Withthe direction of teaching innovation, assessing students' learning resultsaccording to the current development orientation of students, what is the bestway to teach a lesson and use

1 Introduction

1.1 Reason for choosing the topic

Today English has been increasingly popular around the world in allareas such as business, tourism , so the level of English students is veryimportant It is the basis for developing a higher level of English and makingEnglish more common in life Because of such importance, English is one ofthe formal and compulsory subjects in high schools and also one of therequired subjects in the final exams In the process of teaching and learningforeign languages, reading is one of the focused skills Reading is not only apurpose but also an effective and necessary means for students to master,consolidate their linguistic knowledge, expand their vocabulary as well as gain

a deeper understanding of their style and language usage they're studying

In all high schools, the main material for teaching a readingcomprehension is a textbook These readings play a very important role indeveloping students' reading comprehension skills and language skills Withthe direction of teaching innovation, assessing students' learning resultsaccording to the current development orientation of students, what is the bestway to teach a lesson and use the skills effectively is my biggest concern.After a period of research as well as exchange and consult my colleagues and

a period of application, I strongly discuss with English teachers a small aspect

of the problem of teaching foreign languages is "Reading and teaching method

of Reading 10 oriented to develop students' competence"

1.2 Purposes of the research

- To find out different methods to exploit students' initiative and creativethinking

- To train and develop reading skills of students with high efficiency

- To help students understand the content of the reading comprehension andapply it to the exercises as well as how to use the language and style in thereading

1.3 Subject of the research

- The subject of the research is high school students, especially 10th gradestudents, who are attending the 10-year English program at Ngo Le Tan HighSchool

1.4 Methods of the research

- Vocabulary teaching method

- Practical teaching English subject at Ngo Le Tan High School

- Objective of research assistance: Colleagues with the same expertise insideand outside the school, attending classes and exchanging experiences

1.5 Research scope

Part: Lesson: Reading from Unit 1 to Unit 10, the textbook of English 10(Published in 2017)

- Research method of comparing active products: researching learning results

of gaining knowledge of students before and after the implementation of theinitiative

2 Content

2.1 Rationale:

Language is a special system of signals which forms and develops withhuman society It is characterized by human beings and different fromanimals Language exists in people's daily lives as a means of communication.Through the expression of language, people can understand each other better,understand each other's moods and attitudes to build up a social interaction,mutual impact and make human society become a coherent institution Forstudents, forming their language is a very necessary task, requiring us toalways focus on developing positive, creative dynamism to create awarenessand problem solving for the children To achieve this goal, changing theteaching method in the school towards attaching importance to the learner isthe active subject, encouraging the learners' active and creative learningactivities in the learning process is extremely necessary In teaching foreignlanguages, these arguments are even truer and truer because no one canreplace learners in capturing foreign language facilities and using foreignlanguages in their own communication activities The purpose of teaching aforeign language is not merely to identify the phonetic, vocabulary, orgrammar systems but students must know how to use those systems to achieve

a specific communication purpose: verbally, by action and in writing The role

of reading skills in the current high school curriculum (specifically EnglishTextbook 10) is mainly about reading the lessons, doing some kinds of relatedexercises

Method of teaching from the point of view of capacity development notonly pays active attention to students' intellectual activities but also focuses ontraining their problem-solving competence related to situations of life andcareer as well as associates intellectual activities with practical activities.Strengthening group learning and renovating teacher-student relationships inthe direction of meaningful collaboration play an important role to developsocial capacity Besides learning the specific knowledge and skills ofprofessional subjects, it is necessary to supplement complex learning topics todevelop the capacity of solving complex problems

General orientations on innovating teaching methods in subjects underthe capacity development oriented education program are:

● trên cơ sở đó trau dồi các phẩm chất linh hoạt, độc lập, sáng tạo của

tư duy Developing positive, self-motivated, proactive learners; formulatingand developing self-study capacity (using textbooks, listening, taking notes,seeking information, ), then cultivating the flexible, independent and creativequalities of thinking

● Choosing flexibly general and specific methods of the subject toimplement However, using any method must ensure the principle of "Studentscomplete their cognitive tasks with the organization, guidance of the Teacher"

● The use of teaching methods is closely linked to the forms of teachingorganization Depending on the objectives, contents, subjects and specificconditions, there are appropriate forms of organization such as individualstudy, group study, classroom study, outside class Good preparation ofmethods is needed for practice hours to ensure the requirements of trainingpractical skills, applying knowledge into practice, increasing interest forlearners.

● It is necessary to use sufficiently and effectively the prescribedminimum subject teaching equipment Homemade teaching aids can be used ifdeemed necessary with the content and suitable for students Teachers shouldactively apply information technology in teaching and learning

2.2 The reality of teaching a common reading comprehension of students

at Ngo Le Tan High School

During reading classes, most students only rely on teachers explainingnew words, translating them into Vietnamese and they just do homework intextbooks At the end of the lesson, they can understand what the content ofthe lesson is about, but they do not remember some of the main vocabularyand grammar points in the lesson They do not know how to make questionsfor paragraphs and how to answer that essentially copied the prototype in theparagraph as the answer

2.3 The reason for the low quality of teaching English reading comprehension part.

From the reality of teaching English 10 at school, through learning,talking with friends, colleagues and getting to know students, I've found outsome of the following reasons:

- Teachers value the teaching of all new words in comprehension beforehaving students read the text as the most important lesson In my opinion,teaching new words is important, but we need to choose the key words toteach, not write all the new words because the time allocated in the lesson isnot enough to implement

- The teachers try to give high priority to the students the repetition of the text,translation of Vietnamese meaning for the students to understand while therequirement of the lesson is to read so that students guess the words and read

to find the main ideas, not merely translate Vietnamese

- Teachers only focus students on doing mechanical exercises in textbookswithout helping students to understand and remember the topics that havebeen studied for a long time So, when they meet the passage in the textbookagain, they can't remember the content and some important words

- The majority of students do not review the old knowledge in books, do notlearn new vocabulary, synonyms, lose their roots gradually leading todepression, surrender and learn to cope with English

2.4 Methods were used to teach reading skill of English 10.

According to the textbook of Ministry of Education and Training, a

reading lesson consists of three sections: Before you read, While you read andAfter you read

2.4.1 Before you read

I usually combine this section with warm- up activity Here are someactivities

2.4.1.1.Discuss some questions related to the topic This activity makes students active and creative.

Example 1 : Unit 1- Family Life

When teacher shows a picture, these are some questions the student maybediscuss

1 Do you often do housework?

2 What household chores do you usually do?

3 How is household chores divided in your family?

4 Are members in your family feel happy when sharing housework? …

Example 2: Unit 9- Preserving The Environment

Firstly, Students take part in an interesting activity: Matching

2 According to you, Where is noise/ air/water/ soil pollution from?

3.Is environmental pollution serious ? Why?

4 People should or shouldn’t protect the environment?

2.4.1.2 Ask some questions related directly to the topic

To make every student feel enthusiastic at the beginning of the lesson ,teacher can give some questions relating to the topic and asks students toanswer

Students maybe answer them correctly or not; however, it makes themfeel curious and they have strong motivation to find out the answer At thattime, they study the new lesson energetically

For example : Unit 2: Your Body and You

The teacher can ask students some questions

1 What is the picture about?

2 Where did Acupuncture originate? / Where is it from?

3 Acupuncture is for everyone?

4 Who should/ shouldn’t take acupuncture?

The students will answer these questions based on their backgroundknowledge After that, I will provide them more vocabulary related to thetopic This helps the learners do the following tasks better

Example : Unit 5 – Inventions

Matching the pictures in row A with the pictures in row B that have thesimilarities

After playing Matching in warm-up, students can be asked somequestions

1 Who can name some inventions that imitate animals? (Students can speakVietnamese if they donot know how to express these invitations in English,teacher can introduce new words at the same time)

2 Who can name some inventions that imitate plants?

3 Which inventions is the best imitation of nature ? Why?

2.4.1.3 Using pictures and data

It is difficult for students to look at the pictures and describe them So, Iusually give my students some suggested words/ phrases to help them practicemore easily It is also a good way to enrich their vocabulary and improve theirspeaking and reading skills effectively

For example: Unit 3- Music

Before reading, students can participate in matching picture activity

Stick the phrases to the logo they belong

c Lai Van Sam

d New young pop singers

- Thanks to these activities, teachers will introduce the topic of reading lessoninterestingly and students are also eager to study the lesson

2.4.2 While you read

In this section, students will study the content of the text and there is avariety of tasks for students depending on the topic Teachers should ask thelearners read silently and shouldn’t stop with translation Reading silentlyhelps students concentrate on what they are reading, they can form mentalpictures of the topic being discussed and can guess the meaning of words fromthe context After reading, students will do exercises

2.4.2.1 Reading for specific needed information

These are some types of requirements that students can be faced:

A Choose the best title

B Read the passage and decide if the statements are True or False

C Read the passage and choose the best option

D Scan the passage and fill in the blanks with correct information (sentences) Requirement: students read the text to find out the best answer and giveevidences for their choices They can wok in pairs or groups

Result: When working in pairs or groups, students all have to do thetask together The students good at reading skill can help the others in thegroup and every student in the group will take his turn to answer the questionnot just only the leader

Type 1: Choose the best title

Unit 1- Family Life

Read the text and decide which of the following is the best title for it

A Doing Housework is Good for Children

B Husbands Who Share Housework Make Their Wives Happy

C Sharing Housework Makes the Family Happier

Unit 9 – Preserving the Environment

Quickly read the text and select the best title.

A Natural Resource Depletion

B The Long – term Damage of Soil

C Environmental Pollution

D The Destruction of Ecosystem

Type 2: Read the passage and decide whether the statements are True, False orNot Given

The kind of exercise asks students to understand the content of the text andbrainstorm to find out the correct answers

Example : Unit 6 – Gender Equality

Read the statements Decide if they are true, false or not given

1 Brenda Berkman passed the written test

2 After failing the physical test, Brenda Berkman kept silent and went away

3 Brenda Berkman taught at the FDNY

Type 3: Read the passage and choose the best option

Example: Unit 7 – Cultural Diversity

Read the text and answer the following questions by circling the best optionA,B,C or D

1 What is true about Vietnamese society?

A Only few people in Viet Nam are superstituos

B People used to be superstitous in the past, but not now.

C Superstitions are part of life for the majority of Vietnamese people

D All people in Viet Nam are superstitous

2 Why do people lay food on the altar?

A They believe that their ancestors will enjoy the meal with them

B The altar can be used as a table to lay food

C They put the food there for later use

D They don’t know why they put it there

Working in groups is a good way to help students practice reading skill.They can check their vocabulary and learn new words from the other members

in group That is the reason why reading skill can be improved quickly andstudents donot feel bored with the reading

Unit 4 – For A Better Community

People volunteer for a number of different reasons One of the more obviousreasons why people volunteer is because they find something they arepassionate about and want to do something good for others (1) Many people who volunteer think that they are very fortunate

to live the way they do and want to give something back to society, as a way

of balancing the scales

Many people choose to volunteer because of the personal benefits thatvolunteering has on their character (2) _ In mosts cases,volunteers also become more concerned and aware of the problems facing theworld and many feel that they were ignorant or narrow – minded before

Volunteer work is a great way to gain experience in a broad range of fields (3) _

Volunteer work can often lead to a paying job Volunteers can try out a field tosee if it suits them and also show that they are dedicated enough to work forfree in the hope that it may lead to a paid job (4) _

_a Indeed, a volunteer often says that the experience has made him or her abetter person
