Следующие уроки представляют собой часть курса «Чтения с элементами анализа художественного адаптированного текста с использованием видеоматериалов», разработанного для учащихся 5-6 классов гимназий и школ с углубленным изучением иностранного языка, как дополнение к основной учебной программе. В качестве видеоматериала используется художественный фильм на английском языке «Хроники Нарнии» Курс рассчитан на 32 академических часа. Курс нацелен на интенсификацию обучения иностранному языку при помощи технических средств обучения и развитие навыков аудирования, чтения, перевода и анализа текста. Конечной целью является выход в речь изученных лексических единиц и грамматических конструкций. Все 32 урока курса сходны по структуре, с частичным изменением видов упражнений с целью сделать каждый урок более интересным и менее предсказуемым. Каждый урок делится на дотекстовый, текстовый и послетекстовый этапы. Цель дотекстового этапа – снятие возможных трудностей восприятия текста и мотивация учащихся. В предлагаемых уроках он представлен упражнениями 1 и 2. На текстовом этапе упражнения направлены на поиск языковой информации и на развитие рецептивных умений на уровне выделения содержательной и смысловой информации и на развитие навыков говорения. На этом этапе учащимся предлагается письменный текст эпизода видеофильма. В первом уроке этот этап представлен упражнениями 3-7, во втором уроке – упражнениями 3-5. Целью послетекстового этапа является использование текста в качестве опоры для развития репродуктивных и продуктивных умений в устной и письменной речи. В первом уроке этот этап представлен упражнениями 8-9, во втором уроке – упражнениями 6-7.
