I Teaching experience’s title:

Efficently applying technology in making lesson plans and teaching English

II Scope of application:

This method has been applied to some recent periods in Dong Huongsecondary school

III Object of research:

Students of grade 6, 8 at Dong Huong secondary school

of examples presented here which suggest that practitioners are progressivelyusing various forms of technologies innovatively within the early years Theterm new or emerging technology includes communication techniques forlanguage teaching in which the internet, personal computers, social andcognitive robots, intelligent machines, and smart mobile devices play a key role.Each technical tool and device has its own advantage and applicationconforming to one of the four language skills (reading, speaking, listening, andwriting) However, in order to use these techniques successfully, both theESL/EFL students and instructors should be familiar with using computers, theinternet, intelligent social and cognitive robots and devices, and be capable ofsuccessfully interacting with them In addition to the instructor's role, the effect

of technology has become enormous in teaching and learning English language.

In fact, one can suggest that the role of instructor along with that of technologyhas led to advanced learning models in second language teaching andacquisition In many circumstances, it has been noticed that very young learnerswere exposed to a variety of technologies from an early age at home

As a teacher of English language at a school in a suburb area, I have beenalways trying to provide exhilarating lessons to my students Our classroomsnow are faciliated with projectors, wifi, multi-stereo system Thus, theapplication of this teaching method is completely possible to do Personally,over the past few years, I have achieved cherished results by using technology inmaking lesson plans and teaching English

II Description of the teaching experience:

1 Conventional method:

When teaching Warm up, I usually have students sing a song related tothe lesson to check if they have grasped the song or related to the new song tolead into the new song Sometimes, I have students play a game for 3 to 5minutes to cheer them up or lead on to a new lesson

When I teach dialogue texts in a textbook, I often rely on the textbook toteach that conversation in the conversation teaching process About the tapes ofconversation, I turn on the speaker for students to listen or I read for students toread along

When teaching vocabulary, I encourage students to take notes, read along,use flash cards

Teaching writing skills to students, I follow the instructions of theteacher's book, letting students write in books or in notebooks

Teaching listening activities, I rely entirely on the audio available on thedisc according to the student's book

A survey of grade 6A at Dong Huong secondary school about the abilities of 4skills in November of 2020 shows:

- Does not require much technology skills

- Students are familiar with traditional teaching way

* Cons:

- The teaching activities are not rich and diverse, so students arediscouraged and not interested in learning English

- Does not stimulate creativity in teaching and learning English

- Fails to catch up with the requirements of innovative teaching methods

to achieve effectiveness in teaching

2 A new solution:

Information technology is changing our habits every day in all areas ofour life, in which the application of IT in education is also the top concern andinvestment of today's society The application of IT helps teachers' teachingbecome softer, more professional and more effective All the basic applicationsand software mentioned below are a practical testament to what has been used atDong Huong secondary school: helping teachers not to be too strenuous toprepare teaching aids, provided equipment are maximized in use, students aremore active and active with what they learn in class and practice when they gohome, students in class are very excited and positive for being directly involved

in editing articles online for my friends Modern children love to interact withtechnology products so creating a learning environment with technology attractsthem more, more applications become the joy and expectation of them whencoming to class such as Kahoot software, Quizlet, Padlet, Soft books It is avery fun way for children to learn English, to improve their listening,pronunciation and interactive English skills

Here are some softwares, tools and utilities applied to teach different activities

in a lesson that I have used in teaching

2.1 Using Kahoot in the categories: Warm-up, Review or Consolidation:

Traditionally, I let students sing, play a game or want to create a set of questions

in the form of Multiple choice, T/ F statement, Short answer, to review oldlessons, practice or participate The contest of Ringing the golden bell duringextracurricular activities often uses Powerpoint presentations, Hotpotatosoftware , but usually takes a lot of time to compile; moreover, the interactionbetween teachers and students is not high; It is difficult for me to determinewhich student answers the fastest and most correctly, which student gets themost correct answers, at times need more support and supervision fromcolleagues, but the results are not necessarily the most objective

Kahoot software has helped me to create a complete questionnaire of the aboveformat with an unlimited number of questions but it does not take much time.More professionally, students taking the quiz to answer the questions score arecumulative and ranked from high to low after each question turn This makes iteasy for both teachers and students to identify which student answers the fastestand has the most correct answers; Students will know where they are and willtry harder in the next question More specifically, this software has a veryvibrant and prompting background sound design, making the opening activity of

a lesson very exciting and engaging or giving students a sense of nostalgia andanticipation Come to the next class after joining this game in the reinforcementactivity at the end of the unit

Example: After students have finished reading comprehension exercises Unit

10 / English 6 / such as highlighting the problem statements compared to the text

of the passage, I have students participate in the contest content related to theentire passage you have read with Kahoot software to quickly check once moreabout your understanding of this reading comprehension and create anatmosphere of excitement and excitement for you children before finishing thelesson

- There will be a swimming pool in front and a large flower garden behind the house.

- They will do the housework (clean the floors, cook meals, wash clothes, water

the flowers and feed the dogs and cats.)

First, we have to register

Choosing role Students are using devices that can access the internet such as desktop computers, smart phones, ipads, laptops, to access the link provided by the teacher, enter PIN, enter a name to participate in answering the question.

In general, after a period of using Kahoot in the Warm-up, review

or Consolidation teaching items, I found that the professionalquestionnaire and slideshow design, fast, saves a lot of time because thisapplication supports Support uploading pictures and sounds to composequestions, moreover I don't have to do too much activity like observingstudent results, I don't have to wait to see if all students have answered all

to press the results as usual do in Powerpoint because when all playershave selected questions, the system will automatically report the resultswithout having to wait for the time as I have set up for each questionbefore.

Using Kahoot helps the whole class or even more students join thegame at the same time because there is no limit to the number of players,teachers can hold Golden Bell or Little English contests duringextracurricular sessions at school At the same time, it encouragesstudents to try and make more effort to improve their position on therankings

The teacher can also apply this to design questions to test thelearners' ability to grasp the content of the training programs

2.2 Using Quizlet to teach vocabulary:

Usually to prepare for a teaching period before using Quizlet software, Iusually prepare pictures, real objects, print magnetic cards or compose

At a training programe conference

slideshows on Powerpoint software to teach pictures However, this also took

me a lot of time to compose articles on Powerpoint and prepare supplies

Is there a way to get the kit to teach vocabulary in the fastest, mosteffective way?

I have applied the Quizlet software to create and use a set of flash cards toteach vocabulary at the rate of 30 seconds for each word including words,meanings, illustrations and pronunciation

Example: To teach vocabulary about some career words like: a farmer, anurse, an engineer, a teacher, a doctor, a worker, I only need 2 minutes to enterwords English on the right column, find and select suitable pictures on the rightcolumn Click the Create button to create a set of vocabulary cards includingwords, illustrations and pronunciation for the words

Teachers can choose to show either single language or bilingual.

After teaching vocabulary, I give the students the link to this flashcard set

so that they can participate in activities such as word and word matching andpictures, and The corresponding definition is to test students' memorizationand understanding of vocabulary with Scatter cards created by software ontheir devices This software has a built-in timer, helping teachers compare the

speed between participating students.

+ In addition, students take the test with multiple choice exercises (M / C), T / F,circle, short answer online via the Test card This exercise helps students

develop skills in writing

Practice listening to the pronounced word and type the corresponding wordinto the box given through Speller card Students know whether they havedone it right or wrong because if they type in wrong words, the software willappear suggestions for students to look and type If correct, the student gets ascore.

+ The exercise of looking at pictures / meaning and rewriting words throughLearn cards, if wrong, the software will show the correct words for students tolook and type The system will statistic the number of correct / false sentences

When students enter wrong answers

- In addition, the software supports printing magnetic cards as PDF files

of different sizes in case of teaching at sub-schools without supporting teachingequipment

- With the use of supporting tools such as Quizlet, it saves me a lot of timeand money, making vocabulary teaching really professional, fast and attractshigh attention of students

- Students hear the correct pronunciation from a native reading voice, sothey will get used to the native speaker's voice when exposed

- Help students practice words they learned at home by themselves thanks

to the software features described above by following the link I give them inclass

2.3 USING DUOLINGO TO TEACH 4 SKILLS:

Supporting all 4 skills of language learning, in which Duolingo is dividedinto 2 modes including listening and slow speed listening to help learnersgradually calm down and increase their ability.The content of learning in theapplication is also analyzed into each lesson, each lesson must be completedbefore they can move on to the next lesson Duolingo helps users keep track oftheir learning progress and check themselves if they are eligible for the day

With the concept of learning and playing, Duolingo creates a comfortablelearning environment and does not force learners into any fixed form The wordswill be repeated many times in many different contexts, this increases thelearners' ability to memorize In addition, you have the opportunity to translateactual words in your language of study
