Because of the requiremental subject, and factual teaching, I made a
plan: “Some methods in improving speaking English skills for
students in grade 6 at Nguyen Van Troi secondary school”. That is
reasons why I choose this topic.
1.2. Aims of research
Now I am teaching English in a secondary school, I usually study
myself actively and innovate the methodolody to teach English in order

the second language all over the world. English plays an important role
in the industrialization, modernization, it is strengthening the World
Trade Organization of our country at present.
The purpose of teaching English is forming and developing students’
personality. Teaching English is to facilitate students in developing their
mind. To establish for students ideas, emotional health and good
qualities, charity, love of humanity.
Teaching English is to teach students how to use English well and
effectively through providing them a system of knowledge, system of
skills which are necessary for their behavior, communication with
everyone.
2.2. The status of the problem before applying innovative experience
According to the innovating methodolody, through teaching English
in my school, I recognize myself that most of students haven’t identified
how to learn foreign language. They have limitations in applying
English in communication. They are afraid of speaking English in
public, they are usually shy of communicating. In addition, they usually
forget the vocabularies they have learnt, particularly, students in grade 6
they forgot the new words in class 6.
For many years, I have implemented the innovating methodolody in
teaching English, the period is becoming more exciting ang more

interesting, some lazy students are intersted in English. But there are still
many students who are bad at English.
While practicing speaking English, They have many difficulties:
They don’t have ideas about the topic the teacher requires. Moreover,
they are afraid of making mistakes and being complained. They are not
self – confident in speaking English in front of their friends.

3. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1. Conclusions
Through research and application topics: “Some methods in improving
speaking English skills for students in grade 6A2 at Nguyen Van Troi
secondary school” I've drawn some experiences following:
To improve the quality of teaching, teachers must have a career
center with enthusiasm, is responsible for more of their teaching, interest
in the subject students and teaching quality, the new method is selected
flexibility towards change new suit their students
Preparing lesson plan, more details. Strengthening product use
available teaching or enriched, practically, effectively.
System knowledge for students with the simple focus, easy to
remember, easy to use. Encourage students to speak English as much as
posible. They speak in English more often in class, in group or study at
home.
3.2.Recommendations:
Over the route gifted children, has made progress and participate in
speech. In addition, it should often help encourage the children are poor
and timely fixes language of children in a gentle, for they are not
complex, shame, fear wrong to be afraid to say or lowbrow.
With great efforts and efforts, with the broken heart blood for
training, I always strive to find and teach new ways to attract students .
These are some exiguous experience that I've done and achieved
spectacular results during the last teaching. I hope my own initiatives
will help the students learn English better and closer to this subject.
I hope to get my colleagues’ contribution to make the initiatives
more perfectly .
