Задания по аудированию для 7–9-х классов к пособию "Easy English"

Аудирование проверяет уровень понимания и извлечения информации из устного сообщения. Само по себе аудирование считается достаточно сложным видом работы, которая требует большого внимания и сосредоточенности. Ранее над заданиями предполагалось работать по памяти после прослушивания текста, как и с текстами по чтению. Обычно текст прослушивался дважды, а затем учащиеся получали образцы заданий. Теперь тексты по аудированию также меняются. Учащимся предлагается одновременное прослушивание и выполнение заданий. Это означает, что текст по аудированию максимально приближается к естественной обстановке. Ведь в обычной жизни, слушая речь другого человека, мы и наблюдаем, и имеем возможность реагировать. Те же условия создаются и текстом по аудированию, то есть учащийся одновременно слышит, видит и реагирует. Кроме того, в современных текстах предлагаются не только монологи, но и диалоги. В таких текстах могут быть и шумовое сопровождение, и идиоматические выражения.

Задания в таких тестах многообразны. Обычно перед началом прослушивания предлагается короткое время для ознакомления с заданиями и требованиями по его выполнению. Ответы обычно даются в краткой форме.

Задания по аудированию могут быть такие, как:

• заполнение таблиц;
• определение местонахождения по карте или схеме;
• множественный выбор;
• соотнесение друг с другом фраз или частей предложения;
• подстановка слов, цифровых значений;
• ответы на вопросы;
• заполнение схемы, диаграммы, бланка;
• комплектование предложений;
• вывод основной идеи и другие виды работ.

Тексты по аудированию проверяют умения учащихся:

• извлекать специфическую и фактическую информацию из прослушанного;
• идентифицировать говорящих;
• идентифицировать отношения между идеями и приведённой информацией;
• устанавливать причину и следствие, порядок следования событий, сравнивать.

Они также проверяют умение следовать устным инструкциям и наставлениям, идентифицировать имена, даты, время, время; распознавать, что сообщает говорящий - факты, предложения или мнения, делать заключения и выбор.

Данные задания разработаны по текстам из журналов Easy English известного издательства Oxford Education UK, курс которых получил одобрение во многих странах. Он одобрен Министерством Образования России.
