Поисковое чтение
Pre-reading tasks
Познакомить учащихся с термином «полиглотизм»
Учитель предлагает учащимся догадаться о значении слов:
Polyphony,Polyvitamin, Polyclinic и роли приставки в них. Учащиеся находят в
данных интернациональных словах общую приставку poly- и устанавливают ее
значение («много, большое количество»).
По данному принципу учащимся нужно догадаться о значении слова Polyglot
(предварительно переведена вторая часть слова греч. [glotos] – язык). Ученики
переводят слово – «человек, владеющий многими языками».
Учитель показывает на слайде определение «hyperpolyglot» почетного профессора
Университетского колледжа Лондона Ричарда Хадсона (см. Приложение)и задает
вопрос: Who is a hyperpolyglot?
Reading
Поисковое чтение
Учащиеся знакомятся с полиглотами современности, составляют рейтинг
полиглотов. Работа проводится в 2 группах.
1 группа – полиглоты Азии и Европы.
2 группа – полиглоты Африки и Америки.
Как вариант, можно разрезать тексты на части, чтобы учащиеся расставили части
текста согласно количеству языков, которым владеют полиглоты.
After-Reading tasks
Послетекстовые задания - Совершенствование монологической речи учащихся
Учащиеся озвучивают результаты рейтинга.
Who takes the 1st (2nd, 3rd….) place? How many languages he (she) can speak?
The 1
st
place takes….. He can speak …languages.
2) What are these people? (Their professions)
Are they only linguists and scientists?
Учащиеся находят в тексте профессии полиглотов. Устанавливают, что полиглот –
не обязательно лингвист или ученый.
3) a teenage polyglot
Знакомство с американским полиглотом Тимоти Донером, который в возрасте 16 лет
уже говорил на 20 языках.
!!!! Сейчас Тима с большой натяжкой можно назвать подростком. Данный урок был
проведен в 2014 году, а родился молодой человек в 1995.
Главное, что нужно сказать, в каком возрасте он стал известен.
Before Fame - He began his YouTube channel on March 24, 2011. He published his first
video there on the same day.
In March 2012, he was profiled by the New York Times in an article titled "Adventures of
a Teenage Polyglot." His video "American Polyglot Practicing 20 Languages" has amassed
more than 3.5 million total views.

Рефлексия Подведение итогов
«What is the secret of polyglots?»
…Learning the 3
rd
language is easier than the 1
st
one. …
«What do you think what languages could you learn with the help of English
language?»…of Russian language?….of Chinese language?
I think I could learn…with the help of…
Домашнее задание:
1. Read the text.
2. Answer the questions:
-Who is Timothy Doner?
-How many languages can he speak (fluently)?
-Which languages are self-taught?
-What is he going to do after college?
1) TIMOTHY DONER looks like an ordinary American teenager. Medium-height and
slight, he arrives in a grey T-shirt and jeans.
2) The breathless title of a YouTube video about him rocketing around the internet tells
why: "Teen Speaks 20 languages." When I ask him how many languages he speaks, he offers a
different answer, though. One, really. That is, English. He is "very comfortable" in four or five
others, and "very serious" in studying two to four more at any time. Others he "dabbles in".
3) He could be quite a bit more boastful (хвастливый) than he is. The videos going round
the internet show him chatting with a bookshop owner in Urdu, responding to a teacher in his
Mandarin class, discussing the similarities between Hebrew and Arabic in Arabic, and giving short
monologues in languages from Indonesian to Swahili to Ojibwe (a North American Indian
language). The speed with which he learns, the comfort with which he speaks, and of course his
youth (молодость) make this nothing short of astonishing (удивление).
4) And after college? Everyone, naturally, asks him if he will be a spy, which he laughs
off. In any case, he is by now too well-known to disappear into the shadows. Diplomacy interests
him, though. And America's foreign service would be lucky to have him.
