ХОД УРОКА:

Teacher: Dear friends! Welcome to our party. It is devoted to the European Languages’ Day (September, 26). Слайд 2

We are going to talk about world languages. I hope you will learn many interesting facts at the party.

Pupil 1: The modern world is becoming smaller all the time. Every day distances between different countries seem less. For this reason it’s becoming more and more important to know different languages, especially English.

P 2: Have you ever wondered how many people are who speak English?

It’s quite a number! It is around 400 million people. Geographically, English is the most widespread language on earth, and it is second only to Chinese in the number of people who speak it.

   It is spoken in the British Isles, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and much of Canada and South Africa. (Показывает на карте)  Слайд 3

P3: English is also a second language of another300 million people living in more than 60 countries. In Shakespeare’s time only a few million people spoke English. All of them lived in what is now Great Britain. Слайд 4

Through the centuries, as a result of various historical events, English spread throughout the world.

P4: Five hundred years ago English was not spoken in North America: The American Indians had their own languages. So did the Eskimos in Canada, the oborigines in Australia, and the Maoris in New Zealand. The English arrived and set up their colonies.

Today, English is represented in every continent and in the three main oceans—the Atlantic, the Indian and the Pacific. Слайд 5

-About 5,000 languages and dialects are still spoken in the world today.

-About 845 come from India.

- After English and Chinese, the next commonly spoken language is Spanish.

-Sixty-five different alphabets are used in the world today.

-The language with most letters is Cambodian. It has 72 letters!

-The language with the most vowels is Sedang, a Vietnamese language, with 55 vowels sounds.

-The language with the least vowels is Abkhazian. It has only two vowels sounds!

-Chippewa, the North American Indian language of Minnesota, has 6,000 verb forms!

-No language is knows without the vowel a.  Слайд 6

P5: People have long been interested in having one language that could be spoken throughout the world. Such a language would help to increase cultural and economic ties and simplify communication between people. Through the years, at least 600 universal languages have been proposed, including    Esperanto. About 10 million people have learned Esperanto since its creation in 1887, but English, according to specialists, has better chances to become a global language.

So why not learn it?  Слайд 7
