Использование аутентичного поэтического материала на уроках английского языка

Современными методистами и педагогами было доказано, что изучение культурного наследия страны изучаемого языка, знакомство с образом жизни народа и их устоями должно стать неотъемлемой частью каждого урока английского языка. Учащиеся имеют возможность ознакомиться с национальным достоянием страны, приобрести и развить навыки коммуникации на английском языке. Изучать национальную культуру можно разными путями, в том числе и через аутентичный литературный материал. Поэзия рассматривается как инструмент, с помощью которого можно знакомиться с культурой страны и в то же время повышать уровень языковой подготовки учащихся. Поэтому мною был отобран аутентичный поэтический материал, который можно использовать на уроках английского языка при изучении ряда тем, или на занятиях языкового кружка. Данный материал был оформлен в пособие, которое состоит из 7 уроков. Предлагается следующий алгоритм работы над стихотворением:

1. Прослушайте произведение.
2. Выполните фонетические упражнения.
3. Переведите стихотворение, пользуясь словарем.
4. Выполните задания, направленные на тренировку лексического, грамматического материала в указанной последовательности.

В качестве домашнего задания учащимся предлагается подготовить творческий перевод стихотворения и выучить понравившееся наизусть. Предлагаю организацию работы над некоторыми произведениями.

William Blake "Holy Thursday "

'T was on a Holy Thursday, their innocent faces clean,
The children walking two & two, in red & blue & green,
Grey-headed beadles walk'd before, with wands as white as snow,
Till into the high dome of Paul's they like Thames' waters flow.

O what a multitude they seem’d these flowers of London town!
Seated in companies they sit with radiance all their own.
The hum of multitudes was there, but multitudes of lambs,
Thousands of little boys & girls raising their innocent hands.

Now like a mighty wind they raise to heaven the voice of song,
Or like harmonious thunderings the seats of Heaven among.
Beneath them sit the aged men, wise guardians of the poor;
Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door.

Rudyard Kipling "If"

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Если...

О, если ты покоев, не растерян,
Когда теряют головы вокруг,
И если ты себе остался верен,
Когда в тебя не верит лучший друг,
И если ждать умеешь без волненья,
Не станешь ложью отвечать на ложь,
Не будешь злобен, став для всех мишенью,
Но и святым тебя не назовешь,
И если ты своей владеешь страстью,
И не тобою властвует она,
И будешь тверд в удаче и в несчастье,
Которым, в сущности, цена одна,
И если ты готов к тому, что слово
Твое в ловушку превращает плут,
И, потерпев крушенье, можешь снова —
Без прежних сил — возобновить свой труд.
И если ты способен все, что стало
Тебе привычным, выложить на стол,
Все проиграть и вновь начать сначала,
Не пожалев того, что приобрел,
И если можешь сердце, нервы, жилы
Так завести, чтобы вперед нестись,
Когда с годами изменяют силы
И только воля говорит: “держись!”
И если можешь быть в толпе собою,
При короле с народом связь хранить
И, уважая мнение любое,
Главы перед молвою не клонить,
И если будешь мерить расстоянье
Секундами, пускаясь в дальний бег, —
Земля твое, мой мальчик, достоянье!
И более того, ТЫ человек!

Rudyard Kipling "When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted"

When Earth's last picture is painted
And the tubes are twisted and dried
When the oldest colors have faded
And the youngest critic has died
We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it
Lie down for an aeon or two
'Till the Master of all good workmen
Shall put us to work anew
And those that were good shall be happy
They'll sit in a golden chair
They'll splash at a ten league canvas
With brushes of comet's hair
They'll find real saints to draw from
Magdalene, Peter, and Paul
They'll work for an age at a sitting
And never be tired at all.
And only the Master shall praise us.
And only the Master shall blame.
And no one will work for the money.
No one will work for the fame.
But each for the joy of the working,
And each, in his separate star,
Will draw the thing as he sees it.
For the God of things as they are! ”
