Methods of investigation - Empirical Method - Research Methodology theory teaching language - Research and teaching methods from within the document, online, television CONTENT 2.1 Theoretical basis In order to promote the positive, self-initiative, creative thinking of students with special characteristics, there are many factors affecting In teaching and learning English vocabulary is one of three components of The system forms the language of knowledge and acts as a means and condition for the formation and development of communication skills Can say vocabulary plays a crucial role in communication English vocabulary as a seed to grow on a solid grammar tree, without vocabulary, any language becomes meaningless According to the famous linguist David A Wilkins (1972) once said “no grammar very little information can be conveyed But without vocabulary, no information can be conveyed” Learning foreign languages the role of vocabulary is very important We must accumulate many vocabulary and apply flexible language in communication Thus learning vocabulary and forging skills to use vocabulary is a leading factor in the transmission of a language in general and English in particular However, the viewpoint of teaching and learning English vocabulary by changing methods leads to many changes in teaching and learning vocabulary Therefore, the selection of teaching methods such as how to promote positive, disciplined, proactive, creative thinking of students, promote self-study ability, practical ability, passion Learning and the will to rise for students is what all English teachers care about 2.2 Current situation of teaching and learning vocabulary for grade students at Nga Trung Primary School 2.2.1.The benefit The school has enough facilities for teaching and learning: there are classrooms, computers, monitors, projectors, headsets English vocabulary in the curriculum is used in accordance with the general development of social and psychological characteristics of students As elementary students are formed and developed cognitive abilities on the basis of specific thinking, teaching vocabulary derived from the system needs interesting topics and topics, close to students so the learning process episodes happen naturally At this age, vocabulary is best applied when students actively engage in communication activities through specific, familiar topics The theme of the lesson is structured according to the topic, interesting topics, close, closely linked from grade to grade In addition, providing capital for students to ensure continuity between levels of education Providing students with a rich vocabulary helps them shape and develop their ability to use English as a communication tool Currently all levels and sectors, as well as the vast majority of people are aware of the importance of learning English, so parents are interested in investing for their children to study English such as: full books, equipment and facilities useful for learning are also fully equipped 2.2.2 The situation results Primary students are still playing, not focusing on studying.They are not aware of the importance of English I see that Nga Trung students speak very hard the local language makes the pronunciation of English become difficult and inaccurate, and that affects the psychology of speaking English, they are often very afraid, lack of confidence and hesitant to learn English so their ability to memorize words is limited The importance of the initial stage is to develop the ability to communicate simply in a new language without fear of making mistakes, significantly affecting student motivation There is a fundamental factor affecting language learning: children will not learn without motivation Almost all students pronounce incorrectly Examples: 'teacher', library, e'raser, etc - Also, they cannot play the ending sound but almost eliminate the sounds like: s, z, t, k For example: / s / ->, class, student / z / -> is, zoo, season / t / -> eat, hat, kite / k / -> books, milk, like Primary students are very active, so it is easy to lose focus, forget quickly, In particular, many parents in Nga Trung work away from home, they stay at home with grandparents And most parents not know how to guide their children to learn English Determining advantages and disadvantages, at the beginning of the 20182019 school year, I conducted a survey of grade students 4A (experimental) and 4B (control) in Nga Trung Primary School And the results are as follow Class 4A (experimental) 4B(control) Size Finished well SL TL 33 18,2 34 14,7 Rating rating Finish Unfinished SL TL SL TL 20 60,6 21,2 23 67,6 17,7 From the above practice results, I have been thinking, researching and in order to make the work better, help students enjoy learning English and improve the quality of education in the school, I would like to present some measures practical as follows:” Some measures to teach vocabulary for grade students at Nga Trung Primary School” 2.3 Some measures to help students in grade Nga Trung Primary School learn English vocabulary well 2.3.1 Measure 1: Improve the students' awareness about learning how to learn vocabulary in English Propaganda is the first method chosen to raise awareness for students As you know, some elementary students not pay more attention to learning English because this is a subject that has not been a compulsory subject in elementary schools This is also a difficult subject at school Therefore, I always persuade my students about the importance of learning English Learning English to be able to travel around the world, they can easily make friends with foreigners, they can chat with foreigners on facebook or zalo, they can easily find a good job With high salaries in the pioneer company in the future, they can read books, newspapers, stories or watch movies in English If you want to learn English well, the first and the most important thing is to learn, memorize vocabulary, accumulate yourself vocabulary because without vocabulary you will not be able to convey the idea of I let others understand or read books, listen to music Thanks to my persuasion, my students can understand why they should learn English vocabulary When they play an important role in learning vocabulary, they will work hard to learn well the four skills of listeningspeaking - reading - writing English effectively 2.3.2 Measure To overcome status students are not interested in learning new words: Previously, most teachers followed the traditional method that teachers recorded and students did homework After that, the teacher corrects, if the student makes a mistake, the teacher is always active in class, and all students just listen and everything is enough Therefore, teachers will be very tired, passive students So they are afraid to learn and speak English As a language teacher, I always care about how students learn and how to stimulate passion, like learning English in children To teach English for Primary students effectively and to help students interested in lesson are not easy, so depending on the characteristics of each class, each object, content and capacity knowledge of each lesson, teachers can practice vocabulary at different times, at different stages of each article, the main teaching hours or extracurricular courses, organized manner to teachers choose the form of exercise and test accordingly For students more interested in learning new words I have combined the following forms: 2.3.3 Measure 3: How to choose words to teach effectively a Choose word by topic English has hundreds of thousands of words, so teaching new words is not an easy task for foreign language teachers But remember that an ordinary person only uses natural speech about five thousand words in everyday communication Usually, a lesson of new words always appears Especially primary school students have poor concentration ability and still play To choose words to teach, teachers should teach them themed vocabulary to attract students' attention and interest Learning vocabulary by topic will help students feel more interested in learning, easier to learn It is this that will make learning vocabulary more effective later when learning the topic of vocabulary becomes a habit of students will find learning English interesting and more receptive Example : Unit 8: What subjects you have today?- Grade - Pre- teaching subject vocabulary, teachers ask students to talk about some of the subjects they are studying in class T: What subjects are you learning in class? Ss: We are learning English, maths, Vietnamese… - While- teaching subject vocabulary, Ask students to observe the pictures a, b, c f then the teacher introduces the vocabulary Example: Picture a T: What is this subject? Ss: It is Maths T: Maths Example: Picture b T: What is this subject? Ss: It is science T: science …………… Subject learning vocabulary helps students memorize words faster and longer In Unit 8: What subjects you have today?- Grade after learning the vocabulary about subjects I found my students remember the names of the subjects very well Example : Unit 19: What animal you want to see?- Grade Similar when I teach vocabulary about the topic of animals my student learn very excited Example: Picture a T: What animals are these? Ss: They are Kangaroos T: Kangaroos Example: Picture b T: What animals are these? Ss: They are crocodiles T: crocodiles …………… After teaching the topic vocabulary about animals, I found my students interested in learning and boldly participating in learning they are interested in talking about animals they have seen at the zoo Exciting and effective lesson b Choose synonyms, antonyms + Use synonyms to help learn to memorize good words and to flexibly use synonyms in communication and other skills Example: nice – pretty- beautiful clever – intelligent dull – stupid, foodball –Soccer rubber- eraser + Antonym Use the questions Example : Unit 14: What does he look like?- Grade T: What is the words antonym for the “old” words Sts: It’s “young” Similar to other antonyms pairs, I also ask students and students respond to the lesson very enthusiastically tall >< short, thin >< fat, pretty >< ugly, strong >< weak , big >< small, thin >< thick, new >< old,… Teaching antonyms helps students learn a lot of words at the same time, for example, when speaking to tall, students remember immediately short word or when it comes big word, they also think of small words… I found that applying vocabulary teaching method with antonyms to 4th grade students in Nga Trung primary school, students learn better, remember longer words 2.3.4 Measure 4: Steps to teach words are interesting for students In English to teach new words of a lesson, teachers need to divide the teaching into 03 stages: Pre teaching, While teaching Post teaching Therefore, in order for a lesson to be effective, I have to carefully study and select the appropriate activities for each lesson in each stage As follows: a Pre – teaching: This is a very important step that plays a decisive role in the success of a lesson In this stage, teachers need to give a general introduction on the topic of teaching to create attraction, interest for students, create a need for students to study and encourage students to think about the topic of vocabulary They will study During the class I have applied the following tricks and skills for the Pre-teaching step: - Using visual tools (using video channel in textbooks): picture is the information channel that the brain can remember more easily Primary students enjoy the images so using vocabulary pictures will help them memorize good words I use pictures in the textbooks to attract students' attention to create exciting atmosphere for the class -Example : (unit 9: What are they doing? - grade 4) To teach new words playing football I used pictures in books T: What are they doing? Sts: they are playing football T: playing football - Using intuitive: It's in the classroom objects, pictures, drawings sketches (rod), picture collage words magazines, gestures etc Strong effect excitement of student learning and help students memorize faster, longer Example : Unit 8: What subjects you have today?- Grade To teach some words: English, maths, music, Vietnamese, … -Teacher raises a English book and asks T: What is this? S: It is a English book T: English similar teachers introduce vocabulary of other subjects such as math T: What is this? S: It is a maths book T: Maths Using visualization to teach vocabulary is also effective.I have also applied this method to grade students and found it to be remarkably effective My students study very hard and memorize words very well - Mine Teachers use facial expressions, gestures and body activities to make students guess words Example : Unit 5: Can you swim?- Grade Teacher sings T ask: what am I doing Ss: You are singing T: Sing Similarly when I want to introduce from Swim I make a gesture like I am swimming T ask: what am I doing Ss: You are swimming T: swim This is also a method I have applied to my 4th graders, they are very excited they enthusiastically raised their hands on the board as a gesture for them to guess the word With this method will help students confidently speak English, be more interested in this subject, create a more natural learning atmosphere without putting pressure on them - List name For example, teaching words “drink” I have listed words of drinks such as: water, orange juice, fruit juice, lemonade b While- teaching In the process of teaching vocabulary, I take each step: - Step 1: "listen", I let students listen to new words by reading samples or use native language CD - Step 2: "speak", after the students have heard three times I asked repeat students When giving the students a repeat, tell the class first, then call them personally to check and correct them immediately - Step 3: "read", write the word on the board and have students look at it to read Have students read the whole class, then read individually and correct the students' mistakes At the same time, encourage them to make good pronunciation to stimulate their learning spirit - Step 4: "write", after students have read the word correctly then I will ask the students to write the word in the notebook c Post- teaching - Organizing these activities for students to reinforce this is effective I often apply some games after each lesson to test my students remember and understand how to use that vocabulary and reinforce ants Wake up for them And to create excitement for student learning in lessons, I often give games - Pelmanism: Example: Unit 12 What does your father do? Grade - This is a kind of picture flip game on powerpoint, find and flip pictures, words or picture, same font After teaching vocabulary about career topics, I let students play the game Pelmanism to check whether the students understand and remember words to and I found this game very effective, my students were very excited and recorded Remember the good word This is a great trofchowi, which helps students learn and play but is an effective way to practice vocabulary - Matching: This is also a very popular activity in vocabulary lessons, the students must match the word with its meaning and vice versa, or match the word to the corresponding picture Example: Unit 13 Would you like some milk ? (Grade 4) I pasted the food map into a column and the other side was the vocabulary Students will link to the corresponding picture 10 a chicken b.vegetable c.fish In this game my students work very well they are eager to participate, the lesson becomes comfortable and effective - Slap the board: After teaching vocabulary in a lesson I often let students play games like Slap the board: I write new words and circle words or take pictures on the board Then I called the two groups up on the board, each group of students to play this game The game helps students strengthen their skills in listening to learned words, as well as recognizing letters and quick reflexes for them Most of my students are excited about this game 11 2.3.5 Measure 5: Help students to memorize vocabulary through song or chant Learning English through songs helps children learn vocabulary in a simple and fastest way The melody of the song and the song to go into the memory of children, children will remember long and accurate As you know, students who want to learn English well, the first thing we have to for children to love it Music will help students receive vocabulary naturally, and especially in songs or chant words that are repeated many times with a fun melody that makes them excited to learn and relax They are easy to remember words to check the pronunciation of students reading verbs transferred to the past tense I have them sing and read chant: Example: Unit 10 What did you yesterday? ( let’s chant) and Sing a song : Where were you yesterday After students learn this song and this chant by heart My students read the words very well and especially they know how to connect sounds, loops and intonation 2.3.6 Measure Teaching new words is highly effective through communication Objectives of foreign language teaching and learning is developing communication skills, language skills Students learn vocabulary not only reading, writing and meaning of words but also need to achieve communication capacity; ie developing all language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and using that vocabulary to communicate Vocabulary is considered as one of the three components that make up tools or means to form and develop language skills Teaching vocabulary to students I often give them practice of communication skills through simple communication sentences that help 12 students understand and remember the meaning of words easier, and most importantly, stimulate a positive learning spirit more of them Example : Unit 13: Would you like some milk?- Grade In picture a the teacher asks students to practice the sentence pattern with “bread” S1: Would you like some bread? S2: Yes, please In picture b S1: Would you like some rice? S2: No, thanks Example : Unit 14: What does he look like?- Grade I asked the class to look at the pictures and join the study The class leader will stand up and ask you questions and appoint you to answer the question, similarly you will answer the next question just like that until you finally Picture a: S1: What does she look like? S2: She is tall Picture b: S2:What does she look like? S3: She is short …… 13 When students learn words through sentence patterns, I often let them work in groups, in pairs I myself will edit the pronunciation for students who have not pronounced correctly, creating a comfortable learning atmosphere that does not put pressure on them Learning words through communication helps students understand the meaning of words more easily On the other hand, it also stimulates the need for new students to use words 2.3.7 Measure Teaching new words is highly effective through paragraphs A short paragraph contains lots of vocabulary and short sentences, with learning vocabulary through your texts so you can memorize vocabulary correctly in terms of meaning and usage The important thing is, through the passage you can easily speak a lot of English texts, this is our ultimate goal when learning English There are many ways to make lectures easy on students' memory such as using images, inserting new words into a practical, interesting use context, telling English stories with words students need Besides, in the paragraph there are many complete vocabulary and sentences So learning words through texts helps students remember quickly and accurately the meaning and usage of words Example: Unit10 Where were you yesterday ? Grade In this paragraph, students learn from: watered flowers, played chess, watched T.V (the verb moves to the past, there are rules) After learning this passage, my students remember the vocabulary and usage of the word very well You can say another paragraph about yourself, using the words you learned in the paragraph above I think that is also the main purpose of learning English 2.3.8 Measure Teaching new words is highly effective through practice Teachers need to organize practice activities and consolidate words.through listening and writing to increase fluency when using words This activity will 14 help students focus on recognizing and using learned words proficient in each context Complete the crossword as suggested : Each different letters forms words, words are illustrated with examples linked to real life will help them remember the words longer - Example : a Teachers test vocabulary by crossword puzzles (English 4) Complete the crossword indicating the animals' names based on the suggested questions: What animal is big and grey? What animal says woof woof? What animal swings from tree to tree? What animal says meow? What animal is the tallest? What animal is yellow? Sort of the same themes - The teacher gives a mixture table words - Students from the appropriate thematic + Example : soccer chicken cold milk skirt eggs oranges noodles T.shirt wet rice mouth swimming tennis warm beef cap fish jeans meat bananas sandals apples carrots basketball soda hot potatoes dry coffee lemonade volleyball blouse cool bread table-tennis * Keys: - Food & drink : chicken, milk, eggs, noodles, oranges , rice, beef, fish ,meat, bananas , apples, carrots , soda , potatoes , bread, lemonade 15 - Weather: cold, wet, warm, hot, cool, dry - Body: T.shirt , cap ,jeans , blouse , sandals , skirt, -

people: dentist, worker, engineer, nurse, farmer, doctor - Animal: tiger, dolphin, shark, fish, tortoise, monkey, fox - place: factoryt, history, book store, foodstall, shoe store, foodstall The purpose of this test form has created a positive and exciting atmosphere in learning, helps students to generalize and categorize vocabulary This procedure requires students to remember vocabulary in many different themes After incorporate some form of exercise and check I find that students were initially excited about learning new words and new words really feel not hard to remember 2.3.9 Measure To overcome status students use more Vietnamese : When find out the opinion of many students that how to learn new words, most of them think that only know these word in Vietnamese but little they know how to apply them In the lesson, students use more Vietnamese to discuss or explain the issues related to the lesson To help children become more confident in using more English in class I have incorporated some forms of selfconfidence to help them use English in class as much as possible - Find words learned by definition: For each vocabulary teacher can explain in simple English words and that is to find a new definition for the words For example, when teaching Unit 15 When’s children’s day ?(English 4) After the introduction of the new words and some common words related to the lesson to students, the teacher gives students the definition of that word and ask students to find the word This way teacher can test what students have learned Specific: + If you want to test word birthday, teacher suggests: This word has letters The day someone was born or the anniversary of that day 16 .+ If you want to check word comic book, teachers suggests: This word has letters A magazine that is made up of a series of comic strips - often used as comic-book before another noun + If you want to check word clock, teacher suggests: This word has letters A device that shows what time it is and that is usually placed in a room or attached to a wall This form is to help students develop reading comprehension skills, help students relate to a lot of words to learn and use English to explain some simple words - Find the appropriate side The form of this test to help students learn more about the nature of the meaning of words to help them understand and remember longer Teachers prepare some cardboard, a numbered face, a face that says students want to practice, then paste the cover sheet on the board, divide the class into two groups, in turn ask each group to select two plates, flip two students selected cover sheet if the match will be scored if not match capsized back together and continue the game Example 1: If you want to check the school subjects, you ask students to transplant subjects with appropriate definitions Then ask students to read complete sentences In Vietnamese We study different countries and their people In History We learn to read and write in Vietnamese In Maths We learn how to use computer In Geography We study past and events in Viet Nam and aroud the word In Information Technology We learn about numbers Key In Vietnamese, we learn to read and write in Vietnamese In History, we study past and events in Viet Nam and aroud the word In Maths, we learn about numbers In Geography, we study different countries and their people 17 In Information Technology, we learn how to use a computer - Read the words in syllables The teacher asks students to read the words with syllables amount prescribed Students begin speaking Example: + Saying the words with one syllable: - tall, short, fat , thin + Speaking of two-syllable words: - noisy , river, teacher + Speaking words of three syllables: - difficult, carefully, telephone + Saying the words have four syllables: - Information, television, intelligent This form is used to test reading and pronunciation from the students After combining the forms of this test I found the students to speak English more and more confident and no longer be afraid or fear of failure 2.4 Effectivenes of the themes Through the process of applying some of the above methods and experiences for teaching vocabulary to grade students, Trung Nga Primary School, I found that most students have memorized vocabulary better, my lesson lively, students work more actively, enthusiastically and confidently practice speaking to her and friends Especially for weak students who are more brave in communicating and speaking English In the beginning of April of the school year 2018-2019, I would take the test in two classes 4B and 4A(in which class 4A is the experimental class, class 4B is the control class) The quality of grade students in the test improved better than the quality of the survey at the beginning of the school year, specifically as follows: Class 4A (Experimental Class) 4B(Control Class) Rating rating Size Finished well Finish Unfinished SL TL SL TL SL TL 33 15 45,5 17 51,5 3,0 34 14 41,2 17 50 8,8 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 Conclusion In learning English, there are skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing Learn any language, you need to learn skills well, but to these skills well, you need a rich vocabulary Vocabulary plays an important role in learning English and especially develops skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing Properly taught English for elementary students helps students acquire knowledge and use communication tools to develop comprehensively The 18 higher the student's vocabulary, the greater the ability to use, the more accurate and sensitive communication will be Whether students practice sentences, communicate fluently, fluently or not depends on learning vocabulary and pronunciation correctly The success of primary English teachers is how to teach students to understand and grasp knowledge without feeling pressure That is what every teacher must always cultivate and innovate teaching methods to help students learn easily, enthusiastically and most interested in the subject When we impart knowledge to students, they deepen their knowledge and apply their learned knowledge flexibly And above all, teachers must be responsible, passionate, enthusiastic at work Teachers must fully exploit and combine the effective use of teaching equipment and devices such as projectors, pictures, magnetic cards, internet for students to acquire knowledge with good results In my opinion, each teacher needs flexible teaching methods, depending on the student to have a way to stimulate learning interest so that students achieve the best results In the end, teachers need to train their spirit of learning more, so think about which method will bring success to our lecture 3.2 Recommendations: (None) CERTIFICATE OF HEAD OF UNIT PRINCIPAL Nga Trung, day 10 month in 2019 I promise this is my experience idea write, not copy the content of other people WRITTEN MAI THỊ THOA 19 IV References Teaching English to children A.Scott, Wendy & H.Ytreberg, Lisbeth (2004) UK: Longman Teaching languages to young learners Cameron, L (2005), Cambridge University Press How to use games in language teaching Rixon, S (1984), HongKong: Macmillan Publishers Ltd Teach English Adrian Doff Cambridge University Press 500 Activities for the Primary classroom Carol Read Macmillan books for Teacher English for Primary Teachers Marry Slattery & Jane Willis Oxford University Press 20 V LIST THE INITIAL EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN CONFERENCED BY THE EXPERIENCED EXPERIENCE COUNCIL FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING OF DISTRICT, PROVINCES AND HIGHER LEVELS OF TURKEY Full name: Mai Thi Thoa Position and job: Teacher Nga Trung Primary School Rating rating (District / TT Topic name experience idea provincial education, province ) Some games help primary District school students learn English Education well Rating results (A, B, or C) C Year of assessment rating 2015-2016 21 22 ... to teach vocabulary for grade students at Nga Trung Primary School, Nga Son District, Thanh Hoa Province" 1.2 The purpose of the study I personally find that teaching vocabulary to students is... follows:” Some measures to teach vocabulary for grade students at Nga Trung Primary School? ?? 2.3 Some measures to help students in grade Nga Trung Primary School learn English vocabulary well 2.3.1... with antonyms to 4th grade students in Nga Trung primary school, students learn better, remember longer words 2.3 .4 Measure 4: Steps to teach words are interesting for students In English to teach
