PART I: INTRODUCTION

1 Reasons for choosing topics

Researchers have statistically that, those who speak English well are morelikely to succeed in many fields of research and career advancement Especially

in the era of the 4.0 revolution that is taking place today, English in particularand other popular languages such as Japanese, French, Chinese, Korean play

an even more important role in our life… English is the official language ofmore than 53 countries and territories, the official language of the EU and is the3rd most spoken language in the world after China and Spain (due to differences

in population nation) It can be said that English has become a global languageand is like a travel ticket, a bridge to help you easily get a stable job with ahigher salary Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training hasintroduced English into Vietnam's education program right from the primarylevel However, the ability of Vietnamese students to continue teaching inEnglish is still not proficient, not commensurate with that of other subjects.Especially, students in schools located in difficult economic areas, students inremote and isolated areas, with low educational conditions, and limited learningand communication conditions are not aware of the important to learning,especially English Since then, the quality of teaching and learning English inmountainous areas in recent years has remained low The thought of creating acommunication environment for students to practice is a necessary method toimprove their language learning ability However, class time is limited with a lot

of knowledge content and a large number of students, so doing extracurricularsessions both enhances the spirit of the subject and reinforces the amount ofknowledge in the classroom and creates Comfortable gas to communicate isextremely helpful for overcoming the above difficulties In order to improve theeffectiveness of English teaching in high schools and practice communication

skills for students, I chose the topic Experience initiative: “Some

extracurricular activities to stimulate the spirit and motivation for students with English subject in the mountainous region”

2 Objective:

4 Subject of study:

System of basic and specialized knowledge of "language skills" in English 11-12

10 The documents on extracurricular activities in learning, developingcommunication skills, developing thinking, improving knowledge of the subject

as well as society

- Methods of designing extracurricular activities in teaching and learning aboutEnglish reading comprehension, listening, speaking, grammar skills 10, 11 and12

5 Object:

- English 10, 11 and 12 in high school

6 Research method:

- Use the form of conversation with teachers and students to investigate teachingand learning to attract high school students' excitement as well as the application

of extracurricular activities

- Conducting research on relevant documents to serve as a theoretical andpractical basis for the topic

- Find out information on books, newspapers, internet

7 Experimental method of pedagogy:

7.1 Purpose:

Pedagogical experiment to test and evaluate the feasibility andeffectiveness of organizing extra-curricular activities for English subjects inteaching and learning English at general level, from which to draw correctivemeasures suitable to promote the effects of extracurricular activities

7.2 Prepare:

- Send content of extracurricular activities to instructors for review and editing

- Ask for permission from the school and teachers about the experiment

Experimental group: when teaching experiment using extracurricular activities

to consolidate knowledge, check old lessons for students

Control group: when teaching the control, do not use extracurricular activities,but only use common questions to reinforce and check old lessons

7.6 Check:

After teaching each lesson, it will test the quality of memorization andthe ability of students to apply knowledge of both groups on the same test Afterthat, scoring and comparing and analyzing results between experimental andcontrol groups

8 Purpose of writing experience initiatives:

In order to help students to overcome difficulties in learning foreignlanguages effectively, I have tried to explore and study the written materialsabout methods, plus practical experiences in the teaching process I have drawnsome interesting experiences in teaching method and created excitement forstudents about English I hope my experience will be a small document for mycolleagues' reference.

“The lessons are very interesting; the exciting extracurricular activitiesmake students excited to learn English Extracurricular activities are a goodopportunity for students to apply English in practice and also an opportunity forteachers to recognize each child's ability in class”

With the guideline "Learning is must be used", applying teaching andlearning methods applied Because of that, we must create opportunities forstudents so that they can apply whatever practice they have To attract thechildren, teachers must prepare activities that have practical meaning andattractiveness Most of our students learn but cannot use it, because they do nothave a broad vision, they themselves do not realize the importance of Englishfor future work

PART II: CONTENT Chapter I: LITERATURE OVERVIEW

on these activities in essays and interviews, the following factors need to beachieved:

- Students' enthusiasm and passion

- The maturity and character development of students through each challengingjourney of the activity

- Leadership quality, dynamic, brave to promote your own ideas and teamwork

- The long-term, persistent commitment of students to grow and contribute toeach activity

I.2 Research situation and organization of "Extracurricular activities" in Vietnam

Extracurricular activities play an important role in reinforcingknowledge, adding skills and life experiences to students, helping students

become holistic people However, over the past years, extracurricular activities

in high schools have not yielded high results

The reason is that extracurricular activities in high schools are still notattractive and lively, the concept is still heavy on internal activities, and light onextracurricular activities This is often seen as a recreational activity Most areorganized in the form of a cultural program, inconsistent on the topic, and littleattention is paid to the content of the subject's learning

Teachers are often the ones who always focus on their professionalwork Therefore, experience in organizing extracurricular activities is stilllimited, the content and form of extracurricular activities are repeated again andagain, students are boring, less participant, and effective outside activities high.The facilities of some high schools are in short supply, the area is small , doesnot meet the needs of extracurricular activities, so many schools have to say no

to extracurricular activities for students Despite knowing that the need forextracurricular activities is extremely urgent, students enjoy it very much

Reality requires the school to establish clubs, especially specializedclubs of each team to attract students to join Thereby, students can explore theirabilities in many subjects, many fields and then choose their favorite subject

In addition to the extracurricular educational activities which are conducted eachmonth of the year, the Moet should include small activities in programdistribution into one large activity and in particular this should be considered anactivity annual, in the professional management at high schools In this way,extracurricular activities in high schools can be maintained regularly andeffectively

II Theoretical basis of the topic

II.1 Learning 'Extracurricular activities'.

In order to improve the teaching quality of the subject, recently, onresearch forums, conferences, seminars, people have discussed a lot about theissue of innovative teaching methods The pressing concern for those whodirectly teach at high schools is how to promote students' creative initiative,improve the effectiveness of aesthetic education, and arouse passion andexcitement learning subjects in the present situation

To deal with the above situation, it is necessary to combine innovative teachingmethods in both formal and extracurricular activities, but first of all, there must

be a correct concept of the importance and meaning of extracurricular activities

Extracurricular activities under the concept of innovative teachingmethods is a form of active, useful and effective self-study, connecting thepodium with real life, expanding, extending the school of thinking - evaluation.about lessons for students; promote the activeness and creativity of learners, re-check the quality of teaching in regular hours Extracurricular activities,therefore, are both educational and aesthetic activities, "Contributing to creating

a cultural lifestyle and the ability to enjoy cultural arts for students Throughextracurricular activities, students develop a balanced intellectual, ethical,

physical education and aesthetic appeal "(Phan Trong Comment, TeachingMethodology National University Publishing House 1996, page 381)

II.2 Effects of extracurricular activities.

Through outdoor games and group discussions, students will practiceleadership skills, including vision and goal skills, team motivation, projectplanning, and intentions Patience to overcome challenges More importantly,the sharing sessions of the siblings about how to pursue and createextracurricular activities will help students after the shaping program start theirown activities from

Therefore, while a parent or student may find extracurricular activities,

if the above factors are not met, it will be difficult for the student to be “special”

to his or her abilities

Following up the process of renewing teaching methods in high schools

in recent years, the innovative content often focuses on regular hours, while theextra-curricular form is less focused on implementation Is the student's after-school activities unimportant, and does not play a role in improving the quality

of teaching and learning the subject? It is time to redefine the position and role

of extracurricular activities, highly promote creativity, dynamism and interest ofstudents

II.3 Theoretical basis

Foreign language is one of the language skills in communicating Likethe skills to learn Vietnamese when you were a child, because the language that

is absorbed through listening is speech Learning from the lessons in thetextbook for a year will be boring and stressful When teaching the content intextbooks, teachers often have to logically follow the order of the curriculumcontent, orderly as prescribed by the Ministry of Education; Teaching andlearning between teachers and students is repeated throughout the school year

To create a new atmosphere, a new space, we must change the space and timefor them, so that they have the opportunity to think freely, out of the pressure oflearning.That's why I have boldly created some extra-curricular lessons in onesemester Extracurricular lessons by teachers take the initiative in time and spacefor students, depending on the convenient location of the school Furthermore,when participating in the extracurricular course, they will help them be moreactive and bolder Just doing it 2-3 times per semester also helps students enjoylearning English, giving them a chance to apply what they have gained in class.Therefore, when teaching foreign languages, in addition to general tips thatapply to receptive skills, teachers also need to have specific tips for students'extracurricular activities

To have a quality extracurricular activity, teachers need to implementthe following basic teaching tips:

II.3.1 Clearly defined for students to understand English language extracurricular learning.

Why is learning English so difficult?

When students learn, teachers impart knowledge, they are used to justlearning grammar to do homework In addition, teachers also emphasizeexpressing language through exercises, so forming a habit that can be difficult tochange in language learning Therefore, learning a foreign language becomesmore difficult When studying, students face the following challenges:

- Can't control the amount of language themselves

- Improve literacy skills to participate in exams

- The lesson has many new words, lazy to study

- Do not pay attention to pronunciation, intonation, tone

Students who do not listen and speak often will not recognize words they know

All high schools want to create a diverse and rich environment, theyalso value learning outside the classroom (from the environment and thesurrounding community) as learning in the classroom As a result, they needstudents with a variety of extracurricular interests and activities to contribute tohundreds of school clubs and programs On the other hand, it is these well-rounded students who will make best use of college opportunities to mature notonly academically but also socially, culturally and personality

Extracurricular activities are activities outside of the formal curriculum,often of a voluntary rather than compulsory nature You can participate inextracurricular activities in class / school or in society with many differentoptions: Sports, Culture, Art, Volunteering, Organization Extracurricularactivities play an important role in adding your skills and life experiences tohelp you become a more inclusive and enjoyable person Extracurricularactivities of the English subject are not easy, teachers must prepare many visualtools to help stimulate students' curiosity and interest in this subject

II.3.2 Measures to create an effective English extra-curricular activity:

- Let students choose the topic or content that is limited by the teacher Thisbrings the students attention to the topic and interests the students about thelesson

- Introduce topics, contexts, situations, and related content in the session:explore what students already know and don't know about the topic's content,elicit curiosity, create excitement about the topic the article is about to discuss

- Explain some necessary words and structures: however, it is not necessary tointroduce all new words, so let students guess the meaning of words in context

If the student does not understand the meaning of the word, I will explain it bydefinition or by example

- Prepare the specific requirements, tasks and roles of each extracurricularactivity

- When conducting activities, using visual aids, pictures, illustrations, movies,music or playing the character of a story attached will support very well forclarifying context, suggesting discussion content Pictures are a means of testingstudents' understanding

- Conduct in three phases: before, during and after the extracurricular activities.Divide the process into steps: for example, watching a video clip depending onthe topic, I divided the process into three parts

+ Discuss main ideas, answer instructional questions, compare predictions

+ See details of that video

+ Discuss as per my request about the clip just about

- Elicit the differences in answers of pairs and groups and compare the resultsand discuss after responses

- Ensuring the quality of the meeting

+ Radio tapes, projectors with good quality images

+ Teachers operate with average speed, correct pronunciation, and detailedinstructions

II.3.3 Types of extracurricular activities.
