Подготовка учащихся к ЕГЭ. Говорение (из опыта работы)

Разделы: Иностранные языки


На настоящий момент в раздел "Говорение" входит монологическое высказывание и диалогическое рассуждение по заданной ситуации.

Как готовить учащихся к монологическому высказыванию по ситуации?

Экзаменационное высказывание по тематической ситуации проходит в течение 2-х минут. Чтобы подвести учащихся к успешному выполнению задания, необходимы предварительные задания по совершенствованию разговорных навыков.

1 этап - высказывание в течение 1 минуты по тематической ситуации с использованием опор.

Для того, чтобы учащиеся могли высказаться самостоятельно, а не воспроизвести заученный текст, нужна помощь в виде речевых образцов, разговорных клише, таблиц, схем, блоков. Другие учащиеся могут добавить, не согласиться с мнением говорящего и выдвинуть своё мнение. Таким образом проходит дискуссия по обсуждаемой ситуации.

Пример 1. Topic "Education and School Life" (монологическое высказывание)

Give a 1-minute talk on these situations:

  1. Do you think good education should prepare you for life in general or for a particular job? Give your reasons.

Как готовить учащихся к диалогу по ситуации?

Второе экзаменационное задание предполагает диалог с целью обмена оценочной информацией. Студенту предлагается какая-то проблема / ситуация и обычно четыре варианта её решения. Задача студента обсудить все предложенные варианты и прийти к обоюдному согласию (с экзаменатором) решения данной проблемы. Я предлагаю студентам работать над двумя типами диалогов:

  1. диалог с обменом информацией (ролевая игра)
  2. диалог с обменом оценочной информацией (модулированная ситуация)

Первый этап подготовки – составить свой диалог на основе готовых диалогов и выучить его. Контроль диалогической речи проводится в классе (пары постоянного состава), но это контроль подготовленной речи дома.

Второй этап подготовки – учитель задаёт ситуацию (т.е. ученики знают тематическую ситуацию заранее и могут повторить лексический материал), а для парной беседы в классе учитель сам выбирает пары (т.е. ученики не знают, кто с кем будет беседовать и как будет развиваться беседа). Контроль диалогической речи проводится в классе (пары сменного состава), при этом речь неподготовлена заранее.

Третий этап подготовки – учитель задаёт только тему, по которой будет проходить беседа, но учащиеся не знают ни ситуацию, ни собеседника. В данном варианте проходит контроль неподготовленной речи.

При обучении диалогу большое значение имеет обучение спонтанному реагированию на реплики партнёра. Естественно, диалог не может звучать вне тематической ситуации. Источником порождения диалогической речи может быть тематическая ситуация, основанная на программе школьного курса, (например, “В магазине”, “Разговор по телефону” и т.п.) или на свободном общении (интервью, дискуссия, диспут).

A Help!

  - +
Train They travel too fast, so we won’t be able to see much. We’ll have to change trains. Some trains aren't very comfortable and if you sleep on the upper berth, you may be afraid of falling down. Sometimes the neighbours in the compartment are unpleasant and very talkative. It's not expensive. You cab buy a return ticket and spend the rest of your money on other things. We’ll be able to see much as trains cover very long distances. Trains in the UK are very comfortable. They are always on time. There are no traffic jams.
Ship A cruise holiday can be too expensive for us. There is usually nothing much to see in the ports. Young people may feel lonely and get bored. You may be sea-sick. You have to follow a strict time-table and are not able to explore places as much as you'd like. I think it’s the most comfortable and relaxing way of traveling. We’ll be given a chance to see many different sights at each port within a short time. We don’t have to worry about travel arrangements during the trip and we can spend all day sunbathing and swimming. Many ships have swimming pools.
Bicycle We’ll never be protected from weather (sunny or rainy). It’s very tiring. We can’t take much luggage with us. It's dangerous as a cyclist can be knocked over. It's not good for long trips. It’s a well-balanced combination of rest and exercise. It’s very economical. We’ll be able to stop where we want. It's environmentally friendly. We are not afraid of traffic jams.
Car We can get into traffic jams on motorways and that’s very stressful. I always get tired of sitting in a chair for a long time. I get sick travelling long distances. Petrol is expensive. It's difficult to find a parking lot. Travelling by car is safer and more comfortable than walking. We don’t have to look for a seat. We can leave when we want and we can stop when we want, we don't depend on time table. We can take more luggage.
