The rationale: In the integration and development of the Party and State have been increasingly focused on training and improving the quality of teaching and learning foreign languages, especially English. English language system is extremely complex. So even when you were a student of class 6, we need to focus on helping the students have good study skills to practice. For foreign language in general and in English in particular, the vocabulary and grammar is the first important factor facilitating development of skills to acquire and use language to students. However, any method is not suitable for all pupils. Although new words of each song was introduced in a basically and diversity, student comprehension and readable immediately and under are from immediately, after that, the funds of vocabulary which you check only even partially. The problem is how to help students have a rich vocabulary and long term? Today, the education has taken many positive innovative methods in teaching of English and was very helpful to teachers in the process of imparting knowledge to students. In my opinion, to help students learn and absorb all good article there should be a method of attracting, engaging, creating a positive learning atmosphere and comfortable for students, avoid cramped, mold one excessively. One of the methods that can meet criteria and have been effective is to teach vocabulary and English grammar through songs. 2. Real: I was assigned to teach subjects in English class 6B, the 2012-2013 school year. This is a class that most of the students are obedient, hard- working, most children understand and pronounce good words on class. However, it is inevitable from the sometimes boring students to learn new words and difficult to acquire right lessons. In the first half of the semester I, I used methods of teaching vocabulary normal. When introducing a new word I perform the following steps: - Read newwords sample from at least three times. - Tell the class in chorus first and then individual repeat. - Writing new words on the board. - Read to students and tell the class in chorus- individual class. - Ask students to write in their notebooks. - Given Vietnamese. - Ask students to write Vietnamese in their notebooks . - Read again to the students identify stress syllables. - Mark stress syllables and ask students to mark it on the notebook. - Check understanding of students . I usually use one of the test procedures and reinforce vocabulary as: Rub out and remember, Slap the board, What and where, Matching, Bingo .... The results are only one part of students to quickly grasp and remember in the classroom. This method, class 6B has resulted in mid- first semester exam was: Excellent: 5/45 students - 11.11% Good: 12/45 students - 26.67% Ok: 19/45 students - 42.22% Weak: 9/45 students - 20% 3. The solution of this problems: Aware of the problem to improve the efficiency of communicating vocabulary and English grammar rich and complex, instead of using the usual tricks, I bravely put some songs in teaching hours to test and reinforce students' vocabulary. I would like to present a vocabulary lesson using songs, the following : Choose appropriate songs: Not any English songs can also be used to teach students. To teach students to obtain sufficient quantities from serving lesson they must choose the appropriate song. I usually choose the songs for children both fun and simple, easy to understand. Period 22, Unit 4, "Big or small?", The C1, C2, C3, page 49, Text book English 6, to check and reinforce the vocabulary, I use the song "Wake up wake up": Wake up wake up brush your teeth Get up get up get dressed quick Wake up wake up wash your hands Get up get up get up quick Wake up wake up wash your face Get up get up have breakfast Wake up wake up go to school Get up get up get up quick Steps: - Read 3 times new words: get up; get dressed; brush; wash; have breakfast; go to school. - Read to the class, class in chorus and then individual repeat. - Write new words on the board. - Give the students in chorus - then individual student. - Ask students to write in their notebooks. - Give Vietnamese. - Ask students to write in their notebooks mean Vietnamese. - Ask students to write Vietnamese in their notebooks . - Read again to the students identify stress syllables. - Mark stress syllables and ask students to mark it on the notebook. - Play the song one time for students to become familiar with the melody and rhythm of the song. - Introduce a song with missing words to check and ask the students to listen to 2 times and fill in the blanks: Wake up wake up (1) ......... your teeth Get up get up get (2) ......... quick Wake up wake up wash your hands Get up get up (3) ............ quick Wake up wake up (4) ......... your face Get up get up have (5) ......... Wake up wake up (6) ...... to school Get up get up get up quick - Students listen and fill in the blanks. - Call some students give their answers. - Let students listen sentence by sentence and provide the answer: 1. Brush 2. dressed 3. get up 4. wash 5. breakfast 6. go - If I have time, students will listen again and they can sing this song easily. Result: Most of the students are excited about learning more can simultaneously listen and fill in the exact answer. Lessons come alive and more attractive to students. Listening to songs and sing along to help them more accurately pronounce words learned in lessons and developing their listening skills. 4. Lesson learned: After researching I've learned the experience for myselves in building a vocabulary lesson, using songs to check like following: - Select and collect the songs simple fun, suitable for student. - The amount of words in the song should meet most of the words in the lesson. - Looking to buy the tapes or download in the internet to have many songs. - Time to listen to a song and fill the answer should not be prolonged. - It is possible for students to listen and learn to sing the song again in the extensive training and extracurricular hour is the most appropriate. 5. Introduction of English song: Let me give you some English songs can be used to teach vocabulary for students in grade 6: THE SONG OF ABC Come my children, come to me I like sing the ABC A B C D E F G H I K L N M O P Q R S T U V and W and X Y Z Now you've heard my ABC Tell me what you think of me All together sing with me Let us try our ABC A B C D E F G H I K L N M O P Q R S T U V and W and X Y Z Now you've heard our ABC Let us hear your ABC WHAT IS YOUR NAME What is your name?

Outcomes of the project: Music has always attracted all ages, especially students. Hence, the addition of English songs in teaching has achieved many positive results in the training of teachers as well as the learning of students in English. Besides, the English song has helped enrich the spiritual life of the students, making them more passionate this subject. The songs were done when I give my students excited enthusiastic participation at school. Many shy student, less involved building all have more boldly and more exciting speech in class. Specifically, after a period of teaching vocabulary in conjunction with the English song student results achieved last semester I: Excellent: 18/45 students - 40% Good: 11/45 students- 24.44% OK: 12/45 students - 26.67% Weak: 4/45 students - 8.89% Through this data, we can see right visible progress of students in class 6B. About good results as above, what makes me most excited my students increasingly love for English. It is motivation to help children learn better discipline. 7. The problems to be solved The introduction of English songs to teach a very encouraging result. However, with this initiative I just applied for a class, can not replicate all the other grades for the following reasons: - Objects of students in each grade are different knowledge, thus choosing the appropriate songs for lessons as well as the pupils are not easy. Not lesson there is a song in order to check the words to the students because it requires elements are sufficient in both quantity and content of language in every song. - Music makes you always exciting, comfortable to cause a distraction while continuing class. - Lessons use songs that disturb the next door. 8. Proposals and recommendations: My school has facilitated me and my colleagues in teaching foreign language . However, starting from the basis of theory, practice, teaching purposes as well as the successes and constraints in the implementation of the subject. To contribute to the teaching of English to reach quality increasingly, I have practical proposal like the following: - Equipped more and more with facilities for foreign language teaching and learning, such as retrofit outlet, the speaker in the class, adding the English music recordings. III. CONCLUSION Teaching is an art, so my opinions may not be called innovation, because lesson and the quality of lesson is to be successful that will depend on many involved factors such as: professional qualifications, experience, teaching materials .... As for me, I have applied the above method and have obtained positive results. I hope that my ideas and ways to attract students to the lessons that will be the scientific method to help Grade 6 students learning English better and achieve better results. In my opinion, this is the first step successfully to teach English in grade 6. However, inevitable omissions as presented. I have to learn colleagues and adjust in the teaching process. I look forward to inputing and helping of colleagues so that I can complete this topic to helps teaching and learning English better. I sincerely thank you. Thanh Hoa, March 28th, 2017. I promise I completed the experience idea myself. The writer Le Thi Huong IV. REFERENCES 1. The Ministry of Education and Training, English 6, the Education Publishing House, 2002. 2.
