III CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 20

I OPEN TOP

1 Why choose topics

Education plays an important role in the survival and development ofsociety and is the standard mark of a country's development because educationprovides for human and social talents Especially in this day and age, scienceindustry is growing very fast, our country is in the period of internationalintegration To comprehend the essence of culture, science and technologyadvances, the modern development of the country requires that we must have acertain level of foreign language Thus, subjects in English is equally importantfor the young generation especially students

Thus, the key issue is not only the "Students should know" that in addition

to "What happens to students" as they engage in the learning process Teachersneed to care about the learning process, to the construction of knowledge oflearners When learner centered teachers should determine how the learningprocess is most effective On that basis, teachers need to adjust the teachingactivities to fit with the capacity, interest and needs of the learner This requiresteachers to have a new perspective, a new way of thinking about work, about therelationship of teacher and student related issues So the problem that I aminterested in the teaching is how excited students, active in school lessons toachieve the highest efficiency

Moreover, in the present context, the entire education and training isattempting innovative teaching methods towards promoting positive, initiativeand creativity of students in learning activities In foreign language teachingorientation is more practical innovation because no one can replace the learners

in understanding the foreign language media and use them in communicationactivities with the energy of his communication Communication is the ultimategoal of foreign language teaching and learning in schools in general This meansthat teachers must be trained to coordinate and all four skills of listening,speaking, reading and writing for children But to practice any skill requires you

to have a certain vocabulary, learning vocabulary is a problem for students Forelementary school students, new students beginning the course should befamiliar with much surprise So they feel learning vocabulary learning English isdifficult and forgetful because writing systems and other vernacularpronunciation

As my English teacher always think is how the children memorizevocabulary effectively , how to improve teaching and learning vocabulary fromwhich to make a solid starting point for the whole process student learning ?That is the big question always makes me posing in my concern and was alsomotivate me to find the answers After a period of research and study, as well asreferences from colleagues, with accumulated knowledge may I boldly launched

"A number of measures to help improve the efficiency of vocabulary teachingEnglish class 4"

2 For the purpose research

Improving the quality of teaching vocabulary, launched a number ofmeasures to actively engage students learning vocabulary

The goal of education is currently focused on the development direction

of the dynamism, creativity and positive in order to enable students to identifyand solve their problems To help achieve this goal, the use of tips whenteaching vocabulary to students instead of teaching vocabulary tradition styleoffering from teachers and semantics are essential Based on innovation orientedteaching methods of English primary schools Ministry of Education andTraining Basic criteria of the new teaching methods that operate independently,actively, activeness of students in solving the tasks to communicate in thelanguage Key criteria to assess the learning outcomes of students arecommunicative competence, competence in the language behavior in specificsocial situations that vocabulary is the main component in the communicationactivities Thus, helping students to accumulate the necessary vocabulary is awork equally important As we all know the purpose of learning a foreignlanguage is not known phonetic system, vocabulary, grammar, which is known

to use that system to achieve the purpose of communication Thus, helpingstudents know to use vocabulary in context communication is an indispensablework and not simply a teacher On the other hand, today's children are fastgathering information and sharing of information in society with breakneckspeed, every child has the ability to search information in different ways Theuse of new technologies that have the ability to solve youth problems andprocess information simultaneously This is a difference of Vietnam todaychildren and children in Vietnam a few decades ago These studies were carriedout in many countries in the past century in part to prove that each student has alearning problem hobby aka learning styles Yes student interest in the way thestudy material, based on the theoretical analysis, there is student interest in theexperience, discover, try, there is student interest through applied practice, withstudents like to learn past If such observations are not interested in learningthe characteristics of learners, teachers instill a way, identifiable knowledge

taught simultaneously announced it will limit the ability of learners to acquire,people completely passive learning in the knowledge Congress will alsopassivity in the face of difficult challenges of life So how to change frompassive learning to active learning? One important factor is the need to considerthe characteristics of the school or in other words, learning style of the learner.Interested in learning styles of learners are factors promoting the development of

the maximum capacity of the school (Quote document active teaching and learning Page 13 and 14).

To meet the demands on the learner to active, creative, knowledgeableand highly professional skills, willing to shoulder the responsibilityRequirements for students not only knowledge but also the capacity to solve theproblem How to solve problems flexibly and creatively advance the difficultsituation, the complexity of life Thus, as a person in the industry I think need toconstantly innovate, regardless of which method of teaching innovation to trainhuman resources to meet the requirements of socio economic development

2 Factual basis

2.1 Status the problem before applying the experience initiative

In foreign language learning environment at present, when it comes tonew language comes mainly grammar and vocabulary Vocabulary and grammaralways have a close relationship with each other, has always been taught incollaboration to clarify each other's meaning The fact is that in thecommunication, the listener can still understand the content of the sentencealthough that sentence has grammatical error However, if students are firmlygrasp the grammatical structure but from too little capital, when listening -speaking or be confused, not express For example, when teachers took themeasure and asked "What is this?" The student just said "It's a ." Thechildren listen to and understand the question, but did not know how to answercomplete because they do not remember the words Complete answer them is

"It's a ruler." Or when teachers ask students to ask my friend if you regularlyplay football or not, students are often confused: "Do you ?" Although Ican understand the structure of the question simple present

This does not mean that we underestimate the importance of learninggrammar, but to point out that for the teaching and learning of any languagevocabulary is the foundation Although there is no separate section in each unit

of study in English books but it plays a very important role

But the question is if we are still keeping the vocabulary taught traditionalmethod is the master teacher sample reading, then ask students to read in unisonseveral times, calling some of them own reading, he fixes it meaning of the wordtranslated into Vietnamese, ask students to memorize new words, newcapabilities from their memory is very limited, while learning vocabulary forthem will be extremely boring, tedious, monotonous, its ability to use words tocommunicate not obtained good results

2.2 Situation of teaching vocabulary.

a Advantage

- Itself subject teachers are caring, enthusiastic student teaching, alwayscrystal high responsibility and tried to find out the new teaching methods in linewith the actual conditions of the school Also received support from the teachersand professional groups and colleagues

- The majority of the students loved learning English and prepare booksand utensils for learning

- The majority of parents are interested and create conditions for theirchildren's learning

b Difficult

As a school located in rural areas, most of the students are children offarmers so the learning conditions of the children remains limited To theparents, is also very difficult to check or guide them to learn English at home bysubjects parents are not always aware

- Some students have less time to study at home for longer hours theymust help their parents with housework, farm work

- They have few conditions to communicate in English and they are alsoafraid to communicate and exchange in English outside school hours

- On the basis of the material is still facing many difficulties as no tapes,audio visual room separately so the teaching and learning also encounteredmany difficulties

- To the teachers did not have much time to explore, research and newteaching methods

Before testing the solution into teaching I surveyed the quality of students

in the class 4A Overall the years when teaching vocabulary in the "Section" and

"Section B" many teachers typically do the following:

Read the entire contents of that section for students to listen and then letthe students read and read individual unison, pointing to the painting and askedstudents about the actions of the people in the pictures Record new words onthe blackboard, the teacher read the form several times, for students to read andthen read individual unison, then explained that Vietnamese, final copy of thenew students in their notebooks

These steps are more teachers teaching applications, even myself haveever wondered approach to teaching vocabulary in unit 9 ( Section A1,2,3 )Let's learn English in two books in class 4A school year 2014 - 2015 my school

in as follows : the introduction of the only food and drink I write new words onthe board and take steps according to the method taught above After studentshave completed 8 from just food and beverages ( fish, meat, chicken, orangejuice, apple juice, fruit juice, food, drink ), I test all 10 older children, ask them

to introduce the food and beverages The survey results showed that initialsurvey :

Class Total The number of students Some students do not

remember vocabulary remember the words

With such concerns motivated me boldly research and introduced thetopic " A number of measures to help improve the efficiency of vocabularyteaching English class 4 " to partly remedy the situation

3.The solution for teaching elementary English vocabulary achieve high results

Teaching in any part of the lesson, the teacher's role is very important The teacher is a guide, explain to them what needs to be mastered, practicesaying how, using vocabulary like Since then called the children to practice andfix if necessary teachers Teachers need to monitor the practice for the followingpurposes :

+ Understand the extent of their memo

+ Determine the type of error that you have and how to correct or

+ Understand the relevant vocabulary that students should learn, theirlearning needs is what?

- To teach the vocabulary and high results the teacher must be fullyprepared visual aids such as pictures, objects to illustrate the matchingrequirements of the unit Some very important factor is that teachers must knowchoose from to teach Usually in a lesson often appear many new words, newwords are not finished yet should also put in to teaching and teaching alike Tochoose from to teach must consider the following issues:

+ From there needed to understand the text?

+ From there it's difficult for students who are not qualified?

If the word is needed to understand the text and in accordance with thelevel of its students from the positive group, so we need to teach students

If the word is needed to understand the text, but harder than the level ofthe students, it is not from a positive group, you should explain and then tellfrom that right

If the word is not necessary to understand the text and also not verydifficult compared to students, we should ask students to guess

- Teachers should clearly identify the students already know this or not?

In order not to waste time, teachers must ensure their words and words toteach taught

- From new unknown student, avoiding the introduction of unnecessarywords

- Teachers need to identify the factors that need clarification as tointroduce new words

These factors should be clarified when new words are introduced asfollows :

Introduce new words : - The writing ( spelling )

- Phonetics ( Pronunciation )

- Semantics ( Lexical meaning )

- Morphology grammar ( Gramartical form)

- Usage ( use )

In conclusion the selection of a new job is extremely important for everyteacher, it helps teachers convey the basic knowledge to help studentsunderstand the lesson easily Teachers not introduce vocabulary rampant withthoughts " as much as possible " because for elementary school students, theeducational level novice entirely new language other than their mother tongue ,which that requires us to look, choose appropriate vocabulary According to thestudy of psychology, cognitive brain normally they acquired 6 to 8 new words in

a lesson Thus, in a lesson we should only introduce students to a maximum of

6 to 8 new words

3.1 Some game applications in teaching English

Active teaching and learning actually takes place only when the studentsget comfortable Feeling comfortable is feeling like being at home, areinterested, feel safe, to be able to express themselves and feel peaceful inside.Feeling comfortable is showing signs of developing a good mind Comfortableexistence when they are confident in themselves, meaning that high self-esteem.Knowing he could make mistakes is an important factor can bring progress anddevelopment, can help students cope better with difficulties The support andpositive feedback realistic expectations should become a part of life in theschool

One of the elements to create the feeling of comfort is the humor Humorhelps clear view of the work in cognitive abilities and help overcome thedifficult situation Humor brings the power and vision to find new solutions Wemade the children laugh full yet? The teacher was laughing enough withstudents and colleagues, or not? That is the question for each teacher while

teaching positive.(Quote document active teaching and learning Page 18 and 19)

Therefore, I strongly some game applications to the subjects taughtvocabulary in English in primary schools in Cam Binh 3 The game when Imade the children very excited, passionate, focused, school plays when they are

no longer tense, cramped including immersion After each test the childrenremember the vocabulary is very good, and 80 % of them remember the words.Activities this game I applied at the warm up and strengthen Here are the gamesthat my active application

Communication Games :

* Rules of the game:

( Artwork communication games - the team members are messengers

for each other )

1 The participants divided into 2, 3 or more teams after picking out acommander

2 The commander will invite representatives of the team up and gave therepresentatives a piece of paper that shows a certain number of questions.Example: "Tomorrow you're coming home to play," or "there is a cat on the roofMun"

3 After the commander emits commands start the game, therepresentative will quickly return to his team and the whispered question to theperson sitting next to them, and so on until the last

4 The last person in each team will say that his sentence to hear, certainlywill have some deviation from the initial sentence of the commander Who wasassigned to write down your answers will hear his rewrite the sentence hearing

on the board

5 Which team communication is the most accurate and most correctanswers will be the winner This game often burst the chains when a teamlaughing mistakenly believe that communication

So from the game on the app I have on my subjects see the English andhad good results Specific example :

When teaching post ( unit 8 : What We so every day ) I have appliedcommunication game is as follows:

1 Divide the class into three groups of six children standing in a circle Then select a commander

2 The commander invited the representatives of the team up and give arepresentative reading of the sentences recorded in the paper thenrepresentatives memorizing sentences written in the paper for a few secondsSpecific:

* Group1 : The paper record of daily activities : Get up, have breakfast ,

4 The last person in each team will speak to the question that I hear, whowas appointed to rewrite the answer I heard was his will rewrite the sentencehearing of his team on the board

5 Which team most accurate communications, the fastest and mostcorrect answers will be the winner

( Photo courtesy of your communications team is another )

From such games very exciting class, class is very attractive and

interesting

Quiz game :

* Rules of the game:

1 All participants will sit or stand in a wide circle

2 A person who makes the first puzzle out of the room, while the rest goover a certain picture ( such as monkeys, elephants, bears, tigers )

(Photo illustrations amusing puzzle game-everyone in the team is looking at a

number of paintings of his team)

3 After the return, the puzzle will observe the action description of thepainting of a you any and have to say that's what the picture after 3 guesses

4 The game takes place in a certain time interval or after the participantswere over once described Join this game, the shy, timid or you make will becomemore vibrant, boldly, and in particular, the possibility of the child going muchbetter

(The Photo illustrates the observation puzzle action description and guess the

content of paintings)

As such, the shy of students is improved Students increasingly participatemore actively in the learning process, children confidently assert themselves andfrom which the children gradually develop the active to become useful people insociety

Specific example: When the Lesson (unit 10: At the circus section A)

instead for students to observe and carry out paintings questionable methods, I have applied the following quiz:

1 Select two teams, each team 7 to 10 students, the participants will stand

in a wide circle

2 Choose two children as a first puzzle out of the room within 1 minute,while the rest along to see some pictures of bears, tigers, elephants, monkeys

* Team 1: See some controversy: bears, tigers, elephants, monkeys

* Team 2: See some controversy: Monkeys, elephants, tigers, bears

3 After returning people puzzle observers would describe the actions of apicture and to tell you any picture that's been what follows 3 guesses Thosedescriptions of paintings are only allowed to express in action, if taken orallywould be violating rules and the answer will not be scored

4 The game takes place within 5 minutes People puzzle after hearing adescription of the contents of the picture will read out the answer in English and

on a new sticker from the corresponding picture on the board The team hasmany correct answers will be the winner
