You should practice as much as possible to gain more control on your gestures while speaking.

Practice all the gestures of your public speaking presentation many times before you actually present.

The Volkov Drama Theatre. …So the year 1750 is considered to be the foundation of the theater. Volkov commissioned the construction of the first theater. The court learned about Volkov and his theater and invited him to St. Petersburg. When Catherine II came to power Volkov wrote a libretto of a great street performance dedicated to her. He took part in it, caught cold and rather soon he died. But his idea was followed by his pupils and friends……_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

На наш взгляд, данные предложения практического характера актуальны и поэтому могут быть использованы в работе учителя иностранного языка.
Их актуальность вижу в том, что:
- Предложенные варианты проведения уроков и внеклассных мероприятий способны вызвать интерес у детей и способны решить задачи обучения английскому языку.
- В них наблюдается тесное взаимодействие процесса обучения с жизнью школьника (отмечают современные праздники, обсуждают проблемы современной молодёжи). Обучение рассматривается как способ познания окружающего, а не как обязательный предмет школьной программы.
- Участие в таких уроках позволяет учащимся пробовать свои силы, узнавать насколько они способны принять правильное решение в различных сложных ситуациях.
- Данные разработки учитывают психологические особенности возраста.
- Такие формы уроков позволяют каждому ребёнку проявить свою индивидуальность, почувствовать свой успех.
- Проведение Н.У. позволяет учителю перейти на личностно- ориентированную модель общения. Учитель выступает в роли речевого партнёра, интересного собеседника.
- Оценка на таких уроках выставляется не за конкретные ответы, а за активность ребёнка, за его знания и умения, продемонстрированные в процессе всего занятия. Это поддерживает желание ребёнка заниматься на протяжении всего урока.
