Программа кружка по английскому языку Удивительный английский. 8-9 класс

ПОЯСНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ЗАПИСКА

К ПРОГРАММЕ КРУЖКА ПО АНГЛИЙСКОМУ ЯЗЫКУ

«Удивительный английский»

Процесс обучения иностранным языкам призван сформировать у учащихся способность участвовать в непосредственном и опосредованном диалоге культур, совершенствоваться в иностранном языке и использовать его для углубления своих знаний в различных областях науки, техники и общественной жизни.

Эта способность предполагает формирование у школьников:

• умений понимать и порождать иноязычные высказывания в соответствии с конкретной ситуацией общения, речевой задачей и коммуникативными намерениями;

• знаний правил речевого и неречевого поведения в определенных стандартных ситуациях, национально-культурных особенностей страны изучаемого языка и умений осуществлять свое речевое поведение в соответствии с этими знаниями.

Существующие учебные пособия, по которым ведется преподавание английского языка в 8-м классе общеобразовательной школы, не способствуют в полной мере формированию таких умений и знаний, так как содержат много условно-коммуникативных упражнений, не предполагают интенсивной речевой практики, содержат малое количество разговорных формул и речевых клише, употребляемых в соответствии с конкретными условиями общения.

Предлагаемая программа ставит перед собой задачу развития навыков устной речи с целью включения в сферу общения на английском языке. Ее реализация должна обеспечить более высокий уровень автоматизации умений и навыков говорения.

Курс рассчитан на 2 часа в неделю, то есть на 48 занятий учебного года. В нем представлены 12 ситуаций общения и 5 подтем, которые связаны с различиями в американском и британском вариантах английского языка. В каждой ситуации общения дается тематически сгруппированный список слов и речевые образцы, необходимые для усвоения, посредством которых происходит общение в данной ситуации. К каждой ситуации и подтеме подобраны упражнения, диалоги, тексты, кроссворды. В систему устных форм работы входит 2 типа упражнений: тренировочные и коммуникативные. В конкретном виде – это работа с речевыми образцами, ситуативными диалогами и диалоги с заменами, подстановочные, трансформационные, вопросно-ответные, репродуктивные упражнения и упражнения на перевод. (По усмотрению учителя могут использоваться и другие виды упражнений, меняться их логическая последовательность).

Большое внимание уделяется творческим формам работы: создание проблемной и ролевой ситуации, условная беседа, комментирование, которые готовят учащихся к свободной беседе.

Работа с аудиоматериалами позволит учащимся не только совершенствоваться в понимании «живое» речи на слух, но и формировать собственные произносительные навыки, овладеть основными типами интонации английского предложения.

Считаю, что данная программа существенно дополняет и обогащает основные учебники и пособия, используемые в 8-м классе. Она поможет вывести учащихся на более высокую ступень достижения основной цели программы преподавания иностранных языков в общеобразовательной школе - развитие личности, способной и желающей участвовать в межкультурном общении на английском языке.

3) Means of Communication

1. Listen to the dialogues, , pay attention to the differences in British and American English.

A. – Are we going to get a taxi?	- No, I have got a car, but I’m afraid. I’m running out of petrol, so we’ll have to stop at the filling station.

B. - Are we driving downtown?	- Yes, we are almost in the centre of the city.
- Is that a subway station?	- Yes, that’s a Tube station, which is the closest to your hotel. You may just take the subway from the front door, and you’ll get to the Tube.
- How do you mean: “take a subway to get to the Tube?”	- Yes, a subway is an underground passage used for crossing a street
- I see. As we Russians put it: You learn as long as you live. Do you use streetcars a lot?	- No, we don’t have many trams, we mainly use buses, or coaches as we often call them.
- What’s the best way to get to Oxford?	- I think the best way would be to go by train. It won’t take you long, and the travel is most enjoyable.
- Do they have a railroad schedule at the hotel?	- I’m sure they’ve got a railway timetable at the Reception. You can get to the railway station by Tube.
- Do I have to buy a one way ticket or are there round trip tickets?	- No, certainly it is advisable to get a return ticket, rather than a single one – it’s much more convenient.
- And how about renting a car instead?	- Of course, you may hire a car, but it’s much more tiring, and Oxford is meant for walking not driving. It’s such a beautiful old town!
- Yes, I’m sure you’re right. And your public transportation is much more efficient then in the States.	- I should say so. I’d say our public transport is satisfactory.

4) Getting about Town

1. Listen to the dialogues, , pay attention to the differences in British and American English..

- We say “in the street”. And here’s the block of flats where I live. My flat’s on the third floor.	- You mean the fourth floor of the apartment house?
- Yes, actually it is.	- I got used to the way you count storeys, but it’s much harder getting used to driving on the left side. I almost got run down by a truck yesterday.
- Lorries move very fast sometimes. Take care when crossing the street: first look right, then left. Oh, mind the dustbin on the pavement!	- Is that what you call garbage cans? And the English call trucks lorries and sidewalks pavements – there’s so much to learn yet.
B.	- Do you have nice neighbours?
- Yes, there’s a fine chap next door, and I used his advice in decorating the flat. He was most helpful.	- He’s got good taste, that guy.
- He is on holiday at the moment, or I would introduce him to you.	- Have you had your vacation already?
- Not yet. I’ll go on holiday in the autumn. I’m planning to go to the Bahamas.	- It must cost a billion going there in the fall.
- No, it isn’t too expensive, if you buy a tour, not a milliard certainly, much less. By the way, why don’t you drop you in tonight/ We are going to have a party.	- I’m planning to be back at the hotel by six. I’m going to a movie theater.
All right. One of the blokes will give you a lift, as your hotel is on his way. Well, a bloke’s another word for a chap or guy. He’ll drive you here, to my place, after the cinema.	- What’s a bloke?

- Well, it’s the same thing. Have you got some dark trousers?	- Yes, I’ve got dark grey pants. Well they do?
- With us pants are something we wear under trousers, not over the underwear. I think you can you wear a waistcoat too.	- Do you mean a vest?
- You are sure to wear a vest under your shirt, but I’m speaking about something you wear over the shirt and under the jacket.	- Yes, it is a vest in American. Why are you laughing?
- I just imagined you dressed in the things you named in your American English and attending the reception in a vest and pants.	- Does the difference pertain to food too? Will I be getting a milk shake instead of whisky and soda?
- Yes, this may happen. I’ll give you just a few examples of the difference: potato chips are called crisps here. French fries are chips, instead of your favourite hamburgers you should ask for minced beef.	- Okay, that will do. But I’ll have to consult you at dinner, if you don’t mind.
