A THE OPENING:

I Reason for choosing the subject:

The grower the society becomes, the more educators, parents are aware of the importance of learning a foreign language in general, especially learning English in particular

English is an important key for young generation to open the future, the needed site to step out into the world and serve their future career It also a means for today young generation to exchange, learn with young people in all over the world Study about the customs, traditions, cultures as well as the progress of science and technology of many countries

According to the innovative method, English is no longer taught grammar but concerned more about the communication which is the main purpose in learning English Learn English in order to communicate with foreigners

However, in the four skills in English, the listening skill must be said the most difficult In fact, most students are not interested in learning listening skill

As a perennial English teacher, exposed to many students in many different locations, I really worry about the quality of learning English in general, how students learn English listening skill in particular So with the passion for my job, desire to learn, I'm researching solutions to improve the quality of learning English, especially the method of causing the excitement for students in learning listening skill

So how to help students-especially the last level-9 graders can apply vocabulary and grammatical structure to listening effectively? How to teach listening to every school pupil to help they feel fascinated and loved the subject more? How to find some positive, simple, easy to understand, practical

methods? That’s the reason why I choose the topic: "A number of tips to make

excitement in listening English skills for students in grade 9 of Dong Minh secondary school"

III.The scope of research:

The subject of initiatives this experience revolves around the study of the teaching and learning English listening courses of teachers and students in class 9A at Dong Minh secondary school

IV Research methods:

1 The method of observation

2 The method of Exchange, discussion:

3 Experimental methods:

4 Methods of investigation

B THE CONTENT OF THE INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE

I Basis of issue:

English language teaching and learning is not just about "learning to learn", which is to be thinking, there is depth We not only aim to achieve significant grammar but also aim to reach and develop skills to use that language

Grasp the essence of communication and be able to communicate as needed is what we desire LISTENING skill is considered as a more passive skill, and listening skill is often harder than reading skill in a language, through listening is the speech which has characteristics quite different from text

II.The reality of the problem:

English is a difficult subject with the volume of knowledge and in the process of hearing so the students do not control things that they will hear Words in the tape are very fast and unfamiliar Listening post has many new words, word accent, accent was negative sentences, linking words, intonation which are very different and difficult so students can not understand the article content

1 Purpose of teaching:

The purpose of language teaching is not to provide students with knowledge of the language, but the ultimate purpose of teaching English in general and English in particular is to teach students the ability to communicate

in English Students' communication skills are demonstrated through the following skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing English listening skills of students are formed through a learning process in the English language

In addition to studying at school, students must learn to train themselves through various forms and methods

Listening skills are the ability to use language knowledge for the purpose

of listening comprehension in English

2 The fundamental factors directly affect the effectiveness of listening: 2.1: Teachers:

- With the new teaching method, the teachers play the role of directing and controlling the students in the classroom

- In order to conduct an effective listening lesson, teachers should implement the following basic elements:

+ Select and use flexible teaching techniques appropriate to each lesson content

+ Organizing, controlling classes, distributing reasonable time

+ Proficient use of equipment, teaching aids for listening

+ Creation of teaching aids suitable for teaching

+ Inspirational, attractive, attractive students

2.2: Method - teaching technique (Listening Techniques):

- Listening techniques are taught by listening content, in other words, the content of the listening lesson governs the choice, use of the combination of methods and techniques of listening Each teaching technique is suitable for a specific teaching style (grammar, speech, writing )

2.3: Equipment and teaching aids for listening instruction:

- The use of pictorial assisted instruction for foreign languages in general and English in particular is considered a means of expressing part of the main content of the textbook In all new textbook units, the content of the text is recorded in the cassette tape, while the textbook only prints the listening exercises To perform these listening exercises, the learners must listen to the contents of the lesson Moreover, teaching aids is also an active means of innovating teaching methods, motivating and motivating learning

* Equipment required for the course:

- Transceiver cassettes

- Voice recorder for reading and listening to textbooks

- Pictures illustrating the content of the textbook

- Self-made stationery pictures

2.4: Students:

In the relationship between teaching and learning: Teachers are the organizers, directing students to self-control their knowledge by their own actions, their own intellectual actions in the role of controlling the teacher member

For good listening practice, students need to have the necessary skills in

listening comprehension in English

2.5:Teaching aids:

- There are too many teaching materials for teaching, some missing: pictures, photos, tapes, casstte

- The quality of tape is not good, voice is not clear, noise is high

3 Specific investigation:

In the process of teaching, I personally take 9A class with a sense of studying the characteristics of the students’ learning situation, the students have learned From the beginning of the school year, I have directed myself to a specific plan and methodology to actively investigate the learning situation of

the students in my classes Through the investigation, I realized that most of the vocabulary is unlikely, and English listening and communication skills are limited The results of the survey are as follows:

Total Mark 0-3

%

Mark 4-5 %

Mark6-8 %

Mark 9-10 %

The reasons for this are:

- Foreign language is a difficult subject, especially listening skills, the children are not self-learning, so the results are not high

- They also speak a lot of local languages, so the practice of listening skills is very difficult How can we excite children in these classes?

In the face of reality as well as in the teaching and learning English of teachers and pupils of Dong Minh Secondary School for better work, I strongly improve the method of teaching from listening with the desire to help children learn They not only learn the language through communication but also learn more about the grammatical structures that they learn in lessons Applying this method, I have achieved quite high results, most of them are interested in learning hours leading to understanding and doing good articles

The most basic perspectives on innovation methods is how to promote positive be charged, the initiative of the learners, creating optimum conditions for learning and practice, developing the ability to use language to communicate rather than providing pure language knowledge

With this perspective, the tricks and activities on campus were changed and diversified development The teacher needs to grasp the main principles of the method and learn the tricks and teaching activities from the standpoint of communication so that you can apply to be a flexible, consistent and effective

III Measures carried out to solve the problem:

1 The concept of teaching listening skills:

Active listening is the most complicated language; it incorporated the constituent elements of the gain the awareness and knowledge of languages Listening is one of the primary purposes of teaching foreign languages Consists

of two levels:

1.1 Level 1: (identify or discern): awareness of sounds, words, groups of words in relation to their structure Only when this possibility became automation, the listener can regenerate, behave and respond to what is heard in the audio chain that

1.2 Level 2: (selected): listeners learned elements useful to understand was the speaker At first listening comprehension, verbal sentences are short, simple and longer sentences

2 Studying of the listening activities:

2.1 Listening in everyday life:

Listening to not focus: is the listening acticities to entertain such as listen

to radio, watch films on TV which still can proceed at the same time another job

Listening to focus: is the deliberate player, wants to capture the information of content would do.For example, hearing the news on the radio, the television, listen to the instructions, instructor lecture, interpretation, etc.In this case, the listeners primarily focus on the important points, needed for his intention Regular listeners know themselves what they want to hear This helps the listeners pay attention to the right content should know, because so often capture the issues more effectively

2.2 Listen in the environment: in the environment, mostly listening activities that focus, and aims to develop different skills The type of hearing in learning foreign languages as follows:

- Listen to main ideas

-Listen to find the necessary information

-Listen to affirm the previous conjecture

-Listen to perform communication tasks are laid out

-Listen to details (Both the contents and the structure of the language)

* Note: students can reset the amount of information based on the following basis:-knowledge of the language (vocabulary, grammar, semantics, style, etc.)

- The familiar with the topic being addressed

-Observation, interpretation, communication context, including what happened before

- Knowledge, knowledge that they possess the same said

- Understanding, the personal preference, attitude speaker

-An understanding of the context, culture in communication

-An understanding of the external signal language like: speed says, stop the, gesture, gestures, looks to the

3 Conduct the tips taught listening:

3.1 Building trust (Confidence building)

3.2 Identify the sentence accent (Sentence stress reception)

3.3 Resolved topics (Topic interpretation)

3.4 Listening comprehension for the main idea (Listening for gist)

3.5 Identification details (Recognising details)

3.6 Listen to capture the necessary information (Listening for wanted information)

3.7 Copy the spell (Dictations)

3.8 Event chain diagrams (Sequencing chart)

3.9 Grammar spelling (Dictogloss)

3.10 Listen-guitar (Listening and note-taking)

4 Organize the different listening activities:

4.1 Help students listen effectively: in fact, listening still is a difficult skill for today's school students To overcome these difficulties while listening, teachers can use the following measures:

- Introduce the topic, the related content to hear; explain the concept if necessary

-Questions help students anticipate the content will play

-Introducing new words , reinforcing the vocabulary necessary for listening

-Question guides when listening

-Divide the process of listening into each step, for example

+ Times the first player: hear main ideas, answer questions

+ Times the second listener: listen to more details etc

-If the dealer long post, listen to short to let students hear, there are specific listening requirements vary

4.2 Getting things predictable, listen to: (predicting) the skills needed when listening is the ability to predict what is about to be heard So when listening to students, teachers should give students guess things about to listen in

a certain context This activity may proceed with the hearing which the plot or a conversation For example, when listening to a conversation, the teacher may stop following a sentence by a character in the conversation and ask students to watch the other characters will respond like? Will behave like? Agree or not?

…

For example:

( English 9- Unit 1: Local environment- Skills 2- page 13)

Tapescript:

Tra: I love history, so my place of interest is Viet Nam National

Museum of History ( What can you hear? Is it history or not?)There's an

extensive collection of artefacts tracing Viet Nam's history They're arranged

chronologically from primitive life to modern times It's also near Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter, so you can spend time looking round and exploring

Nam: I'm fascinated by traditional handicrafts (What does he like?) At

weekends, I usually go to Bat Trang, a pottery village not far from Ha Noi

centre (Where does Nam usually go? What does Bat Trang make?)My friend's

relatives live there and they own a workshop Every time I go there, they teach

me how to make things such as pots, vases, or bowls I'm learning to paint on

Hoa: Ha Noi Botanical Garden is the place I like There are lots of trees from different countries (Where are the trees from? Can you hear what?), a

lake, and a small hill I usually climb up the hill and read books at the top because there's a large lawn After that I go down and feed the pigeons Sometimes I just sit on the bench, watching people dancing or playing sports It's a nice place for those who love nature and quietness

4.3 Listen to confirm his speculations about article content, listen: this is the same truth applies to reading comprehension skills: before listening/reading teacher, exploiting suggestions of what students have already known about the content issue would listen/read, what is unknown Then listen and relate the understanding with the content should look For example, when conducting a post about Tourism in Viet Nam (English 9-Unit 8: Tourism-Skills 2), the teacher would ask, suggest what students already know about tourism, such as: its importance, the good effect, the the objectives Then the request

the students to listen, find answers

Listen to the lecture and tick True (T) or False (F)

1.Tourism plays an important part in the development of

many nations

2.Modern transport promotes tourism

3.Tourism depends on the income of a country

4.People's lives get better with the development of tourism

5.Tourism helps promote international understanding and

cooperation

6.Young people go to big cities to meet foreign tourists

( English 9 – Unit 8: Tourism – Skills 2- page 27)

4.4 Listen to retrieve required information: as mentioned, when conducting active listening, teachers have to send out the request, the task of listening; focusing on the primary content, it's important to let the listener has the specific purpose The form of missions, diverse requirements, be it the form

to answer the question or complete the tables

For example:

Listen and write the missing words in each gap:

(English 9 – Unit2: City life- Skills 2 – page 23)

4.5 Listen to capture the main ideas: (Listen for gist, for main ideas), in many cases the student should be listening to understand the main ideas, essential items without the need for attention to detail

For example: Listen to the conversation about their eating habits and decide if the statements are true or false:

(English 9 – Unit 7: Recipes and eating habits- Skills 2 – page 15)
