1. THE MAIN
1.1 Reasons for selecting the topic.
Our country is in the process of developing the knowledge economy as the
foundation for development and consider education and training as the top national
policy and improve the quality of teaching and learning to successfully complete the
training. human resources for industrialization and modernization of the country. In
order to survive and develop our nation's construction and defense to keep pace with
the developed countries, we need to capture the most advanced achievements. Aiming
to make Vietnam a civilized and prosperous country.
Today, according to the development trend of the times, English gradually became the
common language in many fields in social life. English helps us to access more
2

effectively with the rich source of human knowledge to integrate with other countries
in the world. Therefore, learning English has become more important than ever. In
recent years, English has been taught in popular schools. And there are many small
and large research projects on English teaching and learning, aiming to find effective
teaching and learning methods. For effective teaching and learning in the primary
school walls, I am the person who directly teaches many questions about how to help
elementary school students access to a new language. Wanting to learn and
communicate well in English requires students to have a certain vocabulary, and
students need to master the sentence structure with grammatical functions, usage,
reading and meaning. To help them speak English smoothly, coherently and above all
to help them become more confident in communicating and absorbing the language. I
would like to give you some reference experiences on how to guide students to learn
the grammatical structure that I have accumulated in the process of learning and
teaching. That's why I chose the topic 'The steps of teaching model sentences in grade
4 at Thach Dong primary school’.
1.2 Purpose of the study.
- Learn about solutions for improving English teaching and learning for teachers and
students.
- Learn about the student's learning situation.
- Study the optimal methods for teachers to apply when students practice in the
classroom effectively.
- The steps for effective teaching are changed by changing some of the methods that
teach students to easily learn the lesson. At the same time instruct students to train
themselves to have skills, skills when learning English.
Therefore, the implementation of this method aims to promote students' activeness,
initiative and creativity, contributing to improving the quality of teaching English.
1.3. Research subjects.
- Students in grades 4A, 4B in Thach Dong Primary School.
1.4. Research methods.

- Application of practical teaching experience.
- Refer to the practice materials related to the subject
- Refer to the experience of colleagues, attendance, exchange ideas.
- Organize and conduct experiential teaching. Prepare teaching curriculum to test the
feasibility of the method.
- The teacher asks questions to check the content of the student's lesson.
2. CONTENT
2.1. Basis for argument.
At present, the teaching and learning of foreign languages in primary schools
has been markedly improved. Elementary school children, including schools in
remote areas, are taught foreign languages. Teachers are regularly trained to improve
their professional skills and innovate teaching methods to improve the quality of the
3


subject. In all schools, materials and teaching materials are increasingly being added
to make learning more effective and students are more interested in learning.
However, due to the student's unevenness. The foreign language environment
of the children rarely have the opportunity to talk with foreigners. The development of
communication skills in children is limited.
Moreover, the current situation of learning neglect, students learn coping, rote
learning without self-study, students are quite a lot. Most of the students do not pay
attention and invest in English, preparing the paper skilfully, coping while they study
very weak subject.
How does another condition this condition? How to attract students to focus on
learning is an issue that requires educators, dedicated teachers who work hard to come
up with plans, programs that improve the way they teach and learn. more, improve the
quality and effectiveness of education.
To teach an English language class requires teachers to be prepared and
invested both at home and in the classroom, even having to accumulate experience

over time can be effective and persuasive. , making them really excited and confident.
Therefore, with this topic, I would like to express my thoughts and my wishes with
the desire to contribute to the exchange of experiences and sharing of learning
together for the same progress.
2.2. Current status of teaching and learning English in Thach Dong Primary
School.
* Advantages:
- English is a new discipline applied to elementary students in recent years. So some
students feel excited or interested in this new subject, so in most classes most students
are very active.
- Having the interest of the school's board, together with the siblings in front of them,
makes the teaching of English better. The school has had almost adequate facilities,
materials and equipment to serve teaching and learning.
* Disadvantages:
According to the distribution of the current program, English elementary school
has 4 lessons per week, so it is really hard to teach the teacher and the students. But in
order for students to become more active, teachers must prepare their pictures and
tools to draw their attention to the topic or focus of the lesson. In addition, there are
many students here because of conditions and circumstances, parents do not
understand the importance of English so not interested, urge the children to study this
subject, many to sue there. complete study materials. In addition, due to the limited
development conditions, the conditions for elementary school children to be exposed
to public information and entertainment programs using English is still low. Their
ability to communicate is limited, especially in English.
- Beside some students studying seriously, there are many pupils who learn
only through loudspeaker, not in deep memory, do not practice reading and writing
frequently, do not have two-dimensional sense. When the teacher asks them not to.
4

Moreover, very few people in the family are learning, knowing English should check
and guide the children to learn at home also meet many difficulties.

course also increased significantly. The results achieved through the periodic
examination between the second school year 2017-2016 the quality of their children

3. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1. Conclusion
These experiences only help a few students in learning English well, but it is very
important to practice the sample, to communicate fluently and fluently.
But to make the topic really meaningful not only the investment in the lecture, the
teacher's promotion, but also the student's cooperation. Because of a small knowledge
that students do not care, not diligent, not studious, even if the organization is well
received, tested closely how then it also floated into oblivion. Besides the surrounding
environment is also very important, an English environment, using many English, the
real benefits from the subject is quite vague to a school district difficult.
During the study I learned some of the following:

14

- More attention to the motivation and attitudes of students; Help students to properly
assess the need for English for their future so that students can identify motives and
positive learning behaviors.
- Do not put pressure on weak students, lazy students. Instead encourage, encourage
students to self-learning.
- Design different types of activities according to the degree of difficulty to increase
gradually and suitable for each group of students.
- Evaluate students' true strengths so as to make appropriate requests; Too low
requirements for good students will make students feel bored and will not be willing
to strive further; Too high a requirement for a weak student will lose the student's
confidence, reducing the student's interest.
- Create the habit of thinking in English, limit the conversion of ideas from
Vietnamese into English.
- Collection of English teaching software, combining the skills of listening-speakingreading-writing in the class.
3.2. Petition
In order to meet the learning and learning needs of English subjects in general
and to strengthen and improve the English language knowledge of students, I would
like to recommend to the Board of Management to add more Kinds of books refer to
English in the library to help students have access to new knowledge, create interest,
passion for the children in learning this subject.
It is because the teacher's task does not stop at teaching but also to build trust
and foster the spirit of learning more students, then think of which method will also
succeed. with a generation of students based on the virtues of the Vietnamese people
rich in traditions of learning and humanity noble. Despite the effort, but the topic is
still many errors, I hope the enthusiastic contributions of colleagues to build the topic
better.
