1. INTRODUCTION. 

          1.1. The reason for choosing the subject.

A recent survey showed that: English is the official language of more than 53 countries and territories,is the official language of the language of the EU and is the third language is widely used only after China with a population ,such as China and Spanish (and you note that with a population of over 1 billion people). Intrernational events, global organizations,…are considered English as the common language of communication.

Currently education plays a very important role for the survival and development of society and the standards for evaluating the development of a country Especially in today’s era of science and technology is developing rapidly, while our country is in a phase of international integration. To master the quintessence of culture, science and technology advances, the modern development of the country requires that we must have a certain level of foreign language. While English is an international language, a mean of international exchange most effectively. So that English is a subject no less important for the younger generation, especially students generation.

Moreover, in the present context the whole education and training are the innovation effort towards teaching method promoting positive ,initiative, creativity of students in learning activities. Because no one can replace the learners in grasping the foreign language media and use them in communication activities with their communication capacity. Communication is the ultimate goal of foreign language teaching and learning in schools. Often in English there are four skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, so the teacher must  incorporate 4 skills. But to practice any skills would require the children to have the necessary vocabulary.

However, learning English met a lot of difficulties in secondary schools in general Tan Lap particular especially in learning and using of English words. So to teach students how to learn, practice and use of English words in order to give students a living dictionary of treasure is an essential requirement in learning English especially for new students get familiar with subjects in English. In addition, most of the students here are athnic people(The Muong) and they are familiar with speaking their own language (Muong language) even at class to cause a lot of difficulties for me to teach them how to get a necessary vocabulary and can use their vocabulary in a most effective way. They are very interested in learning English at the beginning of the first semester but over time they feel afraid, decreased interest because the vocabulary is too difficult for them to remember. This leads the quality department increasingly decline in the second semester. Through practical research and teaching to remedy this situation, I boldly launched an innovative experience “Some techniques of teaching English vocabulary for grade 6 students of Tan Lap secondary school remarkably.”

           2.1. Theoretical basis.

The Education Law 2005 (Article 5) stipulates that “Educational methods must promote learners ‘self-efficacy, self-awareness, initiative and creativity, fostering learners’ ability to learn by themselves, Onions, passion for learning and the will to rise. “[1]

With the goal of general education is to “Help students develop holistic, ethical, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and basic skills, develop personal ability, dynamism and creativity, shape. To build up the character of the socialist Vietnamese people, to build up the civic character and responsibilities, prepare students to continue their studies or to enter into labor and participate in the construction and defense of their homeland. ” The general education program promulgated in conjunction with the Decision No. 16/2006 /QD-BGDDT dated May 05, 2006 of the Minister of Education and Training also stated: “It must promote positive, Students ‘initiative and creativity, suitable with subject characteristics, student characteristics, conditions for each class, fostering students’ self-learning method, cooperation ability, training skills Use knowledge in practice, affect emotions, bring joy, excitement and responsibility for learning for students.
