(SKKN HAY NHẤT) using some techniques to help the 10th grade students at ham rong hhigh school

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 RATIONALE

In recent years, Vietnam has made reforms in many areas including education.

One of the fundamental challenges of the current Ministry of Education and Training is

to innovate teaching and learning methods to meet the requirements of industrialization

and modernization. English is a subject that has been being innovated at the forefront of

high schools. The Ministry of Education and Training has developed a plan to change

(improve) the quality of foreign language teaching and learning across the country. It

can be seen that English in particular and foreign languages in general are the focus of

interest and strong development. In the context of international integration, teaching

and learning English has received a lot of attention from the whole society.

In order to innovate and improve the quality of learning foreign languages, many

synchronous solutions need to be made, first of all, teaching and learning methods must

be renewed. English is currently being taught in a communication-oriented and learner￾centered approach. To be able to communicate in English, students must use two skills

of listening and speaking well. So what must teachers and students do to achieve this

goal? This requires many factors, in which it is quite important to help students master

word stress in English. The correct pronunciation of English word stress will help

communicate in English more smoothly, avoiding misunderstandings in

communication.

research, some changes and improvements could be applied in the author’s lessons, and

some appropriate strategies needed to be designed with the hope that students will work

more effectively in the phonetic lessons. Hopefully that the results of this study would

be shared with any colleagues who had the same problem or anyone who is interested in

this study.
