LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ABTRACT This research aims to develop speaking skill of young learners through Cognitive perspectives at Atlantic Languages & Informatics School ( ALIS). The participants were 18 primary school students including 10 females and 8 males aged from 7 to 10 years old. They studied three lessons a week (each lesson lasts 90 minutes) and all the learners had been learning English at ALIS for eight months. This study focused on the development of young learners‟ speaking skill at ALIS by applying one of cognitive strategies in teaching process: imagery. The author hopes that this study will help students develop their English speaking skill in a natural way through the use of pictures.

Rationale English is the international language. Almost all the people from many different countries around the world use it to communicate. “English is spoken as a first language by more than 300 million people throughout the world’s population speaks English with some degree of competence. It is an official or semi- official language in over 70 countries and it plays a significant role in many more” (A S Hornby, 2005: 91). It is also widely known as a tool for international communication in transportation, commerce, banking, tourism, technology, diplomacy, and scientific research. Therefore, teaching and learning English is very important and necessary because mastering it is the best and the shortest way for us to have many opportunities to reach the success of life. Realizing the significance of this language, more and more Vietnamese people at different ages start to learn it. A long time ago, English was learnt at secondary school and college. Today, in our country education system, students are introduced to English at elementary school. According to Vietnam‟s Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), by 2020 all senior high school students will have to study English as a compulsory subject. Beside the lessons at primary school, the increasing number of parents let their kids attend English courses at the private language centers. There are many reasons that parents let their kids go to study at these centers. Some want their kids to be familiar with English while the other people simply expect their children to have higher marks at school. No matter what reasons are, this statement is very praiseworthy. As we know, listening and speaking are the two most important skills and related to LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com each other in terms of communication, but “speaking seem intuitively the most important”. During the process of teaching English to young learners at ALIS, I recognize that teaching speaking is not an easy job at all. Unlike the usual way of learning of teenagers or adults, the very young learners are unable to concentrate for an extended period time. Therefore, the teachers have to apply activities in class to make them less bored. To help students make better in speaking activity, I consulted some methods to increase their motivation and to improve their speaking ability. These above reasons gave me a desire to conduct the study: These above reasons gave me a desire to conduct the study: “Developing speaking Skill of Young Learners through Cognitive perspectives at Atlantic Languages & Informatics School (ALIS)”. I hoped this research will be a helpful contribution in teaching and learning English to enhance speaking ability for the young learners. The scope and subject of the study This study investigated the effects of cognitive strategies in teaching and learning speaking at ALIS. Because of the limit of the study, I will focus on one of cognitive strategies: Imagery through using pictures in teaching progress; the study will carried be out in English classes for young learners at ALIS; The study involves the participation of 18 learners who are attending” LET‟S GO 2” class. Significance of the study: Because the study was conducted on a small scale with a group of LET‟GO classes at a language and technology school, the researcher hopes to contribute to the teaching of speaking English at ALIS. The result of the study is considered helpful for teachers and learners at this school. This study will be a useful material for teachers of English at ALIS, especially for those who are in desire of developing and improving their students‟ speaking.

Purposes of the study This study focused on the development of young learners‟ speaking skill at ALIS by applying one of cognitive strategies in teaching process. The writer hopes to help students develop their English speaking skill in a natural way using pictures. Besides, she desires to contribute to the teaching and learning of English to enhance speaking ability for young learners. To achieve this aim, some objectives are posed for the exploration as follows: (1) To find out the effects of pictures on the students‟ performance in English lessons; (2) To discover students‟ attitudes towards the use of pictures in the classroom 5. Research questions With those objectives, my research questions are: 1. What are the effects of pictures on students‟ achievement? 2. What are the students‟ attitudes towards using pictures in English class? 6. Methods of the study On one hand, the analysis is involved in the process of data collection and analysis. The data collected will go through analysis and yield conclusion about the subjects of the study. The instruments for this process include the pre- test and final speaking test score. On the other hand, the students‟ attitude of cognitive strategies reflected through the teacher‟s observing students in the activities, have been subjectively analyzed. Thus, main instruments for data collection are used in this study, including the test score and teacher‟s observation. Hopefully, the study will yield beneficial results which support the learning and teaching speaking in the future. The organizations of the study LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com The study comprises three parts: Introduction, Methodology, and Conclusion Part one, INTRODUCTION, presents an overview of the study in which the rationale, the aims, and the significance of the study, the research questions, the method, the scope and the design of the study are presented. The next part provides the DEVELOPMENT of the thesis with three chapters. Chapter 1 presents the literature review with some aspects of speaking such as definition of speaking, communicative components; what the cognition is, some kinds of cognitive strategies in learning English language. Chapter 2 is research methodology. In this chapter, the focus will be on background information of the subject of the study, the instruments used to collect data, the procedure of data collection as well as the data analysis procedures. Chapter 3, findings and discussions, presents a description of data analysis and discussions. With the description of data analysis through two instruments: and the pre- test and post-test, I explored some interpretations of the findings. The last part CONCLUSION is devoted to the overview of the study. This chapter also provides the limitations of the study as well as some suggestions for further study. DEVELOPMENT LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com CHAPTER 1: LITERATURE REVIEW 1.1 Concepts of speaking 1.1 What is speaking skill? In teaching English, there are four important skills, listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, teaching and learning speaking skill is different from the way of learning and teaching other skills. Whereas, teaching reading or writing related to the text, speaking happens in real time since it interacts between the speaker and the listener. Moreover, when you speak, you cannot edit or revise what you wish to say as you can if you are writing. The speaker has to decide on their message and communicate it without taking time to check it over and correct it. There are various different definitions of speaking skill. In Oxford Advanced Dictionary, the definition of speaking skill is “to express or communicate opinions, feeling, idea, etc., by or as talking and it evolves the activities in the part of the physical (acoustic) stages. Speaking is an interactive process in which individuals alternate in their roles as speakers and listeners and employs both verbal and non-verbal means to reach their communicative goals.
