A. INTRODUCTION
	I. REASON FOR CHOOSING THE RESEARCH
It is undeniable that English is an international language. English is considered as the medium of communication in many different fields such as: science, technology, aviation, international sport, diplomacy, and so on. English is also the official language of many international organizations, such as: ASEAN, WTO, WHO, UN, etc. With the spread of globalization and the rapid expansion of informational and technologies, there has been an explosion in the demand for English worldwide.
 Thanks to the innovation of ways in teaching English, English lessons are taught with four skills (speaking, reading, listening, writing) in one unit. Moreover, there exists three stages – Pre - while – post - teaching in one lesson. This really helps students improve their skills beside the grammar exercises to pass the exams. 
 In the process of fact teaching at Hau Loc 2 Upper Secondary School, fact teaching in classes , I find that most teachers have been strongly influenced by the traditional methods. Emphasis has been placed on the mastery of language structures rather than on how language is used. Teachers as well as students are used to concentrating on grammatical items. Some of them even ignore teaching speaking skill and focus only on grammar exercises for the exams. As a result, this leads to the problem. their English is not good enough to use in real communicating situations. So, through the process of teaching and applying active teaching methods in the speaking lessons. I found that students’speaking ability was improved .They didn’t feel difficult to express their opinions in English. they were confident in the knowledge and especially , they were also confident to present a problem in front of the class ,they use their own language in order to carry out the communication independently and confidently, So I choose this theme with the aim to exchange some experiences of myself in the process of teaching “ Speaking lesson” English 10 (basic). I am very glad to receive the sharing and contributing ideas of colleagues so that I can perfect in the process of applying and teaching facts.

B. SOLVING PROBLEMS
	I.THEORY BASIC:
 In recent decades, English has been more and more important in Vietnam. The importance of English is not only in how many people speak it but also in what it is used for. Beside the native language is popularly used in all fields of the society, English is now widely known as the major language of intercommunication, international commerce and business, science and technology and so on. Thus, people with good English proficiency are extremely needed in any fields of society. As a result, there has been a positive trend of teaching and learning English across the country. People, from children to adults, learn English with different purposes. Children learn English because of the requirement of their parents and school. Students learn English to pass the exams, to study abroad or to find a good job in the future. Adults learn English in order to be able to communicate with foreigners or do business. In general, despite deriving from different purposes, everyone wants to turn English to become their own instrument in their lives. 
 After every speaking lesson, the students have to be able to communicate successfully in social situations such as talking about life or career. They have to take part in discussion, negotiation or explanation of social issues, agree or disagree with others’ opinions, .... They have to gain confidence in communicating successfully, using communicative strategies to express their ideas, and feelings appropriately and fluently. 	
	II. THE FACT OF STUDY PROBLEM.
	1. The fact of teaching and learning problem at Upper Secondary Schools.
We are living in the global world in which English language has rapidly become an international language. To meet this requirement, English has been taught almost everywhere in Vietnam, especially in schools, colleges, universities, English is a compulsory subject.
However, how to speak English well is a problem for many learners of English, especially for the students of upper secondary schools. Despite the fact that most of the students have been learning English since they were at lower secondary or high school, they are deficient in English speaking.
As a teacher of high school, from our observation and our own teaching experience, we see that during the speaking lesson classroom interaction is restricted. Only some students get involved in the activities conducted by the teacher while others keep silence or do other things. Thus, one of the challenges to the teacher is to find out the answer to the question “Why don’t many students of English get involved actively in speaking lesson?”
To find the answer to this question it is necessary to investigate what motivates and de-motivates students in English learning in general and in speaking in particular. And the teachers ask their students to be willing to speak. They speak a lot and understand what other people speak, they can reach the aims of learning foreign language.
	2. The fact problem of learning foreign language at Hau Loc 2 Upper Secondary School.
	Hau Loc 2 Upper Secondary School is located in Van Loc commune, Hau Loc. The economic condition is not good and the social learning is also not good so teaching and learning of teachers and students are having many difficulties. The approaching with books, newspapers and modern communication media is limited . Otherwise, the class is crowded . level is uneven. Most students are in the status “losing basic knowledge” of Primary and Lower Secondary School’s knowledge. Besides, they consider English a difficult subject, so they are worried of learning. In the English period , the students are not confident in communicating because they are worried of speaking wrong or pronouncing not very exactly, so the application of communication practice method in teaching is very difficult.
	III. SOLUTIONS
	1. Methods to carry out.
Some active teaching methods in speaking lessons, English 10 ( basic).
	1.1. Brainstorming.
	It is suggestion method for students to contribute general ideas for speaking lesson. The teacher lets students work in pairs/ teams or the whole class, they discuss and list ideas, after that they contribute with the whole class.
	1.2. Controlled speaking.
	It is a required speaking method and uses the things or given vocabulary and structures.
	The teacher let students work in pairs / groups to save time and practise speaking the most.
	1.3. Two-tier task.
	This method is used for group students who have unequal levels. Sometimes it is due to unequal levels, the time for group students complete of the requirement of practice is uneven. So the teachers use this method to supply further requirement for better student s. For example, after finishing speaking , they write in brief or find out causes , they are statistic quantity,compare
	1.4. Flash method
	It is the method with the aim to mobilize the students’ involvement about any theme, or to get reactive information or to improve communication status and the learning atmosphere in class, through the things that the members in the class give quickly ideas about a theme or mission of the lesson.
	1.5. Free practice.
	In this stage, the teachers only give general requirement, don’t limit ideas as well as language, they let students speak freely . The students speak about their own experiences , friends , relatives or about hometown they live. In this stage , students still work in pairs/ teams.
	2. The solutions to carry out.
	In this part , I give some examples about applying above methods in the process of some speaking lessons basic English:
 Unit 1: A day in the life of
 Lesson: Speaking
Aims: Helps students to master the words related to daily routine , talk about one’s daily routine and express their ideas about daily activities.
Warm up: In this part , I use “brainstorming” to lead students into the lesson.The teacher gives some pictures with some phrases related to the theme 
such as : Having breakfast, Going to school and Playing football.
 Having breakfast
 Going to school 
Going to bed
 	 Students can discuss and speak easily and give some other phrases such as:
	Having lunch 
	 Playing football
	Doing the homeworks
	Through the activities , students can know the aim of the lesson.
	Task 1: Quan is a tenth-grade student. He goes to school every morning. Ask and answer questions with a partner, using the information from the timetable.
 In this task , I use “ controlled speaking” method . I ask students to work in pairs to ask and answer the questions : one student asks and another answers ,then change the role. The teacher moves around the classroom to give help and jot down students’mistakes in pronunciation and grammar for later correction.
	After that , the teacher calls on some pairs to act out the dialogues:
Questions:	 1. What time does Quan have a Civic education/ Literature/ History or Maths ..lesson on Monday/ Tuesday/ Wednesday.?
	2. What lesson does Quan have at 7:15 am/ 8:05am / 8:55a.m on Monday/ Tuesday/ Wednesday.?
	3. What date does Quan have two Literature / Maths lessons?
	4. Does he have an English lesson on Thursday?
	..
Answers: 	1. He has a lesson at..
	2. Aton he has a 
	3. On he has two Literature / Maths lessons.
	Task 2: Talk about Quan’s activities.
	In this task I use “two-tier task” . With weak and average students , I ask them to ask and answer ( with other partner) , using questions such as: What is Quan doing in picture a/ picture b/ picture c.? Is he playing football? What does Quan do at 2 p.m....... ? With better students, I arrange them to work in groups of four or five and act as if they were members in Quan’s family ( the father, the mother, the younger sister, the younger brother, and Quan ..) . Each person in Quan’s family says about their daily routine.
	When I use this method , I find that all students can speak very well . I call one group to present in front of the class.	Suggested ideas:
I am Quan, every afternoon I get up at 14:00. Then I study for about two hours. I watch TV at 16:30 . At 17:00 I ride to the stadium to play football with other boys in the neighborhood. 
 I’m Le Van Son. I’m Quan’s father , I work as a doctor in a big hospital everyday I go to work at 7 a.m 
As a mother, ..
..
	Task 3: Tell your classmates about your daily routine.
	In this task , I use method “ free speaking” . The teacher asks students to practise speaking about their daily routine, based on the sentences in task 2. Students in turns talk about their daily routine. 
Example: I usually get up at 6a.m and then I brush my teeth 
	 In the afternoon, I often go to the library with my classmates.
	..
 Unit 4: Special Education
 Lesson B: Speaking
	Aim: Help students to master the words related to school, to talk about school life a student.
Warm-up: In this part , Teacher can use “brainstorming method” to lead students into the lesson.
	Teacher shows schools’ pictures and ask students to match the words 
with their names:
1. Physical education lesson
 2. Mid – term test
3. English lesson
4. Break
 	Thanks to the activities , students can know the aim of the lesson about school.
	Task 1: Work with a partner. Fill in the blanks with the right questions.
	Teacher asks students to read the requirement of the task. In this task, I use “ controlled speaking method” so that students can ask and answer fluently about the school life based on page 47 (textbook).
	Example: S1: Which lower – secondary school did you go to?
	 S2: I went to Long Bien lower- secondary school in Gia Lam, Hanoi.
	 S1: What was your timetable?
	 S2: Well, I went to school in the morning and I often had five classes.
	.
	Task 3: Tell the whole class what you know about your partner.
 	For the requirement of the task , I can choose some methods such as controlled speaking, two-tier task, flash method , free speaking.
 	 In this part , I use “ flash method” to motivate students as well as to insure time.
 	 After students find out the task’s requirement and prepare in three minutes , the teacher can ask some students to report their results the class , With weak and average students , they can use simple sentences as in task 1. 
	Example: 
 Lan went to Loc Son Lower- secondary School in Hau Loc, Thanh hoa
 Her subjects were Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Biology, History,. 
 She went to school in the morning and she often had five classes
 .
 With better students, I arrange them to work in groups of four or five and ask them to discuss more difficult questions and then call a student from each group to report their group’s result.
Questions: 1. How did you feel about your school?/ Did you like it or not?
 2. What subject(s) did you like best? And why?
 3. What things did you like and what things didn’t you like?
 (uniform ?/ subjects? / homework?/ the breaks?/ teachers? /punishment?...)
 4. What changes would you like to make?
	Answers: Nam liked everything in his school, his teachers, his friends and the different activities at school but if he could change one thing, it would be the breaks between the classes. They were too short
 I always move around and help if necessary, jot down some pronunciation mistakes for later correction. I find students can speak very well. 	
 Unit 13: Films and cinema
	Lesson B : Speaking
Aim: Help students to master the words related to the film, to express their opinion about a film, using attitudinal adjectives and tell what kinds of film they like and dislike.
Warm-up: In this lesson , I use some pictures about films and ask students to answer the question “ What are the kinds of these films?” (free practice). 
1. Science fiction film
2. Cartoon film
3. Action film
Through asking and answering the questions related to the theme of the lesson , the atmosphere of the class will be exciting and lead students to the lesson easily.
	Task 1: 
	In this task , I use “ controlled speaking” method . I ask students to work in pairs to ask and answer the questions : one student asks and another answers ,then change the role. I also ask pairs to replace underlined words with other kinds of films. 
Question: How much do you like science fiction film?
Answer: Very much / not very much / not at all.
 With this method , I find that average students have more opportunities to practice speaking and the class is exciting.
	Task 2: Find out what your friends feel about each kind of film.
	For the requirement of the task , I can choose some methods such as controlled speaking, two-tier task, flash method , free speaking.
 In this part , I use “ flash method” to motivate students as well as to insure time.
	After students find out the task’s requirement, I ask some students to list some adjectives that students can use to talk about the films, especially pay attention to adjectives ending in -ing.
 interesting / moving / good fun / violent / boring / exciting/ terrifying..
 The teacher sticks the handout with the model prepared at home on the board:
Example: A: What do you think of .? 
 B: Oh, I find them really ... 
 C: I don’t quite agree with you. I find them very .
 The teacher asks students to work in group of 3 in five minutes with both the good and the bad in a group to support each other. base on the model to practise. 
 I always move around the class to control and give help if necessary and then calling some groups to act out the conversations. With this method , I find that students are excited about speaking and the class is exciting.
	Task 3: Personalization.
	For me, in this task , I use “ two-tier task” and “ free speaking method”.
With weak and average students , I ask them to ask and answer ( with other partner) , using questions suggested below. 
Question: 1. Where did you see it? 
 2. What kind of film is it? 
 3. What is it about? 
 4. Who is / are the main character(s)? 
 5. How do you feel about it? 
 6. Why do you prefer it to other films?
Answers: 1. I saw it .. 
 2. It is 
 3. It is about  
 For better students , I put students to work in groups of four or five . I require them to talk much more ,depending on their opinion and understanding.
	I always move around and help if necessary. I find students can speak very well. Of course, I will correct mistakes if students make.
THE STUDY RESULTS OF PROBLEMS.
Using some active teaching methods in speaking lesson textbook 10 really
have its effects because the students are active, enthusiastic, excited to learn. By using this method, the students who are always afraid, shy, lazy now are active in learning , makes the speaking period more and more exciting. In the school years of 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 I carried out my theme in 10 grades at Hau Loc 2 Upper Secondary School , the general results of students when they do the English tests are following:
 Kind

	C. CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSALS
	This is suitable theme for teaching and learning of teachers and students. This theme can apply to all students but if it is applied to good students , the effect is better. Learning English , communication atmosphere is very important. If the students can approach the facts, always use what they learn , their communication and knowledge are more and more stable.
So, my theme can have good results and can be carried out widely and deeply for students. I have some opinions to put forward:
	Lesson learned:
I always close to the students so that I can discover their abilities.
I need to divive subgroup in a group of students with weaker students, average students, good ones.
I need to control the maximum time for a lesson.
 From reality itself, through theoretical study and learn from colleagues ,
 	I have some experience in teaching method " The organization for method students practises in pairs and groups effectively 
 	 In this theme there are defects, these are the issues that I concern much. From the fact that I draw the lessons and experiences in order to have the best method in teaching English.
 	 They are some my above experiences through process of teaching in the last school year 2016-2017 . However, due to limit of documents and time, there will be some shortcomings . I look forward to receiving sincere advices from leaders and collogues
 	Some proposals:
	For school managers, it is necessary to invest more cons
