A. INTRODUCTION
I. THE REASONS FOR CHOOSING TOPIC.
No one can deny the importance of English in their lives, especially in a
society of integration. English is not only necessary in helping students improve
knowledge through reading documentary in English or exchanging
understandings but also helps them communicate with the others in the
international integration stage. The entire education, therefore, has the
breakthrough in innovation, more and more people focus on how to learn
English well. English pilot project in the period from 2015 to 2020 is under
experimental time at some schools in Thach Thanh district, which puts the
teachers under a lot of challenge to meet the increasingly advanced requirements

of particular subjects, of society in general.
Modern English values four skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Although they are independent skills, they support each other so that students
can improve comprehension thoroughly. In four skills, my students find writing
the most difficult and they consider writing a new skill. Like Vietnamese, when
students want to write a good essay or a paragraph, they need to have good
knowledge about grammar, vocabulary which is appropriate with each type of
writing. One of the most effective ways to get good results in their writing is that
they can use idioms. However, remembering an idiom is not easy and using it
correctly seems to be more difficult. In this situation, the teacher needs to take a
serious look at the teaching and learning of writing in general and using of
idioms when writing an essay in particular.
English idioms are as rich and diverse as Vietnamese idioms. In fact, an
idiom can convey various meanings and how to use it correctly is a matter you
should take into consideration. Therefore, using idioms reasonably will make
your writing effective. After two years of struggling, I've learned from
experience to form English essay article titled "Motivate 11th graders to use
idioms in writing effectively."
When carrying out this study, I myself wish my students-especially the
students of grade 11 to improve their writing using idioms. Perhaps my research
is certainly not perfect so I am looking forward to receiving comments from all
of you.
Thank you.
II. RESEARCH PURPOSES.
The purpose of this topic is to make my students aware of the importance of
idioms writing as well as in communication to create a habit of using English
idioms.

3

Through using idioms in writing students can expand vocabulary,express
ideas more abundantly and eventually get better results in writing.
III. RESEARCH SUBJECTS.
The research focuses on two contents:
- Creating the habits of using the idioms in writing for students of grade 11.
- Guiding students to use the idioms when writing.
IV. RESEARCH METHODS.
The method I have used:
- Research methodology built on theoretical basis.
- Scientific research method.
- Investigation method
- Experimental method.
- Comparative method.
- Intuitive Method.
- Methods of analysis summed up the experience.
B. CONTENT INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE
I. THEORETICAL BASIS OF THE PROBLEM.
Writing an essay or a paragraph plays an important role in everyday life, in
scientific research, as well as at schools.
English writing is an important skill for students to complete their synthesis
capabilities. In their writing students express their opinions, their views on a
particular issue in life. But how can the students write an essay or a paragragh
well?
Applying the language of the essay is an important factor. It is one of the
most important elements to decide the success of writing. When using
expressions in writing, however, the user must understand the implications of
the new idioms used because the expression in English are the sayings that are
not intended to common sense, the meaning of an idiom is not easily recognized.
What language is also a collection of idioms, phrases used to refer figurative

meaning instead of literally living meanings.When learning English,
understanding the common idioms will help students better their reading and
listening to what native people really wants to say.
An essay is usually divided into 3 parts: Introduction, body and conclusion.
In an essay students must have at least 5 passages, a section for the introduction,
a passage to the post and the body parts are all three segments. According to the
logical sequence, the introduction always indicate the topic that you want to
develop next, followed by the additional proof that the student is given at the

4


introduction and finally summed up his ideas mentioned in the end all. To write
a good essay or paragraph, the writer must know how to use words.
II. STATE OF THE MATTER RESEARCH.
Most of the students at high school find it hard to write an essay as well as a
paragragh because they are lacking in words and phrases to express their ideas
so using idioms in writing is one of the best solutions.
1. Subject.
English is a foreign language. Applying to write essays is so often difficult
for students to understand and apply well. Writing abilities in particular, writing
essay needs time and asks the students to master the grammatical structures,
using language flexibly.
Writing essays, as well as writing a Vietnamese essay requires students to
make great efforts to get good results.
2. To the teachers.
In recent years, English teachers who have been invested more in knowledge
and teaching assistant equipment. However, to meet the standard in accordance
with the requirements of the subjects in English is still limited, writing is a
difficult skill which asks teachers to invest more in lessons. Besides, guiding

students uses the structural grammar, teachers have to motivate them to apply
flexible language structures including idioms in writing.
The use of proverbs in English during the teacher's lectures is very limited,
because teachers have not really seen the role of expression in lessons. Add to
that the proverbs are fixed meaning- phrase should require users to be very
careful language appropriate to the context, situation.
3. To the students.
Until now students have learnt English only in the passive form (Teachers
say they understand such games), they do not have the concept of investment for
subject because they consider that English is a foreign language. So the
preparation of new and old studying at home is also deal, sketchy, especially in
the regular classes.
Students are not really interested in learning English now, particularly
writing skills because of limited vocabulary, structures did not remember,
practice led to face many difficulties.
The 11th grade students in the second year have been accessed to English
courses in secondary school. Students may not be led to the basics. Therefore the
use of proverbs in English for students is difficult.

Here are some essays of students before being taught to use the idioms
when writing.

your topic.

III. IMPLEMENTING MEASURES.
1. Create students the habit of using the idiom in English subject.
1.1. Create routines for students to use the idiom through the activities of
teachers.
In a forty-five- minute lesson, we have got many formal activities, and other
activities which depend on the content of the lesson. Normally, we have three
main types of post are: The introduction - lesson corpus, skill lessons, practice
grammar lessons. However, during a lecture, teachers often diverge the lesson
five main sections are: Warm up, presentation, practice, production, and
homework. Flexible use of proverbs in parts of the lesson will help the class
atmosphere less tense, highly effective.
Besides the main activity in the part of the lesson, many pedagogical
situations can occur during the lecture such as: Students are sometimes lack of
focus, or seem to get tired in class.. Use a proverb in time is also a solution to

attract the attention and create interest for students in learning.
In another activities, such as extracurricular activities, daily
communication..The teachers should use the idioms at the same time with
encouraging them to use. This approach also contributes to create idiomatic
usage habit for students.
Here are some specific solutions:
1.1.1. Use idioms in lecture activities.
I. Warm up:
Entering the class the teacher can:
+ Joking a few sentences to break the ice as:
"Out of sight, out of mind "or "No see, no feeling" or "Cleanliness is next
to godliness"……………[1]
+ Asking a few questions (open questions):
How are you today? Is it hot? Have you ever been to Hanoi? .......
Today, I’m under the weather [2]
Or: What’s the weather like today?- It’s raining cats and dogs.[2]
Based on the responses of students, the teacher might say:
Today, I'm in good spirits or in a bad mood because you are good for you.[1]
+ Or the teacher can check the old posts in the warm up, after calling one or
two students to examine ex- post. Teachers can encourage students to remain
calm to answer questions such as:
"Take it easy" or "Good for you" or "Never say die” or "Burning the
candle at both ends" ......[1]
II. Presentation:
1. Pre - vocabulary:
The teacher introduces vocabulary in different procedures:
7


+ Suggestions from past pictures or real objects. In this case, the teacher can

use the proverb "Seeing is believing"[1]
+ Explaining new words and asks students to guess the word. If students
respond well, teachers can compliment them with a proverb "Good for you".
2. Pre - model: (if applicable)
The teacher gives some examples then asks students to make sentences then
presents the model sentences. The teacher introduces grammatical sentences
then writes on the board and asks students to write down and memorize. In this
case, the teacher can use the following proverb to remind them all carefully
documented "Better safe than sorry”....[1]
3. Set the scene: Today we are going to learn about ...... The teacher might
say:
It’s "a piece of cake" or "Burning the candle at both ends” ......[1]
III. Practice:
Teachers have students practice. During the practice, the teachers encourage
students, sometimes urge them through the following phrases:
"Take it easy" or "Good for you" or "Never say die” or “Burning the
candle at both ends "or "Better late than never" or "Practice makes perfect"
"Don’t sweat it".............
IV. Production:
- The teacher asks students to summarize their knowledge which they have
learned.
- The teacher gives comments on the lesson by using a proverb.
"Travelling forms a young man" or "Knowledge is power”................[1]
V. Homework:
- The teacher asks students to:
+ Learn and memory .
+ Do the exercises in workbook.
+ Prepare the next part.
- Teachers can use some of the following proverbs to remind children to
study at home:

"Make hay while the sun shines" or "Theory accompanies with practice"
or "Never say die" or "Time is money" or "Time and tide wait for no man" …
[1]
Example:
Unit 8: Celebrations
Lesson 1:Reading
I. Warm up: Brainstormings
- Ask students to add some more. Christmas

V. Homework

Ask students to
+ Learn by heart the vocabulary.
+ Talk about Tet holiday in Viet Nam.
+ Prepare the next lesson.
And remember "Make hay while the sun shines"
1.1.2 .Use idioms in pedagogical situations.
There are many pedagogical situations can occur during the lectures as:
+ Students lack of concentration, or expression fatigue. Teachers can remind
students of the proverb:
9


"Bite Your tongue" or "Silence is gold" you should be all ears ...[1]
+ Students do not write articles or do not do homework, the teacher might
say:
"No pains, no gains " or "Practice makes perfect” ......
+ Students love to express and get attention.. In this situation the teacher can
say:
You are in cloud nine or Please Give him/and her a hand .....[1]
1.1.3. Use idioms in daily communication.
Besides the activities in the lesson. In other activities, such as: Daily
activities, teachers can still use idioms to communicate with students. Create the
habit for students to learn the language.
+ Meet and greet each other.
Long time no see how are you? Are you so far so good?
No, I'm under the weather
+ Meet and talk compliment outfits, personality..:
Good morning, Oh! You look so nice to day. Look at your wearing, I know
why you like green. That why it is said that "You are what you wear".
+ Meet a student who makes a mistake like: (late for school ....) .

My dear, "Time is money”. Don't do that again...
+ Meet a student who is lazy and do not concentrate on the lesson: Time and
tide wait for no man.
1.1.4. Use idioms from extracurricular activities.
It is necessary that a teacher creates the interest in learning English for
students so that they are keen on this subject. One of the best way to make them
interested in the subject is that they can take part in extracurricular activities. At
my school, we sometimes organize extracurricular periods or programs in which
we focus on providing students with idioms, how to use them in special contexts
through English songs, articles in English.
For example, in one class meeting, my students had a good time to enjoy the
song “Seasons in the sun”.
Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the Black Sheep of the Family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along” [3]
In this song, an idiom is used namely “A black sheep”. When teaching my
students the song, I do the following:
+ Explain the idiom “A black sheep” (of the family) - someone who is
thought to be bad person by the rest (of the family).
+ Give them example “He is a black sheep of his family. His family suffers
from his over expenditure on playing games”.

10


+ Give some situation when the idiom is used. "You can use this idiom when
writing about the disadvantages of computer games to students”.
Or in the song “Proud of you” we can see the idiom once upon a time in the

following .
“Star in the sky
Wishing once upon the time-Give me love, Make me smile
Till the end of life-Hold my up hold me tight
Lift me up to touch the sky-Teaching me to love with heart
Helping me open my mind” [3]
“Once upon a time” used at the beginning of:
- Children’s stories to mean "A long time ago": Once upon a time there was
an ugly girl.
- Used when referring to something that happened in the past, especially
when showing that you feel sorry that it no longer happens: Once upon a time
people knew the difference between right and wrong, but nowadays nobody
seems to care.
In the topic: "Talk about your memorable day" Students can use this idiom in
the conclusion part: That day passed once upon a time however it is still deep
in my heart.
Students can easily remember 19 idioms through the song "That Bat
Ngo"[3]

1.2. Guide students to accumulate idiomatic words and structural capital
increase.
1.2.1. Recording all the proverbs that teachers have presented.
The first phase, when using idioms, teachers must write on the board to all
that Vietnamese translation then asks the students to copy into their notebooks. It
will gradually form the habit of using idioms for students.
11


1.2.2. Learning how to remember the proverb.
When students have had a number of proverbs, teachers should guide

students memorize so effectively:
+ Remember according to groups (key word) as: The only parts group, only
color groups, time-only group ... The teacher asks students to take notes in a
notebook divided by such systems.
Ex: Weather idiom group
On cloud nine
Under the weather
Only parts group:
All ears
A big mouth
The apple of one’s eye
..................................................
+ Find and Compare the English idioms and Vietnamese similar meaning, it
is also remembering idioms efficiency and improve translation.
Ex: I have the English idioms are:
"New one in, old one out" Vietnamese as "Có mới nới cũ"
Or "Better late than never" translated "Muộn còn hơn không"
Or "Silence is gold" means "Im lặng là vàng" etc ..
1.2.3. Encourage students to use regular expressions to create a habit.
Idioms in English are often difficult to remember so teachers need to
encourage students to:
+ Give exercises, questions which may require the use of idioms.
+ Give the high scores if students use the idiom in context.
+ Compliment or praise if the student is referred to a proverb in the session.
2. Guide students to use the idiom when writing essays.
Using idioms in essay writing is academic. To do this, teachers guide
students to use flexibly in all three parts of the essay. The teacher should give
attention to students "The idiom often does not act as a topic sentence that is
only a supplementary sentence." The expression is used in the parts of the essay
as follows:

2.1. Intro (Introduction).
- The idiom in the introduction may serve as Threads.
Examples: "A friend in need is a friend indeed " Do you agree or disagree?
or "You are what you wear" Do you agree or not?. With this format students can
open the following article.
There is an undeniable fact that friendship plays an important role in one’s
life. However, it is necessary to distinguish between the bad and good friends to
get prevented from being cheated and get benefited all through the life
respectively as the saying goes " A friend in need is a friend indeed”
- The idiom could be the supplement for threads.
12


Example:
The topic is "Secondary Students should wear school uniform” students
can recommend the following:
In modern society, people are easy to choose their own clothes which are not
only nice but also convenient. However "You are what you wear", therefore, It
is necessary for secondary school students to wear uniforms when they are at
school.
2.2. Body.
The idiom in the body usually does not act as a topic sentence that is only a
supplementary sentence.
Example: Unit4: Writing-Write a passage about benefits of the doing
volunteer work. You can follow the following cues.
- Doing volunteer work means helping people
Useful idioms: give sb a hand, many a little makes a mickle…)
-Doing volunteer work means helping yourselves. In other words, you can
benefit a lot through doing volunteer work.( connects you to others; is good for
your mind and body; can advance your career….)

Useful idioms: travelling forms a young man, be on cloud nine….
2.3. Conclusion.
Restated introduction by extension all other.
+ If the proverb is the sentence threads in the introduction may be written as
follows:
Example: "Good health is more important than money" Do you agree or
disagree?
For all reasons, I'm convinced that "Good health is more important than
money". We are healthy, we have everything.
+ If the proverb is not the problem, then we can all write as follows:
Example: Unit 5: Writing
In conclusion, we cannot deny the benefits of the Internet in our life. The
internet makes our world a small village. As the proverb "It was brilliant".

Here are some essays of students have used the idioms when writing.

Looking at the statistics shows that students know how to apply the proverbs
English in school has increased markedly. Students know how to apply good

idiomatic English in writing. The most important thing is that they are more
interested in the writing lesson. In the examination for gifted students organized
by Thanh Hoa Department of education and training on the 9th of March in 2018,
my students got 3 awards: Bui Huyen Trang was ranked third; Nguyen Thi Mai
got incentive award and Dinh Hoang Nam got incentive award,too. In the
comparison with many other schools in Thanh Hoa province, Those
achievements are so modest. However, it is a great effort of a mountainous
school as Thach Thanh 3 high school.
C. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
I. CONCLUSION.
-Writing skill is a difficult but very important one which helps students
exercise critical thinking, and the ability to synthesize about a certain matter in
life.
- To write an essay or a paragragh well and attractively, the writer must have
basic rules, must know how to apply grammatical structures, and uses diverse
linguistic knowledge.

18


- Use idioms in writing is a intensively academic technic, however, the user
must understand the implications of the idiom because the idioms in English are
not easy to understand, their meaning is very different from literary or meaning
of each word in the idiom.
- What language is also a set of idioms, phrases used to refer figuratively
instead of literally live, learning English while understanding the common idiom
will help students read and hear better what native really wants to say.
- After a period of application of the teaching practices in grade 11 in Thach
Thanh 3 high school both formal class time each afternoon and tutoring time,
My students have made much progress in writing, they can use idioms in writing

smoothly and naturally.
II. REQUEST
To help students interested in writing essays, teachers must completely guide
these basic rules while encouraging students to use flexible language structure,
use the idiom when writing essays will make pithy prose and rich emotions
reach a high level of language use.
To experience initiatives can be effectively applied, I respect:
+ Education Department pays more attention to teachers by organizing
English classes more thematic advanced to discuss teaching skills, writing skills
in particular, to the teachers as I was ironing further arguments about writing ...
+ Teachers are more enthusiastic in every lesson they give to students and
they can find the best solution to encourage the students to get better results.
The theme is the experience of myself over the years teaching at high
school. I am looking forward to the comments from you so that I can fulfill my
subject.
Thach Thanh, May 9th , 2018
I swear this is my own
experience initiative
