SKKN Innovatinggroup meeting procedure and contents to enhance teachers’speaking skill and its effectiveness in high school

PART 1: INTRODUCTION

. Rationale

When young teachers have just graduated from universities and gone out to

work, they usually have the habit of speaking English. Their voices are beautiful

and sweet. But at most schools English teachers are judged by the scores of their

students’ entrance exam. So they spend most of their time teaching students

grammar, reading and do multiple choice exercises. They mostly use Vietnamese

in class so day after day they gradually lose their speaking habit. But as we know,

only when the teachers have the habit of speaking English can they teach their

students to speak English well. So there is an urgent need to enhance teachers’

overall competences especially speaking skill to meet the requirement of teaching

English in this modern society.

In most of group meetings, English teachers usually speak Vietnamese and do

paperwork with very low effect and waste a lot of time. Many groups hold group

meeting just because principals require them to do so not because they have

demand to do so.

Group meeting are excellent opportunities for English teachers to enhance

their overall competences especially speaking skill to meet the new demand in this

modern society.

That is the main reason why I decided to choose the topic: “Innovating

group meeting procedure and contents to enhance teachers’speaking skill and

its effectiveness in Hoang Mai 2 high school”.

In this experience idea I address some reasons that affect teachers speaking

abilities and suggest some solutions to make full use of group meetings to enhance

teachers’ speaking skill.
