1. The reason for choosing the subject:
Nowadays, in the integration period and with the globalization trend, foreign
languages, especially English, play a very important role in society. English
becomes an international language. It is used in many fields such as business,
trade, communications, tourism and diplomatic activities, etc... . More than fifty
countries in the world use English as their official language and it is used as the
second language in nearly eighty nations. Therefore, English is an ology which
is never saturated due to its newness and popularity in all fields. Our Party and
government showed their particular interest in teaching and learning foreign
languages.
English is considered as a main subject at upper secondary school.
Teaching English with the communicative approach is our aim. How to improve
all skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) completely for our students is
our duty. All skills are important and it is necessary for us to develop them.
Curriculum and textbooks are issued with a view to carrying out this aim
successfully. However, writing skill seems to be one of the most difficult skills
for students. Most writing tasks, for example describing charts, are not
interesting enough to attract them. They do not even know how to deal with
these tasks. Their writings are only simple descriptions without comparisons.
“What can I do to help my students?” “In what way do my students describe
them well?” “What should I do to make these writing tasks easier and more
attractive?” The best way I did to assist them is that I used the eliciting questions
combined with games to guide them.
I would like to share my teaching experience “Improving students’ ability to
describe charts in Tieng Anh 11 through question systems combined with
games” in the hope that my colleagues can apply in teaching and we can discuss
more to get the best result in teaching how to describe charts.
