(Sáng kiến kinh nghiệm) practicing the vocabulary of english 6,7,8(new)

I. INTRODUCTION
1. The reason for choosing the topic.
 

As we know, English is an important language, commonly used world-wide
and   is   used   in   different   fields.  In the   national   construction,   development   and
integration   with   the   world, English has   become   a   vital   tool,   work   tool   and
communicative  tool   between all of the modern people, it is an important second
language after their mother tongue. Teaching English from secondary schools is
very   necessary   and   contributes   to   the   education   of   the   younger   generation   to
become   comprehensive   people. English   learners   have   the   opportunity   to   learn,
access   to   the   rich,   fascinating   culture   of   oldest   countries   in   the   world. In   our
country, English is considered the language of transaction in economics, politics,
culture, and has been teaching at the elementary, secondary, college, university ...
In process of learning English, we know more in another language, a different
culture and also more love Vietnamese and Vietnamese culture. To use English as
a language of communication, we not only need to master the rules of grammar,
have good  listening   skills,  have  knowledge  of   the  language  but   also   to have  a
number of diversified, rich lexical. In teaching and learning English, vocabulary is
one of three elements forming the system of language knowledge, it is the mean
and   condition   of   formation   and   development   of   communication   skills. In   any
language,   the   role   of   vocabulary   is   also   very   important. It   is   possible   that   a
language   is   a   subset   of   the   vocabulary. We   can   not   understand   the   language
without   understanding   the   vocabulary,   or   lexical   units. Thus,   learning   and
practicing vocabulary skills is the leading factor in the transmission of a passive
and receptive language in general and English in particular. Because vocabulary is
a language unit so it is expressed in two forms: speech and handwriting. If you
want to use a foreign language, that is, you must master the expressive forms from
the verbal and writing. But due to the association of words with the other elements
of language (grammar, pronunciation, intonation ...) or in social situations, many
researchers believe that to build a wall language vocabulary is the "bricks" and the

grammar   and   sentence   structure   as   "grout"   to   mount   the   brick   wall   creates
language. Without   a   vocabulary   necessary,   students   can   not   use   the   sentence
structure and the function of language in communication.
From the above reasons, I have researched and applied effectively the experience
initiatives "Practicing the vocabulary of English 6,7,8 (new)"  and  I am  pleased to
present to you. Due to the limited time and limited experience, my initiative should not
be experienced as unwanted, I am looking forward to  your contributions to my ideas.
2. The purpose of research.
1


Helping students at Thach Binh secondary schools learn English better through the
activities of learning the vocabulary.
3. Study subjects.
Research   subjects   are   students   in   grades   6,7   and   8   (new)   of   Thach   Binh
Secondary School, school year 2015-2016 and 2016-2017.
4. Methods :
With this topic I have applied the following methodology :
      + Observe students
      + Interview with students
     + Check and compare learning results of student.
     + Discuss with teachers and reference textbooks
After each lesson I have assessment in the form of implementation of each period ,
then   analyze   the   goods   to   maintain,   continue   improving   to   reduce
students’limitations for the next lesson.
        Through many the lessons I have chosen and find out the best forms and infer
useful experience.
II. CONTENT OF THE THEME :
1. The basis issues
Vocabulary is one of the tools people use to think, express ideas, emotions

and learn about the world, is the foundation for all development skills such as
reading comprehension, listening comprehension, speaking, writing, ... It is also
the major tool that help students use English effectively. Indeed, when talking to a
native English speaking person, watch a movie without English subtitles, listening
to a favorite song or read English documents, ... we will always be exposed to from
vocabulary.
A famous linguist once said if we does not learn grammar well,we can still
achieve something, but if we do not have the vocabulary, we wouldn’t able to
express anything at all. Native speakers can understand the article correctly use
vocabulary that is not grammatically correct. However, they will not understand
grammatically correct article, but do not use the exact words.
A   reality   show,   Vietnam   students   learning   English   often   encounter
obstacles in   how   to   speak   English   fluently.  They   often   find   it   difficult   to
participate in activities related to the speaking skill, because they only use a few
repetitive   structures  and  vocabulary. Thus,   their  communication  was   interrupted
abruptly early due to lack of vocabulary.
In short, if they do not have the vocabulary skills, their listening, speaking,
reading   and   writing   skill   will   not   be   developed.   If   you   do   not   have   enough
vocabulary,   the   people   will   have   problems,   even   failure   in   communication.
Recognizing the importance of this, today all applicable methods in teaching are
focused to teach vocabulary. And start learning English is always associated with
learning vocabulary.
2


Therefore,   in   the   teaching   process   I   thought   about   how   students   acquire
vocabulary best to help students create the atmosphere lively language learning,
help them remember the lessons from the right in, from which they can more easily
use the word in the communication process.
2. The reality of the research

a. Reality:
a.1. Advantages:
Thach Binh Secondary School is the National Standard, my school has a
total of 09 classes with 315 students. 
The School Management is particularly interested in teaching and learning
English in school.
Program content textbooks appropriate, closer to the daily life of students
with   many   beautiful   pictures,   eye-catching,   so   the   program   have   generated
excitement in learning for students.
The development of information technology and Internet can help teachers
easily find the resources to support teaching via the Internet.
The teacher has a high sense of responsibility and enthusiasm in teaching,
reach the Standard level B2.
a.2. Difficulties:
Through practical teaching of English in secondary school fifteen years ago,
I found this course quality is still low due to several reasons:
Limitation of teaching equipment:
Thach   Binh   Secondary   School   has   less   visual   aids   for   teaching   and
learning. The school does not have audio-visual classrooms dedicated to learning
English. The  procurement   of   equipment   for   self-study   English   in   their   family’s
students will be extremely difficult, not every family can afford.
Opportunities to practice English not much:
My school is located in a small commune, students don’t apply what they have
learned   to   everyday   life. The   children   should   not   be   exposed   to   foreigners   to
practice   English. Scope   of   practice   English   is   done   only   in   the   classroom
hours. Therefore, they always feel that learning English is mandatory, just learn to
get points but they are not aware of learning English as a tool to communicate.
Limitation of time and form of organization of the activities in class:
Secondary   students   are   very   active,   inquisitive   but   also   very   quickly
bored. The   school   alone   will   make   you   feel   very   monotonous   lessons,   so   they

would love  learning while playing, learning that the school play-play. However
they are small, their writing speed very slow leading to limited time to organize
other activities interfere simple as learning to sing, play the game ... Also, if you
have the time to organize activities that was not rich.
Low motor and awareness of learning: English  is  a pricipal subject   in
secondary school, so some students and even their parents are not aware of the
3


importance   of   learning   English.   A   number   of   children   attending   school   is
mandatory, they have no motivation in the learning process. In fact, English is a
new course for secondary school students, so they can not avoid the initial surprise,
besides that this is a difficult course with the sound and strange writing that they
can   not   avoid   certain   difficulties. First,   they   are   excited   with   the   subject   but
gradually,   due   to   the   amount   of   knowledge   and   increasingly   more   and   more
difficult,   if   they   themselves   don’t   study   actively,   they   vill   not   understand   the
lessons, this will lead to their depression, and they will not want to learn. Also a
special   reason   why   they   have   psychological   problems   because   of   the   school's
English-speaking children do not read well. In fact, when I teach this subject, I
found that a good talk, a good read for secondary students, is not so easy because
the  remembering   of   the new  words  and   phrases   in   the English   lessons   is very
difficult, especially for secondary school students in general and students in Thach
Binh Secondary School in particular. The slow reading and writing of secondary
students is the cause of this situation, the retention of the children is not reliable
and not deep, forgotten homework right after the previous post, most of them are
not bold and flexible in applying what was learned to communicate with each other
during school hours or during everyday activities.
b. Result and effect of the current reality
        I   studied   the   method   of   teaching   vocabulary   for   students   at   Thach   Binh
Secondary School.

    Initially, through the monitor of the students’ studying, I realied that the students
were afraid of learning English vocabulary, they were very worried when I checked
the vocabulary of the previous lessons.
 At the end of the first semester (mid-December) of Academic Year 2015- 2016, I
had made some small tests of vocabulary :

Through the survey, I found the quality of their learning is not as satisfactory
as I expected, the number of students achieving good results is low, the number of
students with weak results is even higher. From that result, I presume to give you
some tips to teach English vocabulary and to improve students’ learning. And I
want   to   introduce   with   you "some tricks to teach vocabulary for students" to
consult with colleagues.
3. The solution implemented
Solution 1: Apply all forms that help students to remember new words fast,
pronounce correctly after each class lesson.
Solution 2: Apply  the new and  flexible method  to  organize the rich  and
diversified lessons to inspire students, help them to acquire all the better.
Solution 3: Apply   information   technology   and   visual   aids   use   utensils
thoroughly the lessons.
Solution 4: Regularly   inspect   and   evaluate   the   learning   outcomes   of
students to grasp timely the extent of students’ acquirability and memorability of
their knowledge, from which I can give timely adjustments in the teaching process.
Solution 5: Consult   with   School   Menagement   to   built   foreign   language
classrooms and to buy more facilities for language learning.

4. Measures carried out:
From practical teaching, I myself really thought how can make students to
be interested in learning , how can make them to realize that learning English is not
heavy pressure, so they learn better and especially they can remember new words
faster, easier, longer ..., I gave some tips, ways to teach vocabulary for secondary
students.
4.1. Teaching vocabulary through songs, poems
No one can deny the important influence of the music and poetry of human
life. Most everyone loves music. It's always with people whether that person happy
or sad. It appears everywhere, all the time to share joy or sadness relieve when we
need to. Futhermore,  poetry-music can increase concentration, enhance memory,
makes   people   closer   together,   creating   motivation   and   joy   in   learning,   makes
people relax when they are depressed or stress, ...
6


Because of the tremendous value that brings poetry to music, it has been
used as educators useful tool in teaching. And now the use of songs, poetry as a
tool to support the learning of foreign languages is quite common. Just a few tunes
of   the   song,   students   can   learn   the   culture   of   authentic   language,   vocabulary,
grammar, listening skills, and a variety of other skills.
Using song and poem in class can make the classroom atmosphere becomes
fun and dynamic. Students will not feel stressed, even scared like to speak English
in   class   solemn   atmosphere. It   is   this   will   make   them   feel   really   excited   and
voluntary participation in classroom activities.
The songs, poems not only create excitement for student learning, but also
contains   elements   of   very   rich   language   including   pronunciation,   vocabulary,
grammar ...
The   songs,   poetry   can   help   students   to   learn   about   pronunciation. For
learners of English in general and in particular primary school students, there’re

some sound that are very difficult to imitate because our mother tongue does not
have this sound such as: /ð/, /θ/, /æ/,... Therefore, you must learn how to pronounce
inflexibly that can still not pronounce. The wrong pronunciation can change the
meaning of the phrase, will not lead to communication results, because listeners
misinterpreted   the   transmission   of   information.   Songs,   poems   can   help   them
overcome this. The melody of the song, the rhythm of the poem often repeated a
similar sound. When they heard many times, they will indirectly be told how to
pronounce the sound that makes you remember them and eventually the correct
pronunciation.
Some activities to learn vocabulary associated with songs, poems to
promote motor learning for students:
- Gap-filling: First, I give the students lyrics, poems have been vacant for a
number of positions. they heard the first to grasp the content of the post. Then hear
from a second to fill in the blanks as much as possible. The third time, they listen
to check if you have correctly filled. This type of exercise is useful when teaching
vocabulary by topic.
- Get some words from the songs, the poems.
Step 1: Write some random words on the board. Students exchange with
each other about what the words mean.
Step 2: Students divide into groups of three to four people quickly memorize
the words.
Step 3: Turn on the song or the poem, student must speak loudly "Stop"
when they hear one of those words.
- Spelling: For some simple post, I  ask them to hear and copy the words.
- Circle synonyms, antonyms with given words: In this case, I give a few
words with the same or antonyms words in poems or songs to the board, in the
process of hearing, they must circle the synonymsor antonyms of the words given.
- Circle the correct word with its meaning: I offer a number of Vietnamese,
they would circle the meaning of English words in such poems or songs or vice
versa.

4.2. Teaching vocabulary through the use of visual maps, through
pictures, picture collage or through gestures, posture ...
Secondary   students   are   very   active,   they   enjoyed   exploring   visual
exploration; visual effects. With nature curious, eager to learn and the ability to
perceive the visual world from vivid to abstract thinking, children are especially
excited when the teacher preparation utensils or right visual objects the classroom.
For example, when teaching the word "ball", I directly put the ball on the
table. Or just give them the difference between the word "desk" and "table" with
the   goal   of   learning   and   I   sat   on   the   desk   of   the   classroom   teacher.   With   the
topic "school", I use directly the school supplies of students to teach vocabulary;
they are very excited and elated.
In addition, I also introduce new words by using gestures act, gesture or
express facial expression ...
For example: I walk while saying: "I'm walking" or use a cup-sized gestures
as drinking water said: "I'm drinking" or my students and I dance toghether and we
talk "I can dane - I can dance ..." in chorus.
To   introduce   the  phrase "open the book" - "close the book", I   said   while
opening or closing a book.
Or to introduce the word "stomachache", I hug belly, bending down with
shriveled face.
Thus, students will not only quickly memorize new words but also know
how to recognize the status of others and how to express their status.
For difficult words or phrases, I can prepare visual gadget, I use pictures or
using the projector, so that students can directly observe the image, thereby the
remembering of new words  is easier.In the process of teaching vocabulary, I also
emphasize   the   correct   pronunciation   from   using   the   media   as robot
teacher support, tape, disk.... with the hope my students can speak English like a

native speaker .
4.3. Teaching vocabulary through the use of language learning:
- Use definition, description:  Sometimes, to avoid repeating, I change the
way   of   teaching   and   learning   by   giving   definitions,   descriptions   and   students
predict the meaning of words..
For example: I give students the concept of "the thing which, when you look
at, you will see your own image", they immediately shouted, "Cai guong" with a
very excited voice, then I give children the word "miror".
- Use synonyms, antonyms:
For   example,   when   teaching   the   word "small", I   put   the   antonyms   of
it "big" –   or   with   the   teaching   of "large", I   made  it   a   synonym   of "big". The
children very quickly figure out the meaning of words that I want to teach.
- Guess the meaning of words through context:
For example: I give students a situation: This morning your mother was very
busy, she couldn’t take you to school, so you must walk. On the way to school, you
picked flowers, chased butterflies...Suddenly, you looked back the clock, only a few
8


minutes, the school gate vill be closed,, how do you come to school on time so
fast?
Students did not hesitate to answer: “Em chay!”
I give the word: “run”.
As such, students will know the meaning of the words and will remember
the new words in an active way.
- Translate the words into the native language: (5)
For the abstract noun, I always put Vietnamese meaning to avoid wasting
time and help Ss to understand  more easier.
Normally, in a lesson, there will always be some new words. But each words
will have a different way of teaching. Therefore, the selection of teaching method.

is an important task for teachers. 
4.4. Teaching vocabulary through practical training
In the process of teaching vocabulary I often organize activities to practice
and reinforce training words temperate through listening, speaking, reading and
writing  to  increase  fluency  when students   use  words. These  activities  will   help
students focus on the identification and proficient use of the learned words in each
context.
Along with that, I myself always focused on the role of students in teaching
and learning vocabulary. I always encourage them to participate  actively in the
learning process through a long and continuous.
4.5. Teaching vocabulary through the use of dictionary
In addition to the above methods and guides I also encourage students to use
the dictionary especially visual dictionary or the glossary in their textbooks becase
dictionary     is   an   effective   means   for   learning   vocabulary. The   guide   of     use
dictionary will help students to improve their ability to learn themselves and help
teachers teach vocabulary more efficient.
4.6. Teaching vocabulary through games (1) + (2)
In the process of teaching, I found stimulating interest of students’ learning
is not difficult, but how make them inculcated knowledge is not simple at all. At
this age, children are eager to explore, to discover, but very soon forget. 
Therefore, I am always aware how to the class are always fresh and vivid, th
classroom atmosphere is always fun. In my opinion, the classes take place gently in
order   to   create   comfortable   psychologie   for   children,   from   there,   they   will
memorize easily vocabulary and knowledge.
I   regularly   change   the   activities   in   class   by   organizing   games   for   the
children. These activities are integrated into the process of transmitting knowledge
that they are not getting cornered knowledge, passively from the teacher, they will
always feel the real lesson funky, lively, attractive and always look forward to
English periods. 
Here are some tricks I use the games summed up in my process of teaching

with the aim of helping students increase and memorize English vocabulary in the
9


most natural way. I often have students play games in the Warm-up, Free-Practice,
after finishing teaching new word.
4.7. Slap the board: (2) + (5)

- Group write more correct words and phrases wins.
*Teaching vocabulary through helping students study and review at home
1. Learning vocabulary:
- After each lesson, I asked students to memorize new words and practice writing,
they must write every word two to three lines. The purpose of this is to help the
children remember new word and work out the handwriting.
- I ask them to review words after each lesson. They should study regularly, every
day one or two new words while reviewing some of the old. 
14


-   Each student should equip themselves with a child board to write the word, a
word can be written and read many times, so they can remember more easily.
- Students can also learn from by singing songs or rereading the poems learnt in
class.
 
For example:The children will easily remember the vocabulary of the theme
“the environment” from the song "Three Rs" in Unit 11 - English 6
Three Rs
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Recycle, recycle
. Reduce, reuse, recycle
It’s so so simple
Just reduce the noice
And reuse old bottles
Recycle broken glass
It’s so so simple
2. Review vocabulary:

All   of   my   students   live   in   the   countryside,   their   families   almost   no
conditions   to   buy   magnetic   card,   letters.....   for   them,   so   I   instruct   them   some
differents ways to learn new words. 
Firstly, students can make cards at home. On one side of the card, they write
English word, on the other side, they draw image corresponds to the meaning of
the word. They carry easily these cards and they can learn vocabulary anytime and
anywhere.
Secondly, they can make a list and put into it the meanings of new words in
mother tongue, and try to learn them by heart or they can write one or two example
sentences with each new words in order to remember how to use word in the right
way.
Thirdly, in oder to remember words better, students can write each word and
its use on a small piece of paper and stick it   somewhere in their house so as to
learn it at anytime.
       However, many students do not try to learn all new words they come across.
So, I give them another way, they can underline or highlight only the words they
want to learn. This helps them remember important words.
          There are also   diffirent  ways  of  learning  the same number  of  words.   For
example, if students try to learn ten words in two days, they can do so in two ways.
They can learn the first five words the first day, and then learn the other five words
the next day. However, because revision is necessary, they can learn all the ten
words the first day and revise them the next day. This helps them practise the
words more times.
I have students try different ways of learning words so as to find out the best
way for themselves.
PART III: CONCLUSION
I. The results of research
15

After a period application of this method, in addition to instructions on how
to read and learn vocabulary, I always encourate, motivate students, I help them to
learn English actively. They learn English vey hard, their result have significantly
increased, most of them were exciting, boldly engage in learning activities in the
classroom. From feeling not to speak, afraid to read, afraid to speak, afraid to learn
vocabulary, they have been more responsive to the language, love to read, love to
speak to the class, most of them are looking forward to giving opinions for the
lessons, even while looking forward to the  teacher check vocabulay of the privious
lesson. The attitude of the children are excited every time and many of them had
progressed clarity.
After a year, at the end of April  2015 - 2016 school year, I continued taking
the survey  posts investigated   included excercises  like the survey  article for the
Academic year 2016-2017.              
And the results are as follows:

              Reconciliation between Table 1 with table 2, I see quality has increased
significantly, the number of weak  students reduce, the number of strong students
increase,  learning attitude of the children is very good. The English classes are
very   fun.   Many   students   not   only   read   aloud,   clearly   but   also   have   very   nice
reading voice.
II. Suggestions:
1. For teachers:
-   Apply   flexibly   teaching   methods,   use   thorough   teaching   aids,   apply
actively information technology in teaching and learning English.
- Consult with the School Menagement to built more facilities, buy more
equipment and reference material for the teaching and learning English.
2. For the School: 
The school strive for achieving the National Standard School, the school
should consult with local leaders to built foreign language classrooms.
3. For the Department of Education and Training: 
Need   more   regularly   organize   professional   training   courses,   seminars
exclusively for English teachers across secondary province, the district so that we
can exchange experiences and learn from each other for the purpose of enhancing
teaching results.
There  are some my personal ideas above. I hope that through this article I
can contribute a bit of experience in innovating teaching methods and learning
English   at   secondary   schools. My   experience   initiative   must   also   many   short16

comings,   so   I’m   looking   forward   to   getting   the   opinions   from   the   Scientific
Council and the collagues. From there, I will be adding valuable experieces in
teaching process in order to improve the quality of education.
I sincerely thank you!
