PART 1: INTRODUCTION
1. Rationale
When young teachers have just graduated from universities and gone out to
work, they usually have the habit of speaking English. Their voices are beautiful
and sweet. But at most schools English teachers are judged by the scores of their
students’ entrance exam. So they spend most of their time teaching students
grammar, reading and do multiple choice exercises. They mostly use Vietnamese
in class so day after day they gradually lose their speaking habit. But as we know,
only when the teachers have the habit of speaking English can they teach their
students to speak English well. So there is an urgent need to enhance teachers’
overall competences especially speaking skill to meet the requirement of teaching
English in this modern society.
In most of group meetings, English teachers usually speak Vietnamese and do
paperwork with very low effect and waste a lot of time. Many groups hold group
meeting just because principals require them to do so not because they have
demand to do so.
Group meeting are excellent opportunities for English teachers to enhance
their overall competences especially speaking skill to meet the new demand in this
modern society.
That is the main reason why I decided to choose the topic: “Innovating
group meeting procedure and contents to enhance teachers’speaking skill and
its effectiveness in Hoang Mai 2 high school”.
In this experience idea I address some reasons that affect teachers speaking
abilities and suggest some solutions to make full use of group meetings to enhance
teachers’ speaking skill.
2. Aims of the study
The main purpose of this experience idea is to examine and research the
factors that affect teachers’ speaking skill, the current situation of group meetings
at most of the schools. Also, it is intended to suggest some solutions to innovate
group meeting procedure and contents to enhance teachers’ speaking skill and its
effectiveness in Hoang Mai 2 high school. The study is aimed at answering 3
questions:
1, What factors affect teachers’ speaking abilities?
2, What factors affect the quality of a group meeting?
3, Which possible recommendations can be taken to innovate group meeting
procedure and contents to enhance teachers’ speaking skill and its effectiveness in
Hoang Mai 2 high school.
