Одним из заданий на выпускную квалификационную работу, полученных от моего руководителя было разработать проект на английском языке на региональном материале (о Сибири, Новосибирске и Татарске). Изучая методическую литературу по использованию метода проектов, меня заинтересовал опыт О.Ф. Дурницыной (средняя школа с.Опарино, Топкинский
район, Кемеровская область), разработавшей проект «Добро пожаловать в Россию!» на основе материала о Кузбассе и Кемеровской области. [6]
Взяв за основу идею О.Ф. Дурницыной, мы разработали проект с таким же названием «Добро пожаловать в Россию!», но на материале своего региона.
Мне не удалось апробировать разработанный урок-проект, т. к. во время преддипломной практики я не проводила уроки английского языка в 8 классе,
но в предстоящей профессиональной деятельности я обязательно найду применение своему разработанному уроку-проекту.
В конце изучения темы «Не хотели бы вы отправиться в Великобританию?» учащимся предлагается «пригласить иностранных гостей в Россию и организовать для них путешествие».
Название проекта: «Добро пожаловать в Россию!» ( Welcome to Russia!»)
Тип проекта: смешанный (информационный и творческий), по продолжительности – краткосрочный.
При подготовке проекта учащиеся нацеливаются на поиск материалов краеведческого характера, что в значительной степени усиливает воспитательный потенциал предмета.
Цели урока:
• познавательный аспект – увеличение объема знаний об особенностях культуры родной страны; знакомство с достопримечательностями Москвы, Санкт-Петербурга, Новосибирска и Татарска, как малой Родины учащихся.
• развивающий аспект – развитие творческих способностей учащихся, способности к сравнению и сопоставлению полученных знаний, способности
их логически излагать;
• воспитательный аспект – осознание понятий «Родина» и «малая Родина», более глубокое осознание своей культуры;
• учебный аспект – развитие речевых умений.
Задачи урока:
- совершенствование речевых умений по теме;
- совершенствование умений аудировать с целью извлечения необходимой
информации;
