Nowadays, education has been positively changed to meet the needs of an

open economy policy Primary education plays an important role in laying thegroundwork for developing personality of students Teaching English in primaryschool as well as other disciplines provides much initial knowledge, awareness ofthe English Therefore, improving the quality of education in general and quality ofthe subject English in particular is one of the problems which is concerned And it isespecially important for students who are in elementary - beginners access to foreignlanguage

Teaching English in primary schools helps children improve the capacity ofusing English simple words The basic English skills helps students develop theirthought as well as give them new ideas Moreover, the students have many chances

to get emotional health and form the good qualities by themselves

I do not know how to help students have a rich vocabulary as well as createtheir passion for English courses? That's a question which I always pose after eachlesson That is why I have been searching, reading and testing new ways tocontribute to innovative methods of learning English in primary school As a result,

We can enhance the coordination of individual activities with academic exchanges

Learning vocabulary methods through pictures, music let the students

learn- play, play- fun during their lessons, it can make them be able to rememberand practice what they have learnt effectively Moreover, the songs can helpchildren improve their listening skills and pronunciation, besides that it also helpsthem improve their speaking skills The songs are considered as a useful tool inlearning vocabularies, sentence structures And perhaps the biggest benefit of usingsongs to teach is that brings joy to children The fun is an important part of learning

a new language, the songs makes school become more interesting

Researchers believe that music potentially profound mark on our brains, "thesong can affect both the short and long term memory", "you can’t touch music,music can touch you"

For the above reasons, I have decided to choose the topic:"Using video, music

to excite and reinforce knowledge in learning English in grade 3.”

2 Researching purposes:

Using videotapes, music lessons helps English classes to become moreinteresting, effective In addition, It does not put pressure and tension on ourstudents Otherwise, It gives the student so much excitement and enthusiastic inevery lesson As a result it promotes children’s creative ability Therefore, thestudents not only have a plenty of vocabularies but also be able to make differentsentences

3 Research subjects:

- Students in grade 3 in … primary school

4 Method of research:

In this topic, I used the following methodology:

- Theoretical research methods

- Investigation, observation method

- Experimental teaching methods

- Method of summarizing lessons learned

Part II:The content experience initiatives

2.1 Theoretical bases of experiences initiatives :

The teacher's task is to find out the best ways to organize activities which are inthe textbook so that the students can get basic knowledge in their grade The newmothods have shown that the role of teachers is largely controlled, leads students inactive learning activities and actively in class (teacher is the instructor and academicinstitutions) The teacher have to make students interested in learning and becomefond of their lessons This is not a new problem, but not easy to implement How dostudents love English courses? How English became the subject be respectedstudents like other subjects, is the problem posed to each teacher every school.Therefore in the framework of this initiative experience I raise the issue and initiallyproposed measures to improve the quality of English lessons and help studentsenjoying this course

My research project is based on the golden rules when teaching English for children in primary schools such as:

- Play more than teach.

It is said it is the method of "teaching without teaching" While the teacher is

in the class, They don't have to follow their teaching plans that they have prepared.The teachers are free to organize plentiful and effective activities during theirlessons These activities are mostly controlled by students While they are in thegames, Their teacher is considered as an advisor

- Students need images than theory.

The activities used by pictures, games, music, painting, theater That helpschildren use English with a natural way The various ones will bring them the bestway to self study Additionally, their own style is the foundation of quality andeffectiveness of learning English for children

- Listening, speaking more than writing:

By listening to the video images are the songs, chants or even films, help thestudennts to imitate the pronunciation, intonation standards Speaking skills are easy

to learn and imitate in learning foreign languages And when it is, the children hasgradually built up confidence sentiment in using English In addition, focusing onspeaking skills they also need to correct pronunciation This depends greatly onteachers, teachers help children correct pronunciation easy One drawback toteaching English for children cannot pronounce correctly, this program is tostrengthen the pronunciation through tapes, television, music

- Learning more specific curriculum:

The use of high-tech devices such as music players, phones, TV or computerand the included software will help accelerate the capture language

- Imitating than grammar.

Imitation will help students a lots in developing the child's pronunciation.Students close to the natives

- More fun for points.

Typically, in our country after each lesson parents often ask them "how manypoints you have today ” more than asking them “how do you feel at school”.Because of this, children have to pay attention to get a high score without playing

funnily

- Need to combine with their parents at home :

Parents should create an environment for children in the English language.The loving of parents helps children learning English to learn well and makeemotional return home sticking Planning a method for children learn Englishcorrectly and help children to learn more effectively Nowadays, informationtechnology is developing so parents can guide their children learning English athome by taking part in online courses, or watching programs on TV or youtube Besides, their parents regularly exchange with their teacher so that they can achievethe best results

2.2 Status of the problem:

Through years of teaching, There are many advantages and some significantdifficulties in teaching English

2.2.1 Advantages:

a Subjective factors have a positive influence in the topics:

- I have been teaching English for many years and spent much timeresearching, vocational love for kids,

- Personally, I always take the time to explore, research, reference materials,teaching methods, teaching forms to suit each lesson content

- I have attended many courses of English

b Objective factors positively affecting the subject:

- Managing board has the proper depth encouragement and the help of

colleagues at the same time with the cooperation of the parents in time

- Students are gaining a more positive outlook for this course and the majority

of the children are keen on learning

- Since joining group activities Cluster English, I get a lot of supporting and

learning from peers During the group meetings, I often talk to colleagues to formeffective teaching

The new program focuses on listening and speaking skills, but new skillsstudents are exposed to English in the first studying

This has caused psychological insecurities, timid, passive with students.These students are afraid when they said, not boldly asked the teacher about theproblem that they do not understand

Environment to practice speaking and listening skills through dailycommunication is limited, so easy to forget the knowledge students

In addition, a student's parents department undetermined purpose foreignlanguage learning for children Also the communication on the importance oflanguage learning is weak, the collaboration between the school and parents islimited because most of their parents are farmers

c For schools and teachers :

Schools do not have special rooms for teaching English, the facilities forteaching not guaranteed: audio visual, not to serve in document, not a rich referencebooks Overall equipment for the teaching of English compare the program contentand requirements of the subjects are poor

Currently, teachers have to spend time on the system of records and books, inaddition to taking a lot of competitions in various fields so spending time inwriting and researching articles documents used for longer-term teaching arelimited

2.2.3 The exploration, survey before adopting initiatives:

Class 3 B: 25 students

students

percent

1 The number of students likes their English lesson 6 24

2 The number of students can remember the words

they have learnt for the following lesson

3 The number of students feel confident in learning 7 28

4 The number of students is afraid of joining

Utensils for teaching include: computers, projectors, speakers, disks

Before teaching, teachers must study the lesson content to prepare lessons tosuit the lesson and its content must be used in a radical way, lessons that will bemore effective There is such a valuable new lessons to students and learn to exploitbetter knowledge on the basis of exchange observations to inculcate knowledgegroup

Using videos, vivid images like the songs, chants, cartoons … for the teaching

of English contribute to learn and absorb knowledge easier, create comfort forstudents Using this method of teaching, the teaching role is to direct and masterstudents in observing and actively explore research topics, as well as knowledge ofnew lessons, create excitement and stimulation curious and eager to learn instudents After the instructor's audio-visual to guide students towards building andthe main content, the focus of all knowledge

Therefore, for teachers to prepare teaching materials is an important issue, it

is critical to success for both lessons and teaching process, teachers need to planresearch programs in preparation utensils

2.3.2 Methods used utensils:

To promote the use of best video combinations and flexibility needed to usesome of the following basic methods:

- Method entire physical responses (Total Physical Response - TPR) helps

students with a comprehensive response based movements the link betweenlanguage and natural action, this approach helps students to think and rememberlonger

- Method functionality (Functional Approach - FA) emphasizes the ability

to use language in the sample sentences in context, specific situations andappropriate

- Methods of communication: considered the language used in the classroom

have to be notified to exchange ideas and feelings between teachers - students andstudents with students

- Methods hear - say (Audio - lingual Approach - ALA) emphasizes the

ability pronunciation

Therefore teachers should:

- Increase the use of English in the classroom as a main language in English(the salutation, visits, orders ) to give them the habit to hear and understand

- More attention to the use of English as a medium of communication reallyprecise towards phonetic and intonation

- Encourage students use English more often

- Prepare a variety of activities to suit different objects

- Provide students with these simples, easy to remember, easy to use

Teachers can use pictures, real objects, gestures, speech or action to help studentslink between sound, voice recordings or own teachers This way teachers can inspireand direct their attention to the study, while the association of memories andremember what is heard
