SKKN Themes using techniques in english teaching procedures

1. introduction.

           1.1. Reason for choosing the topic

       Nowadays, English has become the most important language of all languages in the world. English is the official language in a large number of countries. English is the dominant business language and it has become almost a necessity for people to speak English if they want to enter a global workforce. Its importance in the global market place therefore cannot be underestimated, learning English really can change our life. Many of the world’s top films, books and music are published and produced in English. Therefore by learning English we will have access to a great wealth of entertainment and will be able to have a greater cultural understanding.

       Most of the contents produced on the internet is in English. So knowing English will allow us to access to an incredible amount of information which1.050.000 may not be otherwise available!

Although learning English can be challenging and time-consuming, we can see that it is also very valuable to learn and can create many opportunities!

The more proficient in English we are, the more opportunities for promoting our abilities in life we get.

      Vietnamese people‘s study habit of focusing on the grammar is not easy to change, so we often have trouble communicating with other people in English.

To meet the need of changing the study habit, from the primary education, English teachers must direct their students to more active ways of learning English, in which students are given more listening and speaking activities.

In order for teaching students at this age to be effective, teachers must create diversified activities in English and students’ listening and speaking skills are trained more while taking part in these activities. In fact, it is easy for students to learn speaking a foreign language, once students actively use English to communicate with others, they will be more confident afterwards

        Primary school students are new to English, so they must be taught to pronouce exactly words. Listening to music in English or watching english programs on TV is necessary, Imitation is not deficient in process of teachning and learning English in primary school. Imitation helps students’learning develop further and better. Grammar is formed step by step in learning procedures.

The students must be given more pleasure than marks. Beside giving students marks to motivate them, teachers should use other techniques during teaching procedures.

        Using techniques not only helps teachers create exciting learning asmosphere, which is main motivation for students to try their best to gain good results but helps students actively participate in English using communicative environment without any shyness as well. Plentiful techniques will help students gradually form their own learning styles which are basic of quality and efficiency in learning as well as give them inspiration in learning a foreign language.

Therefore, I decided to study techniques to apply to teaching English 3, book 1.

1.2. The purpose of the research

– Help teachers and students find out interest in teaching and learning English

1.3.Research subject

–  Elementary school pupils in grade 3

1.4. Methods of research

In teaching English, helping student pupils learn words, memory is an indispensable teaching activities in a class. Because at the end of the learning process that also involves the mind if not in mind, we cannot learn. So finding ways to help them learn from and remember for a long time is the responsibility of each teacher with the aim to help students understand and use the words in sentences by context and remember for a long time .

Students may miss much at the beginning and the end rather than the middle of an operation. That also means that if we organize a few short activities, students may remember more than we do only a long operation. Best tool we can use in the classroom is a witty, teachers use a variety of materials capable of amusing and attract the attention of pupils in order to help students remember vocabulary immediately. We can use repeating simple fun game or song, and other methods to help pupils remember the words.

 To research this topic, I rely on:

– Refer to a number of English language teaching materials in primary school.

– Refer to program of new textbooks grade 3,4,5

– Draw on experience of learning from colleagues and administrators.

– Based on the results of the quality of the school of English

–  Fully participate in training courses for teachers of English at primary schools.

2. Content

2.1. Theoretical basis

– The textbook is appropriate content knowledge with real-life students and there are many beautiful pictures, easy on the eyes, to make my interest to students. Homework is varied of vocabulary.

 – Just as the primary school level, but parents are concerned about their child’s learning enthusiastically support the increase of knowledge.

 The development of information technology helps teachers with resources, images over the Internet.

Insufficient teaching equipments. Elementary school pupils are at very active age, most children like the teachers to use teaching aids students in the lesson

 – To the pupils, besides a number of serious study with many students all through the speakers, not inculcate vocabulary in memory, not reading writing regularly. Because at this age they are very playful, active learning should be highly awared. Parents’checking to the children at home also face difficulties. Since this is a foreign language and not many parents know to guide learning.

 – In the lesson,  to help them remember the word, the teacher often organizes the games, students will be very excited, but classes will be very susceptible to noise and so as to control, teachers need organize and help class be stable .

2.2. Reality of the research problem.

– In many English classes for grade 3 students, teachers rarely use techniques for carrying out their work.

– Many teachers don’t have experience in using techniques or they don’t choose the most effective techniques for teaching English 3.

– This book is the first one belonging to new english program for primary students, so making students eager for learning english is necessary while many periods at school don’t satisfy this because of lack of techniques in teaching procedures.

– Learning atmosphere is boring in many periods as teachers don’t have various activities for students’ participation. In fact, only by techniques do teachers make students actively take part in learning and students be  enthusiatic to learn.

– When teachers teach book 2, they don’t draw students’ attention any longer, as a result of monotonic teaching, without any techniques.

– The result before applying this topics(after finishing book 1) :

+Their love for learning english:

50 per of students actively and enthusiastically join the learning activities.

50 per of students are not interested in learning and they don’t also use english for communicating in learning process.

+The result at the end of the first semester, school year ………..by the final test:
