Trang 2up with developed countries requires us to grasp the most advancedachievements apart to put the country of Vietnam became a thriving civilization.Besides English is a language used to communicate popular worldwide so thattoday the teaching and learning of English in the school has made major changes
in the content and methods teaching, to match the objectives and requirementsset out for the education department in the reform program. The most basicviews on the new method is to promote a positive, proactive students and createoptimal conditions for their development and practice their language skills andcommunication purposes, not is the supply of plain language knowledge.
As a teacher of English in secondary school, I always think about how toachieve quality teaching and high effeciency . To do get it, ask the teacher toapply the procedure in all forms of diversity, abundance, making foreignlanguage classes lively, charismatic, compelling them to help the get youpromote capacity towards the end of "I am the organizer, student self-guided,self- control in class."
Although instructional time is not long, but through their own experience withthe reference material, I realized: "To help students tobe cofident in their studies,teacher has to improve their abilities to use word. To achieve this, I think thatproviding ways to learn words is very important". Through real-time application
in secondary school , I have achieved certain effects get. That's why I choose the
topic "Some tips on teaching English vocabularies in grade 7 effectively "
II Research purposes:
- To encourage students to use English in class, not using native
- To help students to be confident in English
- To investigate the difficulties of using “Classroom Language” of secondary school students
III Subjects Research:
- The concerns of the Board of Management to help the school, peers andsiblings preceded created conditions for teaching and learning English is better.There are sufficient textbooks and equipments such as tapes, disc, speakers,projectors serve for teaching and learning
2 Disadvantages:
Trang 3According to the current distribution programs in English Secondary,there are 3periods per week Besides, the students here live in bad conditions andcircumstances, parents do not understand the importance of English subjects, sothey should not be interested and urge them to study this subject. In addition, thedevelopment of all aspects is limited, conditions for students to be exposed to themass media, entertainment programs use less English. Leading to the possibility
of their communication is limited, let alone communicate in English
To the students, besides a number of children seriously, there are many studentsonly learn through the speakers, not to inculcate the lessons in mind, reading,writing regularly, not interested lesson, until the teacher asks them not tosucceed
For the teacher, it is also very difficult to check or guide them to learn at homebecause the foreign language isnot popular. This is a very difficult problem inmanaging the student's home
3 The need of the subject:
a Rationale:
Education Act 2005 (Article 5) stipulates that "educational methods to promote
a positive, self-discipline, initiative and creative thinking of students, training forself-study learning capacity, the ability to practice, passion for learning and willrise. "
With the goal of universal education is "Helping students develop acomprehensive moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and basic skills, developpersonal power, dynamism and creativity, image the human personality SocialistVietnam, build and responsibilities as citizens, to prepare students for furthereducation or go into working life, participate in the construction and defense ofthe homeland ". General education program attached to Decision No. 16/2006 /
QD - 05/05/2006 Ministry of Education and Training of the Minister ofEducation and Training has also stated: "It promotes the positive, self-discipline,initiative and creativity of the students, in accordance with specific subjects,objects student characteristics and conditions of each class, students foster self-learning method, the possibility of cooperation, skill Games knowledge intopractical, emotional impact, bring joy, excitement and responsibility for studentlearning
b Practical basis:
As you know, for many years now almost all students in Viet Nam has not onlyaimed at passing their exams and getting some further studies for their futurelife, but also they have had a desire to be integrated into the culture, thecivilization, and the people of English speaking countries. Many students arenot confident to speak and express their English in class whereas most of theEnglish lessons are carried out in traditional methods. That is, the teacherpresents new words verbally, and then students listen and repeat. Finally, teachercall some good students to read before class.This method doesnot limit thenumber of words. As a consequence, the students find it hard to remember aswell as to communicate in the real life naturally
Trang 4II Situation issues before applying experience initiative.
For a long time, teachers become familiar with traditional thinking.It is
very difficult to change their mind. As you all know, English is now a globalprofessional language . English is used in every corner all over the world. Withthe importance of learning languages, especially English, considering teachingEnglish widely in schools is one of a main subjects to develop students' abilities
In teaching English, teaching vocabularies is a vitally process in all lessons.Having rich vocabularies helps students develop all four skills - listening,speaking, reading, and writing. However, infact, almost students are very lazy tolearn words. They arenot able to remember the words that they learnt. Otherscan't find out suitable ways to learn words, so they donot remember both themeaning ang using of the words.
Through teaching English, the hours of colleagues, professional trainingcourses, I draw out for myself the method of teaching vocabulary effectively
III Some tips on teaching vocabulary.
1 Presenting a new words
1.1.Eliciting the words.
Open-mindedness is an important step in teaching newwords Teacher can use many different techniques to elicit suchas:
a Visuals : use pictures,map, chart, diagram,

Students look at the picture and answer: It’s a cushion

asks them to close their notebooks

“ What’s this in English ?”

In class, teacher usually has no private lesson to practice using words.However, vocabularies can be practiced in grammar period, reading, listening,further practice, warm-up and speaking. For example, in grammar lesson, theteacher guides students how to use words through grammar structure, usingadjectives and adverbs. (Unit 13: Period 81. A3,5. Sports)

Applying these tips in all forms has attracted the interest of students, creatingthe need to communicate, encourage students to think about the content andtheme of the lesson. In addition, we also help them review the old knowledge,promoting positive, active learners, providing superior results However,teachers need to apply all the tricks in a flexible manner, in accordance with eachstudent objects, each specific lessons, to achieve the highest results

Trang 20Through the study of the procedure in all. I see the importance of it in theteaching of Foreign Languages in general and English in particular subjects,which directly affects the quality of teaching hours. I believe that if you continue
to experience this initiative seriously, through the process of teaching, the quality
of learning in the English department will get better results
With the experience of years of teaching experience in secondary school, Iwas raised on experiences and thoughts on one aspect has been used a lot in theteaching of English . Come here I also wish colleagues to read and contributeadditional ideas useful and valuable to this topic more complete

In the teaching process there will be very difficult for both teachers and studentsbecause of reasons: difficulty concentrating students seriously by the actorsaround or is not liked by the school. However, teachers need to calmly handlethe situation a logical way and best to avoid stressful for lessons. For this, I havelearned a number of principles to ensure more effective learning, in whichteachers and students need to make a positive way:
- Prepare lesson carefully before class
- Distribute the time of lesson to fit and balance
- Teachers and students should be active in each task as well as in each part ofthe lesson
- Teachers should have good visibility of students in the class
- Encourage students to learn actively in the learning process. Even if they readuncorrectly or give wrong answers, the teacher should actively encouragechildren not to lose confidence

I declare this is the first initiativethat experience I write, do notcopy someone else’s
