1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. The reason of selecting the topic

In the trend of globalization today, the importance of English cannot be

denied and ignored because it is widely used everywhere in the world. Along

with the development of technology, medicine, engineering and education,

English plays a very important role. It has been used for the Final Examinations

to evaluate students’ level of knowledge. Therefore, it is neccesary to have

teaching and learning English methods and techniques.

In the initial stages of learning a language, vocabulary plays a primary

role in acquisition and communication. Vocabulary is a core component of

language proficiency and provides much of the basic for how well learners

speak, listen, read and write. Vocabulary acquisition is increasingly viewed as

crucial to language acquisition. Yet, learning vocabulary is often perceived as a

tedious and laborious process. Therefore, many methods helping language

learners to improve and learn vocabulary have been given such as listening to

foreign music, watching foreign cartoons or films with subtitles, reading books,

newspapers, and playing games. Using games for learning and teaching

vocabulary has been applied in many countries in the world; however, not many

Vietnamese language teachers as well as learners employ the effectiveness of the

kind of methodology for vocabulary teaching and learning.

In reality, in Viet Nam vocabulary has not been considered as a major

subject which should be taught separately and officially instead of teaching

together with lessons of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Besides,

vocabulary lessons were not paid enough attention in order to help students learn

new words more interestedly and effectively. As a result, though Vietnamese

students realize the importance of vocabulary, most of them have formed a habit

of only learning new words found in their text books or through teacher’s giving

or explanation. Moreover, most Vietnamese students normally learn vocabulary

by such methods as listing new words on a notebook and learning them by heart,

writing new words repeatedly down on papers, reading new words out loud

several times, and so forth. These above seem not to be very effective and

interesting ways for acquisition. So the teacher must do what the vocabulary is

no longer the "hardship" of the student, standing in front of the porters that

prompted me to do the subject: "Using games in teaching vocabulary".

According to this research, I myself will get experiences to improve skills and

teaching methods.
