Подготовка к ЕГЭ по английскому языку. Из опыта работы.
статья по английскому языку (11 класс)

— Nowadays, knowledge of at least one foreign language is a must. But knowing a foreign language  does not mean to know the rules of grammar, reading, or writing. Language is necessary in order to communicate it in the way you speak  your  mother tongue. So today we are going to speak about some methods which will help us to develop communicative abilities of our students.

-The goal of every   teacher is a 100% English of course.  Very often it seems unrealistic for us. But why is it so difficult to make the  students  speak English?

-The greatest problems are: students’ shyness, little vocabulary and  lack of English language around them. One of the problems is that while speaking students always try to translate from their native language. Instead , they must try  to think  in English. We will solve these problems if we will follow some tips.

Tip 1:  (and the most important one).  A teacher must speak English all the time .

Tip 2: Arrange the classroom so that students are sitting in rows facing each other.

-The advantage of such sitting is that  direct eye contact  improves communication in English and  it is a very easy  way to change partners.

Tip  3: Give the students confidence, when they are speaking. Don’t interrupt them to correct their grammar mistakes. As  when it comes to speaking confidence is the key.

Tip 4: We must choose topics for speaking, interesting for students. For example , if we need to speak about famous people, take Steve Jobs instead of Agatha Christie . Be sure that they will speak about him with pleasure. Now let me know your opinion. What topics are interesting for students ?

-I have questioned my students on the topic what they would like to speak about. And the opinion poll showed that the most interesting topics are:

1. Computers and telephones (33%)
2. Films and famous actors (24%)
3. Modern music (21%)
4. Sport (19%)
5. Tourist countries (3%)

— And now let me show you  what exercises  I use to make my students speak at the lesson. I’ll use music topic, as it is one of the most popular topics.

-Very often I combine speaking and listening  items. I will give you some papers. There are the words of a famous English song. But there are some missing words . You are to listen to the song and to fill in the blanks.

There comes a time when we ____________________________
When the world must come together as one

There are _____________________________
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
There greatest gift of all

We can’t go on pretending _________________________
That someone somewhere will soon make a change

We are all a part of God’s great big ______________
And the truth, you know,________________________ we need

— Did you like this song?

-what is this song about?

-What do the singers call on?

Now I would like you to listen to different kinds of music and express your emotions caused by music.

Примерный план ответа

In conclusion, I want to say “Tell me and I’ll forget it, show me and I’ll remember it, let me act myself and I’ll understand it”. So let ‘s help  our students act themselves and achieve great  results in English. Thank you for your attention!
