and through interesting activities from which they gain their aims One of the things that makes teaching a source of endless fascination is the fact that no two classes are ever the same There always exists the complex interpersonal chemistry between teacher and students and between student and student In any given classroom, the factors such as position attitudes and individuals’ personalities will be in constant interaction creating a dynamic, unstable environment that can either facilitate the learning process or seriously impair it The role of expectations of both teachers and learners will be conditioned by individual personality factors such as introversion, cognitive style, prior learning and teaching experiences, and cultural factors Real-life observation also tells us that even if language learners can be shown to be following a common developmental route, they differ greatly in degree of ultimate success which they achieve As a teacher, one should be aware that learners differ in ways that careful thought when making decisions about what to be taught and how to teach Social psychologists have argued consistently that differences in learning outcomes must be due to individual differences between learners, and many proposals have been made concerning the characteristics which supposedly cause these differences The degree to which any of the factors discussed will become significant in a particular learning and teaching situation will depend partly on the reasons why learners are learning English Any individual may be influenced by a variety of motivations which will affect such things as anxiety, attitudes or willingness to try new learning strategies In short, there exist individual differences among learners and these differences play a significant role in language learning For a teacher, the challenge must be how to enable each learner according to his or her individual characteristics and cultural background Importance in stimulating participation of students in English lesson Students’ participation is very necessary for learning process to occur Lack of participation will have negative influence on all the learning process Through interacion in the target language students learn to communicate Hence, speaking skill is quite important Speaking skill Speaking is the productive skill in the oral mode It, like the other skills, is more complicated than it seems at first and involves more than just pronouncing words There are three kinds of speaking situations in which we find ourselves: - Interactive - Partially interactive - Non-interactive Interactive speaking situation include face-to-face conversations and telephone calls, in which we have chance to ask for clarification, repetition or slower speech from our conversation partner Some speaking situations are partially interactive, such as when giving a speech to a live audience, where the convention is that the audience does not interrupt the speech The speaker nevertheless can see the audience and judge from the expressions on their faces and body language whether or not he or she is being understood Some few speaking situations maybe totally non-interactive, such as when recording a speech for a radio broadcast Here are some of the micro-skills involved in speaking The speaker has to: Pronounce the distinctive sounds of a language clearly enough so that people can distinguish them This includes making tonal distinctions Use stress and rhythmic patterns, and intonation patterns of the language clearly enough so that people can understand what is said Use the correct forms of words This may mean, for example, changes in the tense, case, or gender Put words together in correct word order Use vocabulary appropriately Use the register or language variety that is appropriate to the situation and the relatonship to the conversation partner Make clear to the listener the man sentence constituents, such as subject, verb, object, by whatever means the language uses Make the main ideas stand out from supporting ieas or information Make the discourse hang together so that people can follow what you are saying (Extracted from the LiguaLinks Library, Version 3.5 published on CDROM by SIL International, 1999) II THE REAL STATE OF AFFAIRS Researching method In order to realize the above aims of the study, qualitative and quantitative methods are mainly used The data collected for the study come from three sources: The questionnaires bring me the overview of both English speaking teaching and learning by teachers of English and students at Nong Cong High School; the classroom observation, we can see what the participants in comparison with theoretical base of the study and an interview of teachers are going to be used to collect information and evidence for the study In addition, synthesis material of speaking and giving some suggestions for students to improve English speaking skills through language games activities Researching questions - What is the real situation of the participation of students in nong cong school? - What the teachers to attract the participation of students in the English lessons? - What solutions can be effectively applied to English teaching to increase the students’ participation in class? Results of the survey I have carried out the survey of real situations of teaching and learning the part- pronuonciation, intonation and rhythm in language focus classes skill in class 10B2 and 10B5 (the school year: 2019- 2020) and I have got the following result: Class 10B2 Before applying innovative techniques (According to the figures at the beginning of the school- year 2019 – 2020) Excellent Good Fair Poor 0% 5% 25% 70% 10B5 0% 8% 27% 65% Games are often used in language teaching However, this thesis only focus on the games to develop speaking skills Especially to improve speaking skills of the grade 10 students at Nong Cong upper secondary School, the researcher intends to investigate the current situation of teaching and learning speaking skill, then apply some language games in teaching speaking skills in grade 10 at Nong Cong upper secondary School, finally to make some suggestion for improving speaking skills for students through using language games activities III Solutions Some suggested games used in teaching speaking Warm – up A warm up activity is often a short and fun game which the teacher can use with his students The purpose of warms up is to prepare them to learn by stimulating their minds Warm ups should last about five minutes 1.1 Mapped dialogue Unit 2: School talk Type of games: Mapped dialogue Classroom management: Pair works Teaching aid: handouts Time: 5- minutes Procedure: Teachers give a situation and write a short conversation on the board (teachers can use a sub- board or a PowerPoint presentation) Situation: Suppose that meet a friend at the supermarket, you are very busy How will you say to spend and end the conversation?
