INTRODUCTION 1.1. Reasons for choosing the topic. Nowadays, in the integration period and with the globalization trend, foreign languages, especially English, play a very important role in society. English becomes an international language. It is used in many fields such as business, trade, communications, tourism and diplomatic activities, etc. . More than fifty countries in the world use English as their official language and it is used as the second language in nearly eighty nations. Therefore, English is an ology which is never saturated due to its newness and popularity in all fields. Our Party and government showed their particular interest in teaching and learning foreign languages.English is considered as a main subject at upper secondary school. Teaching English with the communicative approach is our aim. How to improve all skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) completely for our students is our duty. All skills are important and it is necessary for us to develop them. Curriculum and textbooks are issued with a view to carrying out this aim successfully. However, writing skill seems to be one of the most difficult skills for students. Most writing tasks, for example describing charts, are not interesting enough to attract them. They do not even know how to deal with these tasks. Their writings are only simple descriptions without comparisons. “What can I do to help my students?” “In what way do my students describe them well?” “What should I do to make these writing tasks easier and more attractive?” The best way I did to assist them is that I used the eliciting questions combined with games to guide them. I would like to share my teaching experience “Improving students’ ability to describe charts in Tieng Anh 11 through question systems combined with games” in the hope that my colleagues can apply in teaching and we can discuss more to get the best result in teaching how to describe charts. 1.2. Aims of the research - Helping students alleviate difficulties while practicing graph descriptions in English 11. - Presenting a new method to develop the writing performance of students at high schools. - To introduce how to apply the question systems combined with games in teaching describing charts in English 11 at high school. 4 SangKienKinhNghiem.net tanninh0112@gmail.com tanninh0112@gmail.com tanninh0112@gmail.com tanninh0112@gmail.com tanninh0112@gmail.com tanninh0112@gmail.com - To introduce the advantages of the application of question systems combined with games in teaching describing charts. - To explore the effectiveness of the method of teaching students to represent the graph with the question systems combined with games in describing the graphs of Tieng Anh 11. - Presenting new techniques for English teachers in teaching grammatical structures in writing. - To make easier for students to produce acceptable structures in their writing tasks. Therefore, this method seems to serve as an influential tool for both the learning and teaching of writing (for both students and teachers). 1.3. Subjects of the research. Describing charts is one of the most difficult writing tasks for high school students. Students often do not have enough vocabularies, structures, and do not even know how to describe a chart. In this research, I want to offer a useful method for high school students to write a pasage describing the chart. By this method, students will feel more comfortable and interested in learning to write. That research is “Improving students’ ability to describe charts in Tieng Anh 11 through question systems combined with games”. 1.4.
