1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Reason for choosing the topic:
In the moment of the future of the land of the current land sources that
you will need it. Do not raise the entire education of the education, training the
creativity for the quality of, sense, skills, applications and highlighting of
educational education. The new learning to learn the method to work in the
active activity of the student to the tasking, orbit of each of the field and each of
a teacher. Therefore, the renovation of secondary school textbooks as well as the
renovation of teaching methods requires the teacher to know how to integrate
into the lecture content related to culture, sports, tourism, learn about tangible
and intangible cultural values, festivals, relics, natural heritage related to the
lecture, the teachers must have attractive teaching methods and guidelines to
encourage the students' diligence, activeness, initiative, creativity and sense of
development, contributing to the students' self-learning ability, encouraging their
proposals, innovations and teachers' performance to teach and learn more
effectively.
With that in mind, English in the period of integration and development,
the boom period with information technology plays an equally important role.
Learning English is not just about learning, it is like a piece of jewelry, which is
indispensable in everyday life, learning and work. We find that, in the new
Secondary English program, in addition to providing vocabulary, grammatical
structures, the authors of the book have incorporated many of these related to the
knowledge of the commune. They make the lessons more realistic, helping them
to learn a lot of good knowledge, abundance and usefulness of mankind. This
leads to asking the English teacher not only to constantly research, create and
innovate methods but also to constantly improve and update their social

knowledge. But this is not all teachers know and it has caused many difficulties
for teachers when the lecture content is related to social knowledge.
Because, in order to successfully complete one lesson, the teacher is
required to have not only the technical ability but also the teacher's knowledge
in the subject. his lecture. In English, the teacher must have knowledge of the
country, such as the United Kingdom and the United States and other countries
around the world in terms of customs, custom, festivals ... On the other hand,
students who are not familiar with all the social knowledge, especially students
in remote areas and students with difficult conditions and less understanding get
information on TV or on the Internet. In addition, the English pilot program has
been expanded and taught in many rural schools. Social knowledge in many
articles has been mentioned. While most rural students do not know and write in
Vietnamese, they do not know how to write and how to write in English. So
students almost all depend on the teacher. This is why teachers need to grasp and
deepen the issues related to social knowledge in each lesson so that students can
easily understand and practice. But that's not all teachers can do.

1


Especially in the pilot grade 6 English book that follows the program of
the ten - year elementary school. Students, even though they have been studying
for three years in elementary school, are barely acquainted. Some children do
not grasp anything. That's why in 6th grade all the knowledge is almost new to
them. Mean while the content in some articles refer more to the historical relics,
wonders in the world. Teachers who have this social knowledge to introduce, tell
stories will attract the attention of students, attract the interest of students in the
lesson. Through these lessons, they have just discovered the new and applied
their knowledge to the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Thus, over a number of years of teaching, through my own experience I have

researched, consulted the materials to make the lessons contain content of social
knowledge (usually long articles) attractive and Enthusiastic teachers,
knowledgeable teachers make the lecture light, easy for children. In this article, I
would like to introduce the topic "Content and methods of teaching some
lessons related to social knowledge in English pilot class 6" to help the
teachers, you colleagues have a useful reference to teaching their subject.
1.2. Research purposes:
For a successful lesson, ask the teacher and the student to work together,
try to combine the new teaching method, so that the new lesson becomes
interesting and attractive to the children.
In this article, I would like to give some social knowledge related to the
lessons in the English program, helping the teacher understand the issues that
need to be taught thoroughly, carefully, from which to guide and help. They have
a great deal of preparation, thinking about the topic, the topic they are going to
study, so that they do not feel too difficult with the content of their lesson. In
addition, I would like to offer some methods of teaching social-related topics in
the English program 6, for co-workers to refer and apply to their lessons, to help
teach each of them. We are richer, more attractive, more efficient, catch up with
the development of society.
1.3. Research subjects:
The subject is applied to junior high school students and teachers in
English subjects at all levels. Specifically, students of ethnic minority secondary
school boarding in Cam Thuy district.
1.4. Research Methods:
- Method of summation through work experience and teaching.
- Study the content of social sciences related lessons in the English program 6.
- Find out relevant information in teacher books, in books and on the Internet.
- Investigation, comparison, analysis and synthesis.
- Tape, disc, pictures and other visual aids.
- Study tables and from social practice.

2. EXPERIENCE CONTENT:
2.1. Theoretical foundation of the experience:
With the requirements of current method innovation, good teaching is not
only the work of individual teachers, but also the activities of the teacher
collective, the participation of families and unions. The pedagogical process, is
to create a friendly environment, open to students. Fine is not only teaching
through books, but also through practice, not only knowledge but also do,
practice life skills, learn the history and culture. Good teaching, good learning is
not only teachers who teach, but themselves, through active learning activities,
collective activities, social activities that help each other grow up, self-training.
In order to achieve the above goals, teachers and students should prepare what is
before the lesson.
2.2. Situation of the problem before applying the initiative:
In the present time, the period of information technology development
such as storms is easier for our teachers to update information through books,
television, radio, and especially is through the Internet, where we can learn,
explore the endless source of knowledge of mankind. That does not mean that
anyone can do, from the fact that I realize:
a. For teachers:
We all know that teaching is both scientific and artistic. It always requires
the creativity of the teacher in the process of teaching. However, there can be no
creativity without adequate preparation. Therefore, preparation for class is not
only necessary but also a must for not only the new teacher. It is also a great
experience for teachers.
In order to have a successful lecture, the teacher must have a deep
understanding of the problem he is transmitting. Sometimes the instructions in
the teacher's book are not enough, asking teachers to find out more, in fact,

because the working conditions of each school, each region and individual
teachers not everyone is easy to find. understand the information. As a result, the
teachers understand the problem they are transmitting in an insecure way,
embarrassing when introducing the content of the lesson, thus making the lesson
become rigid, bored, lively, students not interested in learning. In some cases the
student raises a question about social knowledge that is relevant to the content of
the unit, but the teacher does not answer, which is not explained by the
frustration of the student.
b. For students:
English is still a difficult subject for children, asking them to learn about
structures, vocabulary, how to use them. In addition, they need to have social
knowledge related to the content of the lesson, but in fact, there are some
articles, although teachers have introduced in Vietnamese but they still do not
understand it is still. What ? In addition to the general difficulties of the age
3


group, most of them are children of ethnic minorities (99%), remote areas, far to
study and stay boarding school. Thus knowledge of social knowledge is limited
only through lectures in class as well as knowledge through the lessons, but the
reality for children to explore and understand the conditions as well. The
situation they can not do.
For example: When it comes to the natural wonders of the world, the customs
of the New Year's Day in a country in the world and some regions as well as
some ethnic groups in the country or comparative levels talk about the tops.
mountains, the tallest tower in the world ... Vietnamese children still do not
understand how can support their English lessons effectively.
2.3. Solutions used to solve the problem:
From the above situation, teaching and learning English in junior high
school especially for mountainous districts and schools with difficult material

conditions is really difficult. At the same time, awareness of the importance of
subject matter is limited. Therefore, the sense of self-discipline in the subject is
not high. So how do students gain more knowledge and understanding of social
knowledge to apply in daily life through the contents of lessons in class,
especially pupils are ethnic minorities, The distance is not easy for the teacher.
In the present time, the period of information technology development such as
storms has made it easier for our teachers to update information through books,
television, radio and especially via the Internet, where we can learn, explore the
endless knowledge of humanity.
At the same time as the need for a new exchange of methods, good
teaching is not only the work of individual teachers, but also the work of
teachers, the involvement of the family , the team to the pedagogical process, is
to create a friendly environment, open to students. Good teaching is not only
teaching through books, but also through practice, not only knowledge but also
do, practice life skills, learn the history, culture. Good teaching is not only
teaching through books, but also through practice, not only understanding but
also doing, practicing river skills, learning the historical and cultural relics.
Good teaching, good learning is not only teachers who teach, but themselves,
through active learning activities, collective activities, social activities that help
each other grow up, self-training. To achieve these objectives, what are the
requirements for teachers and students to prepare for the lesson?
From the above I have researched and implemented the subject "Content
and methods of teaching some lessons related to social knowledge in English
pilot class 6".
a. Prepare teachers and students for lessons that contain content related to
social knowledge:
For these lessons to be effective, ask the teacher to be prepared for issues
that are relevant to the content of the unit and to have students explore the issues
in advance. . But if we go to the next lesson and ask them to learn, it will not be
timely, because at the beginning of the school year, I read and understood the

4


content of the lessons related to social knowledge and division. group, the group
for the children learn, take points as a large assignment of the group. This is just
the way to build the collective children, as well as create conditions for them to
find out in advance the content of the lesson freely, voluntarily. Depending on
the student and the conditions of each school, teachers can teach students topics
related to the lesson by week, by month or by period.
b. Some relevant social sciences in the 6th grade English program:
* In A closer look 2 of Unit 5: "Natural wonders of the world" we learn about
the highest mountain, the longest river, the hottest desert, the highest waterfall in
the world and the largest lake, the sea the longest in Vietnam.
Mount Everest (the other name:
Chomolungma Peak) is the
tallest mountain on Earth when
compared to sea level, up to the
present time of 8848 meters, it
dropped to a height of 2.4
centimeters after the Nepal
earthquake on 4/25/2015 and
moved 3 cm to the southwest.

Ba Be Lake is a freshwater lake in Bac Kan, Vietnam. It is one of
the hundred largest freshwater
lakes in the world and is located in
the Ba Be National Park, which is

recognized as a national tourist
site in Vietnam. The lake was
formed over 200 million years
ago. By the end of the Cambrian
continental Southeast Asia, a huge
body of water with a surface area
of approximately 5 million square
meters and a thickness of over 30
Ba Be Lake
meters was built up on the
limestone mountains, creating the Ba Be Lake. The three tributaries of the lake
are known as Pe Lam, Pe Lu and Pe Leng. The largest value of Ba Be is the
unique geological landscape, outstanding geomorphological value and
tremendous value. biological type. This is the largest natural freshwater lake in
Vietnam. In 1995, Ba Be Lake was recognized by the World Hook Conference,
held in the United States, as one of 20 special freshwater lakes of the world to be
protected. In late 2004, Ba Be National Park was recognized as an ASEAN
Heritage Garden.

* Next to the skills1 of Unit 5: When it comes to Ha Long Bay, the

In practice, after learning the lessons related to social knowledge I
applied, I realized that the learning outcomes of the students were significantly
improved compared to the ones that had not been applied. The results are as
follows:

Comparing the results of the survey at the beginning of the year and the
results obtained when using these methods in the lecture, the number of pupils
who have not met the requirements has decreased markedly. It can be said that if
there is an understanding and preparation of teachers and students about the
social knowledge involved in the lesson, the quality of their learning will be
enhanced. Detail:
- In one hour, English teachers provide students with an understanding of what is
involved in social knowledge.
- Contribute to promoting the positive of students.
19

- Strengthening lesson learned.
- Students absorb the paper gently and comfortably.
- Improve students' thinking skills.
- Most students prefer to learn English.
- Students understand faster, deeper.
- Remember knowledge and apply more quickly.
From the above results, I applied bravely in other classes with the students
when the contents of the lesson related to social knowledge have the same result.
Through that I can confirm the success of the topic.
3. LESSONS LEARNED - CONCLUSION:
3.1. Lessons Learned:
As we all know: Education is the key to open the future. A modern
education candle can not not universal English. Active research, step by step
improving the quality of teaching is an urgent task. In order to do that, one of the
most effective forms of teaching is that teachers must master the relevant social
knowledge in the content of the unit. Through the topic, I draw some concrete
lessons as follows:
First: Teachers must be aware of the important role of learning and directing
students to understand the relevant social knowledge in the unit.
Second: Teachers need to flexibly apply the tips to fit the content of each lesson
to inspire students.
Third: Teachers, besides exploring and innovating teaching methods, also need
to build a variety of exercises, suitable with the content of the lesson and the
students create passion and excitement for the children learn. In addition to
flexible use of teaching methods. The teacher must have a solid professional
qualification, a sense of responsibility for the education of the young generation
and especially creative passion in the profession.
Fourth: Teachers need to regularly attend class, study class, study materials,
update information, learn, consult with colleagues to have effective teaching
methods for each student.

3.2. Conclude :
As a foreign language teacher, I have always been aware of the importance of
the subject in the present time, the explosion of information science, which
requires each teacher to always Improve self knowledge, in addition, must also
be passionate, energetic, active, close to students. Always provide the best
environment for students to learn. So in this topic, I would like to introduce
" Content and methods of teaching some lessons related to social knowledge
in English pilot class 6".
20


for co-workers to refer and apply flexibly to the lecture. It depends on the
conditions of each school and the content of each lesson ... so how do we have
the most exciting and effective lesson. In this article I am sure that inevitably
will be inevitable, look forward to receiving the attention, comment, evaluation
of colleagues.
I sincerely thank!
