В современном мире иностранный язык является средством общения, познания, получения и накопления информации, что предопределяет необходимость владения всеми видами речевой деятельности: говорением и пониманием речи на слух на иностранном языке, чтением и письмом.
Как известно, практической целью обучения иностранному языку является овладение обучающимися коммуникативной компетенцией. При организации обучения иноязычной речевой деятельности, как правило, используется следующая схема последовательности функционирования речевых механизмов: рецепция – продукция.
Под «рецепцией» понимается восприятие и осознание поступающей извне информации в виде аудио- или графического текста. Текст является моделью иноязычного речевого произведения и, следовательно, служит образцом использования конкретного языкового и речевого материала. «Продукция» предполагает построение самостоятельного речевого произведения, дискурса, с использованием языковых и речевых средств восприятия текста.
Совершенно очевидно, что в процессе формирования навыков и умений говорения восприятие текста не сможет автоматически способствовать самостоятельному построению дискурса. Необходимо промежуточное звено, в рамках которого будет осуществляться тренировка языковых, речевых и содержательных средств текста для их дальнейшего использования в дискурсе.
Данная работа предполагает своей задачей рассмотреть:
- теоретические основы обучения иноязычной коммуникации на уроках иностранного языка;
- методическое обеспечение процесса развития навыков разговорной речи на уроках иностранного языка.
Окончательная конфигурация процесса обучения иноязычной коммуникации должна выглядеть следующим образом: рецепция (восприятие текста) – репродукция (пересказ текста) – продукция (посторенние дискурса).
Помимо пересказа существуют разнообразные виды трансформации исходного текста, такие как:
- краткое содержание воспринятого текста (summary);
- рассказ текста (story-telling);
- аннотация к тексту (blurb/synopsis/gist);
- реферирование (precis-writing);
- переложение / интерпретация (rendering);
- критическая статья / рецензия (critique / crirtical essay).
Пересказ – один из наиболее часто используемых приемов в обучении иностранному языку, который выполняет следующие функции:
- развитие и совершенствование языковых (фонетических, лексических, грамматических) навыков речи посредством выхода в репродуктивную речь;
- развитие и совершенствование навыков использования эквивалентных замен;
- формирование навыков построения дискурса, составляющих умения монологической речи, а именно навыков осмысленной композиционной организации речевого произведения, выстраивания его хронологии и причинно-следственных связей;
- контроль степени сформированности всех вышеперечисленных навыков и умений.
Для контроля понимания содержания текста, подлежащего пересказу, можно использовать:
- факутальные или проблемные вопросы (factual and inference questions);
- тесты на множественный выбор (multiple-choice test);
- тесты на заполнение пропусков (cloze-test);
- тесты на выстраивание правильной последовательности (reordering/rearrangement test);
- тесты на соответствие (matching);
- тесты на правильные/неправильные утверждения (true / false / statements).
- пересказ по вопросам;
- пересказ по предложенным лексико-смысловым опорам;
- пересказ по плану;
- пересказ-опровержение;
- пересказ-объяснение;
- пересказ-предыстория;
- пересказ-восстановление хронологии событий;
- обратный пересказ.
- прочитать текст, а потом проговорить его содержание без графической опоры;
- составить план текст, или вопросы в хронологической последовательности;
- выписать лексико-смысловые опоры текста в виде ключевых слов или словосочетаний.
- пересказать текст, подготовить сообщение на заданную тему; составить рассказ;
- логически последовательно раскрыть заданную тему;
- обосновать правильность своих суждений, включая в свою речь элементы рассуждения, аргументации,
- вид монолога (сообщение, повествование, описание, рассуждение);
- связность и логичность изложения мыслей и структурно-композиционная завершенность высказывания;
- объем высказывания – степень раскрытия темы и количество предложений;
- лексико-грамматическая (в том числе и синтаксическая) правильность.
- характер опор, с помощью которых выполняются упражнения при обучении монологической речи;
- цель высказывания.
Для систематизации работы по формированию монологического высказывания необходим методически правильно подобранный комплекс упражнений, использование и сочетание традиционных и нетрадиционных форм организации учебной деятельности, непрерывность и последовательность в изложении материала. Важно, чтобы обучающиеся осознали реальную возможность пользоваться языком как средством общения, умели высказываться целостно, логично, связно, продуктивно, самостоятельно, экспромтом, в нормальном темпе.
Одним из способов формирования коммуникативной компетенции на уроках иностранного языка является развитие навыков диалогической речи. В плане активизации навыков говорения в диалогической форме речи могут быть использованы следующие типы диалогов:
- диалог-расспрос;
- диалог-побуждение к действию;
- диалог-обмен мнениями.
При составлении диалогов обучающиеся должны уметь:
- задавать вопросы разных типов;
- логично, последовательно отвечать на поставленные вопросы;
- использовать различные реплики реагирования в процессе общения;
- употреблять различные вводные структуры и клише;
- пользоваться различными способами реализации речевых функций, таких как выражение согласия или несогласия, сомнения, удовлетворения, просьбы, вежливого отказа и т.д.
- развитию речи и мышления;
- раскрытию интеллектуальных способностей;
- усвоению большого количества идей и способов решения проблем;
- дает возможность самореализоваться.
Реализация этой цели связана с формированием у обучающихся следующих коммуникативных умений:
- понимать и порождать иноязычные высказывания в соответствии с конкретной ситуацией общения, речевой задачей и коммуникативным намерением;
- осуществлять свое речевое поведение, принимая во внимание правила общения и национально-культурные особенности стран изучаемого языка;
- пользоваться рациональными приемами овладения иностранным языком, самостоятельно совершенствоваться в нем.
- интереса и положительного отношения к изучаемому языку, к культуре народа, говорящем на этом языке;
- понимания себя как личности, принадлежащей к определенному языковому сообществу, а также общечеловеческое познание;
- понимания важности изучения иностранного языка;
- потребности в самообразовании.
Для достижения цели обучения говорению и решения поставленных задач, на уроках используется дополнительная учебная литература и разноуровневые практические задания, составленные преподавателем, позволяющие осуществлять дифференцированный подход в обучении иноязычной коммуникации на уроках иностранного языка.

Sport: to Do or not to Do?
The arguments below look at the general case of doing or not doing sport.
| For | Against |
| Sport is great way to stay fit and healthy. This is very important today as few people have jobs with physical labour and most of us travel everywhere by car. (A) ………. | It is important to keep fit, however, sport is not the only way to do this. Eating well is a big part of healthy life, and many people prefer to exercise in other ways, for example jogging, working out in a jym, dancing, or even gardening. On the other hand, sport can actually be dangerous. Millions of people are hurt playing sport each year, and some of them very seriously. (G) ………. |
| Sport teaches us big lessons for life. Most sports involve teamwork and teach us how to get along with others, how to work together to achieve a common goal, how to trust others and be responsible. (B) ………. True, some sports do not suit some people, but there are so many possible choices that everyone can find a sport to enjoy. |
Sport does teach children lessons, but not always good ones. Many children are not naturally talented and only come across failure and embarrassment on the sports field. (H) ………. |
| Spot is competitive because life is competitive. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious and working hard to achieve the aims you set yourself. (C) ………. But sport teaches us to compete fairly, within the rules. It balances competitiveness with teamwork and the need to respect the other side. |
Sport makes people too competitive and may show the worst sides of human nature. Sport may make people go too far to get an unfair advantage. Even amateur sports have cheats, a lack of respect for referees and drugs problems. These problems are worse in professional sport where there is need to make money and athletes want to win by all means. (I) ………. |
| Sport encourages a sense of belonging and identity, bringing people together in our society. This is true about playing sport and also watching sport and following a team. (D) ………. At national level, it can bring unity and pride to a whole country and help overcome differences. |
Sport also encourages an us-against-them attitude. We see aggression towards other teams. One example is football violence (hooliganism) in England, Holland and Italy. (J)……… |
| Sport gives us role models to look up to and try to copy. This is very important for young people from poor backgrounds who may have little hope. (E) ………. |
Sports stars may be bad role models for young people to follow. Many behave badly and so set a bad example to children. But even those who behave well are not good examples to follow. (K) ……… Shouldn’t they be celebrated for their work as scientists, doctors, and teachers, or in business? |
| Sport has lots of social benefits. Sports programmes can give people a positive purpose and something to do. In schools after periods of physical activity children go back to their desks with better focus on their work. (F) ………. |
Sport today more about money rather than taking part in competitions, Success in professional teams often depends on a rich owner who can buy talented players. Players have no loyalty to the club which trained them from childhood, but go wherever the money is. (L) ………. |
Task 1. These extracts have been removed from the text. Decide in which gap (see letters) each one should go.
- Many cities have used a new sports stadium to attract people back to rundown areas. Other businesses have followed the sports fans. These investments later bring more money to the city’s budget.
- They can see how sports stars find ways out of bad situations through hard work and their own abilities. Besides, athletes may be the only positive role models for some children who live in poor areas.
- When supporting your team, you can forget about your everyday worries and enjoy sharing a group experience. It also brings people from different classes and backgrounds together – after all, sport is a universal language.
- All sports teach us about dealing with success and failure. They also help people learn about coping with pressure and the need to continue in order to improve yourself.
- As z result many people are overweight and suffer poor health. Sport may not be the only way to keep fit, but the competition and teamwork in sport give people a lot of motivation to keep going.
- Nor is there wrong if you want to do better than someone else. By playing sport children learn about competition and adults have a good outlet for aggression.
- It happens at boxing matches and even in college sports in America. Hooliganism also happens between countries – every time England plays Germany it renews memories of the Second World War.
- Professional athletes spend much of their time getting over injuries. Being hurt by another player is common in contact sports, such as boxing, football, rugby or hockey. Other injuries often happen because players train too much before the competition.
- Some athletes have changed nationality for money. There is a lot of advertising on the pitch and the player’s shirts. Fans are willing to overpay for any item with the team logo on it. Even the Olympics have become one great market.
- This hurts their confidence and may put them off any sport of exercise for life. Plenty of other activities can teach teamwork and other life skills, for example hiking and camping, playing in a band, or raising money for charity.
- This is because top athletes don’t need a good education. Children who hero-worship them could easily think that sport is more important than working hard in school.
- Too much competition can also be bad for you – doctors find that sports fans often stress and depression as a result of following their team.
Task 2. Fill in the gaps with prepositions from the text.
- Success in sport depends not only ….. the athlete but the coach, too.
- The accident put Jack ….. boxing for the rest of his life.
- You should work ….. regularly if you want to keep fit.
- Sport has helped me deal ….. pressure at work.
- Leo Messi is the footballer many teens look ….. .
- Julia found strength to cope ….. her defeat at the Olympics.
- Members of the team get ….. perfectly.
- I have nothing but respect ….. the winning team.
- ….. the one hand Ben showed a better result, but ….. the other, he came fourth.
- In sport you should learn to come ….. failure as well as victory.
| 1. to be overweight | a) to act in a dishonest way in order to gain an advantage |
| 2. contact sports | b) wanting to win or to be more successful than other people |
| 3. to hero-worship | c) to be too fat and heavy |
| 4. to cheat | d) to admire sb very much because you think they are extremely beautiful, intelligent, etc. |
| 5. competition | e) sports in which players have physical contact with each other |
Task 4. Discuss the following questions. Use the vocabulary of the article.
- What is your personal attitude to sport?
- What are the emotional benefits of sport?
- How important is sport for children? Should all children go in for sport?
- Give examples of athletes who are good and bad role models for children and teens. What make them such role models?
- What is your opinion about professional sport? What are its advantages and disadvantages?
- If you could do a sport professionally what sport you choose, and why?
- Do you watch sport competitions and support your national team? Why/why not?
- Is football violence a big problem in your country? How can we stop football violence?
- Some athletes have very big salaries. Dl you think it’s alright? Or should they be paid less?

1. Are you for or against classical music? Study the following arguments and develop the ideas.
FOR
- Classical music gives the listeners a keen sensual delight and pleasure.
- Classical music has a deep intellectual appeal.
- Classical music has a strong ethical effect: it ennobles the listener, makes him better and more humane.
- Classical music condemns evil and supports the ideas of good.
- Classical music creates a special spiritual world for the listener which immensely enriches his inner life and makes him happy.
AGAINST
- Classical music is a complicated art: it’s difficult to find one’s way into it.
- It’s an exclusive art: most people don’t like or understand it. It’s not a popular art.
- The very length of most classical music pieces can send any listener to sleep.
- People want the kind of music, which they can dance or just talk to friends. It’s should be simple, cheerful and up-to-date.
2. Group discussion.
For and against pop music
FOR
- Young people search for new rhythms and new styles.
- The new rhythms are full of vigour and force: just what appeals to younger people. The tunes are happy and easily caught.
- The words of the songs deal with the younger people’s world; their hopes, dreams, disappointments and joys.
- Young people “get tremendous kicks” (as they put it) listening to this kind of music.
- It’s an experimental kind of music: different groups are looking for new forms and sometimes achieve really.
- The very popularity of the genre speaks in its favour. It attracts great masses of young people. Why should we deprive them of the joy they obviously get from this music.
AGAINST
- Before rejecting the old rhythms and styles one should know something about them. Most pop music fans don’t know.
- The rhythms may be new and vigorous, but they lack variety, it’s the same monotonous beat again and again. The tunes are mostly primitive and as easily forgotten as caught.
- The words of some of the songs are absolutely senseless. The songs often contain …
- Why should one “get kicks” at all? One might get thrilled, excited, moved to tears. Does pop-music give one all these reactions?
- Medical research has proved beyond doubt that the volume of sounds produced by powerful music at some pop concerts does great damage both to the senses of hearing and to the nervous system. Indeed cases of mass hysteria are not at all unusual at pop concerts. Are we bring-up generation of the half-deal neurotics?
- In Australia taped pop music is used to frighten the sharks off the public beaches. Obviously the sharks’nerves cannot endure this kind of music.

THE CINEMA IN THE USA
When the American goes to the cinema, he expects to see a large program: a newsreel (which is usually the first item on the program), a cartoon, a documentary and feature film (a full-length film in a cinema program). Sometimes two feature films are included in the program. Foreign films are shown with subtitles or are dubbed into English.
The program may have one or two intervals during which refreshments of all kinds are offered. In some American cinemas there is a continuous showing of the program from opening till closing time. In that case exact show times are not fixed and the seats are not reserved. You may enter or leave the hall any time during the show and take any seat you like.
There is a parking ground attached to big cinemas. For those who want to see a film without leaving the car there are drive-in cinemas (so-called drive-ins).
A great number of various films are released in the USA every year. Hollywood-released films differ in genre as well as in artistic value. Hollywood’s early films were westerns (with their fast action, uncomplicated heroes, and clear-cut conflicts between good and evil); horror films (with their mysterious and supernatural happenings, ghosts and monsters); comedies (very often not in good taste and even vulgar). Then there were romance films (which showed life as it could be lived in one’s imagination and made the viewer escape from reality into a dream word).
Musicals (which like westerns are a wholly American production, created and developed in Hollywood) are still popular with the cinema-goers.
There are films based on novels (so-called adaptations, that is novels adapted the screen) and films which you see the familiar characters brought to life and you feel satisfied if they look exactly as you have pictured them.
Hollywood, that was justly accused of creating a dream world which had nothing in common with reality, has changed greatly since the time of westerns. American films of today are realistic and up-to-date. For instance, science fiction films, which took the place of horror films, offer the viewer flying saucers, extraterrestrial living beings, space battles and explosions of planets. They introduced to lovers of science fiction computers and robots going mad and attacking their creators ugly creatures born of mutation and devastating superweapons.
Gangster films are often inspired by the gloomy front page stories. Many of the films raise urgent problems facing contemporary society and give food for thought. The screen examines the causes of criminal behaviour and suggests that bad characters are often the result of the circumstances and the environment. The idea that science threatens man is often stressed. It is suggested that human control of science may cause disasters and in the lead to the destruction of the world.
Most American films are made with great professional skill. Camera work, setting and acting are usually excellent. But there are also cheap second-rate films, which critics call stupid, badly written and badly directed. Such films, as they say, neither instructive nor entertaining. Well, critics know best, but one thing is certain: there is too much sex, cruelty and violence on the American screen. More than is good for the viewer in fact.

Task 2. There are some people’s opinions about Spelberg’s films. Listen to these people talking about Spelberg’s films.
Sally: Yes, I really enjoyed it. It was quite exciting – very fast. And it was also very funny. And of course I like Harrison Ford – he’s great. But the big thing about the film is that it’s also got Sean Connery in it – he’s Indiana’s father. I know he’s old but I think he’s incredibly sexy. He was the best James Bond … definitely.
Wayne: No, I didn’t really like it. It was too frightening – I don’t really like scary films. I know a lot of people didn’t go swimming in the see afterwards – even in England. But it was well-acted and the music was terrific.
Louse: Spielberg took the stiry from a book. I thought it was a very moving film – very sad – and very intelligent. But it’s quite long and it’s all in black and white. Liam Neeson played the man who saved the lives of all these people. I think he’s a fantastic actor.

2. This is a story of The Phantom of the Opera.
- Read the story. Is it happy or sad?
One day Carlotta, the star of the Opera House, was ill and couldn’t sing. A young singer called Christine sang instead. The phantom fell in love with her and became her music teacher. Christine never saw her teacher – only heard his voice – but she liked him very much. She had a beautiful voice but she was very young so the directors did not want to give her important parts in the operas.
New directors came to the Opera House. They didn’t believe there was a phantom so they stopped paying him money and they let other people use Box Number 5. The phantom, angry with the new directors, started to make ‘accidents’ happen. An enormous chandelier, which fell from the ceiling in the theatre, killed many people. Then Carlotta, the star, began to sign like a frog so Christine had to sing instead. She sang like an angel and became very popular.
One day when Christine met the phantom, he took off his mask. She saw his yellow face, which had no nose and black holes for eyes. He asked her to marry him. However, Christine was in love with Raoul, a handsome young man who was very rich. When she told the phantom about Raoul, he was very angry and took Christine to his home under the theatre. Raoul followed them and the phantom tried to kill him.
Christine promised to marry the phantom to save Raoul’s life. But when she kissed the phantom, he let her go free because he loved her so much. A few weeks later he died of a broken heart. Christine and Raoul left the theatre and no one ever saw them again.
