II. Мини-диалоги:
Регулярное, целенаправленное проведение речевой зарядки в форме диалогов без особых усилий и больших затрат времени позволяет:
- Повторить и прочно усвоить лексику, связанную с календарем, школьной жизнью, погодой и т.д.
- Закрепить в памяти школьников новые грамматические структуры и речевые обороты, которые еще недостаточно прочно усвоены в процессе работы с учебником;
- Лучше овладеть навыком диалога, умением задавать общие и специальные вопросы, кратко и лаконично отвечать на них.
