Методическая разработка интеллектуального марафона по страноведению
«Знаешь ли ты англоязычные страны?» с ответами.
Преподавателя английского языка Попковой Татьяны Васильевны.
Рекомендую для работы с учащимися 7-11 классов и студентов
образовательных учреждений среднего профессионального образования
с целью формирования социально-культурной компетенции учащихся в
процессе изучения истории, географии, культуры и традиций англо-говорящих
стран.
ОТО
Обучение страноведению преследует главным образом практическую цель –
формирование социально-культурной компетенции учащихся. Нельзя сугубо
академически, абстрактно преподавать язык: надо знать страну этого языка, ее
народ, что с ним происходит, какие его устремления. Европеизация
содержания гуманитарного образования требует знания лингвистических и
культурных особенностей стран и их вклада в мировую культуру.
Для достижения поставленных целей я использую разнообразные формы
работы: видео-уроки, встречи с носителями языка, конкурсы на лучший
литературный перевод стихов известных английских и американских поэтов,
проведение викторин по страноведению: «Знаешь ли ты Соединенное
Королевство Великобритании и Северной Ирландии?», «Знаешь ли ты
Соединенные Штаты Америки?»... Канаду, Австралию, Финляндию и другие
страны. Я активно привлекаю студентов 2-3 курсов к составлению подобных
викторин о местах массового отдыха россиян: Египте, Турции, Италии, Греции
и других стран.
Интенсификации учебного процесса добиваюсь путем применения
разнообразных технических средств, иллюстраций, схем, таблиц, графиков и
использования интерактивных технологий.
К данной статье я прилагаю разработку интеллектуального марафона
«Знаешь ли ты англоязычные страны?» с ответами на вопросы. Эти наработки я
использую как с целью систематизации материала, так и с целью контроля
знаний учащихся. Неоднократно проводила этот страноведческий марафон для
студентов 1-3 курсов и с удовлетворением замечаю возрастающий интерес к
данному разделу учебного материала. Сравнивая культуры, обычаи и традиции
других стран, учащиеся по-новому смотрят на историю и традиции своей
родной страны. Я убеждена, что страноведческая работа является
неотъемлемой частью учебного процесса, она дополняет и углубляет
материалы используемых учебно-методических комплексов.
