3 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 13

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Reasons for choosing topic:

In recent years, the Ministry of Education and Training has put the 7-year English textbook program into synchronous implementation in high schools across the country, in order to meet the new practical needs today Each unit is compiled in five basic sections:

Part A: Reading

Part B: Speaking

Part C: Listening

Part D: Writing

Part E: Language focus

Through the teaching process, we can clearly see that in the parts of practicing skills, the book has designed practice activities that are relatively reasonable and clear, making it easy for both teachers and students to grasp their

tasks through each specific task in the textbook.

However, after many years of teaching, I realized that the organization of

teaching listening lessons in the high school program has been facing many

difficulties and problems That students participating in these classes are not natural, and passive makes the class boring and lacks depth Usually, this class is taught in a perfunctory way without effective communication and skill training Therefore, the practice of language in this skill in a large number of students is still low and uneven

2020-2021 school year, I was assigned to teach in grade 10 I myself has

tried to learn and explore ways to teach listening part more effectively, especially the listening part in class 10(basic) How to make activities to practice the knowledge and skills of the listening lesson simple, easy to practice,

easy to remember, and highly communicative is what I personally, a teacher who directly teaches in class always think of Therefore, in this experience initiative,

I want to share with my colleagues :

"Some practice activities help students practise listening skills of English 10 program (basic) effectively".

1.2 Purpose of the topic:

-In this initiative, I want to find a simple and effective way to teach listening comprehension in the 10th textbook program

- Outline some typical activities applied to 10th grade listening comprehension in order to improve students' listening comprehension ability in particular and improve the quality of English teaching in general

1.3.Research object

This study focuses mainly on students' interest in learning the listening section and provides activities to help students practice effectively listening skills of the English 10 program (basic)

1.4 Research Methods.

Methods to build the theoretical basis: Learn the reality of the problem then find out the solutions to solve the problem

Methods actual survey, gathering information:Distributing questionnaires learning attitude of students towards subjects in English before performing the subject Then gather information to grasp the spirit of their learning

Statistical methods, data processing: After applying the theme will be the result statistics about the level of student progress to evaluate the success of your project

1.5 New points of the experience initiative.

In this experience initiative, I have developed appropriate practice activities that are superior to existing textbook activities to help students easily understand the content of the lesson through specific practice in each lesson of listening comprehension skills

2 CONTENTS OF THE STUDY

2.1 Rationale of the study

Vietnam is on the development and international integration Thus, English is a powerful tool with requisite strength Also for that reason that English is seen as a major subject in the high school level The teaching and learning English has many ways and many different conditions, but are focused

on the development of creative dynamism, the activeness of students in order to make it possible to identify and resolve their problems

In fact, the ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, especially listening skills of students are facing many difficulties, especially when listening to foreigners in person or through listening videos or tapes Because communication is the favorable conditions to stimulate the use of foreign language learners to achieve the most effective However, listening skills are sometimes forgotten by us only through the assessment language proficiency, knowledge is not measured by the ability to use language Therefore, we must pay attention a lot to the skills to equip students the ability

to communicate confidently, fluently To do this, teachers need to organize attractive learning environment in order to attract more students to participate Do these, students will be more confident and more boldly to communicate in a foreign language later

2.2 Current status of the problem before applying the study

2.2.1 For students:

To know exactly about their interest in learning English and whether they like listening lessons or not? I distributed the questionnaire a with

90 students in 2 classes 10 A1 and 10A7 The survey form is as follows:

Please tick your choice

1 Do you like or dislike studying English?

Like very much

Like

Normal

Dislike

2 Do you like to study listening lessons ?

Like very much

Like

Normal

Dislike

3 Why do you like (don't like) listening class ?

………

Thank you for your cooperation!

I get the following results:

Total Like very much Like Normal Dislike

Before applying

the theme 10 11.1 15 16.7 25 27.8 40 44.4

From the above results, I found that: Most students are not interested in learning English in general and listening class in particular Most students think that English is a difficult subject, most of them are afraid to learn this subject The number of students with knowledge and skills is very small They also think that listening lessons are just for fun because their ability to practice language is not noticed as soon as they begin to approach English They also think that, in fact, this course is not an exam, so they don't need to pay much attention Besides, the types of practice activities of textbooks are not only very difficult but also poor, boring and monotonous These lessons are often boring, very few students participate Because of the above reasons, they are very passive in lessons, uninterested and ineffective

Besides, the high school that I am teaching is a school located in a rural area, with many economic difficulties and a sparsely populated area The main income of the people is based on agriculture, so the investment in children's education has not been paid much attention by parents Therefore, students face many difficulties in learning, even they do not have enough materials for learning

2.2.2 For teachers:

Most English teachers clearly realize that teaching listening skills is

important, but in reality when teaching the listening part, especially the part of

the English 10 (basic) program, they all realize that: They are very painful at the

beginning of a listening period for the following reasons:

The number of students in a regular classroom in our country

is currently 45 students With such a large number of students, to organize an effective listening lesson, the teacher must work very hard and cannot control all the activities of the students

In addition, the listening activities offered by the basic English 10 program are not very suitable for students, there are many book activities that are too difficult, and there are activities that are too easy for students' level Therefore, these classes only focus on a few students who have listening skills, the rest of the students just want the class to pass quickly because they don't understand anything

2.3 Some practice activities help students practise listening skills of English
