2.THE CONTENT

2.1 Basis for agument of the experience

* Good points

- Although there are objective conditions and subjective influencesdirectly in the teaching process, but I have tried to find ways to overcome,overcoming the difficulties ahead, gradually improve the quality of teaching andlearning English in school Especially further improve the efficiency of teachingEnglish Listening skills to meet the goals and objectives of teaching English atthe junior high schools according to the textbook program innovationDepartment of Education and Training

Survey results as follows: (from 10/09/2017)

2.3 Experience initiative or solutions to solve the problem

- Prepare plans for an English listening lesson.

+ Careful study of textbooks, teachers' books, reference books will helpteachers organize, control information in English Listening in the right center ofgravity of the lectures Towards making teachers assigned time for step dadteaching, learning activities scientifically and logically

+ Research purpose and requirements of the lesson:

- The purpose of the lesson and ask the ultimate destination where bothteachers and students need to achieve the following lessons learned

- For Advanced Listening skills are taught in English, the commonpurpose and requirements of the Listening lesson is to help students developgood practice and skills: Listening (Listen) - Speaking (Talking) - Reading(Reading) - Writing (Writing) During this process, the teaching and learning ofteachers and students to the most special emphasis listening skills After youfinish listening, students can listen to understand the main content, the best of allthe listening and done some homework requirements or language

+ Good choice and flexibility to coordinate the technical Listening(Listening Techniques) a scientific and rational way Choosing hear teachingtechniques must be determined on the basis of content, hear the request of thelessons that characteristics and capabilities of students English classes there, andthe stages in the process of teaching listening includes 3 phases: Phase heardbefore (pre - listening), while listening phase (while - Listening), and theexercise period (Post - listening) During each phase of the lesson in Englishlistening skills they have the technical skills to teach listening appropriate toeach time period

- Teachers need to design carefully the prepared lesson plans classscientific and reasonable

- Teachers need a clear plan of activities for teaching and active learningactivities of students, time distribution, and a science fair for the learningactivity, the requirements of each exercise, the answers of each student

- Exchange and discussion of teaching methods will be used in lessons

Of more effective teaching English skills, listening skills will be moresuccessful and achieve greater efficiency if the plans are given teaching

exchange and discussion with colleagues before teaching Doing this not onlygives the more positive results but also help to teach listening skills as well

as speaking - Reading - Writing skills also achieved many positive results

*To the students

- Teachers ask students to prepare for upcoming classes by:

+ Teachers suggest the system of questions for upcoming lessons theylearned so that students have time to prepare lessons, learn, study materialsrelated to the upcoming lessons

+ Ask students to do some exercises related to lesson content to hear thatlesson the other skills necessary to bring positive results likewise

+ To encourage and motivate students confident, creative initiative raisedmany questions, many issues related to the lesson

b Perform better teaching listening process

- For a lesson in grammar or vocabulary, usually in the course of thelesson is composed of 3 phases Presentation - Practice – Production And theprocess of a lesson in English Listening skills also include 3 phase Pre -Listening section, while – Listening, post - Listening This teaching process notonly helps students master the lessons, but also help them to use goodcommunication skills in English daily, in the talk about life and work and study.But the main problem is to identify teachers clearly, definitely, precise goals andrequirements of each specific lesson to hear from that orientation for schoolstudents perform well the task of the central lessons of the next stage

* Pre – Listening

(True / False Prediction , Open Prediction , Ordering , Pre - questions)

- This is the first stage of orientation to help students think about thesubject or situation or content before students to listen

- The students in class had not seen the text before or done anypreparation for listening Here you see the teaching goals in this pre-listeningphase:

+ To activate the students' schema and vocabulary related to the topic.+ To form some preliminary assumptions about the content of the text.+ To pose some questions that could provide them with a reason forlistening For example, I asked "do you think the Pope comes to the US often?"and the students said that they didn't know, so I said "Ok, we will see"

+ Notice here how the teacher uses the chalkboard to write basicvocabulary and ideas given by the students Use of the board provides visualreinforcement for ideas and vocabulary items presented by the students duringall phases of listening

+ Notice also how the teacher asked a student to correct her pronunciation

of the word After the student finished her sentence, the teacher pointed to his

throat indicating the need for the student to pronounce the word correctly The

student repeated the word twice and was able to pronounce it correctly on herthird try Attention to pronunciation should be constant in class activities andcan usually be done through self correction

+ Notice also the phrases the teacher uses to provide positivereinforcement to students Such reinforcement is important to build selfconfidence in all class activities but especially when doing listening activities

+ Finally teachers make it clear to students that they will be heard manytimes, and guidance requirements, specific tasks for the students to hear

- Listening" on the actual communicative situations, have the same meaning inthe classroom immediately upon hearing, students need to do some exercisessuch as reporting to the class or in team on the results after listening exercises,and other students listen to comments, or post treatment results of their work foryou

- Teachers need to incorporate good teaching methods, and other skills tohelp students develop, extended listening as: Recall the story, write it up,discussion
