CHUYÊN ĐỀ:
NHỮNG CÂU HỎI VỀ VĂN HÓA GIAO TIẾP
TRONG ĐỀ THI ĐẠI HỌC
I. LÍ DO CHỌN CHUYÊN ĐỀ:
Trong tiến trình hội nhập và phát triển của đất nước, tiếng Anh giao tiếp luôn là mục tiêu cần
đạt được trong mọi cấp độ. Ngay từ cấp Tiểu học, học sinh đã được học và làm quen với tiếng Anh
giao tiếp thông qua các chủ đề mà các em quen thuộc. Các em biết cách hỏi, đáp về những thứ quen
thuộc xung quanh mình như về bản thân và gia đình. Ở cấp THCS và cấp THPT các em được học cách
đưa ra ý kiến của cá nhân, hỏi ý kiến của người khác; đưa ra lời khen ngợi hay đáp lại lời khen ngợi;
biết cách gợi ý hay rủ người khác cùng làm việc gì với mình. Trong các đề thi đại học hàng năm của
bộ GD và ĐT, các câu hỏi về văn hóa giao tiếp luôn được đưa vào trong phần chọn từ hoặc cụm từ
phù hợp nhất để điền vào chỗ trống tạo thành câu hoàn chỉnh. Loại câu hỏi này được cho là khó đối
với học sinh vì trong chương trình học phổ thông, các thầy cô chủ yếu là dạy từ vựng và văn phạm,
còn giao tiếp chiếm rất ít qua một số bài luyện kĩ năng nói. Môi trường thực hành và ứng dụng dường
như không có nên học sinh rất mau quên. Qua phân tích các đề đại học hàng năm, tôi đã chọn ra các
chuyên đề theo từng mảng cụ thể giúp học sinh dễ tiếp cận dạng bài, biết cách sử lí dạng bài đó và tập
chung luyện tập nhiều, tạo thành phản xạ nhanh. Chuyên đề về VĂN HÓA GIAO TIẾP thường gặp
trong đề thi đại học này sẽ cung cấp cho các em học sinh một số mẫu câu điển hình để các em có thể
làm tốt các bài thi trong các kì thi cao đẳng và đại học sắp tới.
II. MỤC ĐÍCH CỦA CHUYÊN ĐỀ:
Giúp cho các em học sinh:
- Hiểu được các mẫu câu cơ bản thường gặp về văn hóa giao tiếp trong đề thi đại học môn tiếng Anh
khối A1 và khối D.
- Biết cách hỏi đáp các mẫu câu đó khi đồng ý hoặc không đồng ý.
- Có thể vận dụng làm bài tập thực hành về kiến thức đó.
III. ĐỐI TƯỢNG- THỜI LƯỢNG ÔN THI:
- Học sinh lớp 12 trường THPT Phúc Yên.
- Số tiết dự kiến ôn luyện là 4.

IV. HỆ THỐNG KIẾN THỨC:
Kiến thức giao tiếp trong SGK cấp THCS, THPT, các loại sách ôn thi đại học của nhà xuất bản
giáo dục và các câu trích trong các đề thi đại học hàng năm về các mẫu câu giao tiếp thường ngày.
V. PHƯƠNG PHÁP CƠ BẢN:
Trong chuyên đề, tôi sử dụng phương pháp phân tích tổng hợp tài liệu có liên quan đến chuyên
đề về các cách diễn đạt trong tiếng Anh giao tiếp cũng như các biện pháp nhằm giúp học sinh phát
triển tốt kĩ năng phát hiện, phán đoán dạng câu hỏi; nhận định thông tin cần tìm; nhớ được câu trả lời
tương ứng cho từng dạng câu.

PHẦN III: KẾT LUẬN VÀ KHUYẾN NGHỊ
I. NHỮNG ĐÁNH GIÁ CƠ BẢN VỀ CHUYÊN ĐỀ
Theo đánh giá chủ quan của người viết chuyên đề thì chuyên đề đã đạt được những tiêu chí sau:
+ Về nội dung: Đề tài đã tập trung nghiên cứu và thục hiện gắn với một trong những yêu cầu đổi mới
nội dung, phương pháp giảng dạy bôn môn và phương pháp kiểm tra đánh giá. Những đổi mới này phù
hợp với yêu cầu đổi mới của ngành và đáp ứng được yêu cầu của thực tế là học để thực hành và học để
thi.
+ Về ý nghĩa: Đề tài được thực hiện tạo nên một hướng mới trong công tác giảng dạy ngoại ngữ nói
chung và trong việc dạy giao tiếp nói riêng. Đó là các nguyên tắc trong dạy và học ngoại ngữ: học phải
gắn liền với thực hành, học là phải luyện tập thường xuyên.
+ Về hiệu quả: Quá trình thực hiện chuyên đề cho thấy đề tài khá cập nhật với mong muốn của học sinh.
Chuyên đề là một phần khái quát về những kiến thức mà học sinh thiếu, lại không dễ dàng tìm được. Đề
tài này có thể áp dụng với nhiều đối tượng học sinh khác nhau và ở những trường khác nhau.
Tuy nhiên chuyên đề này vẫn không tránh khỏi còn nhiều sai sót trong quá trình thực hiện. Người
viết mong nhận được nhiều ý kiến đóng góp quý giá từ các đồng nghiệp.
II. CÁC ĐỀ XUẤT VÀ KHUYẾN NGHỊ
Mặc dù chương trình và sách giáo khoa tiếng Anh bậc THPT đã được biên soạn công phu và đáp
ứng được nhu cầu đổi mới nhưng các chủ đề nói trong bài không sát với nhu cầu và thực tế của học sinh.
Trong đề thi Đại học có các kiến thức về chức năng giao tiếp nhưng trong sách lại không cung cấp nhiều.
Học sinh không có cơ hội giao tiếp bằng tiếng Anh nên kiến thức dần mai một theo thời gian ngắn.Vì
vậy, Bộ GD- ĐT cần xây dựng nội dung chương trình và biên cho sách giáo soạn sao phù hợp và sát
thực tế với trình độ của học sinh ở các cùng nông thôn.
Cần trang bị cho các trường đầy đủ về cỏ sở vật chất và các phương tiện dạy học ngoại ngữ, như:
phòng học bộ môn, đài cassette, băng đĩa, máy chiếu.

PART 2: CONTENT
2.1. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1.1. Conversation strategies
Conversation strategies are techniques that help the speaker and listener keep a conversation going to
its natural and desired conclusion. They are skills that supplement the linguistic and sociolinguistic
skills most texts focus on: grammar, vocabulary, and usage. To develop strategic competence, students
must learn the words, phrases, and conventions used as two speakers engage in the active give-and-take
of conversation. These are the strategies we use to get more information, make comparisons, correct
someone politely, agree and disagree, summarize, share information, and make decisions in a business
meeting. Students also practice polite forms, rejoinders, clarifications, follow-up questions, getting a
response, expressing probability, interrupting, and avoiding conversation killers. Each activity has three
parts: a teacher's introduction, a written introductory exercise to be done by students individually, and
pair/group practice that makes use of information gap and other interactive formats. Each fun, studentcentered activity begins with controlled language and moves to open, imaginative exchanges. The work
is enjoyable for students and teacher and easy to use in any intermediate level class.
2.1.2. English Expressions for daily communication, ESL conversation & dialogues.
To teach and practice spoken English, I offer commonly used English Expressions for daily
communication, ESL conversation & dialogues. From learning these expressions, students will be
able to use very important communication phrases and expressions which native speakers normally use
in English conversations or dialogues. Also, learning these expressions will help to make students sound
more natural and polite.
