Trang 2A: INTRODUCTION
I REASON FOR STUDY :
We all know English is the most popular language in the world, and also the path tothe process of international integration Knowing the importance of this language,Ministry of education and training has chosen English as the main subject at schools,and is one of three high school graduation exam required So every student at highschool should have a certain level of English to prepare for exams and aftergraduating they can communicate in simple constant level
To do this we are constantly innovating teaching methods to achieve high results forEnglish in particular and other subjects in general This practice contributessignificantly to future success
Teaching in a positive direction is specified by many different methods, in whichthe use of suitable handouts in teaching is a method of bringing high efficiency Buthow to use handouts the most effective learning in order to achieve educational goals
as well as to constantly improve the quality of English teaching hours is a problemthat the English teachers have thought about
English textbooks as well as other books have made innovation since 2006 and haschanged in both form and content The content of the lessons varied and richer, morebeautiful forms and vivid images; however the lessons are longer and more difficult.This is both advantages and disadvantages for teachers in the teaching process
Therefore, besides good knowledge, teachers need to be creative in the teachingprocess to create lessons gentle, effective, attracting the attention of students inlearning to help them achieve high results in their class
Because of the reasons above I chose the theme: "Use handouts in learning andteaching English at Nguyen Xuan Nguyen High School" in the hope that I can helpstudents acquire the lesson’s content the most effectively
II PRACTICAL BASIS
Handouts can be used in most of the lessons: Reading – speaking Listening Writing - Language focus It has a great effect in pairworks and groupworks, thathelps give students the opportunity to practice speaking more
*With Reading: Reading Handouts are often used as Reading Adaptation inresponse to questions or provide new words in Before you read
*With Speaking: Handouts are used to provide more new words, new structures forstudents to practice
* With Listening: Commonly applied to all long and difficult lessons to hear.Teachers use the handouts as a listening adaptation to suit each student
*With Writing: Handouts are used for writings that textbooks do not providespecific questions
Trang 3*With Language focus: Handouts are great help for teachers who want to adjust theexercises in the textbook to suit the level of the students in the class or when theywant to provide additional exercises for students to practice.
-Handouts help teachers actively prepared the lessons which is suitable for eachstudent, help students more actively and more positively in the learning process -Handouts can also make a small change from textbook, but it forces students tolearn, to think Gradually,it will give students the habit of "self-reading"
III- PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
- Helping teachers adjust the lesson contents appropriately to the students
- Helping the students to practice the tasks in the textbook in the most efficientway
- Providing students more new words and creating the habit of reading all theinformation before doing tasks
IV RESEARCH OBJECTS
Students in classes: 10B4, 10B5, 10B8; 12A1; 12A4
Nguyen Xuan Nguyen High School
V- METHODOLOGY
1- Oservasion: Explore the research by visiting colleagues’ classes
2- Exchange and discussion: After the visiting periods of colleagues, my colleaguesand I discussed and exchanged the problems that appear in the lessons
3- Experimental methods: Teachers conducted experiments teach each specificpurpose required some specific grammar lessons
4- Methods of investigation: Teachers ask questions to check and evaluate thecontent held by students
Trang 4B- DEVELOPMENT I- General definitions.
2-Why should I use handouts in teaching English?
As presented above, handout is one of the means of specific teaching so using handout in teaching and learning English can raise the result of learning and teaching Using handouts is a good way to improve students’ skills
II The situation before the implementation of the subject:
During the first lessons of textbooks 10, 11,12, although ourteachers and students are trying our best, we are hardly able to ensure adequatecontent regulations Moreover, students in Nguyen Xuan Nguyen high schoolgenerally didn’t have the good initiative marks, and most of them live in the coastalregions, they don’t have much chance to study and practice English They find it toodifficult to learn English so while in lessons they are bored with taking part in theactivities that the textbook required, they often use keybooks to do the tasks inlessons Therefore, their learning result are not high
III The survey data before making the subject.
Class Total of
students
gifted students
Pretty students
Medium students
Poor students
Trang 5IV The implementation measures.
-With pretty students, the teacher asks students to use handouts
to find the meaning of new words ,find synonyms, antonyms, this will help students toincrease their vocabulary
Eg: English 12 - Unit 1 – Reading
Handout 1: Match a word in A with its meaning in B
1.join hands a go very fast to…
3.garbage c.work together to solve problems
4 household chores d.a very close- relationship
5.mischievous e work at home such as washing the dishes,
taking out the garbage6.close-knit f.enjoy playing tricks or annoying others
sometimes
-With average or bad students, teachers use handouts to provide the Vietnamesemeaning to the new words that appear in the passage
Example: English 10 - Unit 10 – Reading
Handout: Match each word in A with its Vietnamese meaning in B
A B
5.do the transplanting e.thửa ruộng
Trang 6-With this handout, teacher will let students work in pairs within 2 to 3 minutes
as the form teacher provides:
Example:
A: I think (1) …is / means (b)
B: I don’t think so / Not true I think it is…
-Then it will only take about 1 minute for teacher to test the and explain the meaning
of the new words if necessary
-In most parts “While you read”: There often have many questions, so it takes timefor students to finish Moreover, with their limited degree in knowledge, they will feelembarrassing to express their ideas, result in they will not have time enough to finishthe tasks This handout is used to adjust the content of the text and it also reduces thepressure on students when doing tasks
Example: Reading - Unit 1 - English 12
While you read: Task 2 - Reading Adaptation
Handout 1: Scan the text and put a tick in the right column
work father mother Children
Taking out the garbage
cooking
washing the dishes

2 The mother is always the first one to get up in the morning to
A make sure that her children leave home
B make sure that her children leave home for school

D make sure that her children leave home for school having breakfast and dressed
in suitable clothes
3 The daughter in the passage attempts

C to win a place at university D to win a place at nursing school
4 The children feel safe and secure in their family because
A they are veryclose-knit and supportive of one another
B they often share their feelings
Trang 7C whenever problems come up, they discuss them frankly and find solutionsquickly
D All are correct
*With Speaking:
Handout help provide the necessary data for students to practice
Example1: English 10 Unit 2 - Speaking - Task 2:
Handout: Building up questions from suggestions

Handout 3: INTERVIEW FORM

In general, handouts help students not only reproduce the use of questions of tenses
in English but also develop their speaking ability- an important skill for people tolearn foreign languages
*With Listening: Listening skills is a difficult skill to students, especially the lower
level children They often depend on good textbooks to get answers to answerquestions, so that the school studying has become no longer effective Handoutcontribute significant in helping the children try to listen to the tape and then they willhear better through Listening Adaptation The answers are available presented so thatchildren can pay attention to the lessons visually and aurally , gradually they will hearbetter
Example 4: English 12 - Unit 2 - Listening - Task 2
Handout: Listen again and choose the best answer
1 The most important thing the groom's family has to do on the wedding day is

*With Writing: Like Reading, handout help decrease the difficulty of the lessons.
Most of students have little vocabulary, they don’t also know the structures well sothey have many difficulties in the process of writing Teachers should provide themthe questions in particular through the handouts so that they can discuss their answers.Once they have a full answer and teacher correct their mistakes, they will easilycomplete their writing
Eample: English 11 - Unit 1 - Writing
Handout: Work in group: Discuss and answer these questions about one of your friends
1 What is your friend's name?
2 How old is he/ she?
3 Where does he/ she live?
4 When and where did you meet him/ her?
5 How tall is he/ she?
6 How does he/ she look like?
With Language Focus: Handout can be used as the Warm-up part for teacher to
introduce the descriptions of all new language or teacher will provide additionaltraining for students to practice
Eample1: English 12 - Unit 1 - Language Focus
Pronunciation: The pronunciation of the ending "s" ( Warm-up)
Handout 1: Odd one out

* Indeed, without preparing the lessons, we will be able to neither apply anycreative forms nor help our students acquire the lessons in the most effectively Tomake the lessons more attractive and more effective, teachers must prepare thelessons carefully before teaching
2-Prepare handout, instructions and handout for students.
2.1 Presentation handout:
*Depending on the tasks, handouts will be presented on a half sheet of A4 sided) or both sheets but the title should be clear, the answer must be exact andpresented suitablely to make it easy for student to understand
