To help elementary school students get used to and love English for the first time.. So the teacher must give them the passion and interest in learning to simplify the content so that it

1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Reason to choose the topic.

Vietnamese society is growing day by day, going up on par with other countries in the world To keep up with the times, to keep up with human civilization, it is necessary for the younger generation to have intellectuals and knowledge to study and research in the fields of science, sociology, economics One important means to help the younger generation is knowing foreign languages Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam has been continuously improving the quality of teaching and learning foreign languages through comprehensive innovation At the beginning of the school year, Thanh Hoa Department of Education and Training, Thanh Hoa Department of Education and Training sent a letter requesting the implementation of the project "Teaching and learning foreign languages in the national education system in the period of 2008-" 2020 ”according to Decision No

1400 / QD-TTg dated September 30, 2008 of the Prime Minister Implementing the pilot of intensive English teaching in grades 3, 4, 5(4 periods / 1 week) in most of the primary schools in Thanh Hoa city

Therefore, English is now an almost compulsory subject in elementary school It

is no longer new and strange for students, this subject has received the attention of parents and students, and they have felt the need of the subject when applied in practice life and economic - social fields Therefore, every elementary school student who is good at English is not only communicating and teaching according to the materials available in textbooks, instruction manuals but also need to innovate teaching methods students' activism and initiative are student-centered Therefore, teachers have to inspire their learning by engaging them in learning activities, helping them acquire knowledge and ability to use language in communication in a way easily, consolidating and inculcating knowledge firmly, giving them the passion and interest in learning In the trend of global integration of society today, it is very necessary to equip yourself with a good knowledge of foreign languages, especially English Learning Language is very popular not only with working people, having to use foreign languages to communicate at work but it is also very necessary for elementary students, who will soon be employers of the country With the above situation, each student must from now on equip themselves with a basic foreign language knowledge suitable for the grade and grade level.With such a particularly important and necessary role, however, learning Foreign language of students is not really focused and not uniform among regions, between students Many students are indifferent, dislike the subject The majority of students' psychology is afraid of each

subject The number of weak students in the subject is always high As a primary school teacher, who teaches English directly, he has been teaching for nearly 18 years During the years of work assigned by the school administration to teach in all grades from grade 1 to grade 5 When teaching each grade myself, I have difficulties but my heart I love the profession and love, I have explored learning from my colleagues, friends, on newspapers and the mass media to overcome Looking back on my teaching history over the past few years, one of the classes that I initially thought would be the easiest to perform my professional work with the least difficulty on the contrary, I had a lot of difficulties: It was grade 5 I was thinking about the bad academic results of the students myself I thought and found many methods and tricks during the teaching process I taught myself and with my colleagues' suggestions, I finally overcame difficulties, but one of the ways I found most effective was “Some

experience to organize games for grade 5 efficency”

1.2 Objectives and tasks of the topic.

In recent years, education has focused on promoting innovation of content and teaching directions Implement effectively foreign language teaching under the new program Organizing teaching in the direction of activities, promoting students' activeness, initiative and creativity

English is an independent subject, unlike other subjects Because outside of class time, the children receive little tutoring or support from the family Primary school students are students aged 6 to 11 years old The children are young, their bodies are

in a period of change, their temperament is also changing, they like to learn the unknown but they also quickly forget, quickly get bored, easily lose concentration, leading to not wanting to learn

So for elementary students to absorb and remember well what they have learned in class, they must be excited and love the subject Especially in English, in addition to remembering the meaning of words, they also have to remember the sentence structure, remember how to read and remember the characters in the words they have learned That is why they think that learning English is a difficult task for them, causing them to be frightened, afraid to speak and afraid to be wrong They lack confidence in their abilities and they have many difficulties in learning To help elementary school students get used to and love English for the first time So the teacher must give them the passion and interest in learning to simplify the content so that it is suitable for elementary school age, giving them a lively and fun learning atmosphere Looked and excited, actively actively creative in learning To do this, the teacher must play the role of a facilitator and guide to help them absorb quickly and

remember long That's why I have incorporated games into my lecture to help students

be more interested in English lessons

In the 2020-2021 school year, I have applied a number of methods to help students remember vocabulary as well as the method of using visual aids, the method of using games and they have a capital Rich knowledge of vocabulary In the course of such teaching and applying, I find that:

- "Games" is an activity that children enjoy the most

- The games have rich content, use interesting and useful language to suit their perception When we offer games in an English class on a regular and scientific basis, the quality of teaching English will certainly increase That is why I have chosen this experience initiative

1.3 Research subjects.

The school year 2020-2021 is assigned by the school management to teach grade 5 English, I choose 5C class and 5th grade textbook as the subject of my research

1.4 Limited scope of research.

- Students: 5C in Dien Bien 1 Primary School

- Duration: From September 2020 to the end of April 2021

- Documents: Textbooks, teachers’ books, game materials

1.5 Research Methods.

In order to conduct research on this topic, I have read, explored and referenced a number of materials that refer to games After research, find out and draw conclusions

to see which games are suitable for the age of elementary school students I organize and conduct use of the games during my teaching hours In addition, I also exchanged ideas with colleagues about the purpose, how to organize the games in the most scientific way Finally, review the lessons learned and suggest appropriate play and rules for elementary students

First semester of 2020-2021: Studying the situation of class as well as psychology

of students combining suitable games for each type of lesson

Second term of school year 2020-2021: Continue to implement ideas and surveys to collect feedback from students and through the test results of the subject at the end of the semester compared with each other to verify the effectiveness of Change teaching methods Summarizing the process of testing new methods, discovering positives and limitations, thereby elaborating the detailed outline of the topic and proceeding to write into experiences

2 CONTENT 2.1 Rationale.

For many years now, since the beginning of education reform, the teaching method has changed a lot Education Law - 2005 (Article 5) stipulates that "education methods must promote positive, self-conscious, proactive, creative thinking of learners, fostering learners with self-studying ability and real ability Onions, passion for learning and the will to rise up” Student-centered learning has been applied to promote student activism in the learning process From this aroused a movement to improve teaching methods among teachers The previous method of literacy in the teaching process has been excluded even being heavily criticized There are many new teaching methods that teachers have applied such as for students to work in pairs

to practice as well as discuss to explore discovering a problem in learning Learning

in the form of games has also been applied by many teachers

In 2008, the Ministry of Education also launched the movement "Building friendly schools, active students" to educational units across the country, From this movement,

to build a happy atmosphere in In the classroom, in teaching subjects in general, especially in English, teachers have promoted the combination of many games in their teaching process

The project "Teaching and learning foreign languages" in the national education

system was approved by the Prime Minister in 2008 Especially in this project, teaching and learning English is extremely important, especially the Teaching for teenagers and children There are 6 golden rules in teaching English to children and teenagers, who are young, to teach and learn English effectively One of those principles is: Play more than teach In this principle, the class teacher may not follow

a certain lesson plan but the main idea is to create a diversified, colorful playground in English for students Master the playground and gradually master the various activities

2.2 Reality.

Through the process of directly teaching the 5C class, through the self-survey results of the students' academic results over the recent school year, compared with the results of other classes, I see the percentage of students who are weak of the 5C class is usually much higher than other classes Wondering about such a situation, I conducted a student survey and directly discussed with the students in my class to teach and conducted a student quality survey to find out what Basic reason of the above situation

* Poll content: (After 4 weeks at the beginning of the new school year)

Please cross it to the column that suits you:

Question

s

Content of questions Yes No

1 Do you like to study English?

2 Are you afraid of this subject?

3 Did you find it boring to study this subject?

4 Do you feel less fear and less learning pressure when

teachers apply games during teaching?

5 Do checking new invitations and structures frighten

me?

* Results of the survey of 40 students in 5C in school year 2020 - 2021 are:

Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No

Rate % 67,

The results of the survey of 5C students show that: Most of the students starting to get familiar with this subject are not interested in the subject because they do not understand the lesson leading to the subject, pale The main reason why students dislike the subject is because they have to be afraid to study it because they have to memorize new words and new structures

* The results of the quality survey show that the number of weak students in the 5C English course is very high, accounting for 22/40 = 55%

In order to reduce the fear of having to study this subject, which leads to poor student achievement, and to reduce the stress and pressure in every English lesson, I have boldly incorporated the games in the part of the lesson that I have learned through my own knowledge, through learning from my friends and colleagues and on the mass media, mainly through English-language Web sites

2.3 Solutions and measures.

a Objective of solutions and measures.

In recent years, education has focused on promoting innovation of content and teaching directions Implement effectively foreign language teaching under the new program Organizing teaching in the direction of activities, promoting students' activeness, initiative and creativity English is an independent subject, unlike other subjects Because outside of class time, the children receive little tutoring or support from the family Primary school students are students aged 6 to 11 years old Young children, their bodies are in a period of change, their temperament is also changing, they like to learn the unknown but they also quickly forget, quickly get bored, easily lose concentration, leading to not wanting to learn Elementary students who acquire and remember well what they have learned in class must be excited and enjoy the subject Especially in English, in addition to remembering the meaning of words, they also have to remember the sentence structure, remember how to read and remember the characters in the words they have learned That is why they think that learning English is a difficult task for them, causing them to be frightened, afraid to speak and afraid to be wrong They lack confidence in their abilities and they have many difficulties in learning

To help elementary school students get used to and love English for the first time So the teacher must give them the passion and interest in learning to simplify the content

so that it is suitable for elementary school age, giving them a lively and fun learning atmosphere Looked and excited, actively actively creative in learning To do this, the teacher must play the role of a facilitator and guide to help them absorb quickly and remember long

That's why I have incorporated games into my lecture to help students be more interested in English lessons

b Content and implementation of solutions and measures.

Play is an activity whose motivation is in the process of the game itself, not in the outcome of the game Games are a popular type of play, according to the rules of the game The game itself is the rules that define the purpose, results and requirements of the game action, the rules of the game must be clear A learning game is a game whose rules include the rules associated with internal using the lesson, helping students exploit their own experience to play Through play, students can apply the knowledge and skills they learned in the situation of the game Therefore, students can practice strengthening, expand knowledge and skills they have learned As such,

the study skills of English are incorporated into the game It can be said: Play is an essential need for elementary school students, it is important as eating, sleeping, studying in their lives That's why they always find ways and take advantage of time

in all conditions to play Being able to play, they will participate in a very self-conscious and active manner, when playing, they will show affection very clearly, like the joy of winning and sadness of failure Glad to see the teammates complete the mission, the students themselves feel sorry for not being able to do their tasks well Because of the collective, they overcome difficulties and strive their best to bring the victory to the team, including themselves This is the very high emulation characteristic of the games, students often use their full strength, focus attention, intelligence and creativity student activities, helping students acquire knowledge voluntarily and positively Help students train, consolidate knowledge and develop experience gained through play Learning games train skills, techniques, promote intellectual activities, thanks to the use of learning games, the teaching process becomes a fun activity but still more attractive, more diverse opportunities for activities , the game is not only a medium but also an educational method

Some games in English lessons in elementary school:

The teacher suggests the number of words to guess by the number of dashes on the board

Eg: HEADACHE Ask students to guess with the words in the word If the student guesses incorrectly, the teacher makes 1 brick (according to the order in the picture) If the student guesses wrong 8 times then loses, the teacher answers the word According to the general implementation steps as above, this game has no competition between the two teams Therefore, during the implementation, most of the teachers have modified

a bit to increase the appeal for the game For example, the teacher could divide the class into 2 teams and the teacher would prepare 2 different word groups for the 2 teams, the team with the more answers would win that team Alternatively, the teacher could divide the class into 4 teams, giving the teams a choice of words and puzzles (team 1 on team 2; team 2 on team 3; team 3 on team 4; team 4 on team 1)

Having students fill the game themselves is also a way to increase student autonomy while reducing the workload for teachers in the classroom Divide the class into 2 or 3 teams and label each team under the gallows that the teacher drew on the board What

is the topic topic for the teacher today? Tell students to look for a 5-letter word, and then have one volunteer go to the board to write down the word and read it aloud to the class Continuing the second series, each team chooses a volunteer to write on the board the words they find according to the number of letters the teacher asks

- Game rules: Must find the right word with the required number of letters and spelled correctly, the wrong team will be written a stroke on the gallows of their team, if the wrong team in 8 times is lost Or the losing team is the team that completes a completed person on the gallows first
