Сложность построения зачётных уроков по иностранному языку очевидна. Она определяется не только необходимостью проверки знаний учащихся в четырёх видах речевой деятельности (чтении, говорении (монолог-диалог), аудировании и письме), но и особенностями подбора материала для заданий и важностью снятия психологического напряжения у школьников при выполнении контрольных заданий.
Форма урока-телемоста нетрадиционна для зачёта, но помогает решить все ключевые задачи, описанные выше.
Предлагаем урок-телемост “Зимние праздники Великобритании и России”, проведённый в восьмом классе (УМК Кузовлев В. П. и др. Английский язык).
Подготовительный этап потребовал разделения учащихся на две подгруппы(русские и гости из Великобритании), повторения страноведческого материала и диалогических единств для поддержания беседы. Канва телемоста “Russia-Britain” позволила детям выполнять контрольные задания более заинтересованно. Письменные навыки проверялись при написании новогодних решений и поздравительных открыток своим “зарубежным” друзьям. Диалогические навыки говорения – в процессе составления и презентации этикетных диалогов (поздравления, благодарности, приглашения). Исполнение песни “Старые добрые времена” способствовало снятию психологического напряжения. При заполнении “валентинок” проверялось практическое использование качественных прилагательных в речи. Аудирование потребовало решения ситуации выбора “верно или нет”. Дети заполняли перфокарты. Контроль навыков чтения осуществлялся в процессе селективного чтения текста о русских и британских праздниках.
Проведённая рефлексия показала положительное отношение учащихся к зачётным урокам нестандартного типа, в данном случае – телемоста. Подобные уроки отличаются большой насыщенностью и позволяют проверить знания школьников сразу в четырёх видах речевой деятельности.
