PART I. INTRODUCTION
I. Reason for choosing the topic
 	In recent years, our country is constantly developing in all aspects: economy, culture, society .... To achieve that, opening up, integrating and exchanging with other countries in the world is an important and strategic policy of the Party and State. The opening, integration and exchanges require each Vietnamese people must know foreign languages, learn foreign languages well.
 Of the seven foreign languages popular in the world, English is the foreign language most used by many countries. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training has introduced English subjects into compulsory teaching at all levels.
 The Ministry of Education and Training has put English subjects into teaching from grade 1 so that students get to know the earliest English language, access to the era of integration. This is a new, daring decision and also cause many anxiety and concern for teachers, parents as well as the whole society because the Grade 1 students just stop at firmly read the Vietnamese alphabet, many stusents who are not fluent in English, can they learn English?
 As an English teacher in primary school, I also wonder. So what to do to help them- the future owners of the country,young shoots if they are planted right now, will be able to bring the country to new heights with the five great powers. How exactly as President Ho Chi Minh taught? From the first days of teaching English to first graders I found that they were very excited about accepting a new language. The innocent eyes of the children listen intently to her, read. They quickly catch up, answer many questions even clumsily. At that time I thought: Should I go in the right direction, right goal. But the next day after asking the children to read, answer questions about the knowledge learned in the last lesson, most children do not. What is the root of the problem? This made me worry a lot. Love of the job, the enthusiasm of youth has inspired me to research and find out some small measures to help them read better and remember longer vocabulary as soon as getting familiar with English.
II. Research purposes
 The research focuses on the use of vocabulary teaching methods for elementary students. On that basis, I introduced some vocabulary measures to help students remember deeply and have basic vocabulary in communication.
Good use of vocabulary teaching techniques in English for elementary school students to:
- Create excitement, passion for learning by students.
- Arouse the desire to participate in student exploration and testing activities.
- Help students take initiative in learning activities.
- Help students to pay attention.
- Create conditions for students to learn while playing.

PART II. CONTENT
I. Basis for argument
The project "Teaching and learning foreign languages ​​in the national education system for the period of 2008 - 2020" was approved by the Prime Minister in September 2008. The objectives of the Scheme 2020 are: comprehensive reform of teaching and learning Foreign languages ​​in the national education system, implementation of new foreign language teaching and learning programs at educational levels and levels, with a view to achieving a remarkable step of 2015 in terms of qualifications and capacity for foreign use. human resources, especially for some priority areas; By 2020, most of Vietnamese youth graduated from secondary schools, colleges and universities have the ability to speak foreign languages ​​independently, confident in communication, learning, working in an integrated environment, multilingual , multiculturalism; Foreign languages ​​become the strength of the Vietnamese people, serving the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country. 
Many teaching methods are offered in the education sector to overcome the constraints the industry is facing. But the issues raised are generally theoretically concentrated and largely concentrated at higher levels. Attention to the teaching method of elementary school is a long-standing issue. It is essential and urgent to teach vocabulary skills to elementary students.
II. Status quo
1. Advantages
- Hoang Phuong Primary School has been recognized as a national standard school level 2 and was enthusiastically supported by the people in the commune to improve the people's knowledge.
- The textbook program has the content of knowledge appropriate to the reality of student life, there are many beautiful pictures to create interesting for students.
- The development of information technology has helped teachers have more resources, images through the Internet.
- Teachers are qualified, enthusiastic and responsible in teaching English.
2. Difficultly
Having taught elementary English for many years, I found that the quality of the course was not high.
Through surveys, surveys and student feedback, I found some of the reasons for this limitation:
2.1. Teaching equipment missing:
With curious nature, eagerness to learn, and the ability to sense the world from vivid visuals to abstract thinking, all students share the same opinion that they like teachers use teaching tools very much during the English teaching hours. Actually teaching at the unit of Hoang Phuong Primary School is a unit of national standard level 2 but the school does not have English teaching room for students. Therefore, the equipment for teaching English is still lacking so the service for teaching is limited. In addition, the purchase of equipment for self-study English in their families is not everyone has.
2.2.Practical English:
The elementary school where I teach is a commune located in the west of Hoang Hoa district. This is mainly a farming career, so students are not practicing what they learned in everyday communication. They do not have the opportunity to meet with foreigners so they can give some formal English greetings. Study and practice English only in the classroom. Therefore, students feel that learning English is compulsory, most of them are not aware of learning English is necessary for life later.
2.3. Limitations on time and game forms:
Elementary school children are still small, moreover, first graders recognize letters that are confusing and lead to limited time for organizing games. Besides, the game forms are not yet abundant. Especially elementary school children, not only grade 1 students love to learn English that is integrated into the game.
2.4. Motivation and sense of learning:
Elementary English is still an elective subject so most parents and students are not aware of the importance of this subject. Some students do not have any learning motivation so they are not comfortable with the idea of ​​learning the subject. This has led to weak students who are afraid of communicating. Ability to absorb slowly, afraid of wrong practice, afraid of the teacher's bad comments. Some students are quite good, they are good at communicating not because of their slow learning ability but because they are psychologically limited, afraid to practice in front of the crowd. At the age when they have just left the school, they just eat and play, so their sense of learning is not high, they are still playful. In addition, they focus less on studying and are lazy to study. is English vocabulary.
The communication of children in the rural sesame is still limited. Accompanying with the change of books, curriculum and teaching and learning methods, I found that the communication constraints of rural students were less communicated in English, so they were less likely to remember. vocabulary. To communicate in English requires students to practice vocabulary skills and have certain vocabulary. For elementary students, the vocabulary and knowledge is not much, but requires them to have a certain amount of vocabulary to participate in some games. Elementary English is an elective course designed to help children get to know each other so that some students and parents do not care so they do not learn the vocabulary and miss the vocabulary. Because of that I chose to study: "Some English vocabulary building measures for elementary school students" in the hope of contributing a small part to improving the quality of learning English for children. primary school student.
III. SOLUTIONS AND HOW TO PROCEEDINGS
In teaching English to help students learn words, remembering words is an indispensable teaching activity in a particular class. Learning words and memorizing words is not just about helping students remember the meaning of a word, but also helping them to hear the words correctly and apply them in English. So, I found ways to help children understand words, use words and remember long ago. 
The measures I have put forth are, in fact, already mentioned in the instructional materials in the English subject. However, how to apply these tricks effectively requires teachers to know how to select and organize them in a flexible way. It may be appropriate for this lesson but not for other lessons. The flexibility of the teacher can allow the student to acquire knowledge by playing games to attract and give them the interest in learning and remember words. Some game tricks will be more convenient and attractive if the teacher has the support of information technology. The selection of game tricks to suit each teaching purpose, each lesson, each means of teaching teaching avoid the boredom in the activity is an important content is mentioned in this topic. I proceed as follows:
Step 1: Preparation before teaching from:
  To teach words and help students to remember for a long time, teachers must prepare the following:
- Prepare a vocabulary lesson to learn or review according to the characteristics of each lesson.
- Choose games and tricks according to each lesson content.
- Preparation of some teaching materials (extra instructional board, brushes, pictures, real objects ...)
- Prepare computer, there is support of information technology application.
- Prepare and arrange classes to organize students with some effective games.
Step 2: Perform the procedure:
  There are many ways to help students remember vocabulary for a long time. However, each lesson has its own characteristics. Depending on the content of the unit, teachers can choose the appropriate way. Teachers can take part in the Warm-up, Free Practice or right after the vocabulary is taught.
Teachers make logical games that create a cheerful and lively classroom atmosphere that helps students have a relaxed mind to remember from the lesson. Games can be made in the form of teams, teams, pairs or individuals. However, in whatever form, the teacher also needs to organize all the students in the class to monitor and comment on them to do the same.
Step 3: Basic steps to teach vocabulary.
1.Some vocabulary tutorials:
1.1. Use illustrations:
- The purpose of this activity is to help students memorize vocabulary better, pictures and pictures with eye-catching colors can be memorized in the long-term memory of the learner.
- When the teacher makes any new words, the students will be completely drawn by the pictures or pictures on the board or on the projector.
Example: When introducing the word "ant", the teacher can present a picture that is related to the word. Then instruct students how to read English.
1.2. Reading by team, group, individual:
Characteristics of elementary school students, especially grade 1 students, are highly appreciated by teachers. Each other is a way to encourage students to read well.
Example: When introducing the word "ball"
Teachers use the real ball to introduce the word "ball", teachers to students to read from the same introduction. It is then possible for each nest to stand up and read from there. Which reads well, read the right nest was praised, the opposite of the small read, misread the other suggestions. Do the same for individuals.
1.3. Color
Color is a way to help children learn while having a good time.
  Example: When introducing the words "dog, cat"
The teacher gives each student a photo of the dog and the cat. Ask the students to color their preference. Then the teacher began to read the words, asking the students to take photos of the word. Praise the beautiful children, encourage the children are bad. Teachers should save some of the most beautiful pictures in the study area to encourage them to try next.
1.4. Beautiful writing contest:
 	 The purpose is to help students memorize vocabulary
Example: Teacher introduces the word "ant, apple". 
After the introduction, the teacher asked the students to take the child table and white chalk wrote the words that the teacher had introduced. The teacher reads the words, the size of the student's words that the teacher just read. Teachers praise the children write properly, beautiful, encouraging the children are not beautiful, not clear.
1.5.Matching : 
 The goal is to help students review words or words with meaning.
- Depending on the purpose of each lesson, teachers can design activities accordingly. Can be used in the word lesson, or in the reinforcement game from ...
- Students can perform in groups, pairs or individuals in this game.
1.6. Jumbled word
The purpose of this game is to help students practice new words and spell words.
Write some words on the board or on A4 paper with unordered letters.
- Ask students to rearrange the letters to form words.
- Students can perform competitions between groups, pairs or individuals.
- Ask students to read the completed words.
1.7. Circle the words
 The purpose of this game is not only help them remember words, meaning of words but also know the word classification.
- Each line is for 3 words (one for the other).
- The teacher asks the students to circle the word
- Students can be grouped, using the extra table to make this game.
Ask the class to read all the words.
2. Tips for students to learn from and review from home
2.1. Learn from:
- There are many ways to learn the word, but with the first grade students, the word training is the best.
- After each lesson, the teacher asks the students to write the words they learned in the child table and the notebook. The purpose of the writing practice is to help the students remember words while helping them write the words. . Later in the class, the teacher asks students to bring their notebooks for examination.
VD: Teacher for the words "umbrella, bus"
2.2. Vocabulary
 The teacher instructs the students to make paper cards, one on the English word, one on the drawing board. These sheets can be put into a pen box ... to carry with you or can stick on the wall in your room to learn often.
IV. EFFICIENCY OF IMPLEMENTATION:
After a period of use the tips to help students remember from the lessons in school. I realize that :
- Less and more dynamic learning, students are more active in learning by the amount of words. Students have the habit of actively participating in games.
- The use of tricks requires the flexibility and selectivity of the teacher to avoid boring students and appropriate for each lesson. Depending on the type of words, choose the tricks to achieve high efficiency. Under the creativity of the teacher there will be many other tricks for the teacher to use, but the tips I presented above are suitable for students of grade 1, easy to implement and also attractive children.

After a while applying the above tips to the actual teaching I have drawn some problems.
1. For teachers:
Be proactive in understanding the psychological depths of students, so there are ways to choose the appropriate game for each student and each lesson, helping to improve English dynamics for students.
Practical tips for remembering the majority of words are made in the form of games, so the classroom atmosphere is less stressful and the lessons are more lively and effective.
Teachers use these tips to help students remember not only in class but also to help students remember when at home
2. For students:
 - Helping children to have motivation to learn, absorb good lessons and improve the quality of learning English.
 - They are more interested in the subject, learn more words and remember words. Their thinking ability is also improved.
 - They learn words, understand the meaning and use of vocabulary in communication practice. So you will have a passion for learning this subject.
- Know and apply some learning styles from home.
After a time of using the tips to help students remember from the class and some tips to help students remember when at home. Vocabulary of students increased significantly. Having this vocabulary will help them actively participate in learning, research, confidence in practice and communication, contributing to improving the quality of students and teaching effectiveness of teachers. Thus, the use of tips to help students remember the word in class, not only create fun atmosphere, excitement learning of students, but a scientific wizard, creative teacher. I believe that if we continue to implement this initiative seriously, throughout the teaching process, the quality of learning English in Hoang Phuong Primary School will have more positive results.
PART III. CONCLUDE
I. Conclusion
Vocabulary plays an important role in the language system. Without capital, people can not use it as a means of communication. Teaching English vocabulary to students, teachers must have a method for all students to remember the vocabulary effectively.
The above is a bit of experience that I myself have learned in practice at Hoang Phuong Primary School. It has helped me overcome the limitations of the teaching process. We hope to have the comments, add, draw experience of colleagues to the topic is more feasible.
