ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ

Роль дисциплины «Иностранный язык»

в системе социально-гуманитарных дисциплин

Основная цель дисциплины «Иностранный язык (по профессиональной направленности)» - формирование необходимой коммуникативной возможности в сферах профессионального и ситуативного общения в устной и письменной формах.

Актуальность проблемы можно объяснить целым рядом обстоятельств. Так, основным направлением модернизации профессиональной высшей школы на современном этапе развития предусматривает прежде всего повышение качества усвоения общеобразовательных и профессиональных знаний, практической и творческой подготовки студентов .

Иностранный язык, как учебная дисциплина может и должна внести свой вклад в процесс развития творческих способностей студентов. Обладая огромным воспитательным , образовательным и развивающим потенциалом творческих способностей подростков, иностранный язык может реализовать его лишь в ходе осуществления практической цели обучения, то есть только в том случае, если студент в процессе иноязычной коммуникативно-познавательной деятельности (слушая, говоря, читая, пользуясь письмом) будет расширять свой общеобразовательный кругозор , развивать свое мышление, память, чувства и эмоции; если в процессе иноязычного общения будут формироваться социально-ценностные качества личности: мировоззрение, нравственные ценности и убеждения, черты характера.

Творческая деятельность дает студентам широкие возможности для проявления собственной индивидуальности. Непосредственное, активное участие их в данной деятельности, на доступном уровне сложности, раскрывает большие перспективы в деле комплексного развития и формирования творческого потенциала личности. Кроме того, постигая секреты английского языка, подростки знакомятся с удивительным миром западного человека, с его мировоззрением и т.д.

Воздействуя на личность, формирование творческих способностей обогащает эмоциональный и практический опыт, развивает психику, формирует интеллектуальный потенциал, способствует воспитанию эстетических и умственных способностей, ведет к накоплению профессиональных навыков и умений, развитию природных задатков , их нравственных качеств. Оно настраивает на дальнейшую, активную творчески-осознанную деятельность подростков, что отвечает их духовным потребностям, удовлетворяет их стремление к самореализации и проявлению личностных качеств. Все это является эффективным средством комплексного развития личности, выявления формирования ее творческого потенциала.

Практическое занятие в форме занятия – путешествия является одной из форм нетрадиционного занятия. Занятие комбинированное с доминированием учебной мотивации, при ведущей роли говорения и аудирования.

Занятия-путешествия как нельзя лучше способствуют формированию активной личности, обладающей не только определенным запасом знаний, но и умением получать их самостоятельно. Необычные по форме, такие занятия вызывают большой интерес у студентов, хорошо развивают творческие способности. Особенно важно то, что на таких занятиях создаются благоприятные условия для коллективной учебной деятельности. Эффективность занятия повышается через развитие творческих способностей студентов.

Занятие проводится с целью обобщения и закрепления изученного материала.

Были предложены следующие подходы к построению занятия:

При предъявлении студентам учебного материала, ставить конкретную цель, определяющую организацию учебной работы;

Излагать учебный материал таким образом, чтобы он расширял объём знаний и преобразовывал личный опыт каждого студента;

Использовать различные формы индивидуальной работы на занятии;

Проводить работу с раздаточным материалом, работу в парах, группах, работу с различными опорами;

Стараться активно стимулировать студентов к самостоятельной деятельности.

Одной из технологий, обеспечивающей личностно-ориентированное обучение, является метод проектов, как способ развития творчества, познавательной деятельности, самостоятельности. Студентам на дом было задано домашнее задание опережающего характера: подготовить мультимедийные презентации по темам «Географическое положение Великобритании», «Достопримечательности Великобритании» и «Выдающиеся личности Великобритании». Студенты работали со справочной литературой, словарями, компьютером, тем самым создав возможность прямого контакта с аутентичным языком, чего не даёт изучение языка только с помощью учебника на занятии.

На занятии использовался еще один метод интерактивного обучения – ролевая игра. Студентам было предложено поставить себя в жизненные ситуации, которые могут возникнуть вне аудитории, в реальной жизни во время путешествий за границу. Существенным преимуществом ролевой игры перед другими формами обучения является 100% занятость студентов, а также концентрация внимания участников в течение всей игры.

covers an area of 360 acres. Beneath Hyde Park there is a car park for 500 cars and also a tube station. On the north of Hyde Park there is a very famous place called ‘Speaker’s Corner’ where, only on Sundays, any person can talk on any subject. One of the most famous speakers there is Lord Soper who is a politician. Here you will see what we call “hecklers”. They are people who try to upset the person speaking. It is well worth a visit on Sunday from 10.00 until they finish.

TRAFALGAR SQUARE is a very famous square where on New Year’s Eve people gather to celebrate. At midnight people jump into the fountains fully clothed and enjoy themselves. In the middle of the square there is a very famous statue “Nelson’s Column” which is over 170 feet high. The statue on the top is in memory of Lord Horatio Nelson who won the most famous sea battle at Trafalgar. This column is cleaned once every seven years. It is a very difficult job as they have to climb to the top and clean all the mess the pigeons have made on the statue. Trafalgar Square has become famous as a rallying point for all kinds of demonstrations, marches and political meetings.

NATIONAL GALLERY . The whole of the north side of Trafalgar Square is dominated by the National Gallery. It houses one of the finest art collections in the world. It includes paintings from British, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Flemish and other famous schools. It has a priceless collection of paintings by the famous artists Van Gogh, Reubens, Constable and any other painter you wish to name.

THE TOWER OF LONDON is a very old building, – nine hundred years old! In the early days of England the English kings lived in the Tower. Then it was a prison where many people died. Black ravens had much food near the walls of the Tower in those days. Now the Tower of London is a museum housing the National Collection of Armour and Royal Regalias, and many tourists from other countries come to see it. They see the dark stone halls with small windows and thick doors. Something that should not be missed is the Crown Jewels, a priceless collection of every jewel known. The Tower is still guarded by the Yeomen Warders, the famous Beefeaters, who wear a traditional sixteen-century uniform.

Was opened in 1894. It takes its name from the Tower of London. The hydraulic mechanism can raise and lower the bridge in about one and a half minutes. The covered walkway between the two towers is open to the public and offers a spectacular view of London.

ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL . The City’s greatest monument, St. Paul’s Cathedral was built by Sir Christopher Wren between 1675 and 1710 to replace the old Cathedral that was largely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. The Cathedral is second in size only to St. Peter’s in Rome. Between the two west towers rises the famous dome. It is 365 feet high and beneath it is the celebrated “Whispering Gallery”. Unfortunately Christopher Wren died before its completion. He is buried there. Among the many memorials to famous men within the Cathedral are the tombs of Wellington, victor of Waterloo, and Nelson, hero of Trafalgar.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE is the official residence of Her Majesty the Queen and her family. It isn’t open to the public. The first monarch who took residence there was Queen Victoria. When Her Majesty is in residence the Royal Standard flies over the east front of Buckingham Palace. It has 600 hundred rooms, a swimming pool, a cinema, a ballroom, a nuclear cellar and a garden, which is like a private park. In summer the Queen gives three garden parties for about 9,000 guests. The ceremony of the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is a great tourist attraction. It take place daily in the forecourt at 11.30 a.m. and lasts half an hour. To the sound of music, the guardsmen in their traditional bearskins arrive and pass the palace keys to another group.

THE THAMES is not a long river. It is three hundred and thirty kilometres long and it flows into the sea. The English people call it “the Father of London”. London began on the Thames. When we go in a ship up the Thames we pass under London Bridge, the Tower Bridge and others. There is a museum of old ships on the Thames. These ships are from the history of Great Britain. One of these ships, the “Discovery”, went to the South Pole from 1901–1904. If we go down the Thames we pass the Port of London and arrive in Greenwich – a very old town. We can see the place where the Greenwich Meridian passes.

Is a symbol of English tradition at its best. The coronations of nearly all English kings and queens since William the Conqueror have taken place here. Many of them are buried within the Abbey. Beneath the roof of this Gothic building there are also the graves and memorial slabs of statesmen, philosophers, men of letters and other distinguished people. Here you can see memorials to Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Geoffrey Chaucer, Alfred Tennyson, Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy.

BIG BEN. The Houses of Parliament is a very large building which stands near the Thames. There are two tall towers at the corners of the building and one of them is the Clock Tower. It is 320 feet high and is famous for its immense hour bell. The English people built the tower and the clock in 1858. The clock has four faces and five big bells. The biggest bell is known as Big Ben. The bell weighs 13 tons. Originally, the man in charge of the building was Sir Benjamin Hall. He was very tall and the workers and his friends called him Big Ben. So they called the bell Big Ben too. Sometimes people call the clock and the Clock Tower Big Ben. The people of London who live near the Houses of Parliament can hear the sounds of the bell every hour. On New Year’s night people come to the Clock Tower to see in the New Year.

THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT . Once a royal palace, the Houses of Parliament are now the seat of the Government. In 1834 it was destroyed by fire. The new building was built between 1840–1852. It contains 500 apartments. Among them are the Central Hall, Clock Tower (St. Stephen’s Tower), the House of Lords, the House of Commons. The Houses of Parliament stretch for nearly 1000 feet along the north bank of the Thames. When the House is in session a Union Jack flies from the tower by day, and a light burns in the Clock Tower by night.

4 . "The British Parliament"

1. Прочтите текст .

1. The British Parliament is the oldest in the world. It originated in th 12th century as Witenagemot, the body of wise cancellers whom the King needed to consult pursuing his policy. The British Parliament consists of the House of Lords and the House of Commons and the Queen as its head. The House of Commons plays the major role in law-making. It consists of Members of Parliament (called MPs for short). Each of them represents an area in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. MPs are elected either at a general election or at a by-election following the death or retirement. Parliamentary elections are held every 5 years and it is the Prime Minister who decides on the exact day of the

election. The minimum voting age is 18. And the voting is taken by secret ballot. The election campaign lasts about 3 weeks.

2. The British parliamentary system depends on political parties. The party which wins the majority of seats forms the government and its leader usually becomes Prime Minister. The Prime Minister chooses about 20 MPs from his party to become the cabinet of ministers. Each minister is responsible for a particular area in the government. The second largest party becomes the official

opposition with its own leader and "shadow cabinet". The leader of the opposition is a recognized post in the House of Commons.

3. The parliament and the monarch have different roles in the government and they only meet together on symbolic occasions, such as coronation of a new monarch or the opening of the parliament.

In reality, the House of Commons is the one of three which has true power. The House of Commons is made up of six hundred and fifty elected members, it is presided over by the speaker, a member acceptable to the whole house. MPs sit on two sides of the hall, one side for the governing party and the other for the opposition. The first 2 rows of seats are occupied by the leading members of both parties (called "front benches") The back benches belong to the rank-and-life MPs. Each session of the House of Commons lasts for 160-175 days. Parliament has intervals during his work. MPs are paid for their parliamentary work and have to attend the sittings.

4. As mention above, the House of Commons plays the major role in law making. The procedure is the following: a proposed law ("a bill") has to go through three stages in order to become an act of parliament, these are called "readings". The first reading is a formality and is simply the publication of the proposal. The second reading involves debate on the principles of the bill, it is examination by parliamentary committee. And the third reading is a report stage, when the work of the committee is reported on to the house. This is usually the most important stage in the process. When the bill passes through the House of Commons, it is sent to the House of Lords for discussion, when the Lords agree it, the bill is taken to the Queen for royal assent, when the Queen sings the bill, it becomes act of the Parliament and the Law of the Land.

5 .The House of Lords has more than 1000 members, although only about 250

take an active part in the work in the house. Members of this Upper House are not elected, they sit there because of their rank, the chairman of the House of Lords is the Lord Chancellor. And he sits on a special seat, called "Woolsack"

The members of the House of Lords debate the bill after it has been passed by the House of Commons. Some changes may be recommended and the agreement between the two houses is reached by negotiations.

5. London

1.Прочтите, переведите текст и выполните задания.

A s well as being the capital of England, London is the capital of the United Kingdom. L ondon is a city which was never planned. It has accumulated. So, it includes the City of London, the West End and the East End. The city is really large – more than 8 million people live in so-called Greater London – that is, London and its suburbs. It stands on the both sides of the river Thames and 14 bridges span the river. The Thames, described variously as “liquid history” and the “noblest river in Europe” is graced in London with a score of bridges, tunnels and a barrier, but until 1750, when the first Westminster Bridge opened, London Bridge was the one and the only. The first one built in stone from 1176 to 1209 became renowned throughout Europe for its houses and a chapel dedicated to St Thomas of Canterbury. Several of London bridges have special features – Hammersmith Bridge has ornamental metal work and Vauxhall has larger than life bronze figures representing pottery, engineering, architecture, agriculture, science, fine arts, local government and education. Among the boats which ply the river, few attract more attention than the Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Race.

L ondon was founded by the Romans in 43 A. D. and was called Londinium. In 61 A. D. the town was burned down and when it was rebuilt by the Romans it was surrounded by a wall. That area within the wall is now called the City of London . It is a financial and business center of the country. The Stock Exchange, the Bank of England, offices of major banks and companies are all there. People only come to the City to work, nobody lives there, and at night it becomes deserted.

H ere is situated the Tower of London. The Tower was built by William the Conqueror who conquered England in 1066. The Tower of London has been “fortress, palace, home of the Crown Jewels and national treasures, arsenal, mint, prison, observatory, zoo and tourist attraction”, wrote the Duke of Edinburgh in a book celebrating the Tower’s 900 th anniversary. It is interesting to mention the tradition connected with the history of Tower. The royal menagerie departed to the Zoo in 1834, leaving only the ravens behind. Tradition says that if the ravens leave, the Tower and the country will fall. So Beefeaters – Warders of the Tower - give ravens meat every night.

T he finest part of London is the West End with long streets of fine shops, theaters, picture gallery. T here are beautiful parks in the West End, such as St James’s Park, Green Park, Kensington Gardens, and Hyde Park with its Speaker’s Corner there you can go up on a platform and speak freely on the topic that you find vital. The Royal Parks are central London‘s lungs. Bands play beside lakes, parks have cafes and art galleries.

T he Houses of Parliament with its Big Ben, the chimes of which are heard throughout the world on the BBC World Service are also in the West End W hite Hall and Downing Street are also in the West End. White Hall is a street where most government offices are situated, and I have already mentioned that No. 10, Downing Street is the official residence of the British Prime Ministers for more than 250 years. The famous cul-de-sac of Downing Street was created by Sir George Downing, member of Parliament, around 1680. Number 10 is one of the original Downing Street houses to survive. No 10, with the most photographed door in the world, is guarded outside by a single policeman. By the way the nick-name of British policemen are “bobbies”, because of Sir Robert Peel, who formed the police force.

T he Queen, when she is in London, lives in Buckingham Palace. Buckingham Palace facing the white marble and gilded Queen Victoria memorial, flies the royal standard when the Queen is in residence. Today the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh have private suites in the North Wing, overlooking Green Park. Their home is open to around 30.000 guests in summer, attending garden parties. The entry costs around 20 pounds a person. The gardens have a lake, cascading water and the wild life include flamingoes. From the Palace the Queen leaves on ceremonial duties such as the State Opening of Parliament in early winter and Trooping the colour to mark her official birthday in June.

T he architecture of London is very impressive. There is St. Paul’s Cathedral, for example, where a lot of famous people were buried. The National and Tate Galleries contain many masterpieces of art.

W estminster Abbey has been the setting for every monarch’s coronation, beginning with Edward the Confessor, a saintly man who came to the throne in 1040. The Abbey presents a pageant of noble, military, political and artistic history. It has the graves of queens and kings, of poets, politicians and churchmen. And the High Altar still contains the body of Edward the Confessor, the Abbey’s founder.

W estminster Cathedral is the leading Roman Catholic Church in England. It was built half a mile from the Abbey. The single bell in the 280 foot high campanile is dedicated (like the Chapel in the Abbey) to Edward the Confessor. This gift from Gwendolen, Duchess of Norfolk, is inscribed “St Edward, pray for England”.

T he East End is something quite different. It is the industrial part of London. There are factories and docks there, and blocks of flats where working people live. They form quite a contrast to what we can see in the West End.

Some facts from biography of Robert Burns

The work of the Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796) is characterized by realism, intense feeling, and metrical virtuosity. His best work is in Scots, the vernacular of southern Scotland, and he is one of the greatest authors in that language of the last 4 centuries.

Robert Burns was born in Alleyway, Yorkshire, on Jan. 25, 1759, in the cottage of hard-working farmer parents. He grew up in the general atmosphere of dour Scottish Calvinism, but his father"s moderate religious views helped instill in Burns a spirit of tolerance and of rebellion against the grimmer doctrines of Calvinism. Although Burn’s formal schooling was skimpy, he read avidly and for a time had a good tutor in John Murdoch, who gave him a thorough grounding in the 18th-century genteel tradition of English literature .

The family worked hard on their Yorkshire farm, and the arduousness of his labor in adolescence was to have a crippling effect in the long run on Robert"s health. And troubles with landlords and their agents were helping to foster in him the egalitarianism and rebelliousness against privilege which became prominent themes in his poetry. In 1784 his father died in bankruptcy, and the family then moved a few miles away to Mossfield. (By the end of his short life he was to have fathered fourteen children, nine of them out of wedlock, by six different mothers.)

My Heart"s in the Highlands.

My heart"s in the Highlands, a chasing the deer;

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,

The birthplace of velour, the country of worth:

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

Farewell to the mountains high cover"d with snow;

Farewell to the straits and green valleys below;

Farewell to the forests and wild-handing woods;

Farewell to the torrents and loud pouring floods.

My heart"s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;

My heart"s in the Highlands’, a chasing the deer;

A-chasing the wild deer, and following the roe -

My heart in the Highlands wherever I go.

7. British Holidays and Traditions

1. Прочтиайте и текст и выполните задания к тексту.

Great Britain is an old country and it has a lot of holidays and interesting traditions. Holidays in the country are historic and public. Most public holidays are called bank holidays because banks, companies and most shops do not work on these days. Such holidays include New Year"s Day, Easter Monday and others.

At Easter , the British give each other chocolate eggs, which they eat on Easter Sunday.

Christmas is on the 25-th of December. Families spend this day together. For many people this is the most important holiday of the year. Family members wrap up their presents and put them under the Christmas tree. Children hang colorful socks at the end of their beds for presents. They believe that Father Frost puts presents inside the socks.

New Year"s Day is not as important in Britain as it is in Russia. People usually make promises to themselves such as to give up smoking, to change their lifestyle and others.

St. Valentine"s Day is celebrated on the 14-th of February. This is the traditional day for those who are in love. Young people give flowers and greeting cards to their Valentines and celebrate this day together.

Halloween is a holiday loved by all children. It takes place on the 31-th of October. There are a lot of parties and people dress up in costumes of witches and ghosts and make lanterns of pumpkins with a candle inside. People also play different games and have fun. Children usually go from one house to another with empty baskets or bags, knock on doors and say: Trick or treat. People should give them something, or they will play a trick on them.

Among historic holidays, Guy Fawkes Night can be mentioned. In the 15-th century, a group of people with Guy Fawkes as their leader decided to blow up the Houses of Parliament. They did not manage to do this and Guy Fawkes was caught and hanged. Since then the British celebrate this day burning a doll made of straw and dressed in old clothes on a bonfire. Children dress in old clothes and beg in the street saying: A penny for the Guy.

There are a lot of customs in Great Britain. One of the most famous is gardening . Most of the English keep small gardens full of flowers behind their houses or around them. In spring, there are a lot of flower-shows and vegetable-shows with prizes for the best exhibitions.

In Northern Ireland there is a holiday called St. Patrick"s Day . It is celebrated on the 17-th of March. On this day people wear green clothes and drink Irish beer. There are carnivals and barbeques all over the country.

Великобритания

Объединенное королевство Великобритании и Северной Ирландии расположено на Британских островах. Они лежат на севере Европы и отделены от континента узким проливом. Он называется Английским каналом. На британский климат оказывают влияние моря и океаны. Зимой бывает слишком холодно, но летом никогда не бывает слишком жарко.

Объединенное королевство состоит из 4 частей – Англии, Уэльса, Шотландии и Северной Ирландии. У каждой части своя столица. Столица Англии Лондон, Шотландии – Эдинбург, Уэльса – Кардиф, а главный город Северной Ирландии –Белфаст.

Столица Великобритании – Лондон, это культурный центр страны, и он расположен на берегах Темзы. В нем много достопримечательностей, которые можно посетить – Биг Бен, Тауэрский мост через реку Темзу, Интернациональный аэропорт Хитроу, Вестминстерское Аббатство, Национальная Галерея Искусства и много других.

В Британии живет около 64 миллионов людей, большинство из них англичане, Ирландцы и шотландцы. У всех них особые традиции для праздников, они готовят особую еду для фестивалей. Все члены семьи принимают участие в этих событиях. Люди в Британии вежливы и добры.

Многие известные люди родились в Британии. Один из них Уильям Шекспир, который написал трагедии “Ромео и Джульетта”, “Гамлет”, “Макбет” и много других пьес. Уильям Шекспир Родился в 1564 году и жил в Страдфорде на Эйвоне с женой и детьми. Шекспир умер в 1616 году.

Великобритания считается государством будущего. Я мечтаю о том, чтобы посетить Лондон и полюбоваться сами прекрасными видами столицы Объединенного Королевства и надеюсь, что эта мечта когда-нибудь сбудется.
