Introductory

Today in the trend of international economic integration English become a very
important means that we cannot ignore. According to the forecast of analysts, at the end
of this decade 1/3 of the world population will participate in learning English. This
English learning need regional and global shows that the communication demand by
english is more and more increasing to the economic and social development in national
reach as well as for individuals in society.
Can say that if we consider learning English as building, the vocabulary learning is
laying foundations of the house. have a solid foundation, the house can be built up.
English vocabulary learning, too. The vocabulary of the students are rich, vivid and
abundant, they can easily practice and develop the language skills: listening, speaking,
reading and writing in the specific situations. The foundation of the secondary school
level is 6th graders. Therefore, they need building a solid "foundation" vocabulary in
order to "build" the house of knowledge of the following grades.
In recent years, the innovation teaching methods has brought into play many
strength points, helps students to work more actively and positively in occupying
knowledge. However, with particular difficulties in rural areas in the conditions of
economic, cultural information exchanges updatedly, a student at my school acquired
English necessary vocabulary was hard ,so as to memorize and deeply understand and
apply it flexibly in communication situations is more difficult. Recite the Vietnamese
meaning of the English word. That led to a situation they would just memorize
vocabulary immediately, do not understand how to use and the type of words so after a
certain period of time, their vocabulary decreasing. Increasingly, English will become
fear for each student.
As a secondary school English teacher, through practical teaching for many years, I
am very anxious, think and creatively explore "A number of measures to help students in
grades 6 to memorize vocabulary efficiency", in order contribute to overcoming these

After a few test about the vocabulary has been learned show that the level of student's
remembering vocabulary is very limited. Most of them only remember recently learned
words, the words before, they either do not remember anymore, or do not remember
exactly.
In this grade students should have a certain vocabulary knowledge to do the
groundwork for the next study levels. But only with the innovation in teaching methods
and textbook content knowledge of teachers is not enough. They need guiding specific,
appropriate and effective measures to obtain the necessary knowledge for themselves.

Performance measures.

To learn vocabulary effectively depends largely on the preparation of students and
teachers, contributing to the first impression for those words. Depending on the
characteristics of each class. Each subject, content and knowledge capacity of lessons that
teachers can choose to teach the most appropriate words for each lesson.
Preparing vocabulary:
For teachers:
Whenever introducing any new words that, to impress and attract the attention of
students, the teachers need to invest time searching for documents, images related to the
topic, while constantly updated information to support daily lectures.
Regularly make simple, visual teaching aids to inspire in the lesson.
Prepare carefully, detailedly before class.
Select words appropriately for teaching.

After they have been acquiring new language through each lesson, students have
been practiced a lot with that vocabulary in class through each specific context. But to
remember these words it depends so much on time in the student's home school. Most
of them spend time learning vocabulary at home. But not all children have also been
learning how to save time most effectively.
2.1. Write new words learned many times.
Beginning of the school year, teachers request each student to prepare the
necessary books, especially they need to have an English draft notebook and a
notebook to store other words. In English class, students are often introduced 5-8
words. On that day the children need to spend time memorizing the words right. If they
learn within that day, only about 5-10 minutes that they remember words. If the more
they leave to the next session, the harder they work and the more forgettable.
Way of learning: Write the English vocabulary on the page vertically. Write type
of words and meaning of the word Vietnamese side. Please read through few turns and
then if there are any letters that form this English words . Use a thick cardboard cover
entire the English words section ; from Vietnamese words meaning to write English.
After writing out a turn of the English word, to cover the English and Vietnamese
words part before, only the English just finished writing. From the English there, write
its Vietnamese meaning. So on until memorize all that Vietnamese meaning, type and
writing of the English word.

- Students can learn the words on any time, anywhere.
- In addition to the Vietnamese meaning, English writing, students can understand the
use of the word through a few examples with realistic context for life.
- For some words show things around family life, students can paste their piece of
paper to the side of things there. Thus, when exposed to that things children also recall
the English word.
2.3. Learning words with diagrams.
After memorizing the vocabulary of a topic, students should arrange words
systematically in a notebook. This means that all words have a relationship with each
other in terms of the semantics needs to be sorted into groups according to a certain topic.
In this way, when referring to a certain words of the words system which were saved then
they may remember words that are related. There are many ways to organize and students
can also themselves create a more convenient way based on the following:
2.3.1. A tree diagram – Biểu đồ hình cây.

S

- Through the word tables, students can form thinking about a certain topic. They
will have no difficulty in writing assignments such as: Write a paragraph describing the
home, school, his family ....
- The topic, the point is compiled in textbooks in the grade were compiled block
style spiral. When store new words in this way, they will be easy to add the word in
same subject in the higher education sector, very handy for apply vocabulary in
activities skills, especially in speaking and writing.
- When you remember one word of the system from above, they also easy to think
of other words related. Therefore, remembering word are deeper and richer.

the teacher should
12

particular to bring out the spirit, responsibility, conscience and enthusiasm about work to
assist and equip students with the knowledge to build, train them to become good citizens
of the country, promote the capacity of their creative thinking, to meet the goals and
requirements of today's education in the spirit of the movement, each teacher is a shining
example of self-learning, self-practising and creativity.
Innovation in program content, teaching English to suit current trends in the world

expansion, more enriching for students, I have drawn the experience, measures of
13


Mét sè biÖn ph¸p gióp häc sinh líp 6 häc thuéc tõ vông TiÕng Anh hiÖu qu¶
vocabulary learning is effective for them. These are practical measures, consistent with
the cognitive characteristics of students, consistent with the educational goals of the new
era. They can apply their knowledge in everyday life. This is a practical method to
improve the overall quality of learning for pupils.
D.RECOMMENDATIONS, PROPOSALS
To improve the quality of teaching English efficiently : Schools need interest and
meet the demand for facilities such as classrooms functions, connect to the Internet so
that students can access to different channels of learning; school library should add
reference books and short stories in English.
For the students, should actively participate in self-studing at home with the
orientation and regular testing of teachers, combine with parents in order to promote the
best performance for measures . Because of the subject of receiving knowledge, after all,
is the objects of students.
Above is my own effort has drawn some small experience to use in teaching.
Certainly some shortcomingsis are inevitable . We wish receive the comments of leaders
and colleagues so that the topics can be completed soon and more feasible.
I sincerely thank!
