Nội dung tóm tắt: SKKN Some techniques to teach the lesson culture in the textbook to the students at Do Luong 2 upper secondary school

1. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS CONCLUSION: This study has checked and investigated the attitudes of learners towards the use of some techniques in teaching and learning the lesson Culture. Firstly, the activities contribute a lot to teaching and learning a foreign language if learners are given chance to practice the target language through its culture in a pleasant and friendly warm atmosphere. Secondly, the activities involve learners in the task-based activities where the goal is to set and students do their best in order to compete with each other and the language is used effectively. Last but not the least: the main factor of using these activities is that they bring real world context into the classroom, and enhance students to use English in a flexible and communicative way. The main results of this research have implications for learners and teachers in the realm of teaching ‘real’ English. The results of the survey obtained from the data collection instruments showed that the techniques applied in the lessons Culture have an effective influence on the development of linguistic competency of learners as well as communicative competency. Certainly, the activities would be successful if they are presented to students in understandable way which means that they must be planned step by step. It cannot be denied that they bring good result in students’ cultural knowledge. SUGGESTIONS: As mentioned above, this study has shown its good impact on the teaching and learning of the lessons Culture in textbooks. The techniques we have used in this study can be applied in Tieng Anh10, Tieng Anh 11, Tieng Anh 12. In addition, they can be used in other lessons. The important point to consider is the different cultural background of students. Before implementing some aspects of culture of a foreign language, in our case English, it is important for the teacher to take into consideration that some customs, traditions can be rude, humiliating or can be considered as abnormal by some students depending their origin, especially if we compare Christian and Muslim culture. With the help of modern technology, teachers have many ways to search for effective materials. Basing on the theoretical background and findings of study, the researcher would like to provide some implications for techniques to enhance students' cultural knowledge. Hopefully, this teaching experience will make a small contribution to the teaching of learning English. 40
