ПОЯСНИТЕЛЬНАЯ ЗАПИСКА
Пособие состоит из 5 разделов, посвященных художественным фильмам, принадлежащих к различным периодам мировой киноиндустрии. Каждый фильм делится на эпизоды, что позволяет достаточно тщательно проработать весь материал. Пособие направлено на развитие навыков аудирования и устной речи. Каждый из разделов начинается с представления нового лексического материала, использованного в эпизоде, который сопровождается упражнениями на совершенствование продуктивных навыков аудирования и устной речи. Присутствуют различные стили современной английской речи: официальный, нейтральный, разговорный, сленг. Упражнения на развитие лексических и коммуникационных навыков и тренировочные задания по аудированию помогают студентам справиться с пониманием достаточно сложного языка в фильмах и значительно расширить свой словарный запас.
Каждый раздел включает в себя следующие блоки: Vocabulary, Listening, Speaking, также особую ценность представляет сопутствующая энциклопедическая и культурологическая информация.
Представленные в пособии фильмы разработаны с учетом специфики обучения английскому языку на неязыковом факультете, так художественные фильмы «Мумия» и «Мумия возвращается», разработаны более детально и предназначены для обучения студентов как первого так и второго курса. Фильмы «Шаг вперед», «Как отделаться от парня за 10 дней» и «11 друзей Оушена», представляющие образец современной разговорной речи, рекомендуются для развития навыков аудирования также у студентов первого и второго курса. Рекомендуется работать с предложенными заданиями 15-20 минут в конце урока. Представленный вариант разработанных заданий по художественным фильмам рассчитан на несколько занятий, посвященных одному и тому же фильму. Пятый раздел методического пособия посвящен фильму «Пираты Карибского моря: сундук мертвеца». Данный раздел рассчитан на 2 аудиторных часа и содержит задания на понимание (пересказ) и на усвоение лексического материала (заполнение пропусков, перевод).
Учебное пособие предназначено для студентов неязыковых специальностей. При отборе аутентичного материала соблюдались принципы, отвечающие современным требованиям методики обучения иностранным языкам: мотивация, коммуникативность, интегрированный подход.
Рекомендуется начинать урок с разбора лексического материала для снятия трудностей при работе с эпизодом. Если группа имеет высокий уровень подготовленности, их можно рекомендовать для углубленного изучения языка. Более подробная разработка некоторых разделов способствует глубокому пониманию смысла фильмов и доскональной отработке лексического материала.
Очень важно, чтобы учащийся, работая над упражнениями, не выполнял их механически, формально, а всякий раз бы обдумывал, «переживал» сказанное.
