Create and edit audio files by software camtasia studio 8 6 and from the internet

A. INTRODUCTION
1. Reasons for research
Primary level English program has been implemented in all regions across
the country. Innovation prominent feature of the content of this program is to
provide maximum opportunities for students to practise four skills of listening,
speaking, reading and writing on the topics and situations, communication
content related to environment living at home and abroad. The change in
facilitating the teaching and learning of English in secondary schools becomes
teaching living language instead of teaching words as many years ago. However,
in practical English skills forged for students, teachers confronted with many
difficulties, especially listening skill forged. Through my school in the rural
areas, when students started to learn foreign languages, most of them were very
interested in English, but eventually they fell tired of it. Most of them are very
bad at listening skill. It's difficult for them to understand the content of an essay
or dialogue they hear. After each listening lesson, the teacher meets difficulty
checking information that students had heard and checking old lesson often not
easy.
Nowadays, teachers of English find it difficult to create audio files to guide
students to practice listening as well as applying in listening tests. They often
find files on the internet but there are many contents that are not suitable for
students. They do not know how to edit the files. Or they can find some videos
or songs but they are not in MP3 format so how to turn them into MP3 files for
easy use with today's MP3 players. With my own experience over the years. I
would like to present in my experience with the topic "Create and edit audio
files by Software Camtasia Studio 8.6 and from the Internet”
2. Research purpose.
Learning English requires learners to practice the 4 skills: listeningspeaking-reading-writing. The ultimate goal of learning a language is to
communicate fluently with everyone. The purpose of this study is to provide
English language teachers with audio and video resources that are appropriate
for students in the teaching of listening skills. I hope my experience will help
students feel more excited when they learn listening skills as well as learn other

skills.
3. Subjects of research.
English MP3 file for primary school.
Software Camtasia Studio 8.6.
Some websites for listening skill.
4. Research methodology.
With this topic I have applied the following methodology:
+Self-studying through the internet
+Asking experts in the field of audio and video
+Discussing with experienced colleagues in professional meetings.

B. PROBLEM SOLVING
I. Theoretical basis.
Today science and technology develop very fast. Students have many
sources for learning English such as TV, Smartphone, Notebook, Youtube,
online study, website or English learning software.
If the teacher does not know how to source audio and video for teaching
English, the lesson will not attract students and students will feel bored.
Therefore, it is extremely important to collect and edit audio and video files that
are appropriate for the lessons.
II. Really state of affairs.
My school is situated in Dinh Hai commune, people live mainly on planting rice
because of the over population, their living standards are low and strenuous. The
majority of parents work far from their houses and their daughters, who live
with their grandparents, are lacking of their parents' attention. Therefore,
learning and communication in English, and the second language of children are
more difficult. Pronunciation of their native language also leads to more errors

in listening, teaching English and making English more difficult. Most of them
are very timid, shy, yet bold communication, language delay thinking leads to
low self-esteem, inferiority.
My school facilities are also very inadequate. CD,VCD, DVD, computer, and
Audiovisual equipments are not yet available. Therefore, I also have to try my
best to find audio and video sources for teaching students' listening skills.
I have been using Camtasia 8.6 for many years and have found a way to edit
audio and video files to teach listening skill. I would like to present my
experience here for the teachers of English to refer.

C. CONCLUSION AND PROPOSAL.
1. Conclusion.
When learning a foreign language, it is better to start learning as soon as
you can. By listening, you will get used to the sounds of the language.
Pronunciation is also easier for you. If you are a beginner in learning English,
look for tapes with recordings. Whenever you do not understand a word, open it
and look up the word in the dictionary. Listen to the same content over and over
again.
Listening to many times the same content is great for learning your language.
Pick a good tape and listen to it over and over again. Make sure you understand
every word in the video. During the listening process, try to memorize the verses
used, or even a paragraph. Then practice speaking according to memory, imitate
the pronunciation of the speaker. After a while, you will notice that the words or
phrases in the video have become your own. You can use them in your own
words. Your pronunciation and listening skills will definitely improve.
Listen regularly try to listen regularly, every day hear. The best option is to have
an MP3 player. With this handset, you can listen anywhere and listen at any
time. You should write the songs you like on a CD and keep it in your MP3
player whenever you go out. So you can listen all the time and everywhere.
An enthusiastic and dedicated teacher is always looking for ways to develop
listening skills for students. Therefore, it is very important to create audio files

14


suitable for students. I hope that with my own experiences I will partly help the
teachers to create their own audio files for teaching listening skills to students.
2. Proposal.
a. For teachers:
In addition to teaching in the classroom, teachers need to visit class, supervises
colleagues not only in schools but also take time to visit colleagues in school
groups. Regularly organize their teaching subjects in accordance with the actual
situation of the school and classroom. It has to be evaluated, contributed ideas
and give honest and accurate comment about advantages and disadvantages after
each lesson.
b. For school leaders:
School leaders should set up an English speaking club. Regularly organize
English exchange activities between schools. Learn English through theatrical
form. Invite foreigners to exchange English speaking practice. So students will
feel more excited and confident in speaking English. School leaders should
regularly supplement facilities for foreign language teachers. There should be a
private audiovisual room for teaching and learning English.
Above are some of my effective experience, I summed up in the teaching
process. I hope to receive the attention, the share and the sincere comments from
the colleagues.
Sincerely thank you!
