THACH THANH, YEAR 2018

1 Introduction

1.1 Reason for choosing topic.

Our country is in the integration time, the Party and the State especiallypay special attention to the development of education and training In thedevelopment of this project, the establishment and development of primaryeducation is of great importance in contributing to the firm of development ofthe education system in order to integrate Vietnamese education to others in theregion and the world

Elementary school is the foundation of the national education system.Itsaim is to educate students to form the basis for the long-term moral andintellectual development, physical, aesthetic and basic skills so that studentscontinue to study to junior high school The development of primary educationalso help to contribute to the solid development of education and training

In order to focus on the successful implementation of primary educationgoals, to educate children in the initial development and development ofpersonality, English in the school is an indispensable subject for teaching andlearning English is the international language, so using English well is seemed

to be the golden key for people to integrate better With this trend, teaching andlearning English at the elementary level becomes more important and urgentthan ever, especially in the training of excellent students

Today, teaching and learning foreign languages is becoming an urgentneed for the whole society With the trend of integration and development ofeach Vietnamese people, students are gradually equipping themselves with acertain foreign language to exchange learning and reach out to the world

English is extremely important in the overall development of the students.For many years I have been assigned the task of fostering excellent students.Therefore, it is necessary to identify the positions, roles and responsibilities ofthe good students

Based on the fact that over the years, I have researched and applied manymeasures to refine and sharpen students in order to improve the quality ofteaching and learning English well and have had the turning points successfully

I boldly share the experience: " Some effective measures to help 4 th and 5 th

grades students at Thach Quang primary school for gaining good knowledge

to achieve success in taking part in English Club" in order to improve the

efficiency of the room good English in the school and throughout the district,meeting the standard primary school, suitable for education in the new period

1.2 purposes

My theme is to share with my peers, who are at the top of their class,standing up for their own experiences which have been selected and applied inpractice in the school years and have remarkable results In addition, I wouldlike to receive the enthusiastic contribution of colleagues to the re-training,fostering my good students achieved more success

1.3 Subjects

The students of grades 4 and 5 of Thach Quang primary school where I

am working These students have the potential, good character, good languageskills that I discovered the fostering and took part in English languagecompetitions at school, cluster and district level in the school year 2017 -2018

1.4 Methods

- Student-centered approach to the lesson

- The method of organizing regular, regular exchanges, organized into communication skills in pairs and groups

- Methods of research to build theoretical basis- Method of investigation survey the pros and cons of each pupil in elementary school

- Methods of collecting information, materials from textbooks, tapes,discs, learning English online, exchanging with colleagues, with native teachers

- Statistical methods, data processing, markers, levels achieved bystudents in cross-examination among student’s groups to select the best students

Based on the Official Letter No 2041 / SGD & ĐT-GDTH dated firstSeptember 2017 of the Director of Thanh Hoa Department of Education andTraining guiding the implementation of the school year 2017-2018 tasks;

Department of Education and Training instructs elementary schools in thedistrict to organize Cluster Exchange Activities for off-hours education in 2017-

2018 The goal of improving the quality of comprehensive education in primaryschools; and motivating students to go to school

Through the exchange students help to train life skills such ascommunication skill, cooperative skill, situations management skills

English is taught in school later than other subjects but is supportedenthusiastically by both students and their parents Due to the new methods inteaching forein language now is to motivate students learning independently,actively and positively in solving the tasks of communication and co-curricularactivities in the English Club

2.2 Status of issues

The fact show that students learn English well but lack of environment tocommunicate and practice may lead them just learning passively through books

Moreover, if the knowledge they learn without digging deep and creation, it willhave certain limitation Therefore, that Thach Thanh Education Department haveorganised English Club was to give a chance for students to exchange knowledgeand to advance the quality of learning and teaching English in all schools in thedistrict.

*Advantages:With the condition of the center of the six communes in the

West, Thach Quang primary school has succeded in teaching and learningmovement So, when I proposed to establish the team to join in English club, Iwas supported by both the headmaster and students’s parents who alwaysmotivate and encourage their children to learn English Besides, the teachers ofother subjects are aggressive, enthusiastic and dedicated to the profession.Moreover, students themselves are so eager and love English that make the studysession become effective

*Disadvantages:Thach Quang Primary school is located in a remote and

mountainous area which is very far from the center of the district Besides, lack

of facilities served for learning such as projectors, multi-purpose room alsoprevents both English teacher and students from practising English more often.What is more, most students are from ethnic groups (for example, Muong ethnicgroup) and many of them still speak Kinh language unclearly, which is uneasyfor them to communicate with others as well as with native speakers Finally, thelow income of students’parents also stops them from buying tapes, referencebooks for their children to improve knowledge For the reasons above, the result

of study among students is not in the same level So, how to train for attaininggood results is an unsolvable problem

In addition, the superficial awareness of some teachers in the school andstudents in English subjects sometimes lead to English teaching and learningactivities uneffective

2.3 Measures

From the above situation, in order to improve English students in thenext school year, I would like to present some basic solutions that have beenapplied and got results

Measure 1: Good communication, awareness raising for managers, teachers, parents, students about the importance of English in the school.

In any areas, for successful implementation, the awareness of the role andposition of the task is the first and the key step The right understanding help tounderstand the importance of the task from which we focus on intellectual andstrength on the task assigned known as a "guideline" for all work

The target audiences for this is managers, teachers, staffs, parents andstudents The content should raise awareness about the role, position, missionand importance of English in the school, to improve the quality ofcomprehensive education for students Explain that innovation in teachingmethods: textbooks, materials, teaching aids are essential elements that can not

be overlooked The close attention of the Department of Education and Training,the school, the parents and all the teachers in the school contribute to teachingand learning English better.

Measure 2: Choosing the best students in grade 4, grade 5 to join the school's English club.

Through the process of studying in grade 4 and 5, I realize that somestudents absorb fast, hard work, good skills, positive attitude, careful,persevering, high self-esteem in learning and passion for the subject If thestudent has these characteristics I will select and train systematically at thebeginning of the school year

Measure 3: Give students in grade 4, grade 5 take different test

For the purpose of quality survey to accurately screen the team, choosethe right object to create fairness for students, they will promote their ability tolearn foreign languages

After gathering the results of the best students in grade 5, I selected 8 students to join the English Club

Looking at the results of both grade 4 and grade 5, I officially selected 15students to join the English Club.

Measure 4: High consensus of the administration, expertise and endorsement of parents I planed to practise on Wednesday afternoon, Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon There is also an additional Thursday evening.

Measure 5: I decided to give the students the best English grade 4, grade 5 to learn a class.

I think separating two subjects into two classes to practise would be veryhard Also, it took a lot of time for both students and teachers to decide for thechildren in the two classes study together for a while to help grade 5 reviseknowledge of grade 4 and grade 4 students acquire the new knowledge of grade

5 Complement their lack of knowledge help them become more confident

without teacher or the tutors they are still active in their knowledge themselves.

Photos of students are learning a class

Measure 6: Widening knowledge from the textbook.

* I would like to present an illustrated lecture part from the English

Based on the above examples, students can practice the same sentence

form Ex : + What nationality are you ?

I’m Malaysian.

+ What nationality are you ?

I’m Autralian.

Note: In addition to asking “What nationality are you?”, students can

ask this structure in other ways such as “What is your nationality?” As

excellent students can easily pratise the model sentence, I provide them moreknowledge by expanding another ways of asking For example, if you want to

know a girl or a woman’s citizenship, you ask “ What’s her nationality?”

→She’s Japanese Notice that if you see “her” in the question, certainly the answer starts with “she” And if you want to ask a boy or a man’s nationality, you may say: “ What is his nationlity?”-> He is Malaysian Be careful if “his” appears in the question, the answer must begin with “He”.

To help students practise the knowledge, I prepared an exercise which isgood for them to remember and do the task exactly

Exercise: Reoder the words to make sentences

1 is / nationality / your / what / ?

After my students finish the test, I checked the answer and gave explaination

1 What is your nationality ?

2 What’s his nationality ?

3 What nationality are you ?

4 What is her nationality ?

I continue to apply that teaching method for 5th grade students

Unit 11: What’s the matter with you ? ( Lesson 1: Part 2: Point, Ask and Answer – page 6 – English textbook 5, Espisode 2 )

For this section is the pattern sentence

Model sentences:

What’s the matter with you ? I’ve got a headache.
