A INTRODUCTION

I REASONS TO SELECT THEMES

As we know, English is an important language, commonly used worldwide In the trend of development and national integration with the world, English has become an important communication tool

Vocabulary is one of the most important parts of language learning, if you want to speak well English though any possibility, listening, speaking are also needed a lot of vocabularies, vocabularies don’t have a day or two days, we have it is the cumulative long-term study

To use English as a language of communication, we not only need to master the rules of grammar, have good listening skills, have knowledge of the language but also have a number of diversified, rich lexical In teaching and learning English, vocabulary is one of three elements forming the system of language knowledge, it is the mean and condition of formation and development

of communication skills In any language, the role of vocabulary is also very important It is possible that a language is a subset of the vocabulary we Can not understand the language without understanding the vocabulary, or lexical units Thus, learning and practicing vocabulary, it is the leading factor in the transmission of a passive and receptive language in general and English in particular Because vocabulary is a language unit so it is expressed in two forms: speech and handwriting If you want to use a foreign language, you must master the expressive forms from the verbal and writing But due to the association of words with the other elements of language (grammar, pronunciation, intonation .) or in social situations, many researchers believe that to build a wall language vocabulary is the "bricks" and the grammar and sentence structure as "grout" to mount the brick wall creates language If students don’t have vocabulary, students can not use the sentence structure and the function of language in communication

IV METHODOLOGY

1 Research Methodology:

I researched this topic based on the following grounds :

- Based on actual teaching

- Based on some references about English vocabulary 3

- Based on some of my colleagues’opinions

B CONTENTS

Chapter I: SCIENTIFIC BASIS

I Reasons

In the general education program ,which was issued in Decision No

16/2006 / QD - 05/05/2006 BGDDT , the Minister of Education & Training has

also stated : “We must promote positive self , proactive thinking and creativity

of students , consistent with the characteristic subjects , characteristics of pupils

and conditions of each class, fostering student self-learning method , the

possibility of cooperation , use their skills to practical knowledge , emotional

impact , bring joy , excitement and responsibility for student learning “

On the other hand , the school year 2013- 2014 , the eighth year of full

implementation of the education campaign ' not two ' to four contents in order to

improve the quality of education ,is the year the implementation of the

campaign “ Every teacher is moral example of self-studying and creatation” So

all the teachers in different subjects are equipping their students with the skill

system , the necessary skills to help them develop comprehensive guidance in

moral and intellectual formation of human personality Socialist Vietnam

Vocabulary is one of the tools which people use to think, express ideas,

emotions and learn about the world, is the foundation for all development skills

such as reading comprehension, listening comprehension, speaking, writing,

It is also the major tool that helps students use English effectively Indeed, when talking to a native English speaking person, watch a movie without English subtitles, listening to a favorite song or read English documents, we will always be exposed from vocabulary

Once a famous linguist said if we do not learn grammar well,we can still achieve something, but if we do not have the vocabulary, we wouldn’t be able

to express anything at all Native speakers can understand the article correctly use vocabulary that is not grammatically correct However, they will not understand grammatically correct article, but they do not use the exact words

In fact, Vietnamese students learning English often encounter obstacles in how to speak English fluently They often find it difficult to participate in activities related to the speaking skill, because they only use a few repetitive structures and vocabularies Thus, their communication was interrupted abruptly early due to lack of vocabulary

In short, if they do not have the vocabulary skills, their listening, speaking, reading and writing skill will not be developed If you do not have enough vocabulary, the people will have problems, even failure in communication Recognizing the importance of this, today all applicable methods in teaching are focused to teach vocabulary And start learning English

is always associated with learning vocabulary

Therefore, in the teaching process I thought about how students acquire vocabulary best to help them create the atmosphere lively language learning, help them remember the lessons from the right in , from which they can moreeasily use the words in the communication process

III Content of matters

Cause:

Solution 1: Cause excited to help students love subjects

Solution 2: Develop some tips for students to learn well vocabulary

2 The main measures:

For teachers: young, enthusiastic in teaching beside teacher has also limit The teacher has moved by the junior school, so experience teaching elementary school students do not have much

For students: working through the years I noticed

Elementary students are small so they learn from their quick absorption but quickly forgotten

A number of students pronounce wind up having more difficulty in pronunciation Student likes playing , no passion in learning, they also own work during school hours The you are not aware of learning English

English is a difficult subject, students must memorize, they could not differentiate between types of , students take notes all over the table and listen passively

CHAPTER II:SOLUTION OF THE STATUS AND RESEARCH ISSUES

I Situation

1 Implement solutions :

I studied the method of teaching vocabulary for students at Rung Thong

Primary School

Initially, through the monitor of the students’ studying, I realized that the students were afraid of learning English vocabulary, they were very worried when I checked the vocabulary of the privious lessons At the end of the first semester (mid-December)of Academic Year 2016- 2017, I had made a small test vocabulary for grade three

class 3A : (Unit 10) Reorder the letters ( Referenc- 3)

1 folotabl

2 nbadtmnio

3 sehcs

4 tblaskebal

Class 3B: (Unit 10) “ Bingo” ( Reference - 5)

Class 3C (Unit 13) “ What and where” ( Reference - 5)

And I obtained the following results:

Table 1: Survey Results of the Classes 3A, 3B, 3C

And I want to introduce with you "some tricks to teach vocabulary for grade 3

students" to consult with colleagues

2.Reasons of the current situation:

Rung Thong primary School is located in the outskirt region , 4 km from the city Most people live by farming, business and working away through learning English of students are not interested much Most of students in the school were largely born in local families in the rural labor They have to help their families with the housework outside school hours so they don’t have study

conditions Addition to that, the school in the before years doesn’t have a function room

II SOLUTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Based on the survey situation awareness of students

A Benefits

- Students aged of 9- 10, they are curious, love finding stuff so the exploreing

and understanding will cause a lot of excitement for the children

- Textbooks are compiled in the direction of innovation , channel formation and channel letters They contain scientific knowledge , and basic system so students can acquire knowledge logically and brief overview

B Difficulties

- Knowledge of English is still new subjects for students to become familiar with and are very difficult to teach

- The capacity to learn is not equal among the pupils ,their families’attention

is limited and often has a great impact on their learning

- Most children treated in English is a difficult subject to no interest in learning Based on the survey situation awareness of students

- In the spirit of innovation of teaching methods , textbooks innovation has enhanced the learning outcomes of students : students have the opportunity to work more But the positivation of students has not been promoted high so mastering knowledge and using knowledge is limited Many students have not held to the focus of addressing so that they have some difficulties in giving answers to the exercises

Facing this situation , I have to find out and make the subject “A few

small comments to teach vocabulary class 3”.I hope the section will help

students acquire and transport layer 5 use knowledge more easily

C The implemented measures

Excitement:

From practical teaching, I myself really thought how to make students to

be interested in learning , how to make them to realize that learning English is not a heavy pressure, so they learn better and especially they can remember new words faster, easier, longer I made a number of measures to inspire students,

and I help students acquire vocabulary gently.I gave some tricks to teach

vocabulary for grade 3 students

1.Teaching vocabulary through songs, poems (Unit 7, 9, 12, 19 – English 3)

No one can deny the important influence of the music and poetry to human life Almost everyone loves music It makes people whether that be happy or sad It appears everywhere, all the time to share joy or sadness relieve when we need to Futhermore, poetry-music can increase concentration,

enhance memory, bring people closer together, creating motivation and joy in learning, make people relax when they are depressed or stress,

Because of the tremendous value that poetry brings to music, it has been used as educators useful tool in teaching And now the use of songs, poetry as a tool to support the learning of foreign languages is quite common Just a few tunes of the song, students can learn the culture of authentic language, vocabulary, grammar, listening skills, and a variety of other skills

Using songs and poems in class can make the classroom atmosphere become fun and dynamic Students will not feel stressed, even they are scared

to speak English in class atmosphere This will make them feel really excited and voluntary participation in classroom activities

The songs, poems not only create excitement for student learning, but also contains elements of very rich language including pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar

The songs, poetry can help students to learn about pronunciation For learners of English in general and in particular primary school students, there’re some sound that are very difficult to imitate because our mother tongue does not have this sound such as: / ð /, / θ /, / æ / , Therefore, they must learn how to pronounce inflexibly The wrong pronunciation can change the meaning of the phrase, will not lead to communication results, because listeners misinterpreted the transmission of information Songs, poems can help them overcome this The melody of the song, the rhythm of the poem often repeated a similar sound When they listen many times, they will indirectly be told how to pronounce the sound that makes students remember them and eventually the correct pronunciation

-Example : I usually use the software book of grade 3 to teach songs and

chants

Some activities to learn vocabulary associated with songs, poems to promote motor learning for students: (Reference – 3,4 )

- Gap-filling: First, I give the students lyrics, poems have been vacant for a number of positions they heard the first to grasp the content of the post Then they listen from a second they fill in the blanks as much as possible The third time, they listen to check if they have correctly filled This type of exercise is useful when teaching vocabulary by topic

- Get some words from the songs, the poems

Step 1: Write some random words on the board Students exchange with each other about what the words mean

Step 2: Students are divided into groups of three to four people quickly memorize the words

Step 3: Turn on the song or the poem, student must speak loudly "Stop" when they hear one of those words

- Spelling: For some simple post, I ask them to hear and copy the words

- Circle synonyms, antonyms with given words: In this case, I give a few words with the same or antonyms words in poems or songs to the board, in the process

of hearing, they must circle the synonymsor antonyms of the words given

- Circle the correct word with its meaning: I offer a number of Vietnamese words, they would circle the meaning of English words in such poems or songs

or vice versa

1,4)

+ Teaching vocabulary through the use of visual maps, through

pictures, picture collage or through gestures, posture (Unit 6, 8, 13, 18 – English 3)

Primary students are very active, they enjoy exploring visual exploration Visual effects Students have nature curious, eager to learn and the ability to perceive the visual world from vivid to abstract thinking, children are especially excited when the teacher preparation utensils or right visual objects the classroom

For example, when teaching the word "in,on,under,above,,between ", I

directly put the ball on the table.Or just give them the difference between the

word "desk" and "table" with the goal of learning and I point to desk and table

of the classroom With the topic "school", I use directly the school supplies of

students to teach vocabulary; they are very excited and elated

Example:

To introduce the phrase "open the book" - "close the book", I said while

opening or closing a book

Thus, students will not only quickly memorize new words but also know how to recognize the status of others and how to express their status

For difficult words or phrases, I can prepare visual gadget, I use pictures

or using the projector, so that students can directly observe the image, thereby the remembering of new words is easier

In the process of teaching vocabulary, I also emphasize the correct

pronunciation from using the media as robot teacher support, tape, disk, aspecially software book with the hope my students can speak English as well

as possible

3 Teaching vocabulary through the use of language learning (Unit 7, 20 – English 3) : (Reference – 3, 5)

- Use definition, description: Sometimes, to avoid repeating, I change the way

of teaching and learning by giving definitions, descriptions and students predict the meaning of words

For example: I give students the concept of "the thing which, when you look at, you will see your own image", they immediately shouted, "Cai guong" with a very excited voice, then I give children the word "mirror"

- Use synonyms, antonyms:

For example, when teaching the word "small", I put the antonyms of

it "big" – or with the teaching of "large", I made it a synonym of "big" The

children very quickly figure out the meaning of words that I want to teach

Example:
