Основным приоритетом развития образования в наши дни является его личностно-ориентированная направленность. Цель обучения иностранному языку – формирование и развитие иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции и её составляющих. Изменение целей влечет изменение подходов к обучению. На протяжении нескольких лет педагоги нашей школы применяют на своих уроках технологию развития критического мышления через чтение и письмо. Данная технология отличается от других возможностью взаимодействия с идеями и информацией, выбора информации, её оценки, осмысления, применения, возможности рассмотреть её с различных точек зрения. Критическое мышление исследует и подвергает испытанию предлагаемые объяснения на предмет их действенности, чтобы увидеть, насколько они хороши на практике. [1] Продуктивной работа на уроке может быть лишь в том случае, если правильно выбран информативный материал и стратегия занятия. В данной статье приводится конспект урока по теме «Одежда» (8 класс) с применением отдельных элементов вышеназванной технологии.
Objectives:
- to practice reading and listening for the main idea;
- to remember the words;
- to speak about the clothes;
- to express opinions;
- to write a Cinquain poem.
