A - INTRODUCTION
I. REASONS FOR CHOOSING THE RESEARCH
During the years, we are carrying out the reformation in teaching new
English textbooks. Most of the teachers are used to these new Englishs and try
to find out good teaching methods as much as possible to apply in English
periods.
In order to make his English period more effective, the teacher himself
must find out the way of teaching suitable for his students. I think that in a good
English period, the students play active roles and the teacher is only the adviser.
All the teachers know pair work and group work are the main
activities in teaching English at schools. There is always pair work or
group work in each lesson of textbook but at times it is not suitable for some
classes. If the teacher wants his students to play active roles, he should design
pair work and group work before going to class for each period. But sometimes
the teacher gets stuck in organizing pair work and group work effectively.
I myself want to present how I apply pair work and group work in most of
my teaching English periods.
II. AIMS OF THE RESEARCH
With the reasons above in my mind, the specific aims of the study accordingly
are:
- To introduce pair work and group work and to show the advantages of
working in pairs and groups.
- To show how to organize pair and group work effectively and how to
deal with initial problems that may arise.
- To show how pair and group work can be used for various classroom
activities.
- To give teachers confidence in using pair and group work themselves.
III. SCOPE, OBJECT AND RESEARCHING METHOD
- Scope: Researching in the process of teaching English at Luu Hoang
high school.
- Object: This subject is concerned with ways of organizing activities in
the class.
- Researching method: Reading reference books, discussing with other
teachers, applying in teaching, observing and drawing out experiences.

I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1. What are pair work and group work?
1.1. Pair work:
The teacher devices the whole class into pairs. Every student works with
his or her parner and all the pairs work at the same time. The teacher walks
around, listens and intervenes little if necessary.
1.2 Group work:
Students work in small groups (of four or five) on tasks that entail
interaction: conveying information, for example, or group decision making. All
the groups work at the same time. The teacher walks around listening, intervenes
little if at all
2. Advantages and disadvantages of pairwork and groupwork
2.1. Advantages
- To increase the amount of student practice: When students work in pairs or
groups they have more chance to practise. By working in pairs or groups
students often feel more willing to talk among themselves in a small group
rather than with a teacher in a large group so that it dramatically increases the
amount of talking for individual students.
- To increase learners’ confidence: The students feel much more comfortable to
speak foreign language with one or two other students rather than with the
whole class and the teacher. Especially shy students or ones who are not good at
speaking language yet feel more relaxed and self-confident trying to put their
language abilities to a test during the activity and seeing how to use them. This
encourages students to cooperarte with one another.
- To motivate students’ fluency: While working in pairs or group abilities,
students can use the language freely and express their opinions and thoughts
without any restrictions. It is difficult not to get the impression that fluency can
be improved only during constant speaking practice in the atmosphere of
independence and in the state of relaxation.
- To increase students’ motivation: While working in pairs or groups, the
activities are available. As we know, a huge variety of activities influences the
course of a lesson and its success. The more different activities the teacher use
in the lesson, the bigger their motivtion is. In fact, students’ motivation
increasesbecause they are active and feel important during these activities. In
keeping with this, the teacher is going to experiencesuccess in his/her work
because motivated students are usually good languages learners and they always
make progress.
