Материал, представленный в подборке, поможет учителю добиваться совершенствования навыков разговорной речи учащихся.
Фразы отрабатываются в следующем порядке: учитель произносит предложение проблемного характера; ученик, самостоятельно включающийся в разговор, выражает мнение; следующий ученик высказывает мнение по поводу фразы предыдущего ученика, и далее – по цепочке. Ученики с хорошим уровнем знаний могут вести диалог по данной ситуации, другие ученики подключаются к этому диалогу.
Таким образом, частота употребления речевых штампов служит выработке автоматизированных речевых навыков и вовлечению в беседу даже учащихся со слабым уровнем знаний.
