Although instructional time is not long, but through their own experience with the 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 that providing 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 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: Some tips on teaching English vocabularies in grade effectively IV Research methods: 1.Observation method Research methodology and practice Intergrated method B Content I Advantages, disadvantages and the need of the subject: Advantages: - In English courses applied in recent years So some students feel excited, or favorite subjects are new to this, so every class, most students are very positive - The concerns of the Board of Management to help the school, peers and siblings 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 Disadvantages: According to the current distribution programs in English Secondary,there are periods per week Besides, the students here live in bad conditions and circumstances, parents not understand the importance of English subjects, so they should not be interested and urge them to study this subject In addition, the development of all aspects is limited, conditions for students to be exposed to the mass 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 students only learn through the speakers, not to inculcate the lessons in mind, reading, writing regularly, not interested lesson, until the teacher asks them not to succeed For the teacher, it is also very difficult to check or guide them to learn at home because the foreign language isnot popular This is a very difficult problem in managing the student's home 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 for self-study learning capacity, the ability to practice, passion for learning and will rise " With the goal of universal education is "Helping students develop a comprehensive moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and basic skills, develop personal power, dynamism and creativity, image the human personality Socialist Vietnam, build and responsibilities as citizens, to prepare students for further education or go into working life, participate in the construction and defense of the homeland " General education program attached to Decision No 16/2006 / QD - 05/05/2006 Ministry of Education and Training of the Minister of Education 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 selflearning method, the possibility of cooperation, skill Games knowledge into practical, emotional impact, bring joy, excitement and responsibility for student learning b Practical basis: As you know, for many years now almost all students in Viet Nam has not only aimed at passing their exams and getting some further studies for their future life, but also they have had a desire to be integrated into the culture, the civilization, and the people of English speaking countries Many students are not confident to speak and express their English in class whereas most of the English lessons are carried out in traditional methods That is, the teacher presents new words verbally, and then students listen and repeat Finally, teacher call some good students to read before class.This method doesnot limit the number of words As a consequence, the students find it hard to remember as well as to communicate in the real life naturally II 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 global professional language English is used in every corner all over the world With the importance of learning languages, especially English, considering teaching English 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 to learn words They arenot able to remember the words that they learnt Others can't find out suitable ways to learn words, so they donot remember both the meaning ang using of the words Through teaching English, the hours of colleagues, professional training courses, I draw out for myself the method of teaching vocabulary effectively III Some tips on teaching vocabulary Presenting a new words 1.1.Eliciting the words Open-mindedness is an important step in teaching new words Teacher can use many different techniques to elicit such as: a Visuals : use pictures,map, chart, diagram, Ex : cushion (n) : đệm gối Teacher shows the picture and ask: “What’s this ?” Students look at the picture and answer: It’s a cushion b Mime : perform in actions + Facial expression + Guesture + Body action Ex: slice (v): thái miếng Teacher an action and ask : “ What am I doing ?” c Realia : use real things teacher brings clock , chair , telephone, an apple, flowers……… Into the class ) Ex: apple (n): Teacher points the envelope and ask : “ What’s this ?” d Situation / Explanation : Teacher use real situation Ex : invent (v): Teacher ask: Who is Thomas Edinson? -
