1.1 Reason of choose topic.

In recent years, English has received a lot of attention from leaders,parents and students Almost all elementary schools have English rooms and areequipped with modern equipment Why? Because in today's era of informationtechnology, English is a widely used language, the second language of manycountries in the world A tool to integrate with the world Being a pioneer inofficially introducing English into teaching in primary school in Thanh Hoaprovince encountered many difficulties But after 3 years of implementing theproject of teaching foreign languages thanks to the continuous efforts of thevarious levels of industry and effort to overcome many difficulties of Englishteachers, the first step English subjects have been studied by children.Welcoming and learning enthusiasm Parents are always watching forencouragement As an English teacher I am very glad to see you are very eager

After a period of training by the Thanh Hoa Department of Education toimprove foreign language skills, especially professional courses taught by HanoiUniversity, I have learned and improved a lot in the field his teaching style.There are so many new things I and my colleagues are adopting and effective.Today I would like to present my speech on the method "Experrience in teachingvocabulary for students in grade 5 in Nguyen Ba Ngoc primary school"

1.2 Content initiatives experience.

1.2.1.Advantages.

Teaching is a challenging job, with new challenges emerging every year

as the world changes day by day and teachers are ready to receive and impartnew knowledge to students mine One problem that many teachers face is how

to introduce vocabulary so that they will not only understand but also feelinteresting Their immature brains will be extremely pressured by the method.Introduce and check the vocabulary by way of recording, cramming andmemorization If there are no vocabulary teaching methods and inspiration, thenyou will consider learning vocabulary is to deal with the times check

Vocabulary is the most important tool in learning English In any of theskills of learning a foreign language, one must use vocabulary So Englishvocabulary is the source of capital, the main tool for English learners

In a lesson in English, most of the classes have a vocabularyintroduction For high-achieving lessons, students must understand thepronunciation and the use of words To achieve this effect teachers have tochoose the appropriate teaching methods to make students easy to understand,easy to remember, easy to use

1.2.2 Difficulties.

1

- Under the current distribution programs, elementary English courses per week 02 more, which almost always have more new words in the lesson and even in training But good to teach vocabulary to students more active Teachers must make pictures, maps for illustration, enabling them to easily remember words and directs their attention to the topic or lesson focus In addition,studentshere because the conditions and circumstances, parents are not aware of the importance of the English language, should not concern, urging them to learn this subject In addition, due to development in all aspects is limited, conditions for elementary students are exposed to the mass media, the entertainment

programs use less English Leading to- To the students, besides a number of children seriously, there are not only fewer students learn through the speakers, not the words etched into the memory, not reading, writing regularly, not sense

of to the students, is also very difficult to check or guide them to learn at home Because the foreign language, parents are not always known It is also very difficult problem in the management of student learning at home Also, how students learn vocabulary is also worthy of attention, students often learn

vocabulary by reading words in English and try to remember that in Vietnamese,wrote in writing as well as to deal with teachers, but not self-consciously check their, to inculcate new words and vocabulary available Therefore, they are forgetful and easily confused words with other words As a result, many studentsget bored and abandon school So teachers need to pay attention to this mentality

-Teaching is a challenging job, with new challenges emerging every year

as the world changes day by day and teachers are ready to receive and impartnew knowledge to students mine One problem that many teachers face is how

to introduce vocabulary so that they will not only understand but also feelinteresting Their immature brains will be extremely pressured by the method.Introduce and check the vocabulary by way of recording, cramming andmemorization If there are no vocabulary teaching methods and inspiration, thenyou will consider learning vocabulary is to deal with the times check

2 CONTENT INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE.

2.1 Rationale.

Innovation on teaching methods, using the pupils are center, to they

explore, discover and acquire knowledge and the teacher is only guide them It

is a central goal to help pupils remember their lessons well These activities notonly simple but also closely such as “oan tu ti”, match to sentences Tocontribute into the success of class, we use available instruments

2.2 Situation issues before applying experience initiative.

Vocabulary instruction is only part of the lesson but it plays an extremelyimportant role in the success of the class because practice of the sentence,communication skills fluently, fluently, and advantageously Whether or notstudents are able to read new words, understand the meaning and use ofvocabulary Teachers must have appropriate teaching methods for each lesson.How to introduce and test vocabulary they feel excited but still effective

Through the practical teaching of the past few years, I have noticed that theold way of teaching and learning vocabulary usually takes the form of: Teacherreads and lists words by teachers who have never appeared in the teachingprocess new words then teachers write all the new words on the board, explainthe meaning in Vietnamese and then read them several times Have the studentsmemorize the new word for examination in the subsequent class That makesthem boring and stressful

In order to solve this problem, the first semester of school year 2016- 2017 Ihad a small survey with two classes of grade 5 with a test within 40 minutes

The begin of the year The first Term The end of year.

2.3 Some of the methods of teaching English vocabulary in

elementary school.

2.3.1 Use pictures to teach vocabulary.

- This is a common way but very effective in introducing and learning

vocabulary Help students learn words, remember words through pictures

Example 1 :( Unit 1: Lesson 1 page 4 - English 5)

Example 2 : Unit 3 :( Lesson 1- page 13 English 5)

Example 3(: Unit 7 : Lesson 1- page 33 – English 5)

2.3.2 Teach vocabulary through song, chant, video clip.

Using video clips, songs, chant is very effective in learning and

introducing vocabulary Sometimes they just belong to the song, chant they have

a relative vocabulary This method helps children learn from the natural way,

without being forced to learn With this method, teachers need to invest time to

find songs, chant, video clips that match the content of the lessons, which are

suitable for the physiological age of the children I use this method to teach and

reinforce vocabulary very effectively

Example 1 : Song - Numbers

One and one is two

Two and two is four

Four and one is five

Five and five is ten

-The song "The big number song" is a good song about the numbers, they can count from 1 to 1 billion but still enjoy

Example 2 : The Alphabet Song

ABCDEFG

HIJKLNMOP

QRSTUV

X Y Z

Now I know my ABCs

Next time won`t you sing with me.

-The song "We are the alphabet" is a song that children like when learningabout the alphabet

Example 3 : Days of the week

There are seven days

There are seven days

There are seven days in a week

Green and white

And pink and brown

Red, blue,and yellow

These are beautiful colours

2.3.3 TPR teaching method.

TPR is a kind of vocabulary geometry that they like very light, attractive,receptive to the game The children can TPR according to the song, chant (seethe video clip and follow the activities) Or the teacher just read the words andexpress the words with action, they say and follow

Example :

- clap your hand – clap, clap ,clap : vỗ tay

- Stand up : đứng lên

- sit down : ngồi xuống

- shake your hand : lắc tay

- shake your body : đung đưa cơ thể

- Wash your hand : rửa tay

- brush your teeth: đánh răng

- There are many words and phrases we can teach and learn through the TPR form that makes the English lessons exciting.

2.3.6 Use real objects.

Teachers can point to real objects in the classroom and introduce: "abook", "a pen", "a ruler"

The teacher then asks the student to look at the object and guess themeaning of the word This method gives them excitement and high attentionbecause the teacher's introduction is something very close to them daily andeasy to guess for the children Real items can be around the classroom or theteacher can prepare at home

Games are not always a kind of entertainment In fact, it can be used toreinforce the vocabulary presented in the lesson in a way that appeals to students

in an organized and fun way Teachers need to know how to use the games intheir lessons so that they can learn and play so that lessons can be relaxed.However, depending on the specific lesson, the teacher can choose theappropriate game for the purpose of the lesson
