1. INTRODUCTION.
1.1. Reason to choose the topic.
Foreign language is a subject of cultural basic foreign languages there are
traits common disciplines basic cultural such as: The same purpose is to
contribute to the formation of moral qualities the new man of socialist students ,
together, contribute to raising the general level of education for students. Apart
from his two goals, the foreign language department also has an additional
purpose is to equip students with a new communication tool. In a purposeequipped foreign language communication tool is the most predominant, cover
most. Because the nature of foreign language is communication tool.
Two other purposes throughout the teaching process must grip the practical
purposes of communication, via communication tools that implement
educational purposes and enhance the student culture.
Besides the foregoing, if the teaching of foreign languages in place and
carried out as required, it works a lot in the practice of the virtues of diligence,
overcoming difficulties, engrossed understanding v, v. . for students.
For a long time in the world, the foreign language subjects included in the

program are required of schools from grades 1 This demonstrates that the sector
of general education in the country was aware of the position and the important
role of foreign language departments of education in the younger generation.
The objective of the formation of English and develop in students the basic
knowledge and skills in English and intellectual qualities needed to further
education or enter working life. Thus Textbooks of elementary English are
compiled in the same building program perspective, it is the view topics
(Thematic Approach) and enhance the active learning method of student
initiative.
All four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing are interesting and
are coordinated in exercises and activities in class and language corpus. To
perform proficient skills, you learn to first get the vocabulary and structures.
Vocabulary teaching and learning are not new, but the vocabulary has a very
important position for the formation and development of communication skills
of primary school children, which is the initial knowledge of the language. Word
is like the bricks, and language is a building. Lack of small bricks that the
builder has cleverest floating nor build a building. Determine the importance of
the problem so again I boldly put teaching vocabulary to students in the
classroom is one of the issues discussed with colleagues. With the research on
this, I wish would help teachers and students overcome the difficulties to
conduct teach vocabulary in English have better efficiency, active students,
active in the acquisition, acquire knowledge of the lesson. That is why I chose
this topic.

1.2. Research purposes.
With the successful research topics and initiatives that will help teachers
experience have the following experience:

- Steps of an effective lesson
- Guide students to practice, practice to have a certain vocabulary to
communicate basically.
1.3. Research subject.
The research project for teaching and learning of English words of teachers
and students in primary school, Song objects case study that I have bravely

2 . CONTENT
2.1. Theoretical background:
The purpose of the teaching of foreign languages is not providing students
with the knowledge of the language, but the ultimate goal of teaching foreign
languages in general, English in particular is teaching students the ability to
communicate in English. Communication ability of students is expressed
through skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. English listening and
speaking skills of students are formed through a learning process in
environmental practice English with capital from certain. In addition to learning
in school, students have to learn to train through the forms and different
methods.
2 .2. Reality problem:

Despite the objective conditions and subjective image Standing directly in
the process of teaching, but we already know remedy beyond the immediate
difficulties, gradually improve the quality of teaching hours English subject who
meet program goals, Textbooks Featuring consciousness research has
characterized the situation of learning the discipline of students just proceed,
learn from experience. Right from the start the school year maximum orient
yourself a plan and specific methods to actively investigate the situation of
2


student learning by their respective class. The first time, I realized that most of
them are not sure grasp of vocabulary, many are still afraid to memorize words.
Dien Bien 1 Elementary School is one of the fields instead of the first
experiment, it still faces many difficulties, including issues of documentation
and teaching materials, so in the process of teaching I still use some of the
images of textbooks Grade 5 years to enrich teaching and learning materials
2.3. Solution:
In the process of teaching, I myself have characterized the situation of
learning discipline of students is that just to learn from experience conducted.
Right from the start the school year I've oriented yoursel a plan and specific
methods to actively investigate the situation of students’ learning. I can list the
following basic methods:
Method 1: Write new words on the board and translated into Vietnamese. If
necessary the teacher can explain the meaning, usage of it in Vietnamese. Then
the teacher asks the class repeat new words several times. This method is
considered to be less time consuming and easy, but not really interesting.
Method 2: Write the words down on the board, give a few examples to
clarify the meaning and usage of it in context. Then the teacher asks students to
read new words in unison. With the aim to test whether students understand the
meaning of new words or not, the teacher might ask students translated in to

Vietnamese. This method is considered to be less time consuming and easy, but
also not really interesting. Both methods I tell them to study at home and then at
the next lesson I checked by asking them to write words in English and
Vietnamese, I discovered that only a few days later students had forgotten.
Through investigation I realized that most of them are not sure grasp of
vocabulary, communication in English is limited. The survey results are as
follows.

* Conducting measures (Testing process)
I determine that the word is a unit of speech. If students grasp the words of
meaning, usage and morphology of words, they will easily express their
thoughts or high they are able to speak fluent English. To help students learning
fascinating and vivid, I also use pictures, or drawings, or visual aids to explain
the meaning of the word. For some words which can not combined the way over,

3


I instructed them to find antonyms method or put into question for them to guess
the meaning of words.
Therefore, even within each section of the lessons, students will have a
richer vocabulary, which will help them understand what the content is, so that
students learn new lessons faster.
Example 1: Learn from the headings.

1. Look, Listen and repeat: When you look in the eye, ear and back arrow
formation, students understood the meaning of words by Vietnamese "Look,
listen and repeat".
Example 2: Learning from past games. When learning Unit 11 - What 's the
matter with you? (Charades) besides teaching, I also use sample questions to
ask to use gestures to express diseases that students learn through play
"Charades" for the students to remember the words and phrases better.

For example: - Student A: wrinkled face, hands holding belly - stomachache.
- Students B; arms around the head, sad face - headache.
Some students miss even one new word based game.
Example 3: Learning from past images.
Prior to the new post Unit 15: What would you like to be in the future? page
30, I made the following image to introduce into the discussion. Through this
image the students can remember right sense of the word: an architect, a doctor,
a writer, a pilot.

Example 4: Learn from panel visual aids.
- Learn vocabulary only on school supplies for students.

2.4. Effectiveness of the initiative.
The initiative to apply this experience I myself have achieved some very
positive results. First of all these experiences are consistent with programs and
new textbooks. Students are interested in learning more, proactivelly creative to
expand understanding and also very flexible in the implementation of tasks to
perceive knowledge and skills development. Lively academic atmosphere is
soothing. Students have the opportunity to assert themselves, no longer be
confused, worried when entering school. This is the reason for getting the
relatively positive results of the first survey last semester, namely over 90% of
third graders with good spelling and reading fluency, as following.

Through practice, I learned that methods of teaching vocabulary to students
is not simply giving them a new word and its meaning, but also having tips to
help students use the new word in real Executive communicating through three
steps as follows:
- Helping students understand new words.
- Helping students to use new words.
- Helping students to memorize new words.
In improving teaching methods today, the teacher must promote the central
role, active learning of students, giving students interest in learning so that they
have the knowledge to make sure their high quality. Above is the actual work
that I've done in the teaching process and the recommendation for brief teaching
from the most effective for primary school students. I am eager to get
colleagues’ suggestions for teaching English now to have quality, and be

efficient and practical.
3. Conclusion and recommendations:
3.1. Conclusion.
With a short time as well as limited teaching experience, I have a desire to
present here a small aspect in the exchange of "Teaching methods of Primary
English vocabulary". It is sure that there are many defects, I look forward to the
sincere advice of colleagues who have experience and comments for my readers
to draw experiences and help teaching better.
Towards myself, I promise to continue to inherit and promote the results
achieved by the implementation of the subject, while constantly learning lessons
learned and overcome the difficulties in teaching to meet innovation program
requirements, methods of teaching English of Ministry of Education and
training.
3.2. Recommendations.
From a theoretical basis, practice, teaching purposes as well as the success
and constraints in the implementation of the subject, to contribute to the
7


teaching of English in general, teach particular qualified volume increasingly
improve myself with the recommendations practical follows:
* Basically:
- Being environmentally language so skills must be practiced according to the
characteristics of teaching methods, so need with discipline to avoid making
noise for the next class, as well as not affected by noise from outside. (Can be
combined with room for other disciplines)
- Power supply system needs to be repaired to ensure the usefulness and safety
of use.
* To the leaders:
Should create conditions for teachers to have the opportunity to exchange

and learn from experience through seminars.
Provide additional materials and teaching equipment for teachers and
students to have access to advanced equipment and tools that teachers cannot
afford to create.
