Some useful methods of teaching and testing vocabulary english courses in ngoc trao primary school

A. INTRODUCTION
I. The reasons why to choose the topics
English, which is used in various fields, is a language of great importance
and popularity all over the world. With the orientation of global integration,
Vietnam has developed its potentials of all areas. Therefore, communication has
become an effective tool with a prerequisite strength. In addition to the mother
tongue, English has been considered by Vietnamese as the second
communication language and an official subject in schools, even Primary
schools. The introduction of English in schools is necessary and proper, creating
conditions for student to learn and research at a higher level later. It contributes
to the education of younger generation to become comprehensive human of both
qualified quality knowledge. English learners have the opportunity to learn and
access to various attractive and long-standing cultures of countries over the
world. Nowadays, once English has confirmed its role and importance,
improving the quality of teaching and learning is the most significant issue.
“How to help students gain all the knowledge and utilize skillfully?”As we may
know, English is simply one of school subjects.
Whether at school, grade school, the teaching and learning of English,
vocabulary is one of three components of the knowledge of the language system
and serves as a vehicle, conditions of formation and development of skills. The
vocabulary communication skills can be considered as the most important part
because it is the means used to express ideas and there is also a bridge between
the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. In any language, the role of
vocabulary is also very important. Can find a language is a set of vocabulary. Can
not understand the language without understanding the vocabulary, or through the
lexical units. But that does not mean that only understand the individual lexical
units, independent of each other that can only be mastered through language
dialectical relationship between the lexical units. So learning the vocabulary and
practice using vocabulary skills is the leading factor in the transmission of
language and acquire a general and English in particular. Since vocabulary is a
language units it is expressed in two forms: verbal and written. Want to use the

language, that is to master the form of expression of verbal and written.
To do that, teachers are forced to create diversity in the activities during
the school day. That is why teachers need to select and coordinate the teaching
methods and techniques from a flexible and flexible way to maintain the ability
to focus on less capital in primary pupils. How can create an atmosphere for
children learning fun and effective relaxation which is what I wonder, concern.
How to get rich vocabulary tactic effectively for elementary school students.
Above are the reasons why this topic is selected. “Some useful methods of

B. CONTENT EXPERIENCE INITIATIVE
I. Justification of experience initiatives
Like as other languages in the world, want to communicate with it,
requires us to have a vocabulary. Because vocabulary is an indispensable
component of the language, which is used for communication activities. In
English we can not train and develop the four skills of listening, speaking,
reading and writing of students that are not based on the foundation of
vocabulary. Indeed without the necessary capital, they will not hear of it and
consequently is unable to speak, read and write well not be undone, whether you
have mastered the form.
Recognizing the importance of this, today all the methods applied in
lectures teach them focus on teaching vocabulary. And start learning the English
language is always associated with learning vocabulary. On the other hand, as
we already know, learning and proficient use of the target language vocabulary
plays an important role in the process of teaching and learning any foreign
language. Vocabulary knowledge is a tool to help students with the ability to set
and communicate successfully.
Currently in primary school English teaching and learning going on, along
with innovation education methods, in order to match the perceptions of
students, help students get access to the content. English vocabulary in the
curriculum is also used in line with the overall development of the social and
psychological characteristics of students.This requires each teacher to use,
versatile, flexible methods and techniques of teaching to meet the needs and
different learning conditions in the locality. Moreover, the supply of funds from
subjects, themes. How to give students a rich vocabulary and thereby help them
to shape and develop the capacity to use English as a communication tool. That
is a big question to be answered in order to improve the quality of learning of

students Elementary vocabulary.
II. Research Situation
1. The real state
In the language schemes of the Ministry of Education 2008-2020, specific
objectives of the program is English primary school after finishing grade,
students can:
- Students must achieve level A1
- There is a vocabulary of 500-700 words including language oral and pen.
- Students can apply learned vocabulary in simple communication
situations through the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing mainly
on writing and speaking, listening and speaking.
- There is minimal knowledge of the English language, and through
English with initial insights about the country, culture and people of the Englishspeaking countries.
- Have a positive attitude towards learning English.
- Formation of a way how to learn English effectively, provide the basis
for learning other languages in the future.
To achieve this goal is not simple truth by many reasons:
3


In our country today, the teaching and learning of English in schools
takes place in the communication environment of teachers and students, there
are many limitations: Teachers read and list the words in the teachers had never
appeared in the teaching process called new words, then scored all teachers both
new words up on the board, explaining that by Vietnamese and for them to read
it several times. Getting the children memorize new words to check in later
lessons. Thus making them boring and pressure.
In addition, there are other factors which affect the process of enriching
vocabulary Elementary students as:
- The feeling uncomfortable, tense or distracted, confused because the abstract

concept difficult to understand the rules of grammar and how to apply them.
- The operation requires us to focus attention in a long time.
- Boredom.
- The teachers too much to fix.
More:
- Lack of funds to organize the actual exchange activities for students to
practice their vocabulary.
- Because most students are shy, lack confidence, afraid to pronounce,
practice communication. Additionally, syllable structure of language is quite
different, so the ability to remember words, sentence structure... Their limited.
- Elementary students are very active, so easy to lose focus on teaching
new languages to the children faced many difficulties.
- Lack of much needed resources to help them understand the culture of
English-speaking countries.
- Lack of real environment so students can participate in activities
meaningful communication in English.
- Lack of funding for additional school supplies.
- Many parents especially parents in rural areas do not see the importance
of language learning should not care about this subject.
Specific:
From the 2003-2004 school year elementary school Ngoc Trao officially
put into teaching English courses in schools. But English subjects than other
subjects such as Mathematics, Vietnamese... not yet parents and students realize
the importance; Students are still neglected, ignored, parents were not interested.
They only emotional excitement, eager to receive the beginner days. The more
you learn, the harder, less ability to remember vocabulary, leading to poor child's
vocabulary gradually while complex grammar gradually, leading to student ratio
low favorite subjects.
On the other hand, the amount of time devoted to this subject is too small,
only 2 more per week, in which teachers have to teach all of the cages as

introducing new language (new words, new phrases), the practical speaking,
listening... just one more so it is difficult for teachers to teach vocabulary
carefully.

About programs and textbooks:
Although textbooks have very modern, beautiful form, presenting clear,
eye-catching images. Lessons thematic structure, close to the daily life for the
purpose of monitoring the needs of their excitement. But the program taught in a
school are using multiple types of books, a variety of programs (old, new).
Therefore, the study of teachers' difficulties, not depth.
In terms of content, in a lesson is divided into several lessons, combining
the teaching of vocabulary, grammar and practice both. The distribution of
knowledge and the transfer to the students, teachers face many difficulties
2. The result, the efficiency of the states
From this situation leads to although primary school teachers and students
of Ngoc Trao had a lot of quality attempt but reached no higher discipline.
Speaking and writing English is low, because the ability to remember and use
vocabulary modest student, students use the word embarrassed when asking,
written words are inaccurate, misspelled much...
Table initial states investigation 2016-2017 school year at the elementary
school Ngoc Trao as follows:

Therefore, although very difficult, but we must recognize that learning
English at the moment is the beginning of building the basic foundation of
knowledge for students, are necessary conditions for them to carry step up to the
higher levels of education. Therefore, teaching and learning English in primary
school is a very interesting problem. To solve that problem, teachers should
create rich form of teaching, diversity. In which the application of good
techniques and methods taught is one of the forms of attracting more students to
participate in learning and provides highly effective in increasing the capital
from them. Teachers must have the appropriate teaching methods for each
lesson. Now with the modern equipment we can apply creativity to make many
interesting ways to teach vocabulary, effective and attractive, creating a diverse
playground colorful in English.With the size of the subject I have no ambition

and not enough to make all the way to teach vocabulary in English, but only
wish to vocabulary teaching methods will help students learn effectively and do
not feel pressure when learning vocabulary. How to introduce and test the
vocabulary that they feel excited but still effective.
Through the process of my teaching provide some methods of teaching,
test and learn vocabulary in English that I find effective and inspire students,
“Some useful methods of teaching and testing vocabulary English courses in
Primary”.

III. Solutions and implementation
1. The solution
1.1. Defining the role of the teacher
The teaching must be seen as an art so need to exploit and explore
innovative ways to create positive effect of high art, with perfect technique
skills. To transmit knowledge but receptive gentle but effective and highly
applicable.
To make students feel comfortable, gentle, teachers try to shorten the
distance between teachers and students, psychological inferiority delete "scared
her" school with her and play games together as friends. No stuffing or turn
students into passive but instead promote positive in each individual. For the
education sector it must create a favorable environment as well as providing
useful information resources, the curriculum has been carefully chosen and
adapted to the age and training opportunities suitable.
Teachers need to identify:
1. How children learn vocabulary
2. Principle teaches English for Children
3. The method of teaching vocabulary
4. How to choose from to teach

5. Steps taught from
6. Technical clarify meanings of words
7. Measures to avoid forgotten.
Teachers today have to know how to use technical means to improve
teaching methods.
Teachers are just followers, listening and noting the advantages and
disadvantages of the students, said school issues naturally, avoiding student
interrupted unless absolutely necessary.
1.2. Defining the role of the students
To identify the role of students as the center. Must exploit psychological
elementary age students to help them acquire knowledge in a gentle and
practiced the skills the most, that's why ho? C students need to master
vocabulary as well as samples sentence needed to serve during practice
communication.
Encourage students to boldly speak English in class. Not afraid to make
mistakes when it comes, may like the new you learn the lessons for themselves
which will be more confident in communicating and can remember the words
and longer sentences.
To have effective teaching hours, teachers not only need to understand the
appropriate time or obstacles that young, "boring", but also to grasp the learning
method approach a language young. Below is the summary of how children
learn language in the process of teaching that I have concluded is:
+ There are many opportunities to meet with the foreign language.
+ Contact the words, sample sentences together and put them in the clear
context, closely related to each other.
+ Use all the senses of themselves, observe and imitate, follow and listen.
6


+ Explore, experiment, make mistakes and check their own understanding.

+ Repeated and feel confident when we establish the habit of using their
newly acquired knowledge.
+ Feeling encouraged, especially when friends are school children with
the same language.
1.3. Define teaching principles
In English we can not train and develop the four skills of listening,
speaking, reading and writing of students that are not based on the foundation of
vocabulary. Indeed without the necessary capital, they will not hear of it and
consequently is unable to speak, read and write well not be undone, whether you
have mastered the form.
For children focus on the lesson, teachers should follow the principles of
teaching for children:
- Play more than teaching, this is the method of "Teaching without
teaching", teachers create diverse playground, colorful in English for students,
guide students to master playground and gradually added to the active other.
- Activities, images than theory. Pictures, games, music, painting, theater...
in general activities to help students participate in English environment
naturally, not forced.
- Learning more specific curriculum. The follow a certain curriculum will
limit innovative capacity of both the teacher and students. Moreover, in order to
diversify the activities in the classroom, learning enhancement tools is essential.
- Listen - said more than read - write.
- Mimicking than grammar. Mimic is indispensable for children, especially
in learning foreign languages. Mimic helps the learning process go faster, while
including the application of vocabulary to basic sentence patterns.
- More fun for points. Classroom atmosphere lively, exciting, encouraging
students to have better motor learning is the score.
2. The method of teaching vocabulary
As we all know, history teaching and learning English vocabulary has
gone through many different methods such as: Language phapdich methods,

methods of listening to Pop, methods Listening - Speaking, communication
methods, etc. Each method has its own advantages and shortcomings such as:
2.1. The Method of Grammar – Translation
Method of Grammar - Translation has been widely used in our country for
a long time and it has an undeniable advantage. That is:
- Students are trained very carefully about grammar and vocabulary
acquisition is quite large.
- Students grasp relatively more basic sentence structure, memorizing the
texts or paragraphs or form.
- Students can read the text quickly.
2.2. The Method of Listening – Speaking
Methods Listening - Speaking with the advantages of:
- There are effective for beginners, especially primary school students.
Learners feel excited and confident to hear and imitate the teacher training, for
7


example: Students work under the orders of a teacher or sing simple songs in
English.
- Students very boring with this method without the adjustments necessary
teaching methods.
- Students apply what has been perceived in the classroom into practice is
a difficult language to communicate. Students can not use the language forms
are practiced in class in a natural way because although students have ability to
understand, remember and imitate the spot in the classroom, but they are also
very quick to forget and feel embarrassed when experiencing similar situations
in real communication. This suggests that although students can recall from a
perfectly finished they do not understand the meaning of words and the inability
to use the word in other contexts with what has been learned.
2.3. The Communication method

The teaching and learning vocabulary communication method is subject
to the following principles:
- Teaching and learning through practice communication skills
- Learning from the past through the communication skills help students
understand the meaning of easier because the communication skills of
communication always context specific and vivid. On the other hand through the
learning of communication skills stimulate demand for new words as a tool to
develop the skills.
- Teaching and learning from the use of high frequency
Choosing words with high frequency of use will help the school to teach
from achieving greater efficiency because those words are used frequently
learners in many different social situations.
- Teaching and Learning from a master
- Teaching and learning through a variety of different tips
As noted above, teachers need to use different tactics to introduce new
words or combination of procedures to introduce a new word. Doing this helps
to effectively teach vocabulary and help students remember longer word. One
thing to note is that the new translation into their native language as a teaching
tips from the results, but teachers should restrict the use of this procedure
because of the heavy reliance on the service will reduce your ability to
communicate student.
- Teaching and learning through practical training
Teachers need to organize practical activities and refresher consolidation
words through listening, speaking, reading and writing to increase fluency when
using the word. These activities will help students focus on the identification and
use vocabulary proficiency in each context.
- Pay attention to the role of students in the teaching and learning vocabulary
Teachers should encourage students to participate actively in the learning
process through a long and continuous. Although teachers can give students
information about vocabulary and support students in the learning process.

- Teaching and learning through the use of dictionary
8


Teachers should guide and encourage students to use dictionaries Primary
competitive, help them become familiar with their use.
3. How to choose words to teach
English has hundreds of thousands of words, so teach new words is a task
not easy for foreign language teachers. But keep in mind that the average person
only uses natively spoken about five thousand words in everyday
communication. Moreover, students do not need all these exact words to learn
because sometimes you just need to recognize and understand the message that
those words convey. Therefore, the choice of words to teach based on frequency
of use and the use of the word according to the needs of the students is very
important.
Teaching vocabulary is introduced specific issues to consider for the
purposes of the subject that I chose. Typically a lesson in always new words
appear, not from any new finish should also put in to teach. To choose from to
teach, teachers should consider these issues:
- Active vocabulary.
- Passive vocabulary.
We all know how to teach two different types of words. Since the
initiative related to the four skills (listening - speaking - reading - writing). For
this type of teachers needed to invest the time to introduce and give students
more practice. Teachers need to know the options and decide what will be taught
from such a word from active and passive as a word.
- When teaching new words to clarify three basic elements of language are:
+ Form.
+ Meaning.
+ Use.

- The number of words to be taught in all, depending on the content and
level of the student. Never teach all new words, for they will not have enough
time to perform other activities. However, in an elementary lesson in my opinion
should only teach a maximum of 6 from.
- While choosing from teaching, I consider the following two conditions:
+ From there needed to understand the text?
+ From there it harder than students who are not qualified.
If the word is needed to understand the text and in accordance with the
level of the students, then it heading from positive, so we have to teach students
to master the specific measures I will set out below.
If the word is needed to understand the text, but harder than the level of
the students, it is not from a positive group, so we should explain it to the
students understand the significance of it immediately.
4. The steps teaching words
Step introduces all, introduce the topic: this is an important step in
teaching vocabulary. This step will determine the success of the lesson, it will
inspire students to think of the school from going through all the newly
introduced points.
9


The most important thing in the introduction of new words is to be
performed in sequence: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Never start
from activities other than "listening". Remember the process of learning our
mother tongue, always start by listening, imitating and then pronounce to other
activities.
- Step 1: "listen" to the students and form new words by reading or using
native CD is the best voice.
- Step 2: "say", after the student has heard the new requirements three
times you repeat students. As the students recalled, note repeat the class first,

then new personal call to check and fix them immediately.
- Step 3: "read", writes the words on the board and get students to look at
it to read. Have students read the entire class, and read personal and fixes for
students.
- Step 4: The "write", after the student has read the word correctly and
then you ask students to write new words into their notebooks.
- Step 5: Determine whether the student understand the word or not.
- Step 6: Mark accented words: pronounced again and ask students to
identify accented syllables and marking.
- Step 7: for the form and ask the students to define the genre of the new school.
5. Technical clarify meanings of words
In English each word usually has two sides: the meanings of words and
how to use. The meaning of words and how they are used like two different
issues. There are many cases when the dictionary we can understand the
meaning of words, but not so that already know how to use that word. Usage of
a word depends on the function of the word in a sentence, context, user habits
and their relationship with the environment and social culture. Here are tips to
clarify meaning from:
5.1. Intuitive user: Real objects on layers, pictures, drawings sketches (rod),
picture collage from magazines, gestures etc. There is a strong interest to the
powerful effect of student learning and help students memorize faster, longer.
+ Use real objects to teach on the subject of school supplies (School
things), apparel (clothes)
Example : School things. - Unit 8 : Grade 3

Pencil

Pencil case

Notebook

Schoolbag

Pencil sharpener

Rubbers

Pens

Rullers

+ Take pictures and real objects to introduce the topic of food, beverages
(food and drink), fruit (fruit), vegetables (vegetables)
10


Example : Food and drink. - Unit 13 : Grade 4

beef

Bread

pork

Orange juice

water

Rice

vegetables

Lemonade

+ Use pictures to teach on the subject of animals: wild animals, farm
animals, pets ,marine mammals (sea animals)...
Example: Wild animals. - Unit 19: Grade 4

Kangaroos

Crocodiles

Tigers

Elephants

Zebras

Monkeys

Pythons

Gorillas

+ Take pictures from magazines to teach seasons (Seasons of a years)

+ Sketch simple images to teach shapes, numbers.
+ Use a palette to teach about colors (color)
+ Use the calendar to teach things in weeks (days in a week), in months
(months of the year)

+ Sketch simple images to teach shapes, numbers.

+ Use pictures or real objects to teach about toys
+ Use of body parts on the topic pliant body (Parts of the body)
+ Use pictures to teach the room (rooms), interior decorations (Funiture),
weather (weather), emotions (fellings), sports (sports)
+ Use activities to clarify that the only active verbs (actions)
11


+ Mimicking the movements, gestures, facial expressions: teachers and
students themselves is always a lively visual sources that skillfully manipulate
will bring positive results.
Ex: happy – sad
5.2. Teach vocabulary through songs, chants, video clips
We use video clips, songs, chant all very effective in learning and
introduce vocabulary. Sometimes they just belong songs, chant that they had a
relative vocabulary. This method helps the children learn from a natural,
comfortable without being forced to learn is his. With this method the teacher
should invest the time to find on the website of the song, chant, the video clips
matching content lesson, psychological and physical fit his or her age. I think
that using this method to teach and reinforce vocabulary very effectively, can
encouraging all pupils to participate.
Example 1 : The Alphabet Song
Now I know my ABCs
Next time won`t you sing with me.
- The song “ We are the alphabet ”
AB C D E F G// H I J K L N M O P///Q R S /T U V/ W X Y Z
Now I know my ABCs
Next time won`t you sing with me.

Example 2 : Chant
How many desks?
How many,how many,
How many desks are there?
One,one,there’s one.
How many,how many,
How many maps are there?
two,two,there are two.
How many,how many,
How many lamps are there?
three,three are three.
5.3. Use language learned
Definition, describe: Students will rely on vocabulary and basic
knowledge to guess the meaning of words through the definition of teachers.
This procedure gives the students curiosity and wish to participate in the
learning process at the same time forging listening skills for students.
EX: + T: It is very big and it has a long nose. What is it?
Ss : Is it an elephant?
T: Yes!
Use synonyms, antonyms.
We use synonyms or antonyms to clarify the meaning of a word when the
students already know the meaning of a word in a pair of synonyms, antonyms.
a. Synonyms.
nice = beautiful,
clever =intelligent
Bike = bicycle
b. Antonym.
Like - hate
Cheap – expensive
Black- white

Rich -poor
12


Based on the rules formed, made of words: Students guess the meaning
of new words are formed from the root. With this rule not only teachers help
students grasp the knowledge, but also expanding vocabulary for students
* Work – worker, drive – driver, write – writer, read – reader
* Happy – unhappy, formal – informal, patient – impatient, tity – untidy
* Like - dislike, lock – unlock, agree – disagree.
Create situations: Teachers set simple situation, understandable in
English, meaning students through situations guess, can imitate, use the word in
the context of communication and listening skills forged.
E.g 1: This is my brother. He’s very lazy. He gets up late, and he doesn’t
do anything. I say to him, “ Don’t be lazy! Do your homework!”
Guess context: the meanings of words in sentences:
Eg. My school is small. There are ten classrooms.
Lan’s school is big. There are nineteen classrooms.
5.4. Coordinating multiple techniques in teaching vocabulary
In the process of introducing new words the teacher should cooperate with
each other techniques. Such teachers set up situations in English, students will
try and guess the word in context, represented by combined movements,
gestures and ask questions students have used that word.
EX: T: Look: He can tremor
T: Now, look at me: I can run (T perform movements "run")
T: She can run (run Call 1 pupil)
T: Run, tremor
Ss: run
T: What does it mean Vietnamese?
Ss: Run (HS translated into Vietnamese).

6. Measures to combat forgotten (Check vocabulary) through games in
Primary students
Forgot new words is a common disease in children in primary school .
Many students complained that despite repeating a new word that a lot of times,
even when they feel that but remember new words in class, it's Gone. Some
researchers suggest that the origin of the information is forgotten because we do
not use information stored in permanent memory and gradually they disappeared
from memory. So teachers need to apply knowledge about how the brain stores
information to improve the quality of student learning vocabulary.
6.1. Make lessons memorable
There are many ways to make lessons easy access to the memory of
students, such as using pictures; new cages in the context of practical use,
enjoyable; tell stories in English with the words that students need to learn.
Besides, teachers can create conditions for students to use newly learned words that
each child's own way to complete the task of learning really useful for them in life.
6.2. Create conditions for students are regularly using the words learned
The key to successful teaching is repeated in different ways, using
different skills. To help students remember now is the vocabulary or structure,
13


we can use a simple repeat fun game, it can dispel the boredom of school hours
instead is create an environment fun learning increases students' interest for
learning, that they are always willing to participate in class.
7. The game aims to consolidate and increase vocabulary for students:
* Bingo: Use this game to strengthen memory and comprehension of
students. This game is appropriate to consolidate on topics such as: The count
(Number), alphabet (The Alphabet), the only occupation (Occupation), colors
(colors), fruit (Fruit), animals (animals), apparel (clothes), occupation (jobs)...
* Network :Example 1

fox

lion

animals
cow

tiger

* Crossword:
To test their vocabulary I often get them play crosswords: through images
suggested, guess the letters they are looking for, if team crossword guessed
correctly will be many winners.
EX: The body.

* Matching
This is also a very popular activity in the vocabulary lesson, students must
match words with its meaning and vice versa, or it may be connected pair of
antonyms, singular to plural... depending on content or the intention of the teacher.
* Slap the board
+ Teachers write new words or attached to the board paintings.
+ Call the two groups on the board, each group of 6 students
+ Ask the group to stand apart by about equal.
+ The teacher read out an English word
+ In turn the students in both groups ran to the table, patted or from
known paintings.
+ Students belonging to groups doing the right thing and faster then that
team scores.
+ The team with the most points is the winner.
14

(With this game, the teacher can read numbers, and some students find
themselves back from the corresponding read them)
* Jumbled words
- Teacher wrote some words with the letters on the board undisturbed.
- Requires students rearrange the letters into meaningful words.

to test students' memory through all four skills.
* Pelmanism (Games Greening)
Rules:
- Divide the class into 2 teams. Each team in turn appoint one member of
the team flip two cards. If the two cards match, then they are scored (10 points).

8. Review vocabulary through songs
Teachers always have to introduce and practice vocabulary in a particular
context to make it clearer and to experience more memorable. The conversation,
stories, songs are an effective way to the context of the language to them easy to
understand and easy to remember. The best tool we can use in the classroom is
the witty; therefore, search for materials capable of amusing for the students.
In English class, the vocabulary is remembered most effectively through
the songs with repetitive passages with strong rhythm and catchy melody. In fact,
teachers can create a steady tone for most of the structure or sequence of the
teaching. singing of short phrases, or even all the questions and answers will
simply stimulate student speech and save language into memory.
9. Help “save” language
When students have "practiced" a group of words or a specific structure,
to ensure what is in short-term memory is transformed into long-term memory.
To do this, teachers need to create more opportunities to reuse and review.
Make up a bank of new words is also a good idea to help students reflect on
what they have learned. Each class teacher brings to class cards to the members of
the group can examine or cross-examine each of you in the other groups. Teachers
ask students to divide themselves into groups learned from appropriate, even build
a story by exchanging the cards and write more sentences using words written on
each card word. By encouraging students to recall the vocabulary of the weather
before and they always create conditions for continuous contact with those words
in the next lesson, the teacher can completely cure the disease, "study previous
forgotten after" when learning new words.

10. Teach students self-learning method
New students need to learn is the subject of new teachers to replace them
can not be. Therefore, want to treat root disease 'after school before forgetting',
the method teaches students to learn is very important. At the start of the school
year take the time to help students understand the difficulties that students will
encounter when remembering new information and learning methods to teach
them effectively so as:
- Find the words that students are trying to keep in mind when reading or
listening to English.
16


- Write sentences using words to talk about what the new school close to
yourself.
- Remind students that the study on a regular basis is the best way for
them to improve vocabulary without forgetting what they have learned.
The effect of self-study of vocabulary depends very much on the students
combine the individual learning methods like. The task of the teacher in this case is
to create activities and learning tasks (in class and home) to help students to enrich
vocabulary and understanding of the methods of self-learn vocabulary. So that
students will have the opportunity to experience, evaluate the effectiveness and
then decided to choose the method most effective self-study.
11. Teach students how to takenotes
Help students organize notes in class so that the truth of science, efficient
and helpful. Guide different ways to present the vocabulary book (eg, use charts,
tree rings from new or tron...) and to the students themselves decide what the
most effective way for them. Do not forget to point out to students the benefits
of recorded examples illustrate.
Example: Use the family tree to record the names of family members:
12. Teach students how to think or guess

Contact languages are easier to remember than the language has no
connection whatsoever. That's why the best approach is to teach vocabulary
thematic or lexical sequence of the original share.
Created groups thematic vocabulary by drawing diagrams of thinking:
+ Students work in groups, looking for information on the topic given,
then compare with the group.
+ Teachers gathers feedback from students.
+ Bonus listed groups are correct and more from under the theme, and
finish first.
IV. The effectiveness of the project
To be a successful English lessons are introducing vocabulary, and help
students learn vocabulary, vocabulary used is very important.
- Teachers need to identify good teaching vocabulary in English is to help
students good addition to the skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Students develop vocabulary, have the ability to select, arrange sentences, ideas
clearly. Train thinking abilities rich imagination and the ability of students to use
the word. Thereby helping students confident, able to behave, communicate
flexibility and the ability to use English in daily life and in everyday life.
- At the begining of the lesson, teachers must clearly identify the main
content, understanding the purpose and requirements of the lesson so that the
choice of teaching methods accordingly.
- Create a comfortable, lively lesson, cooperation of mutual trust between
teachers and students to promote positive thinking good of the students.
Teachers should use the terminology simple, easy to understand during lectures.
- Updates the information related to teaching English in primary schools.
- Understanding the psychological characteristics of students at each age.
17


- Self study teacher always educate yourself, contact exchange

experiences with colleagues in teaching.
- Regular use of teaching aids and equipment in the room in English.
I believe that if you continue to experience this innovation seriously,
throughout the process, the quality of teaching academic subjects in English in
primary schools in Ngoc Trao in particular and in general elementary schools
will get better results. To assert that I conducted for students in grades 3 to do a
control test at the end of the school year. Through quality survey after applying
this theme at the end of 2016-2017 school year, I realized that students have
obvious changes. Generally students love more subjects. Good understanding
and grasp all. The four skills training pretty good level. Ability to use language
fairly. Results obtained through the end of the school year 2016-2017 survey in
primary schools in Ngoc Trao as follows:

C- CONCLUSION AND PROPOSAL
I. Conclusion
Vocabulary plays an important role in the language system. There are no
adequate vocabulary, people can not use the word as a means of communication.
The vocabulary taught English for Primary students properly help students with
a means of communication to comprehensive development. Vocabulary richer
students how much greater usability, more accurately, communication activities
will be made clear and sharper.
The success of the teaching depends foremost on the atmosphere necessary
to communicate words that teachers create classroom, it is important how the
students adapt to such communication. In addition, teachers must have a method
to all the students can remember vocabulary effectively, give them multiple
learning strategies and different stimuli. Agents can use images, sound agent and
most importantly, attract the participation of students; in which they not only
hear, see, but also to perform the movements. Finally, teachers need realistic
about goals and expectations about what individual students may encounter and
the time they need to rehearse, memorize and study.
II. Proposal
1. For students
- Encourage students to learn and use vocabulary to communicate in English.
- Encourage students to study in groups and the establishment of the
English-speaking or English clubs in the classroom or dynamic volume
gradually, more confident.
- Tell them always have the habit to inculcate review old knowledge.

2. For teachers
- Give children a love, a passion for the English language as well as
awareness of the importance of English in our lives.
- Regularly inspect and evaluate the results of student learning as well as
praise, encourage timely reminder.
- Do not stop investing, expanding knowledge and innovative teaching
methods.
- In addition, teachers should also regularly attend another hour on that
basis for comments and learning experience.
3. For upper leader
- Construction of function rooms available for projectors for teaching and
learning English.
- I suggest that Department of District Education and training will
organize an English exchange program for all English primary teachers so that
we have opportunity to share experience and initiatives in teaching English and
have chance to practice speaking English with each other.
In writing this topic, short-comings are unavoidable; therefore,
constructive comments from teachers and colleagues are welcome to fully
complete the topic.
Sincerely thanks,
