Введение и закрепление фразовых глаголов в учебном процессе.

Для успешного усвоения фразовых глаголов в учебном процессе были выбраны глаголы, приобщенные к теме урока «Sport and activities». Были выбраны следующие фразовые глаголы:

1 Bring forward

Так как у каждого фразового глагола есть синоним простой глагол (либо фразовый глагол всегда можно заменить словосочетанием), то при введении новых фразовых глаголов на первом уроке по данной теме использовался принцип семантизации (см. 1.4 «Способы ознакомления учащихся с фразовыми глаголами»).

Этот способ очень полезен и эффективен, так как он способствует образованию семантических связей в долговременной памяти учащихся.

На основном этапе урока при введении новой лексики использовались карточки с указанными фразовыми глаголами, которые были вывешены на доске. Учащимся было сказано прочитать и попробовать догадаться о значении фразовых глаголов. (См. приложение 2, конспект урока №1).

Затем подгруппа была разделена на три команды и учащиеся в командах должны были сопоставить фразовый глагол со значением.

У каждой команды были разные фразовые глаголы. Таким образом, затратилось меньше времени на выполнение упражнения и у каждой команды было индивидуальное задание. Учащиеся успешно справились с выполнением задания.

После того как они сопоставили фразовые глаголы с их значением, полученные результаты были вывешены на доску для того, чтобы учащиеся смогли проверить свои предположения о значении глаголов и узнать правильные ответы.

a. Bring forward – to delay.

b. Carry on – going on /continue.

c. Get round to – to start doing something.

d. Get up to – to be in time.

e. Go in for – to start as a habit.

f. Go off – stop liking.

g. Join in – to get in.

h. Look out – be careful.

i. Put up with – tolerate.

j. Take to – to like.

k. Take up – start as a hobby.

Задание такого типа было сделано на первом уроке, а в качестве домашнего задания было задано выучить новые фразовые глаголы наизусть и письменно выполнить упражнения, которые были приготовлены учителем заранее в качестве раздаточного материала.

При выполнении домашнего задания учащимся необходимо было сопоставить начало предложения и его конец, что явилось заданием в первом упражнении. Во втором упражнении учащиеся должны были заполнить пропуски, используя необходимый фразовый глагол.

Упражнения для самостоятельного выполнения дома:

Ex. 1 Join the beginnings of the sentences with the endings.

Урок 2:

Основной задачей для проведения эксперимента на втором уроке было закреплять фразовые глаголы в устной и письменной речи учащихся.

На втором уроке фразовые глаголы были взяты в качестве речевой зарядки в начале урока. (См. приложение 3, конспект урока №2)

В начале основного этапа урока была проведена проверка домашнего задания (см. вышеприведенные упражнения). Учащиеся выполнили тренировочные упражнения самостоятельно дома. Упражнения были выполнены практически без ошибок.

При выполнении упражнений такого вида у ученика в памяти откладывается эталон употребления слова в речи, и он запоминает значение слова или выражения, может в дальнейшем использовать его в своей речи.

На основном этапе урока было проведено аудирование по данной теме. При ответе учащимся необходимо было объяснить свой выбор, комментируя и приводя примеры, используя новую лексику по теме «Sport and activities» и используя новые фразовые глаголы. Таким образом, учащиеся практиковали фразовые глаголы в речи после отработки в письменных тренировочных упражнениях.

В качестве домашнего задания учащиеся должны были составить свои собственные предложения, используя фразовые глаголы.

Урок 3:

На следующем уроке формирующего этапа эксперимента были поставлены следующие задачи:

1. Проверить грамотность использования данных фразовых глаголов в устной речи.

2. Провести текущий контроль использования фразовых глаголов в письменной речи.

В начале основного этапа урока была проверка домашнего задания. ( См. приложение 4, конспект урока № 3)

Учащиеся должны были самостоятельно составить предложения по теме «Sport and activities», используя фразовые глаголы и новую лексику по данной теме. Ученики успешно справились с заданием.

Для того чтобы проверить на сколько хорошо учащиеся владеют данными фразовыми глаголами в устной речи на уроке проводилось говорение по данной теме.

Подгруппа была разделена на две команды. Первая команда должна была выступить с аргументами в поддержку занятий спортом, а вторая команда соответственно была против. Ученикам было интересно выполнять задание такого вида потому, что они использовали свои знания, чтобы обыграть соперников. Схемы с опорами были представлены в учебнике.

В своей речи учащиеся грамотно использовали фразовые глаголы и грамматические конструкции в предложениях.

Тест:

Ex1 Complete each second sentence using the word in bold so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence. Write between two and five words in each gap.

Урок 4:

Целью четвертого урока было введение новых фразовых глаголов.

Для дальнейшего проведения эксперимента были выбраны фразовые глаголы, приобщенные к теме «Let`s build a bridge!». Использовались материалы из дополнительного учебно-методического комплекта «A good Turn of phrases» под редакцией В. Эванс и Д.Мильтона. (14)

На основном этапе следующего урока ученикам были предложены следующие глаголы:

Они были представлены в диалоге и учащиеся должны были прочитать и понять диалог, а затем сопоставить глаголы и их значения. (См. приложение 5, конспект урока №4).

Речь Стива Джобса перед выпускниками Стэнфорда: Учим английский по мотивам легендарного выступления

Знаменитая речь Стива Джобса перед выпускниками на английском

12 июня 2005 года Стив Джобс выступил с речью перед выпускниками Стэндфордского университета. Церемония выдачи аттестатов в американских университетах имеет красивое название: commencement [kə’men(t)smənt]. Поэтому в описании этой речи на английском вы увидите такое предложение:

Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life’s setbacks at the university’s 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005.
Стив Джобс, главный исполнительный директор и соучредитель Apple Computer и Pixar Animation Studios, призвал выпускников следовать своим мечтам и видеть возможности в жизненных неудачах на 114-ой церемонии выдачи аттестатов 12 июня 2005 года.

В этой речи он рассказал о трёх историях из своей жизни, которые поразили и вдохновили всех присутствующих. Это истории о поисках себя, значительных потерях, любви и смерти.

Все три истории поучительные и заряжают мотивацией. Так что, если вы опустили руки в изучении английского, вам просто необходимо познакомиться с этой речью.
