Dạy minh họa Tiếng Anh 4 Global Success. Tiết dạy chuyên đề Introduction of new vocabulary.

Main Ideas / Lesson Goals

• Demonstrate teaching techniques for introducing new vocabulary (and checking understanding) in an English classroom.
• Focus on teaching 8 vocabulary words/phrases from Unit 5 of Tieng Anh for Global Success (as presented in the video).
• Use a multi-method approach to:
  • keep students attentive,
  • ensure correct pronunciation,
  • confirm comprehension—not just imitation.

Methodology / Instructional Techniques (Detailed)

1) Structured Warm-up to Engage Students

• Begin with a welcoming activity to build rapport and prompt simple responses (e.g., asking names, responding “hello,” basic participation cues).
• Use call-and-response counting/sequence commands (e.g., “three, two, one”) to establish classroom routines.

2) Introduce Vocabulary Using Imagery + Repeated Choral Responses

• Use pictures (flashcards/visuals) and have students:
  • count and identify items/pictures,
  • practice action-based vocabulary prompts, such as:
    • ride a bike, play the piano/guitar, swim, roller skate, cook, draw, ride a horse
• Have students repeat each word/phrase multiple times using a “Everyone… [repeat/act]” style.

3) Check Comprehension by Intentionally Making Mistakes

• After vocabulary practice, the teacher purposely misleads or prompts incorrect responses.
• Students correct the teacher’s mistake.
• Purpose: ensure students are actively listening rather than only mimicking.

4) Use Gender-Based Elicitation to Ensure Full Participation

• Divide the classroom by gender:
  • ask boys and girls separately to answer/respond.
• This helps both groups participate and prevents one group from dominating.

5) Ensure Pronunciation Accuracy (Especially Final Consonants)

• Emphasize clear final consonant enunciation during repetition and response.
• The teacher monitors pronunciation while students practice.

6) Transition to Games Using Flashcards and PowerPoint

• Model a smooth flow from:
  • picture illustration → vocabulary word → spelling/word form
• Build short classroom games using:
  • flashcards
  • PowerPoint slides

7) Total Physical Response (TPR)-Style Activities

• Use physical actions to support comprehension and memory.
• Example action patterns:
  • sleep / wake up
  • go to sleep / wake up
• Instructional goal: monitor understanding of previously taught words/phrases through actions.

8) Spelling and Board Elicitation

• After oral/vocabulary practice, prompt students to spell words/phrases.
• Use flashcards as guides.
• If necessary, provide support while students spell at the board.

9) Rock-Paper-Scissors Game to Practice Vocabulary with Partners

• Use a game to create competition first, then partner practice.
• Steps described:
  • Divide the class into two teams initially.
  • Once students understand, form pairs.
  • Students use pocket-sized flashcards to play.
  • The teacher circulates to correct individual mistakes.
• Vocabulary integration:
  • wins/losses require students to respond with target vocabulary/actions (e.g., play the guitar, ride a bike, swim).

10) Further Vocabulary Expansion with Additional Topic Words

• Toward the end, introduce additional descriptive words (as actions/visuals), including:
  • hungry, thirsty, sleepy, beautiful, happy, sad
  • glasses (and who is wearing glasses)
  • long hair / short hair
  • draw (reinforced again)
• Students respond and categorize based on visuals (who has glasses, hair length, emotions).

Key Outcomes Emphasized

• Keep students engaged through varied techniques such as:
  • repetition,
  • visuals,
  • TPR actions,
  • spelling,
  • structured participation.
• Verify comprehension using:
  • intentional errors,
  • gender-based responses,
  • games and partner practice.
• Build a classroom culture where the teacher’s enthusiasm helps students “flourish” in their English journey.
