in their daily lives, they closely contact daily routine For thegrade 9th students , They focus more on natural activities and larger

In speaking skill lesson of Unit 1 “ A visit from a penpal” They are

training communication skills with a new friend abroad, from the greetingsand introduction themslves politely, “ Please to meet you Let me introducemyself.” O the introduction of the country and the people of Viet Nam andlearn about the land and people of Malysia Once more they are practicescommunication skills, at the end of the lesson , students act as Maryam andother students create the dialouges freely with the theme “ Making friends”,has created the habit of using English to communicate They have both theopportuniy to deepenunderstanding of places and nice tradition of the twocountries Viet Nam and Malaysia After the lesson , it is the writing lesson.They can conclude the knowledge from the speaking lesson to express inwords

Unit 2: “Clothing” equips the children vocabulary of clothing they wear in

different places , different time In speaking skill lesson, the students canexpress their opinions and answer the questions related to the topic that theyare studying This topic will attract more students, especially youngerstudents tend to fashion:

+ What do you ususally wear on the weekends ?

+ Why do you usually wear these / those clothes?

+ What are your favourite types of clothing? Why?

+ What color suits you? Why ?

+ Do you like to wear uniforms ? Why ?

+ What do you usually wear on Tet holiday? / on your birthday?/ on yoursister’s or your brother’s wedding day ?

+ Do you want to be a fashion designer in the future? If yes, say why?

So on ……

In Unit 4 : “ Learing a foreign language” , they ask and answer about the

information in the contest “Oral” or persuade others to participate inactivities with them

Communication skills are always trained regularly in lessons of the units

b) Method 2: Organise education, skills training Cognitive behavioral adjustment

Secondary students are at the age of puberty, so the psychological andphysical developments have several complications They want to expressthemselves as adults but the behavior , the gestures so much of a child isvery superficial and elated, sometimes without understanding theconsequences that they themselves cause So if adults donot timelyorientation, shape it may lead to unnecessary mistakes As the teacher, theconcern , anxiety,especially with the current situation with the social andeconomic development of society has changed people’s lives , besides thepositive expression also entails social ills are bad every hour, every minuteaffecting students Especially the development of information technology tothe black sites are everywhere on the Internet, books, rampant pornography,high degree of resonance in the student environment has brought seriousconsequences for the society

To train students self- training skills to adjust perceptions, their behaviorthrough access to Information Technology, I have carried out the followingsteps:

+ When teaching reading information “Read” in Unit 5 I used the pictures to introduce the Internet as follow:

- Can you use computers?

- What subjects help you to use computers?

- Have you ever used the Internet?

- Do you find the Internet useful?

- What do you use the Internet for?

- What are the advantages and the disadvantages of the Internet?

- Do you think the Internet cost you much?

- Do you think the Internet takes you much time?

- ………

By answering these questions , the students can understand the positives andnegatives of the Internet and from that I trained my students for skills theself- adjust their perceptions about the Internet, how to use the Internet topromote the efficiency of the internet in learning and in life After this class,students are etched deeper knowledge, apply the vocabulary, sentencepatterns learned in reading, They listed words and phrases to the topics saidbenefits and harms of the Internet to train traffic next Through practicespeaking part ( pre- writing) is that they can be aware of what is detrimental

to avoid ourselves, or minimize it to the maximum These tips are taught in

an appropriate use according to the students’ level The time of theseactivities and changes are in a flexible manner in order not to cause boringlesson : Brainstorming or networks using …

Through this writing lesson I’ ve also trained for the skills , students canexpress their opinions about the specific issues.

In the end of the writing, I ask students to apply skills to work in groups todiscuss the disadvantages of the internet, thereby we can determine the use

of the Internet effectively and also instruct them to use games of all kinds touse English while playing , learning and to ensure a reaonable time Afterschool , I pick out afew good students to write on the subject and block upthe forum by the host of gifted students under the guidance of teacher Fromthese activities, I help the students practice the skill cognitive self regulation,their behavior through access to Information Technology ( the EnglishOlympic competitions and Math through Internet for grade 9)

c Method 3: Organize education, skill training exercise and health protection.

Everyone knows that health is an invaluable asset, health is everything Sohaving a good health and protecting it are not easy at all Our healthdepends on very simple things It is educating a scientific lifestyle , knowinghow to protect the environment and preseving facilities, energy saving.Today this problem becomes even more urgent than ever Human life is nowchanging rapidly in each moment one Without a good education andtraning, the current generation, the next generation will be hard to adapt tolife, facing many problems:

* The problem of waste and insatiable:

Human mercilessly exploit resources such as land , minerals, rivers,mountains, gray matter and labor Daily and hourly,people are also usingthem indiscriminately, without much thought and without caution Sincethen, the consequences of which man has and will suffer enormous A pricethat noone else is paying the progency of us.

In the role of teacher, I become a conservationist who indicate what people

are doing today and lead them to the idea of saving through Unit 7 “ Saving

energy”.

From the first lesson thanks to the available paintings in the ( Gettingstarted) , I introduce them to observe the pictures, ask questions , studentsrespond and clarify the situations the pictures contain the waste resources

- What happen to the faucets ?

- Is the TV on ? Who is watching TV?

- Is the radio on / Who is listening to the radio?

- Is the light still burning ?

The following suggested questions are used to talk about how to handle theabove situations:

+ What should we do to save electricity / water?

+ Should we turn on the TV / radio / lights/ faucets if we don’t use them ?+ Do you think energy is never exhausted?

From the answers to handle the situations of students, naturally they takepart in the protection and saving natural resources as well as national energyresources in which they usually do it at home These ideas will also wakechildren who never or no sense of protection and saving energy resources

To attract those who are not interested in this issue, I continue to give outreal questions about their school and class:

+ Should we turn off the lights , the fans at recess ?
