    S2 – Is it a settler?

Your task is to find as many verb parts of the irregular verbs as you can and add the rest two forms. You may find verb parts horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, as well as backwards. Each student gets one point for every correct answer.

На задание отводится ровно 5 минут, после чего проверяется количество найденных глаголов. Здесь учитывается не только скорость, но и качество выполнения задания).

В заключении статьи, отмечу, что использование нетрадиционных занятий (занятий в игровой форме) стимулирует деятельность студентов, вызывает большой интерес к языку, создает благоприятную рабочую атмосферу, способствует развитию творческих способностей студентов и, конечно, помогает преподавателю сделать процесс обучения более эффективным. Думаю, что разработка данного занятия по теме “Мой город” найдет свое практическое применение на уроках иностранного языка.
