4 этап: Обсуждение

 На доске:
T: Let’s first remember the educational system of Great Britain. (На столе учителя находятся карточки. Учитель и ученики обсуждают и собирают домик- образовательную систему Великобритании.) Идет фронтальная работа.

In Great Britain, schooling is compulsory for children of 5 to 16 years of age. Over 90% of children of   compulsory school go to state school. They are usually free. 7% private schools exist in the UK. They are called public schools and they are fee-paying. There are 3 stages in education: 1) Primary education 2) secondary education 3) Further education at universities Before going to primary school children receive nursery education (playgroups). They begin pre-school at the age of 3. Compulsory primary education begins at the age of 5 in Great Britain. They start in infant schools and move to a junior school at 7 years old. From 11-16 children go to a secondary school. At the age of 16 pupils can leave schools. But a lot of them want to continue their education. They have the optional 6th form (from 16 to 18 years old)

T: Do English children have to take any exams?
P: Yes, they have. At the end of secondary school at the age of 16 they have to take GCSE (General Certificate for Secondary Education). At the age of 18 they have to take A or A/C levels(University entrance exams)
T: Yes you are right. In addition, they can enter colleges or universities without any exams. What universities of Great Britain do you know?

Cl: Cambridge, Oxford, London University,
T: If children want to enter private well-known universities as Oxford or Cambridge universities, they have to take special exams.
T: And now you’ll learn about the educational system of another English speaking country –The USA. I’ll tell you about it and you can add something, because you learnt about the system of the USA when you used the book “Happy English-2”, do you still remember it? So, let’s begin. Учитель рассказывает, задает наводящие вопросы, ученики добавляют, идет фронтальная работа.

The educational system of the USA The system of school education in the USA differs from the system in some countries. Here each of the 50 states controls and directs its own school. In most states, children begin attending schools at the age of 6-7 until they are 16 or 17. Pre-school is a part of elementary school. Children first go to nursery at the age of 3(study 2 years) and at the age of 5 to 6 they attend kindergarten where they begin reading and writing. Traditionally elementary school begins at the age of 6 and it lasts until a student 12 years old. So, 6 years of elementary school followed by a 6-year High school . In some states High school can be divided  into 2 parts : 2 years of Junior High school and 4 years of Senior High school. In American school there are 2 kinds of school subjects which are compulsory for all students and elective subjects such as typing, economics, technical education, home education. Do they take exams? At the end of every school year, the child takes a test. If he does well he receives A or B grade and goes into the next grade . If he doesn’t do well he has to repeat the grade. American children finish school without any exams. At the end of their time at school most students get a high school diploma and can enter college or university. If they have good grades A or B they can enter college or university without any exams.

T: Which famous universities of the USA do you know?
CL: Harvard, Princeton, Yale….
T: To enter these private universities children have to take exams.
T: Now look at these two systems.
 What advantages and disadvantages does each system have?
T: And now let’s talk about the educational system of our country. We know this system very well because I’m a teacher, you are students and we are in this system now. (учитель задает вопросы ученикам и собирается 3-ий домик )

T: Everybody has a right for secondary education, which is free or charge. Comprehensive secondary education consists of 2 stages. Can you name them? P3 : Yes , elementary and secondary education. T:Tell me please about elementary education. P4: At elementary school students study 4 years, from 7 to 10 years old.
