A INTRODUCTION

I REASONS TO SELECT THEMES

As we know, English is an important language, commonly usedworldwide 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 youwant to speak well English though any possibility, listening, speaking are alsoneeded 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 tomaster the rules of grammar, have good listening skills, have knowledge of thelanguage but also have a number of diversified, rich lexical In teaching andlearning English, vocabulary is one of three elements forming the system oflanguage knowledge, it is the mean and condition of formation and development

of communication skills In any language, the role of vocabulary is also veryimportant It is possible that a language is a subset of the vocabulary we Can notunderstand the language without understanding the vocabulary, or lexical units.Thus, learning and practicing vocabulary, it is the leading factor in thetransmission of a passive and receptive language in general and English inparticular 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 masterthe expressive forms from the verbal and writing But due to the association ofwords with the other elements of language (grammar, pronunciation,intonation ) or in social situations, many researchers believe that to build a walllanguage vocabulary is the "bricks" and the grammar and sentence structure as

"grout" to mount the brick wall creates language If students don’t havevocabulary, students can not use the sentence structure and the function oflanguage in communication

Stemming from the above problems, I boldly launched research experience

and applied effectively to improve the quality of professional English: " Some tricks to teach vocabulary for grade 3 in Rung Thong primary

school."

“ 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 andintellectual formation of human personality Socialist Vietnam

II Practical Background.

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, whentalking to a native English speaking person, watch a movie without Englishsubtitles, listening to a favorite song or read English documents, we willalways be exposed from vocabulary

Once a famous linguist said if we do not learn grammar well,we can stillachieve something, but if we do not have the vocabulary, we wouldn’t be able toexpress anything at all Native speakers can understand the article correctly usevocabulary that is not grammatically correct However, they will not understandgrammatically correct article, but they do not use the exact words

In fact, Vietnamese students learning English often encounter obstacles inhow to speak English fluently They often find it difficult to participate inactivities related to the speaking skill, because they only use a few repetitivestructures and vocabularies Thus, their communication was interrupted abruptlyearly 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 enoughvocabulary, the people will have problems, even failure in communication.Recognizing the importance of this, today all applicable methods in teaching arefocused to teach vocabulary And start learning English is always associated withlearning vocabulary

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

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

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

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 newwords 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 humanlife 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 beenused as educators useful tool in teaching And now the use of songs, poetry as atool to support the learning of foreign languages is quite common Just a fewtunes 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 atmospherebecome fun and dynamic Students will not feel stressed, even they are scared tospeak English in class atmosphere This will make them feel really excited andvoluntary participation in classroom activities

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

The songs, poetry can help students to learn about pronunciation Forlearners of English in general and in particular primary school students, there’resome sound that are very difficult to imitate because our mother tongue does nothave this sound such as: / ð /, / θ /, / æ / , Therefore, they must learn how topronounce inflexibly The wrong pronunciation can change the meaning of thephrase, will not lead to communication results, because listeners misinterpretedthe transmission of information Songs, poems can help them overcome this Themelody of the song, the rhythm of the poem often repeated a similar sound Whenthey listen many times, they will indirectly be told how to pronounce the soundthat 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 anumber of positions they heard the first to grasp the content of the post Thenthey listen from a second they fill in the blanks as much as possible The thirdtime, they listen to check if they have correctly filled This type of exercise isuseful 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 wordswith 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 Vietnamesewords, they would circle the meaning of English words in such poems or songs

or vice versa

Examples:

2 Develop some tips for students to learn well vocabulary (Reference – 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 toperceive the visual world from vivid to abstract thinking, children are especiallyexcited when the teacher preparation utensils or right visual objects theclassroom

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

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 knowhow 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 orusing the projector, so that students can directly observe the image, thereby theremembering 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 themeaning 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:
