Пословицы и поговорки в обучении английскому языку

В процессе обучения английскому языку важную роль играет использование пословиц и поговорок, которые помогают учащимся овладеть не только аспектами языка : произношением, грамматикой, лексикой и говорением.

Из опыта моей работы одним из эффективных приемов обеспечения интереса у учащихся является использование пословиц и поговорок на разных этапах обучения.

Использование пословиц и поговорок с одной стороны способствует лучшему овладению предметом, расширяя знания о языке, лексический запас учащихся, с другой стороны, их учение представляет собой дополнительный источник страноведческих знаний.

Пословицы и поговорки я использую при обучении грамматике. Они, являясь средством выражения мысли и реализуя изучаемые формы или конструкции в речи, способствуют автоматизации и активации данных грамматических форм и конструкций.
