INTRODUCTION
Tiếng Anh 4 is the second of the three-level English coursebooks for Vietnamese
primary school pupils learning English as a foreign language (EFL). The book
follows a systematic, cyclical and theme-based syllabus, approved by the Ministry
of Education and Training in August, 2010, which takes a thorough development of
skills, but gives particular emphasis to listening and speaking at the early stage.
The whole coursebook reflects the carefully sequenced pedagogy of warm-up,
presentation, practice, application and assessment to develop language and
developmental skills through four macro themes - Me and My Friends, Me and My
School, Me and My Family, and Me and the World Around.
Twenty richly illustrated, cross-curricular and theme-based units focus on
offering pupils motivation, memorable lessons and a joyful learning experience
of English. Clear lessons follow a logical progression and include a wide range of
learning styles with activities that help pupils to develop coordination, critical
thinking, pre-language skills as they learn to speak and understand English.
Singing activities, total physical response (TPR), chants, and exciting games
reinforce previously learnt vocabulary, motivate pupils and help them to build
confidence in communicating in English.

UNIT COMPONENTS

Tiếng Anh 4 - Student’s Book includes
twenty units and four reviews.
Each unit offers pupils a sense of
security through predictable
activities which are systematically
sequenced from listening to
speaking, reading and writing.
Each unit is organized around a
familiar topic and consists of three
lessons. Each lesson provides
materials for two periods (or eighty
minutes) of class contact.

4


After the warm-up step with a song or a
game, conducted by the teacher, the
presentation part of the unit begins with
Look, listen and repeat. This part is
colourfully illustrated to set up the
situation in which English is used.
The input language is mostly presented in
the form of a dialogue to make language
realistic that motivates and engages
pupils’ interest in their learning English.
Pupils look at the picture(s) which set(s)
the context for understanding the text,
listen to the recording and repeat the
dialogue to get inputs for the next part.

This part provides the vocabulary for
pupils to speak English using sentence
patterns. Specially chosen words are
linked up with their meanings through a
variety of appealing illustrations. This is
an interractive activity that is conducted
in pairs or groups.
Finally, the pair or group demonstration in
front of the class offers pupils the feelings
of security, achievement and confidence
in using the new language.

This part provides pupils with an
opportunity to speak English freely in
different contexts, using the language
they have learnt in the previous
part. It also helps to reinforce pupils’
understanding and memory.

This part aims at developing pupils’
listening skills. It is designed to focus
pupils’ attention on the language
competence introduced and practised
in the previous parts. It is also a flexible
means of checking pupils’ comprehension.
Firstly, this part provides a reason and
purpose for listening. Then, it requires
pupils to listen and put a tick in the
chosen box as they listen. After that, they
trade their answers in pairs or groups for

correction. Finally, a few individuals are
selected to report their work in front of the
class.

5


This part gradually introduces pupils
to the sounds of English through a
phonics chant that presents one or
two sound features at a time. Phonics
provides a useful tool for pupils to
rely on when they come across new
vocabulary in listening, speaking,
reading and spelling. Troublesome
sounds to Vietnamese pupils are
carefully selected from the material
in each unit to be focused on, and
presented in a chant for pupils to
practise pronouncing the focused
sound(s) in a natural and motivating
fun way.
This part provides the development of
listening skills. Like the listening part
in Lesson 1 it is designed to provide a
reason and purpose for listening. It is
also a further means of checking pupils’
listening comprehension. The activity
requires pupils to listen and number
the correct boxes as they listen. After

that, they trade their answers in pairs
or groups for correction. Finally, a few
individuals are selected to report their
work in front of the class.
This part aims at developing reading
abilities. The reading text is often based
on the vocabulary and structures that
pupils have previously acquired to
make the activity achievable. Reading
comprehension at this level is often
checked by matching pictures to texts and
vice versa or completing the missing words
in a sentence. At this level, pupils are often
required to read aloud at the after-reading
stage to reinforce their pronunciation
ability.
This part is specially developed to provide
additional material to keep pupils motivated
and activated after the writing activities.
Games are enjoyable and useful tools to
encourage pupils to participate in the use
of English for entertainment. They also help
to develop pupils’ social skills such as taking
turns, cooperating, listening to others, and
observing the rules of the game. Many
games can help to develop the memory and
concentration skills as well.
6

This part provides additional language
input for listening and speaking
activities. New vocabulary, e. g. plural
form of nouns, pronouns, or verbs, is
presented in already learnt sentence
patterns.
Pupils look at the pictures to study the
contextualized input language, listen
to the teacher’s explanations and then
to the recording for the first time. After
that, they listen again and repeat each
line of the dialogue, and then the whole
dialogue.
This part provides the practice of
additional language input. Pupils practise
speaking, using the new material to recall
and memorise vocabulary and structures
in an expanding network of meanings.
As structured, this is an interractive
activity in pairs or groups. It is followed
by a pair or group report to the class that
promotes the pupils’ feelings of security,
achievement and confidence in using
English.
This part follows the listening and
speaking activities in the previous sections
to reinforce the lear nt material. Writing
activity at this level of English learning is
aimed to support and consolidate oral and
aural activities. That is a reinforcement of

the understanding and spelling of familiar
vocabulary and sentence patterns. Pupils
are required to write the missing words in
structures that are previously lear nt or to
write simple answers with “yes”, “no” or a
single word, e.g. a noun, a preposition, and
a verb.
This part is specially developed to
provide additional material to keep pupils
motivated and inspired after the reading
activities.
Like chants, songs are natural, spontaneous,
and enjoyable ways to learn English. Pupils
like music and learning popular rhymes
can help them to develop their awareness
of English stress, rhythm and intonation.
This activity also enables an interaction and
cooperation among individual pupils in the
same class.

SKILLS AND LANGUAGE TEACHING
in Tieng Anh 4

I. Teaching Listening

In Tiếng Anh 4, listening is one of the two communicative skills to receive more
emphasis. Through listening, pupils become familiar with the sounds, the stresses, the
rhythms and the intonation of English. When listening, children are actively engaged in

constructing meaning and making sense of what they hear, using their knowledge and
the clues provided by the context. So it is very important to teach pupils to be aware of

the reason for and purpose of listening;

the content of the listening text; and

the speaker’s voice.
There is a three-staged plan in teaching listening: before, while, and after listening.
•Before listening aims

to motivate and engage pupils in the listening activity;

to establish a reason for listening;

to encourage pupils to predict the listening content, using a poster or situational
illustrations in the Student’s Book such as puppets, realia and flashcards; and

to introduce new language or vocabulary which occurs in the listening text.
•While listening aims to help pupils

say the words and/or the sentences correctly;

understand spoken English; and

develop a sub-listening skills such as listening for gist or listening for details.
•After listening aims

to help pupils show their listening comprehension in front of the class; and


to provide a follow-up spoken/written activity such as speaking, or writing down
what pupils have listened.
II. Teaching Speaking

Speaking in Tieng Anh 4 is of two forms: spoken interaction and spoken production. The
first refers to the ability to ask and answer questions and handle exchanges with others.
The second refers to pupils’ ability to produce language appropriately and correctly.
Speaking in Tieng Anh 4 includes:
•Pronunciation is learnt through dialogues, games, rhymes and songs. Through these
forms pupils get familiar with the stress, rhythm and intonation patterns of English
8


in a natural way. It is crucial to provide pupils with lots of models and to build up their
confident acceptance of approximate pronunciation. Insistence on young learners’
correct pronunciation is likely to bring about a counter-effect.
•Repetition helps pupils to memorise vocabulary and ‘chunks’ of language. Repetition
and classroom routines build up an expanding repertoire of English that helps pupils
to understand and respond to a situation as a part of communicative interaction
in class. The best strategy is to provide lots of opportunities for pupils to practise
with a secure feeling through choral repetition of action rhymes and games. It is
also important to establish some classroom routines such as greetings and saying
goodbyes at the beginning and the end of the lessons, asking for permissions, saying
common classroom expressions such as I don’t understand; Could you say it again,
please?; May I ask you a question? or in answering a question, I don’t know;
I think/guess . . .; and Perhaps...,...
•Speaking activities are designed to foster active listening. Pupils learn to take turns
and respect others’ opinions when practising in pairs and/or groups. It is advisable to
remember the following sequences when conducting a speaking activity.


Make clear the purpose of a speaking activity. Elicit talks from pupils the context of
the speaking activity, using a poster or pictures from the Student’s Book, realia, etc.

Model the focused language several times, using a demonstration pair and the
vocabulary sets provided in the Student’s Book.

Ask pupils to repeat in chorus before doing pairwork or groupwork and focus on
stress, rhythm and intonation. Offer help, when necessary, to make pupils feel secure
and promote their confidence in speaking.
•After speaking includes some remedial work as well as follow-up activities in the form
of a writing or a reading task or an integrated activity.
III. Teaching Reading

In developing reading skills in English, pupils are taught to read aloud, following the
pictures and the texts in their Student’s Book. This provides an implicit opportunity for
pupils to get familiar with conventions of print and text.
The reading text is based on the familiar language materials which have been orally/
aurally practised, and the use of a whole-word sign recognition as well as phonics. The
use of phonics is usually most effective when embedded in a context such as a rhyme or
a chant. 
Explanations should be given to pupils when they do not understand the meaning of a
word. Some reading strategies such as focusing on familiar words, guessing unfamiliar
words in a logical context, and looking at cued pictures for meaning should be taught to
pupils.
The reading activities in Tieng Anh 4 aim to help pupils to develop sub-skills such as
skimming for gist and scanning for details. Teaching reading, like teaching other skills, can
be staged into before, while and after reading.
•Before reading prepares a motivating and interesting atmosphere. Elicit from pupils
before they are going to read a text, using a poster, puppets, the pictures from the
Student’s Book, realia, etc. Encourage pupils to guess what the text is about before

reading it.
9


•While reading helps pupils to

link the pictures and the clues with the meaning of the text.

understand the main idea of the text (Reading for gist).

understand the details of the text (Reading for details).
•After reading aims to consolidate pupils’ understanding of the text and reinforce their
pronunciation through a follow-up activity either in spoken or in written form.
IV. Teaching Writing

Writing in Tieng Anh 4 aims to develop pupils’ elementary writing skills in English. Pupils
are taught to coordinate hand, eye and subtle motor skills. They need to have the effort
and concentration which go into forming letters and words. Initial writing emphasis
is on supporting and reinforcing oral/aural work, particularly the spelling of familiar
vocabulary and sentence patterns.
•Before writing aims to help pupils to understand why they write and provides them
with the language materials to express their ideas in English.
•While writing aims to help pupils to work independently under the teacher’s guidance
and supervision.
•After writing helps pupils to consolidate their writing skills through a follow-up activity
such as copying the text onto pupils’ notebooks or on a clean sheet of paper, focusing
on neatness, spelling and punctuation.
V. Teaching Pronunciation

T eaching pronunciation in Tieng Anh 4 consists of teaching Phonics and Songs/ Rhymes/

Chants. Phonics enables pupils to recognise the relationship between letters or letter
combinations and the sound(s) they make. With the knowledge of phonics, pupils are
able to improve their speaking and reading skills because they can identify the spelling
and the pronunciation patterns of the listening texts and decode them quickly. Focus
pupils’ attention on the letter(s) and its/their sound(s) in words, and model the new sound(s)
a few times for pupils to repeat.
In teaching Phonics/Songs/Rhymes/Chants, it is advisable that the teacher should
introduce the songs/rhymes/chants in which the new sounds are embedded; teach new
vocabulary, using flashcards, realia, pictures, etc. and mime the lines if possible; focus
pupils’ attention on the letter(s) and its/their sound(s) in words; model the new sound(s)
a few times for pupils to repeat.

play the recording a few times, having pupils repeat each line of the song/rhyme/
chant and clap their hands at the words containing the focused sounds;

organise pupils to work in pairs or groups to practise the song/rhyme/chant; and

call on some volunteers to perform the song/rhyme/chant in front of the class and
have the rest of the class clap their hands at the rhythms of the chant.
VI. Teaching Vocabulary

T eaching vocabulary helps pupils to understand, memorise and use the words
appropriately in their specific contexts.
10


Young pupils learn chunks of English which combine vocabulary and grammatical
patterns in an unanalysed way. Therefore, it is crucial to give pupils plenty of time to
practise, memorise, recycle, and extend their vocabulary and grammar in meaningful
contexts.

In learning vocabulary, pupils need to learn the form of the word (sound and spelling)
as well as its meaning and other related aspects of words such as grammatical
changes in forms and collocations.
 egular recycling of vocabulary helps pupils to meet the same words embedded in
R
different contexts and activities again and again.
 hen teaching vocabulary, it is important to help pupils to recognise, practise
W
and memorise vocabulary by responding to a puppet/real object or a flashcard or
associating words, meanings and pictures/real objects/facts. These can be done by

playing the recording for pupils to listen and repeat the word;

explaining its meaning, using definitions, pictures, flashcards, realia and translation
if necessary; and

getting pupils to practise, using the word with a range of spoken or written
activities which can be done individually or in pairs.
VII. Teaching Grammar

Teaching grammar helps pupils to use grammatical patterns correctly to express their
ideas in specific contexts.
Young learners of English begin their English grammar learning based on formulaic
sequences and unanalysed chunks of language met in the context of dialogues,
readings, chants, rhymes, stories, songs and games. Through activities, pupils develop
a sense of achievement and gradually transfer chunks to new contexts and use them
creatively.
 ne way to enable pupils’ language awareness is drawing their attention to specific
O
language patterns or features of grammatical forms and, if necessary, comparing

or contrasting these with corresponding patterns and forms in Vietnamese. The
appropriate techniques to be used to teach pupils are:

focusing pupils’ attention on the new grammatical pattern in the text(s);

playing the recording for pupils to listen and follow in their Student’s Book, and
asking them some questions to check their comprehension;

playing the recording again for pupils to listen;

providing models for pupils to practise the new grammatical item in a spoken or
written activity, using the cued pictures or prompts in their books; and

reinforcing the new grammatical item with a variety of spoken and written
activities.

VIII. Optional Activities

At the early stage, encourage pupils to make their guess of the meaning of the word(s)
or to ask a classmate for it. Spelling the word(s) would be fun and motivating.
The followings are some suggested techniques:
1. Writing. Give a list of focused words which you want pupils to spell correctly. Select
some pupils to read the words aloud. Individually, pupils look at each word, say it,
then write it down into their notebooks. Pupils trade their work in pairs or groups for
correction.
2. Spelling. Focused words are written on the board. Assign one word to each
pupil to copy it onto a small piece of paper. Collect the pieces of paper, mix them up

and put them into a box. Have two teams take turns to pick out a word and say it to
their opposing team member. This pupil must spell it correctly to score a point.
3. Dictation. Pupils work in pairs or in groups, taking turns to dictate the focused
words to each other. Then they check each other’s spelling.
4. Word cards. Prepare word cards for the focused words you wish to check. Have two
teams of four pupils to be involved in the activity. Pupils from each team take turns
to come to the front of the class to pick a card. They act out the word on the card for
their team, who have to guess the word, up to five tries, to score a point.
5. Bingo. Draw a word grid on the board and ask pupils to copy it. Pupils tell you the
words they have studied in their lessons. List them on the board. Pupils choose the
words from the list to copy them into their grid. While they are doing this, copy each
word onto a piece of paper, put the pieces of paper into the bag, and mix them up.
Select pupils to pick out a piece of paper and to call out the word. Pupils with that
word in their grid put a cross on it. Continue the game until there is a pupil who has
the words on a straight line crossed out.
6. Total Physical Response (TPR). TPR is used throughout the course to associate the
language with the movement and actions to provide pupils with a strong support for
language comprehension. It provides a physical and fun context for the successful
understanding of key language, without the need to produce accurate English at an
early stage of learning. The procedure is as follows:
Presentation
•Play the recording or say the text. Do the actions associated with the text.
•Repeat the step.
•Play the recording again without actions.
Review
•Play the recording or say the text. Do the actions associated with the text.
•Repeat the step.
•Ask pupils to share ideas with a group to see how much of the text they can
remember.
•Say the text again without actions.

12


7. Chants, Rhymes and Songs. There is a link between the theme or topic and the
content of the chants, rhymes or songs. In terms of teaching procedure, the following
alternatives should be considered instead of merely singing.
•Use puppets or finger puppets to react the rhyme or song with pupils.
•Have pupils copy the text or draw a picture for it.
•Groups of children create a tune for a rhyme, and sing it.
8. Pairwork/Groupwork. Pupils should be given clear instructions about what they are
expected to do and say. Followings are some suggested teaching steps.
•Whole class. Elicit/Teach/Model then write the focused language (words/phrases/
questions/answers) that pupils need on the board.
•Model. Perform the focused materials yourself or ask a pair to demonstrate in front of
the class. Help and guide them to interact in a reasonably structured manner. This will
enable the freer stage of independent class pairwork/groupwork that will follow.
•Repeat the step with a new demonstration pair.
•Pupils practise in pairs or groups. Monitor the activity and offer help if necessary.
•Ask a confident pair or some volunteers to perform the task for the rest of the class.
•Whole class. At the end of the activity, there should be some writing activity to
reinforce or consolidate pupils’ understanding.
