Some solutions to help students in grade 6 learn english well by using the teaching group discussion methods

1. THE OPENING
1.1. Reasons for choosing the project
English plays a very important role in the formation and development of
society and is a standard for assessing the development of a nation as education
is to provide human capital and talents to society. Specially in the times of the
modern day, to day is learning the technology of fast-growing technology in
order to gain the quint essence of advanced scientific and technological culture.
Each developed country requires us to have a certain level of English, and
English is the international language. Therefore, in recent years, English has
become a compulsory subject in many languages. So the challenge is how to
have a good, high-quality, and effective English learning to use fluent grammar
structures to meet this demand. The student not only perfected himself in terms
of professional qualification but also had to change and apply methods of
teaching from the viewpoint of innovation, today's teaching methods aim to
develop students'creative dynamics in order to create the ability to recognize and
solve their problems. In this foreign language, these innovative orientations It is
increasingly true that no one is substituting learners for the grasp of their own
abilities. Communication is the ultimate product of teaching and learning to
advance in today's schools. But in order to communicate well with you, besides
the skills: Listening, speaking and reading, an important factor is English
grammar. By grammar, adhesive is important. But now a reality is happening at
my school where students learn to be afraid to learn grammar. Especially the
sixth grade students - the thing that has to be remembered is that they have
difficulty learning grammar - the first grammatical unit in important
grammatical topics stretches. Throughout the curriculum I found that sixth
graders are having a hard time dealing with exercises such as verbal conjugation
in assertive, negative, s, Es ..As a perennial English teacher, exposed to many
students in many different locations, I really worry about the quality of learning
English in general, how students learn well by using the teaching group work

discussion. . In order to achieve the objective of the lesson, in addition to using the
superiority of many methods, it is necessary to use group discussion as it is one of
the best methods to help students develop their mind. Create your own, learn for
yourself about the knowledge of the lesson through the opinions of your group.

So with the passion for my job, desire tolearn, I'm researching solutions to
improve the quality of learning English” Some solutions to help students in
grade 6 learn English well by using the teaching group discussion methods”
1.2. Research purposes
Applying organization experince to students working in groups in
effective English teaching is a range-research experience initiative that pffers
some scenarios and exercises that are suitable for working in group.There rae
also a number of ways to organize group and direct activitivies in groups tp
promote student aativeness, encourage students to think and participate in
learning activities organizee by teacher, developeing skills through group
activities, contributing to proposing a number of ideas to improve the ways of
organizing group activities such as how to divide groups, assign tasks, discuss
content.
1.3. Research subjects
The object of this initiative is to use an active teaching style that is
consistent with the content of each lesson is by using the teaching group
discussion for graduated junior high school students use it effectively, easy to
remember the knowledge in grade 6.
1.4. Research Methods.
1. Document reading method
Read and learn materials related to the present simple, textbook.
2. Method of investigation.

Conduct experiments in assessing students through the first two years of
the school year and at the end of the first semester to find and adjust appropriate
teaching methods to produce good or bad results.
3. The method of conversation
Frequent exchange from colleagues in the foreign language team to find a
good method.
4. Experimental methods.
Register for a training session to assess the lessons learned from the
current tutorial.
2. THE CONTENT OF THE INITIATIVE EXPERIENCE
2.1. The rationale of the experience initiative

“Teamwork Talent can help you win games, but teamwork and
intelligence will help you win the championship”. - King of basketball Michael
Jordan .In many cases, teamwork has a great influence on the results achieved
by an organization or enterprise. The following article discusses important
benefits of teamwork. benefits of teamwork - teamwork 1 Table of contents
[hide] Team work helps improve members' experience and skills better Promote
creativity Solve problems faster Increase work productivity Teamwork helps to
reduce stress at work Improve conflict resolution skills Team work helps
improve members' experience and skills better Each member of a group has
different skills, experiences and perspectives, no one is completely alike.
Therefore, this will be a favorable opportunity for members to learn and
improve their own skills based on the others' perspectives
Weak experience will be able to quickly grasp the job if there is a team
leader or experienced mentors on the team, instead of having to solve it alone.
Because of that, they will significantly shorten their own training time by

observing their colleagues at work. Meanwhile, the gap in qualifications and
skills between individuals will gradually narrow, and the strength of the
organization will increase.
Promote creativity When working in a team, most of us will have to go
through a few certain discussions and meetings to give opinions, express
opinions with different situations given. This is an opportunity to boost students'
creativity. Old, familiar and somewhat ineffective options will be gradually
explored by new and more active ideas. The constant debate motivates students
to always find new things to deal with work effectively. Solve problems faster
Solve problems faster 1
Working together can help a team solve problems more quickly. That is
because, the combination of many brains will help come up with more optimal
solutions, when the pressure of time is increasing.
Moreover, placing each individual in the right task based on their ability
and forte will be the prerequisite lever to the group's results. A job is cut into
parts and divided into each student based on their own strengths, from which the
work will become more fluently.
On the other hand The innovation of foreign language teaching methods is
in line with the content innovation, but this task requires the effort of


4

undertaking a real revolution that teachers have to make in order to change their
perspectives. Habits do not match the requirements and tasks teaching today.
The goal of English language arts in Grade 6 is to provide students with a
basic knowledge of the English language program and a vocabulary of
vocabulary and basic structures expressed through listening and speaking skills.
Read - Write step by step building the ability to communicate to students.
To achieve the objectives of the lesson, the teacher must apply effective

measures in teaching and learning in the classroom. The group discussion
method is indispensable in every language lesson.
Our country and our society are innovating, so education is changing, and
English teaching in schools is changing. Innovate for more practical results,
meet the need to innovate in teaching English class 6 with good results. Group
discussion method is collectivization of target audience, learning process of
students
In this method the activities of each individual are organized in concert to
achieve common goals.
Group discussion allows the group members to share their experiences,
understand what they are thinking, and they can comment on their level of
knowledge about the topic. What should be learned, the lesson becomes a
process of self-learning rather than a passive reception from the teacher.
Group discussions play a very important role in language learning, but in
practice are not properly considered, resulting from many different reasons,
from teachers as well as students.
So I see this is a very important topic that each teacher must pay attention
and study to take measures to promote student activeness in the group discussion
and achieve the goal of the school
2.2. Realize the problem before applying the innovation initiative
Just like other subjects, English has its own advantages and
disadvantages.
*Advantages :
School administrators always pay attention to and create favorable
conditions in material foundations and professional documents for teaching
subjects such as pictures, projectors.


5

-The government and the masses in and out of the school always get the
support from the team teachers and colleagues.
- I always self-study and self-improvement as well as training to improve
professional skills such as taking exam
Many English language learners are well prepared for books and school
supplies. The majority of parents are always interested in and supportive of their
children's learning.
* Difficulties
- The majority of students in Xuan Phuc Junior High School are ethnic
minorities in the 135-particularly difficult economic areas. They do not have a
structured and vocabulary learning method.. English is hard to study with
students in general and students in mountainous areas in particular difficult.
Many children do not speak fluently, it is difficult to learn more English.
- They are not aware of the importance of the subject and foreign
language is a special subject difficult for children are ethnic minority students
are not fluent. So they are depressed.
-A part of the students do not have time to do homework and study at
home because outside the classroom they have to help families work in the field,
the house ..
- With the development of information technology, there are many types
of entertainment, especially online games have attracted a number of students
have conditions to participate and the game has been "poisoning" to spend a lot
of time. Time for study, many sa da, learning increasingly distracted. This also
contributes to the weaker student body in English.
- A parent who is suffering from difficult economic conditions should not
have time to help the children do homework. Another part of time is having
difficulty navigating your child as it is in English.
-You do not have the opportunity to communicate with each other in
English outside of class time.

Based on the above statistics, it can be seen that the proportion of students
who are weak is quite high. This proves that students are not able to
communicate in English on a basic level. They have not fully developed the
positive effort in learning and the ability to think creatively.
Their ability to pronounce is limited, due to rural students. They are not
eager to learn. Therefore, in the process of implementation, there are many
obstacles for teachers as well as learners. In general, the quality of the topic is not
high in learning the skills. Teachers do not assign the students well to prepare the
contents of the discussion. Students do not prepare the lesson before class, so it
takes time to discuss. Therefore, in the time limit of a class, teachers can not go in
depth to guide students to thoroughly analyze the content of each group.
Some students also rely on the group to not actively discuss. From that
fact, as a person teaching English directly, I have tried to work out ways to
promote students' activeness in group discussions to achieve the goal of teaching
hours.
2.3. The solution to solve the problem.
Solution 1: Inspire students right from the beginning of the lesson by
using group work
The method of excitement is an extremely important task to meet the
needs of program and textbook innovation and to gradually improve the quality
of teaching and learning English. Modern teaching reasoning is a factor. Not
only in the teaching process but also in the general development of the
formation of the child's personality. We know that any work that we are
interested in will have the best results, the perception will be based on
excitement and it will become interesting, comfortable and easy. Joy and selfawareness are the two psychological factors that assure independent creativity,
independent in learning, the key to unlocking all knowledge. From the
perspective is the basis for me to provide prizes. This method is to maximize the
excitement of learning for sixth graders when approaching the grammar. Since
then, turning difficult things into easy problems into the memory of the students
in the most effective natural way.

For example, at unit 5 Things I by period 25 A My day A1,
Jumble words:


7

Teacher: Teacher: Gives some jumble words and give aclue: the activities
in your day.
Teacher: Divides class into two teams.After reparing in 1 minute teacher
calls each team to give the correct answer.
1.tge-up
get up
2.ypla gaem
play game
3.og to lshooc
go to school
4.do heomwrko.
Do homework
The team which completes the work more quickly and writes more correct
words in the game.
Solution 2: We use active teaching methods flexibly with different
tricks through each unit to help students remember the the modal sentences
and rewareds by using group work through games
Teaching in the form of game organization.
-The purpose is to help students memorize the form of the tobe verb and
the verb often in the present simple tense
Games are a way to help students relax and the game is also very useful
in understanding the grammatical structure, because the dynamics of the game
they will express energetically, competitive to win the section. Win for your
team.

* T use the “ Slap the board “ to check new word unit 1: B good
mmorning
To play this game the teacher puts up a set of pictures or words on a board
and divides the class into two teams.The teacher then has a student from each
team come up to the board with fly swatters. They then listen as the teacher calls
out a word or a sentence and they race to slap the correct picture. Whoever is the
fastest with the correct slap gets a point for their team and the next students then
come up.

For example : Student orientation instructor doing assignments 1,2,3 to
the correct verb form of be be instead of calling students to fill in the blank
space. Will use the game:
* Lucky flowers
Example 5: Things I do period 30 C: class C 2,3,4
After instructing students from new teachers to organize students to use
the structure, the current application asks and answers the schedule with their
friends. C3
Russia: When do we have history?
Ba: We have it on tueday and Thursday
Russia: When do we have math?
Ba: We have it on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Russia: Does Lan have math on Friday?
Ba: Well, she does not.
B. Group word with lucky flowers.
Example: unit 7 Your house period 42 C 4
To answer the question, teachers organize group activities through lucky
flowers.

correct answer is 15 points.
Two groups make the game until all nine flowers are picked.
- The finalists and the more points is the team winner.
* Matching

The goal is to help all students participate in a game that encourages both

students to become invincible.
Teacher gives extra board unit 13 A the weather and the seasons

1.It is hot
a. in the winter
2.It is cold
b.in the summer
3.It is warm
c. In the fall
4.it is cool
d.in the spring
Students come up to the board to do the exercises.
* Crossword
Unit 5: Things I do period 27
To reinforce the use of ordinary verbs in the simplest of present I also use the
Crossword puzzle game to help students remember and distinguish verb forms.
The teacher prepared
- Step 1: Prepare 12 cards containing the types of verbs in the lesson:
Get up, play, play, watch, watch, watch, watch, listens, read, reads.
-Teacher give extra board write the sentences:
1.I ............... .at six
2.Nga ............ .at six
3.I ............... game
4. She ............ .game
5.I ............... to school
6. She ......... to school
7.I .............. Television
8.Ba ............ television

9.I ………. to music
10.I ......... the housework
11.I ...... .book
12. Thu ............... .book
- Teacher gives the student a card and grabs the student.
Step 4: The teacher comments and gives the correct answer while
reinforcing the A 7 remember.
* What and where
The purpose of this game is to help them remember the parts of the body.
The instructor will write these words up on the board in a non-orderly
fashion and then call them back.
- Delete a word but do not delete the external part
- Repeat the word including the word to be deleted.
-Delete another word until all the remaining words are highlighted.
-Remove the students on the board to rewrite the deleted words.
Example Unit 9 :the body -English 6

arm

hand

fingers
chest

shoulder

head
foot

This sentence is: Thanh always does not listen to music,
Solution 3: Organize practice exercises through active teaching active pairs of groups.
-Living a form of active teaching organization is effective and high
educational purpose and group activity is one of the forms of teaching to
promote the active initiative of the students. At the same time, they can learn
from their peers' work experience or work together to come up with a quick, or
correct answer. On the other hand Through group activities, students will be
more confident and confident when they are encouraged by their friends.
Therefore, I use this form to organize students. Do the general types of exercises
and exercises for the present tense in particular.
-for example:
Exercise: Use the correct form of the verb in the following sentences in
the present simple tense:
• - Tom (speak) ............... three languages.
• - They all (speak) ............... three languages.
• - I (not / like) ................. swimming.
• - She (live) ............... in Hanoi.
• - Michael (have) .................. two bothers.
* Distribute student cards and ask students to practice in pairs.
* In the lessons taught in the examples
Unit 6: place- period 31 A: our house A1
Unit 7: your house- period 40 B: town and country B 1
Unit 7: your house -period 42 C 4: on the movie
Unit 12: Sports and Pastimes - Period 77 C6: How often
Exercise 2: Change the following sentences with positive and simple forms
1. They listen to English every day
2. He plays badminton every afternoon
3. They play volleyball every morning

4. He does homework every night
5. He has breakfast at 6.30


11

6. I get up at 9.00 every morning.
7. Mary and Peter go to work every day
8. We have dinner at 8 pm
9. My father reads books every day
10. Nga practices English every week.
Use the slide projector and ask students to work in groups of 4
2.4. Effect of ideas
After a session proceed to apply the above mentioned teaching methods,
I've tracked and surveyed the quality of student learning about the present
simple tense of Xuan Phuc secondary school and obtained a relatively
satisfactory results. Specific figures are as follows:

A long time ago , In english lessons mostly only teachers talk and
students hear, about 5% of children and speak English boldly and it is very
difficult to organize pair work, groupwork and discussions, the number of
average points for the oral test are about 35% -40% and most students speak

intonation improperly.
For class 6 that I taught, in the 2019-2020 school year before applying
group work practicing tricks to practice 4 skills. The result is only about 40% of
children can read English and very few students can read fluently with correct
intonation, 70% of children do not know, not remember the meaning of the
words. After applying pronunciation practice tricks to teach structures in the
lessons, the results have been improved and checkpoints mouth quality (oral
test) has been also raised. Particular results of class 6 has got 80% of above
average points, good points rose to 10 -15%. And after a period of applying
pronunciation practice tricks continuously their speaking ability have been
better. The quality of the written test, listening and reading test has been
improved considerably: Class 6: 91% above average. 80% of students in class 8
can read learned lessons proficiently, pupils can speak and write Eghlish very
well. In the lessons, students are getting more boldly, excited and reflex more


12

quickly when being asked or switch to the kinds of exercises, they become more
enthusiastic and confident as well as know how to comment and correct myself
and you friends.
In comparision with the result at the beginning, it can be said that this
result has improved a lot. Moreover, by using these solutions, students are more
interested in learning. They are always ready to receive every lesson with the
highest excitement. This also help the teacher feel excited in teaching as well as
finding new methods to help students learn a foreign language better and better.
3. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
3.1. Conclusion
After 10 years of teaching as well as applying the subject, I can draw
some following experience:

a) For the teacher:
For any other subject, the teachers also need to create excitement for the
children at the beginning and especially have to guide them to self-study
because time in each period is only limited within 45 minutes. Intelligent
students only try to remember the main knowledge. Want to study well, they
have to spend time self-learning and researching as well as reviewing lessons at
home.
Study time at home is primary but many students do not have
consciousness, and especially do not know how to learn themselves. Therefore
every teacher should stimulate, motivate and guide them to learn. Having done
this task, teachers were successful in their teaching.
Especially while performing this topic, teachers also need to be noted:
- Need to specify the tasks for each group, guide the tasks of each group,
each individual student clearly, easily to understand
- Teachers should act as a guide, always help students, help them answer
questions whenever they need.
b) For the students.
- Each individual should actively participate in the group that he had been
assigned, actively carry out his duties.
- Must be united with other members in his group and specially must have
passion for the subject.

3.2. Recommendation
In addition to training in teaching methods by the Thanh Hoa Department
of Education and Training held annually,Nhu Thanh education and training
sector need to organize training sessions, thematic teachingsto help English
teachers in our district have an opportunity to learn, exchange experiences with

each other.
I also strongly contributed to the relevant authorities with some comments:
- Program of grades has been experimented and is close to the actual
content that suit to each grade but in my opinion the relevant departments should
incorporate more so that teachers have appropriate equipment. For example, tape
and disks illustrating reading, listening texts move to all schools a lot but we
have not effectively use them : small voice, voice intonation is not shown by
native speakers.
- There should be trainings and documentation to conduct teachers of
lexical tone, intonation practice technique ....
I would be sincerely grateful to the Administration, Foreign Language
groups who have encouraged, motivated and helped me complete my experience
initiatives.
With the rapid pace of development in harmony with the development of
the whole society, teaching methods are constantly changing accordingly.
As a teacher who has been teaching for many years, I find myself always
missing out on new information. Particularly well-prepared materials for the
students, on the school side should have good facilities, full visual supplies,
vivid pictures so teachers have time to invest in new initiatives and preparation
for more effective teaching. I am looking forward to the interest of the district's
education leaders, the province for us to participate in the training of good
students and create opportunities for our teachers exchange business. We work
together more often so that each and every one of our teachers will be able to
achieve better quality of education that the educational objective sets.
Last but not least I would like to thank!
And that is precisely the contents and results in which the survey afford,
seek documents I made of myself. Therefore inevitable flaws in my view. I
wish survive a suggestions for my topics and the teaching process of itself
