1. INTRODUCTION
Reasons for choosing the study:
In recent years the Ministry of Education and Training gave us 7 yeartextbooks on English subjects performed synchronously at secondary schools all
over the country, to meet the needs of today's new realities. Each unit of study was
compiled under five basic parts: Part A: Reading; Part B: Speaking; Part C:
Listening; Part D: Writing; Section E: Language focus.
Through the teaching process, we may find out that in the practice sessions
of design skills training activities are relatively reasonable, clearly help both
teachers and students can easily grasp its mission through each specific task in the
textbook.
However, over the years of teaching, I found that teaching speaking part at
high school has encountered many difficulties and obstacles. Students participating
in this class is not natural, and passive. This makes lessons become tedious, no
depth. Usually these classes are taught in a perfunctory, students do not
communicate effectively. Thus, the practice of language in communication in a
large part of students is not much.
2017-2018 school year, I myself have tried to learn, to explore ways to more
effectively to teach speaking skill. How to create training activities share
knowledge speaking skills classes become simple, practical, easy to remember high
communicative is what I always concern and think. Therefore, initiatives in this
study I want to share with colleagues:

students, is the most difficult when communicating with foreigners. Because
communication is a good condition to stimulate learners to use foreign languages
effectively. However, this speaking skill is sometimes forgotten because we only
assess language through knowledge, not knowledge, measured by the ability to use
the language. So we have to pay a great deal of attention to this skill to equip
students with the ability to communicate confidently and fluently. In order to do
this, the instructor needs to organize a compelling learning environment to engage
more students. There are so new students confident enough, more courageous to
communicate a certain language later.
2.2. Current status of the problem before applying the study
Through the lessons, I found that most of the students are passive, not really
interested in learning. This is because the majority of students lack vocabulary, lack
of confidence, and the subject matter in textbooks is dry and unsuitable for
students.
When the teacher asks the children to work in groups, they just sit and stand up to
talk and push you to the best of the group. Therefore, they do not develop the
capacity of students nor create confidence in speaking English to them. And very
few students are interested in learning to speak.
Specifically, at the beginning of the school year, I distributed a questionnaire about
the joy when learning the speaking skills of the students in the 2 classes I taught as
10A1 and 10A2 as follows:
Like very much

Like

Dislike

And this is the result:
Class


encourage the I'm more confident, more self-confident and more active while
learning.
To do this is a great effort of teachers and pupils.
2.2.1. Prepare
Every plan we put out has to have goals and plans as clear and detailed as
we can achieve. So therefore:
- We have to know how to prepare and arrange the topic to suit the capacity and
level of the students.
- Organized classes in teams, groups.
Knowledge must be prepared so that students can speak and reflect in
situations.
- How to stimulate students to perform speaking practice from the beginning of
class until the end of class.
+ Students must prepare well vocabulary at home before class.
2.2.2. Reorganize the class
- Classroom teachers work in pairs, groups, teams to suit each activity.
- Bonus points if individuals, pairs or groups do well to encourage them, creating
excitement while learning.
2.3. Some measures of organization
2.3.1. Preparing and arranging the speaking topics : Do not stick to the
same activities as textbook topics because they will make students rigid and dry,
unable to fully explore and count. Creativity in student communication. Because of
the easy situation they do not speak, how to say difficult situations. Therefore we
should guide the students to follow the topics in the textbook then do it themselves
or in the same group to carry out the topics on the dialogue, self-comment ... in
accordance with their ability, then Repeat at class (maybe each child, each group
doing many different things).
By doing this, I realized that they were thinking, exploring and saying everything
they need to say. They are also very excited in the syllabus, expecting to have a


the classroom because of the "noisy in control" will make the classroom become
more exciting. Since after we finished asking the students to return to their seats or
sit down, they followed the "inertia" order. Then we can evaluate the comments and
suggestions for the speaking activities we have set out.
Therefore, during the speaking process, we recommend that students:
- Always speak slowly
Because most students believe that speaking English faster will be more
like native speakers because most English learners find it difficult to grasp
information when the native speakers speak because they speak quite fast.
However, the "say as fast as possible" view is completely wrong. Encourage them
to try to speak slowly and accurately. If the students slow down, their tone and
accent will become lighter, whereas their vocal tone will be heavier and more
difficult to understand, which is understandable because they will not. There is
6


enough time to form the correct phoneme and intonation. Take control of the
speaking speed as appropriate as the basic principle to achieve what you want.
- Speak loudly enough
This is an important factor in communication. Because whether you talk to
a person, 10 people or a hundred, you need to talk loud enough so all of the people
who are present can listen to you easily. If you talk too small, what will happen?
Practice speaking with a suitable volume will give you more confidence and can
adjust your volume to suit different spaces and circumstances. It is best to spend 15
to 20 minutes each day practicing English pronunciation by reading aloud words,
sentences, paragraphs in English. If students practice regularly every day for 3
months, then your muscles develop appropriately for speaking a new language. It is
possible to record your voice and hear the words you pronounce wrong. People
often hate to hear their own voice and tend to avoid hearing their voices. However,
this is a pretty important practice because in this way you can recognize the
