Контроль говорения английский язык "Spotlight 10-11"

Несмотря на многообразие различных видов упражнений на отработку различных навыков при изучении иностранного языка, основным остается умение вступать в коммуникацию с партнером.

Соответственно говорение – основной вид речевой деятельности, к становлению которого и направлены все упражнения и отработки в ходе изучения языка.

Современные УМК представляют широкое поле для разговора по различным темам, а так же, начиная с уровня Intermediate, есть тезисы, выступающие триггером у обучающегося к высказыванию своей точки зрения, чем не стоит пренебрегать учителю.

Однако образовательный процесс все же отличается от простого непринужденного разговора, т.к. есть контрольные точки, позволяющие произвести замер сформированости навыков говорения в соответствии с необходимой критериальной базой оценивания. Контрольные точки в плане говорения представлены сегодня в УМК редко. Задача учителя отобрать опорные тезисы темы и ввести лексический набор, затронутый в ходе изучения раздела.

В данной статье мы будем опираться на УМК Spotlight 10-11. Изучение раздела в этом комплексе начинается с отработки навыка чтения и он же запускает целый вокабуляр по теме модуля. Помимо того, что лексические единицы выделены в тексте, они так же вынесены в Word List в конце учебника, так же с тематическим разделением и цветовым акцентом на активный словарный запас.

С этого момента необходимо начинать введение в модуль. Зачастую на данную первую часть модуля - Reading Skills отводится по КТП 1 час. На базовом уровне этого недостаточно, т.к. именно эту часть нужно отработать лексически обширно и только потом приступать к совершенствованию навыка чтения.

Просто слова без ассоциативного ряда мало эффективны. Поэтому лексика должна быть услышана, отчитана, проговорена и закреплена в контексте собственном и по теме раздела. От того насколько плодотворно будет отработана и закреплена активная лексика модуля, будет зависеть успешность говорения обучающихся по пройденному вопросу. Именно с такими знаниями обучающиеся подойдут к контрольной точке говорения.

Таким образом, правильно сформированное начало изучения модуля, наполнит речь ребенка не только словами, но уже и готовыми предложениями по изучающейся проблеме. Собственно сама контрольная точка – говорение не займет более 2-х минут высказывания.

Как и в письменной речи, ответы по тезисным позициям должны быть полными: ответ + supporting sentence. (подтверждающее предложение / пример / точка зрения)

Ниже приведем опорные позиции к контролю говорения в соответствии с разделами УМК Spotlight 10-11. Так как это заключительная ступень среднего образования, предполагающая умение обучающихся работать с вокабуляром, внесение активных лексических единиц в само задание может вносится на усмотрение учителя.
