I Reasons for choosing the topic
Currently, the English language has become popular all over the world,many countries use it as a first language and people use it as a second language incommunication In Vietnam, English is seen as a major foreign language today
At Nghe An Continuing Education Centre, English is not only taught forlanguage specialized students but also for younglearners of all levels
We have recently applied a number of methods and techniques intoteaching English in order to improve the quality of teaching and learning English
as a Foreign Language Communicative method has proved their superiority asthrough communicative activities more language are used and students’ initiativesand active involvement are developed It can be said that communicative approach
is designed to change the traditional way of presenting and practising language and
it helps to shift the teacher-led classroom culture to the students-centred classroomatmosphere
Games and communicative activities have widely used in my context(training teachers of English at Nghe An Continuing Education Centre) with theacceptance, eagerness and enthusiasm by teachers and students It, however, is theone requiring much knowledge and preparation as well as physical conditions, and
it also requires teachers’ commitment and patience
We have been trying to put some of those into practice We have beenadapting and designing ourselves a repertoire of communicative activities whichhave been used and from which students have benefited
We would like, in this paper, to introduce these games and activities to youall - teachers of English in a view of sharing experience and seeking for commonthoughts to makes a change, however small it is, in teaching and learning Englishthough it is hard work really The games and activities have been used for teachingpublic speaking and developing language skills and we shall not categorise them assome of them can be used for all about mentioned purposes Some of activities wehave adapted from other resources, and others we have designed ourselves
Public speaking courses have been successfully organised at Nghe Ancontinuing Education Centre over the last four years A great deal of younglearners have been taking part in and quite many of them have made improvement

I Literature Review
1 A Public Speaking Definition
What is public speaking? Basically, it's a presentation that's given livebefore an audience Public speeches can cover a wide variety of different topics.The goal of the speech may be to educate, entertain, or influence the listeners.Often, visual aids in the form of an electronic slideshow are used to supplement thespeech and make it more interesting to the listeners
A public speaking presentation is different from an online presentationbecause the online presentation may be viewed or listened to at the viewer'sconvenience, while a public speech is typically limited to a specific time or place.Online presentations are often comprised of slideshows or pre-recorded videos of aspeaker
There are five elements of public speaking, and it basically boils down towho is saying what to whom using what medium with what effect In other
words, who is the source of the message What is the message itself Whom is the audience, while the medium is the actual delivery method and ending in the effect.
Think of the effect as the speaker's intent for the speech
Because public speaking is done before a live audience, there are somespecial factors the speaker needs to take into consideration We'll touch on thoseshortly, but first let's take a quick look at the history of public speaking
2 A History of Public Speaking
There's a good chance that there's been public speaking, in one form oranother, as long as there've been people But most academics and others involvedwith public speaking, including those at The Public Speaking Project, trace theorigins of modern public speaking back to ancient Greece and Rome Of course,those societies didn't have any of the electronic conveniences we've got today tohelp with public speaking (no slideshows) But they did have a need for publicspeaking and developed public speaking methods that are still studied today
The ancient Greeks, in particular, used public speaking primarily to praise
or persuade others At one point, all Greek citizens had the right to suggest oroppose laws during their assemblies, which resulted in a need for skilled publicspeakers Public speaking became a desirable skill and was taught Public speaking
in the time of the Greeks was called rhetoric Later, when Rome came to power,public speaking was used during the sessions of the governing body—the Romansenate The Romans adopted the public speaking rhetoric methods of the Greeks
In fact, most public speaking teachers of the time were Greek
Trang 5If you fast forward to modern times, what was known as the Latin style ofpublic speaking was popular in the U.S and Europe until the mid-20th century.After World War II, however, a less formal and more conversational style ofspeaking started to become popular Also, electronic tools became available toenhance public presentations Towards the end of the 20th century, those electronictools migrated to the computer and evolved into the computer software tools, such
as PowerPoint, that we know and use today
Even though today's public speeches are less formal, it's still important thatthey're well organized More on that later Now let's take a look at the importance
of public speaking
3 The Importance of Public Speaking
If you ask most people, they'll probably say they don't like publicspeaking They may even admit to being afraid of it, since fear of public speaking
is a very common fear Or they may just be shy or introverted For those reasons,many people avoid public speaking if they can If you're one of those people whoavoid public speaking, you're missing out
Over the years, public speaking has played a major role in education,government, and business Words have the power to inform, persuade, educate,and even entertain And the spoken word can be even more powerful than thewritten word in the hands of the right speaker
Whether you're a small business owner, a student, or just someone who'spassionate about something - you'll benefit if you improve your public speakingskills, both personally and professionally Some benefits to public speakinginclude:
Public speaking is especially important for businesses since they've got aneed to get their message before potential customers and market their business.Sales people and executives alike are often expected to have good public speakingskills To learn more about some of the benefits of public speaking, review thefollowing article:
4 What Are the Problems of Public Speaking?
Even though many people routinely give speeches or presentations forwork or school, they may still experience fear at the idea of having to stand in front
of others and talk Some speakers can become debilitated by thoughts of what tosay, how to keep the audience’s interest and how to calm nerves Much of the
Trang 6anxiety associated with public speaking can be minimized, however, if you payattention to overcoming the most common problems of public speaking.
Lack of ConfidenceLack Lack of Confidenceof Lack of ConfidenceConfidence
If you don't have confidence in yourself, you'll risk alienating the audience.Being obviously nervous is especially problematic because “when we are nervous,listeners are more likely to focus on negative vocal and visual cues,” says authorCheryl Hamilton in “Essentials of Public Speaking.” Allowing time to prepare andpractice beforehand helps speakers gain the sense of control necessary for theaudience to trust and believe the message
Lack of ConfidenceLack Lack of Confidenceof Lack of ConfidenceAttention Lack of Confidenceto Lack of ConfidenceAudience
Make sure you know the audience, or the presentation will beunsuccessful Researching their ages, culture, values and current level ofknowledge is essential to shaping the speech’s tone and content Failing to relatethe material to the audience, to maintain eye contact and to read their expressionscan negatively affect how your speech will be interpreted Explaining how thematerial benefits listeners personally and using anecdotes attracts the audience’sattention
Lack of ConfidenceLack Lack of Confidenceof Lack of ConfidenceOrganization
You can lose credibility by not spending enough time gathering andorganizing material Conducting research about the audience, topic and sources arepreliminary steps Arrange the information into an attention-getting introduction,craft a paragraph for each of the three most important points, follow them with aconclusion Attempting to speak on the fly invites disaster It's standard practice tocreate an outline or put information on note cards to refer to as you speak Thismethod helps both the speaker and audience stay on track
Lack of ConfidenceLack Lack of Confidenceof Lack of ConfidencePreparedness
Practice the speech in full before delivery Saying the words helps speakershear: where they are rushing words; where to improve word flow and voiceintonation; and how to project enthusiasm Using technology or other visualsbeforehand makes it possible to catch glitches that could otherwise disrupt theactual speaking event Rehearsal also improves familiarity with the material,enabling speakers to field questions and maintain credibility
Lack of ConfidenceLack Lack of Confidenceof Lack of ConfidenceTime Lack of ConfidenceManagement
Run through the speech to ensure it meets time requirements Manyspeakers run overtime because they have not adequately rehearsed and timed thedelivery of their material “If you are speaking for 10 minutes, rehearse for abouteight,” advise Ronald Adler and Jeanne Elmhorst in their book “Communication atWork: Principles and Practices for Business and Professions”
Trang 75 How to Become Better at Public Speaking
Okay, so now that you understand the benefits of public speaking, youmight be a little more interested Still, you might think it's not for you Maybe yougave a speech once and it didn't go well Maybe you're afraid of public speaking
Or maybe you think you don't have a natural ability for giving speeches
The truth is that public speaking is a skill It can be learned While somepeople may have more natural speaking ability than others, or a more pleasingvoice, or are more charismatic-anyone who can speak can learn to be a betterpublic speaker than they are right now It just takes some know-how and someeffort

of charisma, you won't give a good speech if your material isn't any good Thefollowing tutorials can help you learn to write better speeches:
5.2 Overcome the Fear of Speaking
Fear of public speaking is very real and can hold you back if you let it Ifyou don't feel confident when giving your speech, your listeners may pick up onthat, making your presentation less effective Fortunately, there are sometechniques that'll help most people manage their fear of public speaking andbecome more confident
First, let's tackle fear of public speaking The following tutorials list sometechniques you can use to overcome a fear of public speaking:
5.3 Practice the Speech

an important step to having an effective speech If you're in a rush, you may betempted to skip practicing your speech to save time While skipping practice mayseem like a good idea, it's really not
By practicing your speech not only do you improve your public speakingskills, but you also increase your familiarity with the presentation—making it more
Trang 8likely that your speech will go smoothly This tutorial includes a handy checklist tohelp you practice your speech (and other tips):
5.4 Give the Speech

at a specific place and time So, you've got some concerns about the speakingvenue that those who give online presentations don't have to worry about Somecommon concerns for public speakers include:
6 Why developing the confidence of public speaking is so important for children
The idea of public speaking is understandably daunting, having to win over
a bunch of strangers so it’s no wonder why most people stay away from it.However, the unfortunate thing for those individuals is that they miss out on theone skill that can positively change the direction of their journey and impact theirsuccess immensely, from securing a job or investors, to increasing sales andbuilding brand awareness
There are just countless reasons why you should consider thiscommunication technique and get into public speaking but here are my top 3:
Winning over the crowd
Public speaking is a great opportunity to win over a crowd Look at it thisway, the crowd you’re speaking to are in fact your potential clients It’s almost a
Trang 9make or break moment You have the chance to pretty much sell yourself Introduceyourself to the crowd so they can get to know you, build some sort of trust andcredibility with them Being able to persuade your audience that you are worth theinvestment and they should trust you by telling your personal story Public speaking
is a great avenue for this to happen, they see you live in action and you are able tocreate a deeper connection with your audience by applying story-telling secrets,tonality and more It provides the chance to express to a crowd why a particularproduct, service, idea or even yourself would be beneficial to them as well asallowing you to put potential customers at rest by touching on any enquiries orconcerns they might have You pretty much have the power to directly influencepeople to buy your product or service
To Motivate people
Great public speakers have the ability to push people to either dosomething, stop something, reach a goal or drop bad habits Platforms for publicspeaking makes room for this Being able to encourage your crowd to take an actionthrough testimonials or live figures of how your personal framework or techniquehas change your life and the life of your clients Seeing is believing, publicspeaking therefore is your chance to show your audience that making the specifiedchange or action in their lives is the right move to make As a public speaker, youneed to convey how passionate and driven you are, inspiring them to be driven intheir own personal endeavours also
To inform
I believe that public speaking is one of the best ways to get your messageacross Whilst other communication methods like social media marketing, ads andemail campaigns is effective, there’s no doubt that physical and personalcommunication is far more impactful in getting a message out there to a largeaudience This is why public speaking is a game changer It allows you to informpeople of who you are and/or what you are doing on a more personal and directlevel It is an opportunity for you to spark new interests and make people who had
no idea who the hell you are wonder how they survived their whole life without youthus far

1 Definition of input in second language learning
Input refers to the exposure learners have to authentic language in use.This can be from various sources, including the teacher, other learners, theenvironment around the learners and keeping them in our brain Input can becompared to intake, which is input then taken in and internalized by the learner so
it can be applied
Input learning consists of:
(input) So the way to improve is to feed your brain with a lot of input correct and understandable sentences (written or spoken) Before you canstart speaking and writing in a foreign language, your brain must get enoughcorrect sentences in that language
Trang 11-2 The role of inputs in second language learning
In language learning, input is the language data which the learner isexposed to There are many factors which influence the second languageacquisition The internal factors include the mental disposition of a learner, theaptitude, the ability to handle communication process and others The externalfactors, such as the conditions in which the learner operates might include the timeand the frequency available for the exposure to the target language, the quality ofthe samples of the target language which the learners are exposed to, in otherwords the input Input that learners receive in the learning process plays a veryimportant role in the language acquisition Learners need to be given theopportunity to make sense of what they hear or see, to notice the contexts in whichthe samples of the language are used, to interact with them as well as tocompensate for the insufficiency The importance of the input has been advocated
by a variety of learning theories In the second half of the 20th centurypsychologists, biologists, linguists and other researchers proposed that theacquisition process (represented by the language acquisition device) the same way
as any other biological function, works successfully only when stimulated at theright time – the time they called the Critical Period (Lightbown, Spada, 1999,p.19) They supported this hypothesis by several case studies (e.g a well-knownstory of Victor or Gennie), although it was difficult to support it by numerousexperiments since this research was based on the study of the first language AsLightbown and Spada (ibid., p.60) claim the "developmental changes in the brainaffect the nature of language acquisition … Language learning which occurs afterthe end of thecritical period may not be based on the innate biological structuresbelieved to contribute to first language acquisition or second language acquisition
in early childhood” In the natural setting learners are exposed to a variety oflanguage samples while they themselves do not necessarily have to contribute The
"passive" phase in which the child processes the language, reacts or does not react
to it, observes the linguistic or extra linguistic messages coming through, lasts formuch longer in the natural setting than we can afford in the formal instruction.That, however, does not mean that we should resign to the meaningfulness of thisprocess If children have a chance to be imbued with the target language, with theoptions of whether and how to react to it we simulate the natural conditions for thelanguage acquisition
On the whole, input is absolutely necessary and there is no theory orapproach to SLA that does not recognize the importance of input In Schwartz’sview (1993), the input feeds or nurtures an innate system to aid its growth Butinput alone cannot facilitate second language learning It will not function to thefull in SLA until it gets involved in interaction
