The Theme: “Some activities in post listening - grade 11”

I. INTRODUCTION
English is a one of the difficult subjects for students. Most of them
are not really interested in this subject because they have less communicative
environment, words and poor knowledge background. The skills: reading,
listening, writing, and speaking are still weak.One of four skills that English
learners have problem is that listening skills. Meanwhile, they are passive in
getting knowlege. Many still depend on the availableresponds.The ideas are
not paying attention to the content of the unit.
From the fact that I will do anything to stimulate and create
excitement for the children to develop skills, especially listening skills. I have

researched and applied the theme “Some activities in post listening - grade 11” with
the purpose of attracting the student 's fun in class .The main reason is that I
can choose this theme.

II. CONTENTS
1. Theotical bases
Through the lessons, I find that the purpose of listening is to develop students'
listening skills such as intensive listening ,extensive listening, listening for
specific information, listening for gist...... That is why I think we need to
redesign some activities in "Post Listening" in the lessons. After each session,
there must be a change in form and other activities to promote the
comprehension skills of students after listening such as: Reorder the pictures,
ask & answer (Question & Answer), use the words to make a meaningful
sentence, fill in the gap (Gap-Fill), play the role (Roleplay), discussion ),
Games (games) ......
Listening activities in the "Post-Listening" do not exceed 10 minutes
in each listening lesson.These activities must be linked to the content of each
lesson and should be appropriate for the student's ability; they shouldn’t be
too difficult but not too easy to cause boredom for students. Besides,
Listening activities should make a real excitement for students, make them
active when they hear, avoid boredom during class hours. Because after
listening, they can talk about some of the new content they have heard in

other forms.
2. Practical bases
Through listening lessons, I find that most of the students are passive,
not really interested in learning. This is because most of the children already
have answered in the booklet.
When the teacher asked to listen to the answer, they did not really
focus on the content of the lesson, just ask the teacher about the exercises in
the book, they give the answer completely correct. ; But there are still some
who have not heard yet. Moreover, previous years in the team also agreed to
do a listening test (15 minutes), but the quality of their listening is not high.

The Theme: “Some activities in post listening - grade 11”

From this point of view, I think I need to redesign the listening
exercises in "Post-Listening" with various activities to promote students'
listening and comprehension skills; These activities are moderate, not too
difficult nor too easy.However, through activities in the "Post-Listening" we
can also promote the organization of activities for students to work in groups,
pairs, or individuals ..... This encourages the children to be more and more
confident and active while learning.
3.Solution
* Preparation:
a. For students:
Students are expected to prepare vocabulary at home before going to

class. The teacher can give the words that need to be taught in the listening
section so that students can pre-compose the meaning of the words.
(Absolutely no students preview the tapescripts of each post). If the teacher
discovers that the student will be deducted.
b. For teacher:
+ Teachers should redesign their activities in the "Post-Listening" section so
that they are not distracting to the students who already have their answers in
the booklet. Depending on the teacher, you can use Pictures, Posters,
Handouts, ... to save time for students.
Classroom teachers work in pairs, groups, teams to suit each activity.
- Use Pictures, Posters, Handouts, charts ... for activities and instruct students
how to perform each activity appropriately.
- Bonus points if individuals, pairs or groups do well to encourage them,
create excitement while learning.

However, over-reading has some disadvantages. Firstly, It makes people lack
of real life knowledge. Secondly, It makes the eyes weak (short- sighted). It
makes people sleepy and have headache. It also makes people passive. Lastly,
It takes time away from other outdoor activities.
4. Effects of application:
By organizing some extracurricular activities in Nga Son high school, I
have got some achievements as follows:
+ The student's ability to hear and respond has made significant progress.
They have used some of the information they have just heard to switch to
speaking and writing skills. Therefore, other skills such as speaking and
writing are also promoted.
+ They are more confident, also volunteered to build the post in front of the

class.
+ Create the initiative and excitement for students to participate in listening
with new activities for each unit. Classroom is really exciting. They are
delighted to hear and hear exactly what they are hearing through their own
efforts.
+ Create agility when listening and responding after listening.
The relsult in detail: The result of two tests made before ( the 1st ) and after (
the 2nd )the application from 2 class: 11A and 11E I have taught.

III. CONCLUSION
Over the years teaching myself, I found that the application of
activities in the "Post-Listening" has brought about very positive results. - The

listening ability of students has made remarkable progress, besides the Other
skills such as speaking and writing are also enhanced. They are really
interested in learning the lessons.
These are the small experiences that I have picked up in the
classroom teaching English 11 in my school, of course I can not avoid certain
shortcomings. I hope I can build up ideas and learn more experiences of
colleagues to complete my theme.
I would like to thank.
The confirmation of the principle
