Обучение в форме образовательных потоков
По иностранному языку совместное обучение учащихся двух и более классов одной параллели (потоками) не является целесообразным.
В частично-поточной форме организации обучения иностранному языку совместные занятия целесообразно использовать по отдельным темам и для отдельных видов деятельности. Например:
– лекционное изложение лингвострановедческой темы;
– просмотр фильмов и другой видеопродукции;
– занятия в игровой и соревновательной форме (деловые игры);
– письменные контрольные мероприятия;
– презентация учебных проектов и результатов исследовательской работы и т.д.
