A INTRODUCTION

I Reasons to Experience initiative:

As we all know, education is a big issue that has always been of great concern to the whole society, especially the young generation Educational quality plays a very important role in the requirements of the cause of national renewal Our country is on the way to industrialization and modernization, step by step implementation of the target: "Rich people, strong country, social justic, democracy, civilization." To achieve this goal, it is necessary to train a knowledgeable, healthy, idealized and confident human resource in the bright future of the country Therefore, the education and training development strategy

is always considered and prioritized as investment priority With that spirit, the Party and State as well as the Ministry of Education and Training has issued many resolutions, directives and documents to guide, guide and implement the renovation of the General Education Program, renovation of textbooks and renovation of teaching-learning methods at all levels

Over the years, a growing number of students are becoming more diverse

in their classes Therefore, how can all these students help students maximize their lectures, especially for the weak student, which is a problem for every teacher There is a difference between the ability of the students, the cognitive style, health compared to other students These students should be considered with their inherent characteristics in order to find ways to guide their children to the highest results, to prevent them from falling into constant difficulties in their studies That is what I personally want to exchange, share, learn from colleagues

to help students weak

The problem of the current students is always concerned about the whole society and find solutions to overcome this situation In order to develop a comprehensive education of the country, the teacher not only teaches but also learns methods to promote students' activeness and lower the rate of weak students The problem is also difficult for many teachers On the other hand, this

is to contribute to the development of a modern teaching style and teaching in each teacher, which will help students develop new thinking in the acquisition of knowledge

English language teaching and learning also have many issues to consider This

is a subject that most pupils think is a difficult subject, and the learning conditions are most difficult for children in rural areas, students also do not see the importance The importance of learning English for the future should not spend much time investing in the subject in earnest This has led to the situation

of students in the subject is still relatively high proportion As a teacher teaching English, what should I do for weak students in English?

From the fact of teaching English in Dinh Chuong Duong high school - Hau Loc district - a semi-public school was established in 1998 and has just been

transferred to the public since 2010: The rate of weak students in English is very high, even these classes are from 35% to 50% Therefore, myself and my comrades in the English as well as at school often have to teach classes with many weak students As a result, many students are not only progressing, they are weaker, they have to retake them, they have to be retired and many of them have to leave the school So, I think finding the cause and having this is a great way for students to move up to the required level and achieve higher results in general and English in particular If we do this we will gradually improve the quality of teaching in general and English in particular, and will make them love

to study, love to go to school, love school love class and especially will reduce more dropouts

For many years, I have always thought of causes and solutions, I applied them

to my teaching practice and communicated in the professional group so that other comrades could study In the academic year 2016 - 2017, I was assigned to teach English classes in 11B6, 12A2, 12A6, which are three of the classes with the weakest number 12 students, many students in class are weak in all subjects, including English

For the reasons above, right from the beginning of the school year, I always hope that the number of students who are interested in learning, love study and especially enjoy learning English And this is also the reason for this year I chose

the topic " Some experiences in helping the weak students in English of grade 11B6, 12A2, 12A6 at Dinh Chuong Duong high school" to write.

II The purpose of the initiative Experience:

- Helping students with weakness to reinforce basic knowledge of English, to grasp the knowledge gap from the lower classes

- Help students improve their sense of self-learning, self-learning habits, confidence in learning, gradually improving themselves

- Contribute to improve the quality of comprehensive education, improve the quality of teaching English 12 and quality of national high school graduation exam

III The basis of the initiative and the object of experience:

- Study on some experiences in weak pupils' tutoring work at Dinh Chuong Duong high school - Hau Loc district - Thanh Hoa province, especially the students of grade 11B6,12A2, 12A6

- Research to find suitable methods and procedures to improve the quality of English for students of Dinh Chuong Duong High School

IV Research Methodology:

- Method of document study

- Experimental method

- Method of direct exchange

- Method of statistical data, comparison comparison

B CONTENT

I Rationale:

Today English is the international language spoken in most countries in the world in the process of communication and exchange in many fields Recognizing that importance, the Ministry of Education and Training has reformed English communication textbooks in the direction of communication focused on teaching students four skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing Aim for future generations to use English fluently As with all other subjects, English is followed by a full sequence of steps The teacher must always use effective methods to understand and study the subject in the most effective way However, learning foreign languages is more difficult than other subjects The curriculum and textbooks are innovative, but the difficulty is also higher, for the students who have lost the basics, it is difficult to keep up with the program Due to the uneven level of pupils, this has led to increasing student dissatisfaction Students who have good ability to acquire good progress quickly and have basic knowledge and skills Apply knowledge to practice Besides, there are still many students who try hard, but because they do not have appropriate learning methods, with their families are not directed, so they are easily lost direction not interested, neglected with subject Therefore, many children do not have the program, leading to the increasing rate of students, which is something that many teachers concern and concern Therefore, it is necessary to investigate and analyze the causes of their inability to find ways to guide them to achieve the maximum results, to avoid them falling into common difficulties directly in the learning process

The problem-solving method for students with weak subject aims to help students identify the content of basic knowledge, the focus was to learn exactly where in the classroom for some reason birth not yet captured Once students acquire and apply the knowledge in the unit, they become interested in the subject From there, they will define their own learning plan, self-study method, self-study, high self-esteem in cognitive thinking that will motivate students to progress

Improving knowledge for the weak student is a teacher who must find a way

to supplement the "gaps" of knowledge for the student (mostly basic knowledge and focus in each textbook lesson English) To fulfill this task, the teachers themselves need to accurately grasp and assess the level of knowledge gained in each student after each lesson to be able to get the tutoring plan

It is important for students to be fully self-conscious in their thinking and action, actively cooperating with the teacher, thinking carefully about the information they receive to "fill in the gaps in knowledge." and must always respond to knowledge in the most accurate and scientific way

In the context of this article, I would only like to present some objective and subjective reasons from teachers teaching subject matter that increase the rate of

students with weak and some specific solutions to teachers themselves teach directly to reduce the rate of weak students in English in high school today

II Current situation

Through my years of teaching English at a semi-public school, I would like to present and analyze the real and objective causes leading to weak student in learning Dinh Chuong Duong-Hau Loc High School in particular and high schools in general as follows:

1 On the school side

Dinh Chuong Duong High School was established in 1998, when it was newly established as a semi-public school of Hau Loc District, in 2010 the new school was transferred to the public Therefore, in the first 10 years of the school only the recruitment of students by the public schools in the District so the number of students only ensure the school in terms of quantity, And the morality is very low, so the number of students is 60-70% From 2010 up to now, the school has been officially recruited students, but since the school has no quality students, not create prestige in the parent's parents so the quality of enrollment is still low, about 35 - 50% are weak Besides, the school is located in Hau Loc District Town, the center of economic development and is also home of many games, net etc so much influence on learning and training the moral of the students

2 On the student side

- Students are not self-learning, not motivated learning, not determined to study, knowledge base from the bottom Many students are exhausted in learning, not keeping up with you, lacking of knowledge, skills, being frustrated with learning, being fear of learning The ability to pay attention and focus on lectures of teachers is not high, lazy to think, basic knowledge lower class, do not know how to promote their ability

- Students do not have scientific learning methods, most of them are passive learners, depend on the types of books to solve (copy work in notebooks but do not understand anything), rote learning, In the examination, spin and use documents

- Lazy students: Most students do not have time for self study, do not pay attention to studying, go home do not see the lesson, do not prepare the lesson, For a small part, they do not know the purpose of learning They just wait until the class, listen to the teacher lecture and then record the contents learned then

go home to learn "parrot learning" does not understand what that content says

- Students with learning disabilities in the small class: This is an undeniable fact with the current curriculum This can be attributed partly to the teacher's failure to properly assess student achievement

- Some students go to school erratically, but do not go to school, especially students are absent in the afternoon to gather at coffee shops etc

3 On the family side

- Most of the family working in agriculture or marine life face many economic difficulties, so they do not pay attention to their studies, just as their parents do

not have time to pay attention to studying of their children, a small number of parents in the area go to work far away so that their children stay home alone or with their grandparents for a long time Therefore, attention should be paid to their study and educational cooperation with the school and the teacher is very limited In addition, there are a large number of parents who do not really care, take care and urge their children to study, entrust to the school, teachers Some unhappy families also influence on their study

- In addition, some parents too pampered their children, too confident in their children, so lazy students to take leave to work alone parents also agreed to allow absenteeism, accidentally make students lazy, lose basic and then weakened gradually

4 On the teacher side

The reason students are weak is not only from the student but also from the teacher People often say: Have a good teacher, have a good student Today, in order to be able to perform well in teaching, teachers are required to constantly improve their professional skills However, here is not a teacher with a good education, good graduates are good teaching, but the most important thing is that the teacher must classify and understand the groups of students in the class to know which method of teaching is appropriate for each student and with each content knowledge Throughout the process of self-realization, there is still a small part of teachers not paying attention to students, especially students are weak Undaunted to explore many new teaching methods to stimulate positive, active students Not really interested in finding out the family situation and emotional feelings as well as the problems, anxiety in the interior has affected the results of each student to bring the children to weak condition

5 The social environment:

- The socio-economic situation in the locality is generally up but unstable, seasonal The income of the people is mainly based on agricultural crops, livestock breeds, many families have to work away or have relatives to export labor etc This has caused psychological boredom, anxiety sometimes also give students the impression that they do not need to learn a comfortable life, well afforded

- The school's surroundings are more and more complex, more and more eateries, entertainment places such as the net etc create temptations to attract students to eat, drop out of school, spend money to steal property and fight

III Implementation solutions:

General measures:

1 Teachers build a friendly learning environment:

Teacher friendliness is a prerequisite for effective measures Through gestures, words, eyes, smile from the teacher creates a sense of security in the students so that they can express their learning difficulties in their own lives Teachers always make the classroom atmosphere comfortable do not scold or use

words of disrespect for the children, do not let the students feel afraid of the teacher but let the students love and respect more teachers

In addition, the teacher must give them positive feedback, such as the teacher should praise instead of denigrate, teachers find the work that they complete even small things to praise the children .For example: call poor students to read easy words or easy conversations and then after the teacher says

"Very Good" or "Progress, active participation in learning activities"

2 Teachers classify students:

Teachers should consider and classify the weakest students with their inherent characteristics in order to select appropriate measures to suit their individual characteristics Some common problems in children are: ability to acquire articles, poor health, addiction games, lazy school, lack of confidence, shy

During the design of the lecture, the teacher should consider the objectives and skill to enable the student to be properly strengthened and to practice appropriately In this lesson, the student needs to be differentiated into each activity, with simple questions and simple exercises to facilitate the students' opportunity to participate in the presentation Help them find their true place in the classroom

I based on the previous year’s English mark, the grade of the yearly quality survey, the expression in the learning process in the classroom and the present grade etc to classify students into the following groups:

Group 1: Students have a general lack of knowledge, no or very low ability Group 2: Conscious learning, ability to absorb post but slower than normal students

Group 3: Basic knowledge, sense of learning but not the right learning method Group 4: Students do not care, ignore learning, lazy students

3 Educating the students' awareness of learning:

Teachers must educate the student's awareness of learning and the importance of English in the society as well as in life thereby giving students an interest in learning, which will help students to reach out to people on For example, in each lesson, teachers should relate a lot of knowledge to the students

in order to see the application and importance of English in practice From here, they will be interested in exploring knowledge

Teachers must investigate each student's situation in terms of family circumstances and routines, advise students on attitudes, organize games that incorporate the education of students in the sense of learning well and overcome difficulties in learning, making them aware of the importance of learning At the same time, teachers work with families to educate students' sense of learning As there are now some parents who are constrained to their children's education, some parents are not interested in their children's learning, both of which result

in the quality of their learning is not high Teachers themselves need to analyze

in order for parents to show proper care Receive the attention of the family and teachers will give students the motivation, the will to strive

4 Poor attendance:

From the beginning of the year teachers have to check the quality of the students Note to check for all four skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing Knowledge of the program in the lower class, subject to moderate, not too hard Through the results of the survey early in the year to help teachers know the number of students weak and weak skills in any

Make a list of weak students and pay special attention to these students during each lesson, as you often call them to answer questions, praise them for the correct answer

Analyze the causes from where, from which to take appropriate and effective remedies

Follow up the teacher's planning to help the poor student outside the regular school hours

In regular lessons, teachers also have to take care of the students during the lesson:

+ Students with weak vocabulary:

Most of them do not know how to learn vocabulary, do not know form of the word, learn without remembering clearly, or remember meaning without the word For students in this group, ask them to learn three new vocabulary each day In the first 15 minutes, I asked the staff and some of the best students in the class to check these vocabulary weaknesses and report the results to me On the next day of tutoring, will check all the vocabulary that asked the students to study for a week To do so, for a student who subject study vocabulary hard soon the amount of vocabulary in their memory will be greatly increased

+ Students with weak reading skills:

Teachers must plan to teach them in reading skills There are many ways to teach children to perfect this skill For example, in the reading skills section, the teacher teaches normally, to read the teacher's instructions to the children, and tell them to read the text and the teacher can help them with the difficult words they have read gradually students will read and improve gradually In the reading section to find out also the weak students join the normal but just ask easy questions and close to the children to answer them

+ Students with weak writing skills:

In the classroom, students do not write articles on demand or do not know how to write simple sentences When teachers teach writing skills, it is important

to pay attention to these children For example, when the teacher makes a request and explains the outline of the article, for the weak student the teacher should give the student a sample for the student to write or asks them to write a few key points Written with the help of the teacher, the weak student will get used gradually and their writing skills are gradually improved

+ Students grammar weakness:

In one class, we must allow all children to work despite the weak student or good student in many ways to engage them in learning activities, avoiding the teacher situation so that the students are out of the way For example, in the Language Focus lesson, the teacher assigns a lesson to each student, the hard exercise is good enough for the students, the assignments require the average student, the easy task for the weak student Since then, all the students in the class have been practicing so they are very interested in learning

Assignment of good students to help weak students in schools with supervision and inspection of teachers Organize the children to set up learning groups, emulate groups that include weak students Encourage students to make timely progress

5 Teachers actively innovate teaching methods appropriate to each lecture, each unit of knowledge for each group of students.

Innovative teaching methods are the change from the method which students pass passive knowledge from the teacher to the way students find their own knowledge That is, ask students to self-study, self-discovery, self-discovery according to the direction, leading the teacher, students to work more Before that, the teacher must constantly research, explore, exploit, build activities, apply, use the combination of teaching methods to suit each type, subjects to build students' direction to take initiative and creativity

However, for weak students, sometimes during the implementation of activities, organize students to study in groups, discussing counterparts

For example: Students who have weak learning, limited ability to absorb, analyze, and conclude that when assigned by a teacher to a group of better students, the weaker student will passively, confidently giving opinions to the classmates will better represent the group, so weaker students do not want to work and will be weaker In addition, this innovative approach requires students

to self-discipline, self-study, which weak students are very limited in this capacity

Therefore, in my opinion, the innovation method, especially the method of operation and group discussion, is not applicable to all articles, but should be applied to easy-to-understand lessons As for the important articles, the premise for the following lessons should not be

6 Assignment of homework: This is a very important measure for the weak

students

+ In each week I usually give the student some knowledge that the student is bad at and a moderate amount of homework However, it should be noted that

the knowledge and homework assignments must match with the weak student groups above

+ In the lessons I often ask students to learn and solve their homework, on the one hand to show interest, reminders and to create communication openings that

do not hesitate On the other hand, the children have the opportunity to ask teachers where they are stuck, do not understand

By the end of the week I check the performance of my task, collect the items to mark and take the appropriate time to show the students the wrong mistakes (This is a factor to put on poor student assessment )

7 Innovative methods of student assessment

In my opinion, this student objected to the assessment of the children who play

a very important role in making them progressive or weaker in the process of teaching these classes when assessing them Please note:

For inspection:

+ The question system should be simple, easy to understand

+ The content of questions should be close to the core knowledge in the lesson

In the tests should combine both forms of muti- choice and self-congratulation, the system of questions and exercises should fit well with this object

+ Must mark seriously, find the correct places that these students do to give points to motivate

+ Comments on the test of these students are very important: must praise a lot of criticism and point out the wrong focus for students

+ When paying homage, take time to praise the class and correct this student for the most specific mistakes to correct them

8 For student performance evaluation:

When evaluating this student, I always incorporate many aspects in the learning process of children such as:

+ Through grades they achieve in oral tests, 15 minutes, 45 minutes and semester

+ Through the course of learning subjects in the semester: attitude, motivation

to change? What is the task assigned to get home (exercises, notes )? The sense

of learning in the classroom such as post construction, activity and teamwork

9 Facilitators work closely with educational forces inside and outside the school

+ I often talk with my head teacher and other teachers to get more information about the students and also provide information for the teacher to manage the students more closely, timely detection of the decline of students From there, the head teacher contacts the parents, coordinating student education in a timely manner

+ Besides, I usually apply for time to comrades in the same group to study and test their methods and exchange to learn more about the learning situation of other classes in general to keep up Time to adjust their measures and methods accordingly

+ I also regularly talk with the head of the school to recommend to the school

to provide extra help for the underprivileged students outside the regular school hours in order to enable them to keep up with the program, Student learning quality

* Specific solutions

I am based on the above measures to provide specific measures appropriate to each group of students as follows:

- For group 1: Students have no general knowledge base, no or very low

ability to learn (we say "Students lose root")

Since Dinh Chuong Duong High School - Hau Loc District - a semi-public school was established in 1998 and has just been transferred to the public since 2010: The rate of weak students is very high, even the number of students this school from 35% to 50% Therefore, the weak students in group 1 are the majority

Some specific solutions as follows:

+ When developing the new lesson, identify the core knowledge, background knowledge (basic knowledge, knowledge of this newly solved the questions and exercises) in the lesson to be provided for students And after a part of it I usually collate this knowledge into a corner of the board, after class I have all this basic knowledge on the corner of the board to consolidate and inscribe for the students, for the weak student I only need to grasp these basic ideas In particular, for the weak student, I often attach importance to the solidity of knowledge and skills rather than pursuing the goal of extending knowledge When instructing students to practice, I pay special attention to the following: For students who are weak, they should only be asked to do basic forms of exercise in the form of awareness, understand or use

Then I gave the modeling tutorials, which should now be open to asking students to identify the direction and especially the question system to address the weaknesses of this group presented above

After seeing the students basically do all the work, I ask the students to stand at the presentation, each step is a student for group to focus on During the course

of doing exercise, I emphasize the student's place or mistake, should be avoided When they have done the work I always praise the individual and group of students, and also give high marks to encourage Be aware that if they do
