1. BACKGROUND
1.1. Reasons for choosing the theme.
In the context of deeper integration, English has become an essential tool
not only bring success in business, education, but also in life. As English has
affirmed the role and the importance of improving their quality of teaching is the
most important issue. Thus the task of every teacher is to innovate teaching
methods, improving the quality of teaching and learning in their respective
classes schools.
Learning each of any a different language requires learners to study four
skills: listening, reading, writing,speaking and use them smoothly and fluently.
Through practice at high schools in Trieu Son district in general and at

particular high school in my province, especially in mountainous areas, I see that
almost teachers only focus on teaching grammar and ignore the studying of
English skills, which is the reason why all of the students leaving the school
can’t speak and listen English or communicate with foreigners by simple
statements. Because of these problems, I have been an English teacher for 8
years, I have thought about them so much and made decision to change the
methods helping my students to focus on studying English skills and grammar
simultaneously.
Listening is one of the most difficult skills for all students at high school.
I am teaching the 10th grade this year. Whenever I give them listening lesson on
textbook, they feel bored, tired and don’t have motivation to study because they
can’t hear anything and can’t do exercises. To solve this problem, I decide to
warm up them in listening part by using English songs. At first,I had alot of
difficulties because each unit on textbook has one listening lesson and I have to
finish it within 45 minutes. There are three periods per week for English subject,
which is not enough time for me to focus only listening skill and to incorporate
English songs. Then I find a number of methods for positive, simple, easy to
understand practical ensure science to develop thinking ability; speculation and
creativity of students .I choose a warm up for the listening lesson which is a
short English songs from easy to difficulty.The students like this way and they
feel excited and enthusiastic with the lesson. In the process of teaching 10th
grade English in the past year as well as during the school year I have studied
the textbook program, instruction manuals and have related documents office,
internet,discuss with experienced colleagues in professional meetings, summer
training to find a way to overcome difficulties, to help them learn better, apply
the knowledge learned to do the exercises as required.
Based on the collected experience by myself and the knowledge gained
through the references, I wrote this little theme to contribute to improving the
quality of teaching of the subject, innovative teaching methods and learning.
2

With this small range of initiatives I boldly go into a problem “Using English
songs to warm up students of the tenth grade in listening part ”
1.2. The purpose of studying.
The use of “English songs in warm-up listening part" that I give to help
students be primarily interested in learning a foreign language and reduce the
maximum inhibition in studying foreign language at high school. Moreover, I
wanted to stimulate learners to listen English, the active form of communication.
In addition, I want to enhance my professional work on my own, and to
exchange experiences with my colleagues.
1.3. Studying scope
For foreign language lessons in grade 10 elementary.
1.4. Methods of studying
1.4.1. Method of theoretical studies.
- Base on the documentation and innovation of high school education
methods in English by the Department of Secondary Education - Ministry of
Education and Training issued.
- Collect songs on the theoretical journal, the presentation on the Internet.
1.4.2. Studying Methodologies include: observation, investigation,
analysis, exchange, statistics, aggregation, comparison, summarization.
1.4.3. Method specialists.
- Refer to the experience of a number of teachers who have a passion and
experience in the use of modern methods in teaching subjects in English.

2. Contents of theme.
2.1. Theoretical basis of the problem:

English, which is an international language is communicated all over the
world. One-fourth of the world population speaks English. So teaching English
is the most important issue in Viet Nam. Actually, We haven’t had suitable
methods to teach and study English, which results all of students in Viet Nam
can’t communicate in English and always of talking with foreigners. They are
not confident enough to talk. Because we often focus on teaching grammar and
ignore teaching the skills and vocabulary. Both teachers and students haven’t
had motivation to develop the lessons. To help students have amenities of
studying, the teacher should change the different methods to inspire for students.
Listening, which is one of the most difficult skills to learners and teachers is
easy to make students tired when studying. Therefore, before starting listening
unit, I motivate them by listening a short English song. I think that an interesting
English song will make them have amenities of lessons.
There are many ways to enhance the listening skill for students such as
watching English films, talking with the foreigners, listening to music, listening
the English tape lessons . Besides that, nowadays, there are also many kinds of
books introducing the methods to improve listening skills : Tactics for listening
– basic ( author- Jack C . Richards), Listen carefully (Jack C . Richards), Listen
in ( David Nunan),Big Step Toeic (Kim Soyeong và Park Won)…..
I chose the English songs to stimulate my students to study listening skill.
2.2. The reality of studying listening skill before applying to the theme
2.2.1 To the students
English has become one of core subjects such as different subjects, but
this subject is difficult, only a few students who can absord it easily. Especially,
those students in rural and moutainous areas learn English badly.
In recent years, according to program of new textbooks, new methods of
teaching and learning, many students are interested in studying English, but
some students ignore to study it and they don’t have inspiration in learning
English. Many weaker students don't understand the knowledge, they don’t have
active learning methods, learn passively, wait for the results of his friend made.

In adddition, many children are afraid of speaking in class practices, afraid of
saying before the class because they think it would be wrong. Some of them
have not read the written proficiency, not even record the material in class, do
homework .... This fact shows that this object is not a favorite subject of many
students.
4


Some students, especially poor students, lack of sense of learning, lack of
patience in learning, have not kept pace with new learning methods, they
become confused with the acceptance and adoption of knowledge on practical
skills. Many are unaware on this matter, do not fully understand the meaning of
the subject during the international integration. Some of them learned is due to
their curiosity, relaxation. Therefore, they are not really serious about learning
and trying.
I also have language lessons students feel depressed, tired, hard to acquire
knowledge, even for those who are students with good and excellent. Whenever
I teach listening part, my students feel bored with it and they don’t like studying
because they can’t hear anything and can’t do the task. They don’t know more
new words and don’t focus on pronunciation, which is a reason makes them
listen badly. To improve their listening lesson. Firstly, I inspire to them,
stimulate them in each listening part by using the short English songs to warm
them up. Secondly, I teach them from easy to difficult.
School year 2015 – 2016 I was assigned to teach two classes 10A and
10B. Through practical investigation in the early year I obtained the following

2.2.2 To the teachers
Through practical projects at the time, there are a lot of teachers don’t
renew their methods, change perceptions and teaching habits although they
know that their students don’t like studying listening, even some teachers don’t
teach listening part, only teach grammar, writing, reading, speaking.They think
that their students can’t have the ability to listen. When I gave my theme, some
teachers strongly supported ,but others didn’t like. They thought that it was a
waste of time using this way and it made noise, which affected other classes.
They want to spend more time to focus on grammar because it serves their tests.

2.2.3 To the school
Facilities not really full. The outstanding teaching aids, reference books
which serve lessons are limited. This is an disadvantage for teachers and
students.
2.3. Solution and implementation
2.3.1 Solution:
Before beginning each part of unit in the textbook, the teachers warm up

the students by playing a game or ask some questions about things related to the
lesson. To listening skill, I often warm up my students by a short English song.
At first, some students don’t like because they can’t hear and can’t do the task
asked by me. Gradually, I am still patient step by step ,I give them some songs
from easy to difficult, which inspire them. At the end of first term they are
exciting about my listening strategy. Each part of unit has to finish within
45minutes. So there are a lot of activities for it. I try my best to plan and
distribute suitably for each section:
- Warm up: 10 minutes : listen the English song and do a small task. I give
them the song on a sheet of paper with gap, they have to listen and fill the gap.
- Pre-listening: 7 minutes: I often supply new words and phrases relating
to the listening lesson, which helps them to listen and do the task better .
- While-listening:21 minutes : I play the tape and conduct the student to
listen and do the tasks.
- Post-listening:7 minutes: ask students to review the lesson or do the task,
summarise the main points of the lesson and assign the homework.
2.3.2 Implementation
Within a short time in warm-up, It is difficult for me to choose the short
and interesting English songs, which is suitable with their tastes and can inspire
them.With the new method, I only give them a task while listening is filling the
easy gap.The most important thing is to make them enhance their listening
skill.There are 40 students in my class and the classroom is very large, I ask my
headmaster for two good speakers and laptop to serve my teaching. I also choose
6


the easy songs with familiar words. I hope that from my point of view, my
students will like and improve listening skill.
Some methods of organizing the implementation of enhancing listening
skill.

- Inspire for the students by using variety of English songs.
- Ask them to listen at home many times everyday because “ Practice
makes perfect”.
- Watch English films, listen to music, talk with foreigner and listen to the
tape from text book regularly, which also help them improve the listening skill.
- Ask them to remember the 10 principles of listening:
+ Stop talking.
+ Prepare yourself for listening.
+ Put the speaker at ease
+ Remove distractions.
+ Empathise
+ Be patient
+ Avoid personal prejudice
+ Listen to the tone
+ Listen for ideas – not just for words
+ wait and watch for non-verbal communications.
I give my students each song sheet with 10 or 15 blanks in in every
listening part of the textbook 10 and let them listen twice. Each song included
From 3 to 4 minutes. While listening they have to fill the words into the gaps.
After that I will give them keys to check. It was a new way to study with
students in my school and in a year implementation, I realise that my students
are interested in listening.
Within a short time I only give some songs as example, which I use them
to warm up my students in listening part.

3. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1. Results
Through the practical lessons ,poll the ideas of students and compare the
quality of the class. During training I noticed they no longer have to worry when
I give them listening lesson,they were excited and always expected the

listening part. It is different from these old days.English songs stimulated them
to study with listening part of text book 10. My colleagues saw the advantages
of using English songs to warm up the listening part. Now they support my way
and will follow it next year. For me, I will try much more to renew my method
and help my students to inspire with English.

3.2. General conclusion
Learning is a long hard work for students. Thus teachers who has not only
intensive knowledge but they also find ways to make lessons effective and
attract syudents’ attention. Guidance for children how to learn is one of the most
important methods, especially, it is necessary to encourage them to use English
in your life. Learning a language is to practise communicating without fear. So I
made some slight idea to help yourself find a method to develop listening skills
for students at high school in general and students in particular grades 10
efficiently,
help
students
achieve
high
academic
quality .
By applying this method, the teacher can stimulate their students with the
listening part, they are excited to study.It will improve their interest as well as
enhance listening skill.
Despite much effort, but there are certainly shortcomings. I welcome and
appreciate the valuable suggestions of colleagues to this method which can be
further improved.
3.3. Proposals.

In the process of implementing, I have some proposals:
- Providing enough facilities for teaching and learning of English at high
schools.
- Create a budget to procure the kind of videos, pictures and content rich
cultural mores, celebrity, festival, ... of the UK and the USA.
- Create favorable conditions for teachers to have access to information
technology and application to serve better for the teaching of English.
These are the thoughts and practical work by myself to improve the
quality of English teaching at high schools. Omission is inevitable, I look
forward to receive the comments of my colleagues at my school as well as in
others for this initiative to be more perfect and is used widely.
Sincerely thank you!
