Ход урока

I. Начало урока.

Организационный момент;

Вступительное слово учителя;

Деление на команды.

Good morning, dear friends! I’m glad to see you. Today we are going to have an unusual lesson. It will be the “Linguistic kaleidoscope” around Wales. When we speak about Wales we mainly imagine that it is the land of tourists. One who had visited it can hardly forget the beautiful green hills surrounding the sea, Welsh lakes, wild forests, quick rivers and high waterfalls.

At the same time Wales is almost a separate nation, with its own language. Can you translate these words. “Croeso i Gymru”?

Ученики пытаются перевести. Учитель вывешивает другую таблицу “Welcome to Wales”;

The Welsh language – the language spoken in Wales; it belongs to Celtic languages. In the past, for example in the 19-th century, the Welsh language was not encouraged by the British authorities. Children, who spoke Welsh at school, were punished by having a wooden sign called a “Welsh Not” hung round their neck, but nowadays it is taught in schools and colleges, sometimes as the first language.

And now we’ll touch all sides of such beautiful and unusual part of Great Britain – Wales.

Please, choose any sweet you like. Help yourselves! (Учитель предлагает каждому ученику по конфете, тем, кому достались конфеты с красным фантиком – составляют 1 команду, с синим – 2, и желтым – 3).

So we have got 3 teams. Take you places and for every correct answer you’ll be given a sweet. At the end of the lesson we’ll see whose team knows Wales better. Good luck!

Учитель прикрепляет к схеме Штейнберга опорные слова. Группы рассказывают свои диалоги, используя опорные слова и иллюстрации. Образец примерного диалога.

P1 - Hi! I haven’t seen you for ages!

P2 - Hello! You are right! I haven’t been here.

P1 - Where have you been then?

P2 - In Great Britain. We’ve won a prize in competition and our teacher took us to a tour.

P1 - It’s great! You are lucky! Will you tell me about your trip? What places did you visit?

P2 - Scotland, Wales and sights in London.

P1 - Wales! I’ve just read a book about this part of Great Britain. Is it really different from other parts?

P2 - Yes, take for example, symbols. The leek and daffodil are Welsh national emblems.

P1 The leek? Isn’t it strange?

P2 - Yes, St. David was a monk who lived on bread, water, herbs and leeks and died on March 1, 589 A. D. Since that time the leek became the national emblem for Wales, and medieval soldiers used to wear leeks as they rode to battle. Nowadays, the leek is worn on March 1, St. David’s Day – the Welsh national holiday and at international rugby matches.

P1 - By the way, I know that Scottish man wear skirts “kilts” and what about Welsh national costume, do Welsh men also wear “kilts”?

P1 - Thanks a lot. With great pleasure.

P2 - Then let’s go with me.

P1 - OK.

IV. Тестна чтение и пониманиетекста.

Let’s turn again our linguistic kaleidoscope! “Test on reading”. Every student gets a text. You task is to read it attentively and do the test. These words could be helpful. Let’s read them. I’ll give you 3 minutes.

TEST № 1

At the New Year, the following Welsh customs were also observed, many of them until quite recently.

All exiting debts were to be paid. If not, then the debtor would remain in debt throughout the whole year. It was also considered very unlucky to lend anything on New Year’s Day, even a candle. How one behaved on this special day was an indication of how he would behave throughout the coming year. Fore example, if a man rose early on January 1st, his early rising was ensured the rest of the year. The custom of letting in meant that good or bad luck was brought to the household by the first visitor of the New Year. In some areas, it was unlucky for a man to see a woman first; in others, it was unlucky for a woman to see a man first. Some people believed that it was unlucky to see a red-haired man first. In my own youth in Clwyd, having been blessed with red hair, I was never allowed into anyone’s home on this day until a dark person had first crossed the threshold. If a woman was bold enough to be the first person to enter a neighbor’s house, then there had to follow a parade of little boys throughout each room to break the witch spell!

A Welsh game “Get the apple”
