Предметное содержание речи при изучении иностранных языков включает в себя информацию о странах изучаемого языка и их столицах. В 9 классе рассматривается тема “Америка, ее столица и крупные города”. В учебнике для 9 класса “Happy English.ru” авторов К. Кауфман, М. Кауфман, издательства “Титул”, она дана так: “Hello America! Welcome to New York”. К подобным темам обычно бывает недостаточно иллюстративного материала, поэтому я решила дополнить материал учебника презентацией с достаточно широким зрительным рядом и информацией из других источников. Кроме того, материал данной презентации может подойти к любому учебнику и учебному пособию и предлагается для использования на нескольких уроках:

1. Повторение уже известной информации по теме “Америка” и введение новой лексики с опорой на зрительные образы. На мой взгляд, видов, образов, фотографий должно быть максимальное количество, чтобы город стал привычным и знакомым. Должны быть разные ракурсы. Конечно же, одной картинки, как это обычно бывает, мало. Объект нужно показать с разных сторон.

2. Закрепление и расширение информации о достопримечательностях Нью-Йорка. Это даст возможность привлечь учащихся к работе, добавить их сообщения и презентации, так как для такого большого и интересного города информации всегда недостаточно.

3. Контроль усвоения пройденного с опорой на зрительный ряд.

4. В приложениях можно дать более узкую, но не менее интересную тематику по городу. В моей версии они даны только как идея, которую нужно расширить и дополнить.

Урок 1

Перед началом работы с презентацией задаются вопросы, чтобы вспомнить информацию о стране и настроиться на тему:

  1. What is the official name of America?
  2. How many states are there in America?
  3. What is the capital of America?

The official name of America is the USA (the United States of America) or the US (the United States). The country consists of fifty states. New York City(NYC) is in the state of New York. It`s not the capital, but it is the largest city in the country. The capital of the USA is Washington, DC. (Слайды 2-4) You are in the USA now and you are going to see one of the greatest cities on the planet – New York!

(Part 1) 1 часть презентации. Введение новой лексики с опорой на зрительный ряд. Учитель представляет слова, произносит их, учащиеся повторяют за учителем хором и по одному. Есть фразы-образцы с использованием новых слов и дающие новую страноведческую информацию. Эти предложения можно использовать для собственного высказывания по теме.

- Now let`s read, write and remember some new words. (Слайды 5-7) To talk about New York we`ll need new words and expressions: names of places and main attractions of this great city, the name of the river in New York.

a borough [bᴧrǝ] – район   Manhattan [mᴂnhᴂtn] – Манхэттен
Brooklyn [brυklin] – Бруклин    Queens [kwi:nz] – Куинз
Staten Island [stᴂtn ailǝnd] – Статен-Айленд   the Bronx [brɒɧks] – Бронкс

  2. The Chrysler Building – здание Крайслер
  3. The Rockefeller Center [rɒkǝfelǝ(r)] - Рокфеллеровский центр
  4. The Pan American Building, now named MetLife

(Part 2) 2 часть презентации. Расширение информации по объектам и добавление новых объектов. Часть информации дана на слайдах, часть информации в раздаточных материалах. Если информация заинтересовывает учащихся, то есть, они начинают задавать вопросы, а ответов в материалах нет, то можно предложить выбрать интересующий их объект и сделать свою презентацию или сообщение. (Cлайды 14-48)

“There are many apples on the tree, but only one Big Apple.” The old saying is very true when we talk about New York – America`s Big Apple. The city has a lot of nicknames. Here are some of them: “The Big Apple”, “The City That Never Sleeps”, “The Capital of the World”, “The Center of the Universe” …

New York has the nickname of the city that never sleeps, because there is always something going on. New York is a show in itself. It attracts more than 45 million tourists every year.

They used to be the tallest buildings in New Yorkbut they were destroyed by terrorists on September 11, 2001.

The Statue of Liberty

The millions of immigrantswho had to come to America by sea were welcomed by a very tall woman, America`s symbol of freedom. The woman is still there looking out to sea. She is the Statue of Liberty, one of the most famous symbols of America. About 12 million immigrants passed through New York when they came to America.

This monument was built in New York Harbor in 1886. It was a gift from the people of France.

Broadway

Broadway is the most famous street in New York. It is one of the longest avenues in Manhattan (25 km.), but it is famous not only for this fact. It is also famous for the small area near Times Square where Broadway crosses Seventh Avenue. This is the home of many Broadway theaters and is known as the “Theater District” (over 40 professional theaters). This part of Broadway is also known as “the Great White Way”. The lights from all the theaters and advertisements are very bright. The hit which was born on Broadway is “Chicago”! This fantastic musical is still the biggest hit in town. Thousands of people come to Broadway to see this great show in the Ambassador theater. Times Squareis the center of the theater district. There are always a lot of tourists here.

New Yorkers and tourists like to celebrate New Year in Times Square. On New Year`s Eve, December 31, crowds of people stand in Times Square and wait for midnight. At midnight everyone shouts: “Happy New Year!” to everyone else.

Ground Zero

Visit Ground Zero in New York to get a sense of what happened on September 11, 2001. You have an easier time seeing what happened that day when you`re standing in the same spot. Listen to the “sirens” as you hear people running in panic. Let the City tell you its story.

There you can see skyscrapers around Ground Zero, for example, the Freedom Tower, the new 7 World Trade Center which was opened in May 2006, and has 52 stories, is 741 feet tall, and has been touted as the safest skyscraper in the world.

The official name of the monument is “National September 11 Memorial and Museum”. At night two searchlights show the places of the destroyed buildings. It is named “Tribute of  Light” (“Дань в свете”)

Subway (underground) station near Ground Zero Memorial looks very unusual.

It`s difficult to get lost in New York. It has a very clever system of streets and avenues. Streets run east to west across the island and are often called cross-streets, while avenues run north to south down the island.

Most of the subway stations have the same names as the streets. The subway is a cheap, fast and easy way to see all the city. Buy a Metro Card at any subway station and the key to the city is in your hands.
