1 Introduction

1.1 Reason for choosing topic.

From the end of the twentieth century, humanity has entered a new era ofscientific and technological revolution, which has made profound changes in allaspects of social life in the whole world And today, on the threshold of the 21stcentury, the world is standing at the threshold of civilization of informationtechnology, people not only know manual labor but must work with the mind, mustconquer the pinnacle of intelligence apply science to life Every aspect of social life

is linked to the advancement of science To achieve this, people must have theexchange of international friends In order to do so, we must know foreignlanguages and use it in a proficient manner That is why I find teaching andlearning foreign languages in schools, especially elementary schools, a necessityand a necessity One of the foreign languages currently taught and taught inVietnamese schools and primary schools is English Learning foreign languages today is not only to know but also to work, to exchange learning with internationalfriends.Today, English plays an important role in communication English isconsidered as a communication language globally Therefore, learning English isvery popular not only for those who are using foreign languages to communicate inthe workplace but it is also very necessary for primary school students, who willsoon be the owners the country As a passionate teacher, devoted to students, Ialways wondered how to find a way to teach students how to understand andabsorb good in the classroom In order to be so good, the teacher must be creativeand passionate about the profession, giving timely lessons to attract the attention ofstudents and to achieve high results Any language that communicates requires acertain vocabulary to communicate On the other hand, for elementary schoolchildren, deep learning of the nature of a language is too difficult We just ask them

to understand and know what "English" is What is the meaning of English inVietnamese? In order to have a good sentence and complete grammar first of allthey have to have rich vocabulary and how to use words properly And how to learnand remember the word? This is also the reason why I think and select the topic

"Some measures to improve the teaching of vocabulary for Grade 3 students"

aims to show how the children, the main subject Here is a third grade student,remember a better vocabulary

- Study relevant materials such as English textbooks 3, English handbooks ,articles by educational researchers on relevant issues Exchange ideas withcolleagues, especially those who have experience in teaching From which topropose useful solutions to improve the quality of teaching vocabulary for thirdgrade students.

- Investigate the actual situation of the problem

1.5 New points of experience initiative.

- Teachers make logical games, create classy atmosphere and give birth

Fun, turn every activity into an interesting game, easy to attract students

- Depending on the content of each lesson, teachers may apply some of these tips

in the Warm-up, Lead-in, Free-practice, Consolidation, sections or immediatelyafter teaching the vocabulary (check the student's vocabulary)

Apply some of these tips to help children not only remember from the classroombut also help them learn and review from home If you memorize and rememberwords, they will help you to be confident when you practice or communicate inEnglish Make them have a motive and sense of learning in this subject

2 Content of experience initiative.

2.1 Rationale.

In the Ministry of Education's 2008-2020 foreign language project, the specificgoal of the elementary English program is that after the end of the school year,students may:

- Have a vocabulary of 500-700 words including oral and written language

- Students can use vocabulary learned in simple communicative situations throughfour skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing The 3rd grade Englishlanguage course has 4 lessons a week, each unit has a lot of vocabulary andgrammar knowledge So learning vocabulary and vocabulary skills is a veryimportant factor in learning English

- Have minimum knowledge of the English language, and through English haveinitial knowledge about the country, culture and people of the English speakingcountries

- Have a positive attitude towards learning English

2.2 Realize the problem before applying the innovation initiative.

- In recent years, many students have achieved high scores in the exchange withtheir schools Specifically as you: Minh Thu, Nhat Vy, Tuan Anh

Teacher:

+ Through many years of experience and research teaching English I spend a lot oftime and enthusiasm to study reflection as well as the effectiveness of teachinghours, especially the lesson of grasp the vocabulary of children

+ I am hard-working, researching, referring to many documents, grammar,vocabulary Then I record and accumulate regularly

+ I often exchange with the company in and outside teaching hours to learn anddraw experience needed to apply

b Hard:

- My school is a rural school, and library materials are limited Therefore, there arenot enough documents for students and teachers to consult, study easily, easily.Most of the students are children of farmers, the family is poor so the parents onlyworry about the economy do not have time to care and urge their learning so thesource of good students is quite limited

- About the distribution of the week, sometimes one session must learn twoconsecutive English, to load a number of words a lot This will certainly causesome students to overload psychology, greatly affecting the next class

- Students do not focus on English as it is optional

- On the parents side, it is very difficult to check or guide the children to learn athome Because it is a foreign language, not all parents know This is also a verydifficult problem in managing a student's home study

- In addition, the way to learn vocabulary of children is also worth attention, theyoften learn vocabulary by reading the word in English and trying to remember themeaning in Vietnamese, there is writing practice to deal with me , but not self-examination, to inculcate new words and capital words available Therefore, theyare very quick to forget and easily confused one word with another Therefore,many children are tired of learning and forgetting So I paid attention to thisstudent's psychology

* The actual survey of the year I achieved the following results.

After analyzing the above difficulties, students are afraid to learn English, often not

in the unit and the teaching of vocabulary in primary school has not achieved highresults In the 2017-2018 school year, when I received the 3rd grade Englishlanguage teaching, I gave them the vocabulary test in December 2017 I asked them

to match the English words with matching meaning Translate words intoVietnamese, translate words into English The results of the survey before theimplementation of the subject in block 3 with the number of 120 children: 120 em:

Poits 9-10 Poits 7-8 Poits 5-6 Poits below 5

With such results, I see some students study seriously, have the sense to buildlessons in the class and the children have achieved high results as the children:Huong, Lan, Hue, Mai There are not many students just learn throughloudspeaker, not engraved vocabulary into memory, not practice reading, writingoften, not in two-dimensional sense like children: Huan, Dat, Tien, Hong vv Leading to weak points, much less

So I decided to apply some of my vocabulary teaching experiences through mysenior years and during the following classes I applied my experience presentedbelow, so that at the end of the year I compared my results with the results head

2.3 Measures to Improve Vocabulary Teaching for Grade 3 Students.

2.3.1 Method 1: Principles of teaching English to children.

Teaching children is a relatively difficult and complex task because children donot really have the sense of learning as adults and most are very playful Forchildren to focus on the lesson, teachers should follow the principles of teachingchildren, I always organize teaching activities as rich as games in the classroom.For example:

Play Kim's Game:

(Teachers can use pictures with different topics for students to play.)

Rules:

- Divide the class into 3 teams

- Observe 6 pictures in turn

- The teams remember and name the pictures in English for 1 minute Writtencorrectly each team's paintings will be 10 points

Ex:

-Play learning that - learn to play This is a "Teaching without Teaching"method, I create a colorful, multi-colored playground in English for students, guidestudents to master the playground and step by step add to other activities.

- Activities, photos more theory Pictures, games, musicals, plays are generallyactivities to help students participate in the environment using English naturally,not forced

- Learning more than the syllabus Following a curriculum will limit the creativecapacity of both teachers and students In addition, in order to diversify classroomactivities, enhancement of learning is essential

- Listening - speaking more than reading - writing The fact that speaking skills areimportant, easier to learn and more imitative in learning foreign languages Andwhen they hear that, students have gradually built up confidence in the use ofEnglish

- Imitate the grammar Imitation is indispensable for children, especially inlearning foreign languages Imitation helps the learning process go faster, includingthe application of clumsiness to the basic sentence patterns

2.3.2 Method 2: How to choose words to teach.

English has hundreds of thousands of words, so teaching new words is not an

easy task for foreign teachers However, it is important to remember that an averagenative speaker speaks only about five thousand words in daily communication Inaddition, students do not need to use all the words correctly because sometimesthey just need to recognize and understand the message that words convey.Therefore, the choice of words to teach based on the frequency and use of wordsaccording to the needs of students is very important

In today's primary school environment, when it comes to grammar,grammatical and vocabulary, vocabulary and grammar are always closely related,and are often taught to clarify meaning together However, teaching andintroducing vocabulary is a matter that needs to be considered according to thepurpose of the topic that I choose Usually in a lesson there are always new words,and not all new words need to be taught To pick words to teach, I consider theproblem:

- active vocabulary

Passive vocabulary

We all know how to teach these two words differently Positive involves fourskills (listening - speaking - reading - writing) For this kind of word I need toinvest time to introduce and give students more practice

With passive words I just stop at the perception level, no need to invest time inthe application activities I choose and decide which word to teach as an activeword and a word as a passive word

- When teaching new words, it is necessary to clarify three basic elements ofthe language:

+ Form

+ Meaning

It is not enough for students to know how to write and define words such asdictionaries For students to know how to use them in communication, I need toknow how to pronounce words, not just words but also know the correctpronunciation of the words in the chain of words, especially the meaning of theword

The number of words to teach depends on the content and the level of thestudent Never teach all new words, because there will not be enough time toperform other activities However, in an elementary school classroom I should onlyteach a maximum of 6 words

While choosing words to teach, I consider the following two conditions:

+ Since it is necessary to understand the text?

+ Since it is difficult compared with the level of students?

- If the word is necessary for the understanding of the text and is appropriate forthe level of the student, then it is an active word, so we must teach the student thespecific measures I will show below

- If the word is necessary for the understanding of the text but it is difficult tocompare with the level of the student, then it is not an active word, so we shouldexplain it to the students immediately

- If the word is not necessary for understanding the text and not too difficultthen you should ask students to guess.

* Steps to teach words

Introduction, this topic is quite important step in teaching vocabulary This stepwill determine the success of the class, which will elicit a reference to the wordsthat are going to be learned through the topic that has just been introduced

The most important thing in introducing new words is to follow the sequence:listening, speaking, reading, writing Never start from any other "hear" activity.Remember the process of learning our mother tongue, always beginning withlistening, imitation, and then to other activities Help your students have a goodhabit of learning new words:

- Step 1: "listen", for students to hear new words by reading the sample or usingthe native voice CD is the best

- Step 2: "Speak", after the students have heard three times, ask the students torepeat As students repeat, they need to remind the class to repeat first, then call theindividual to check and correct the mistake immediately for the children

- Step 3: "read", write the word on the board and have students look at it toread Have the students read the whole class, then read individually and correct thestudents

- Step 4: "write", after the students have read the word correctly then you askthe students to write the word in the notebook

- Step 5: Determine if the student understands the meaning of the word

- Step 6: Word accents: Pronounce words and ask students to identify syllableswith accent and accent marks

- Step 7: Give the sample sentences and ask the students to identify the words

of the new vocabulary

2.3.3 Measure 3: Techniques to clarify the meaning of a word.

In English each word usually has two sides: the meaning of words and usage Themeaning of words and how they are used are two different things There are many

cases where the dictionary can understand the meaning of the word, but it is notknown how to use the word The usage of a word depends on the function of theword in the sentence, the context, the habits of the user and their relationship to thecultural and social environment Here are some tips to clarify the meaning:

a / Visualization: real objects in the classroom, pictures, sketches, magazine

collages, gestures, etc Have a strong impact on student interest and help studentsremember faster, longer

+ Use real things to teach the topic of school supplies, clothes

School things:

* Clothes

+ Mimic gestures, gestures, facial expressions: teachers and students are always a

source of visual animations that are cleverly applied will bring positive effects

b / Using the language learned:

- Definition, description: Students will rely on the words learned and basicunderstanding to guess the meaning of the word through the definition of theteacher This technique gives students curiosity and the need to participate in thelearning process and to develop listening skills for students

+ T: It is very big and it has a long nose What is it?

c Use synonyms, antonyms,

We use synonyms or antonyms to clarify the meaning of a word when a studentalready knows the meaning of a word in a synonym

* Synonyms

nice - beautiful, clever - intelligent,

bookstore - bookshop, eraser - rubber, pants - trousers

* Antonym (antonym)

tall - short, thin - fat, pretty - ugly, young - old

long - short, thin - thick, new - old, big - litlle

d Based on rules form words, create words:

Students guess the meaning of the new word formed through the root With thisrule the teacher not only help students grasp knowledge but also expand thevocabulary for students

* Work - worker, drive - driver, write - writer, read - reader

* happy - unhappy, formal - informal, patient - impatient, tit-untidy

* like-dislike, lock-unlock, agree-disagree,

- Create Scenarios: I set up simple, easy-to-understand situations in English,students can guess the situation, can imitate, use words in the context ofcommunication and forging skills

E.g 1: This is my brother He's very lazy He gets up late, and he does not doanything I say to him, "Do not be lazy! Do your homework! "

E.g 2: I have a sister She is very studious She studies very hard She stays up late

to homework, and she gets up early to learn the lesson She is the best student in theclass

- Guess the meaning of the word in the context:

Eg My school is small There are classrooms

Lan's school is big There are nineteen classrooms

Give examples that help students understand the meaning
