Предисловие

 

«Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов (в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)» представляет собой комплекс заданий, направленных на активизацию учебно-познавательной деятельности студентов. Структурно практикум представляет собой рабочую тетрадь, упражнения и задания которой ориентированы на подготовку к компьютерному тестированию как промежуточной форме контроля (рейтинг и экзамен). Разработанные задания способствуют созданию прочной лексико-грамматической базы английского языка и создают условия для формирования коммуникативной компетенции для студентов, которым необходимо научиться общаться в различных сферах общечеловеческой деятельности.

Целью практикума является обучение студентов самостоятельной работе над текстами следующих направлений: социально-бытовая сфера общения, социо-культурная сфера общения, учебно-профессиональная сфера общения.

Содержание обучения английскому языку студентов естественно-гуманитарных и технических факультетов на первом курсе включает развитие умения самостоятельной работы с текстами вышеназванных сфер общения и использования их содержания в типичных ситуациях общения (описание, повествование, рассуждение, сообщение с элементами рассуждения, объяснение, определение, оценка).

Эффективность обучения английскому языку зависит от репрезентативности языкового и речевого, его разнообразия и доступности для обучающихся. При выполнении этих условий студент по окончании курса английского языка в цикле общеобразовательных предметов должен читать и понимать тексты различного характера с эпизодическим использованием словаря, а в области устной речи выражать свои мысли по-английски в наиболее типичных ситуациях общения при некоторой дополнительной подготовке.

В связи с тем, что рейтинг и экзамен традиционно проводится компьютерным тестированием, возникает вопрос о поиске новых, более эффективных методов и приемов обучения студентов. И, прежде всего, это вопрос о решении о соотношении обучения устной речи и подготовки к компьютерному тестированию по английскому языку на неспециальных факультетах.

Необходимо признать, что, в целом, студенты первого курса имеют достаточно высокую мотивацию изучения английского языка. Но уровень подготовки студентов неоднороден. В одной учебной группе могут находиться студенты с владением иностранным языком уровня А1 и В1. Методики подготовки к экзамену в устной форме и методом компьютерного тестирования различаются.   

В связи с вышеизложенным возникла необходимость в разработке «Практикума по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов (в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)»

Введение

 

При обучении иностранному языку в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин языковая подготовка в вузе должна осуществляться в комплексе, что относится ко всем умениям и навыкам. Как известно, согласно учебному плану студенты изучают в вузе иностранный язык на первом курсе в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин.

Процесс обучения английскому языку определяется целью приобретения учащимися определенного объема знаний в области грамматики, говорения, чтения и аудирования.

В «Практикуме по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов (в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)» предпринята попытка дать в руки студентов такой инструментарий для постоянной работы с иностранным языком, который бы постоянно поддерживал интерес и развивал мотивацию в данном направлении.    

Целью данной работы является оказание студентам помощи в овладении системой языка и способами ее использования в межкультурно-коммуникативной деятельности, а также в подготовке к экзамену в форме компьютерного тестирования.

 В «Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов»» включены следующие темы:

1. Actions speak louder than words (составитель Кульниязова Ж.Б.).

2. My home is my castle (составитель Сагиева Г.Б.).

3. Home is where the heart is (составитель Сагиева А.Т.).

4. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simple (составитель Абнасирова А.).

5. My home –Kazakhstan (составитель Турмагамбетова Г.Н.).

6.Astana – the new capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan (составитель Турмагамбетова Г.Н.).

7. My Discovery of Great Britain (составитель Умирзакова С.Е.).

8. If you are tired of London you are tired of life (составитель Сагиева А.Т.).

9.A day of travelling will bring a basket of learning (составитель Масалимова А.С.).

10. Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere». (составитель Масалимова А.С.).

Все блоки ««Практикума по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов» выстроены по одной схеме:

1.Чтение: предтекстовые задания (1,2,3), текст и вопросы к тексту (4,5), лексические задания к тексту (5,7).

2.Грамматика: грамматические задания коммуникативного характера (8,9,10,11,12,13,14).

3. Говорение: описание ситуации согласно теме (15).

4.Тест: тестовые задания закрытого типа (30) с полным охватом содержания темы.

 

Необходимым элементом учебного процесса наряду с получаемой информацией, ее отработкой является контроль знаний учащихся. Конечной целью «Практикума по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов» является подготовка к компьютерному тестированию.

Компьютерное тестирование отвечает концепции модернизации и компьютеризации системы образования и имеет ряд положительных качеств, к которым можно отнести быстрое получение результатов и достаточно высокий уровень объективности в оценке знаний.

В ходе проведения компьютерного тестирования можно получить достоверную информацию о владении студентами определенными умениями и навыками. Преподаватель имеет возможность соотнести данные тестирования  с поставленными на данном этапе задачами обучения и провести своевременную коррекцию процесса усвоения новых знаний.

«Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов»  предлагается использовать в учебном процессе в качестве рабочей тетради студента для подготовки к компьютерному тестированию.

Кроме того, предусматривается развитие умения извлечения информации из учебных текстов, описание ситуации или события в форме ряда последовательных утверждений в рамках базовых тем социально-бытовой, социально-культурной и учебно-профессиональной сфер общения с преломлением через собственный опыт восприятия, подготовка доклада по заданной тематике.

Предисловие

 

«Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов (в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)» представляет собой комплекс заданий, направленных на активизацию учебно-познавательной деятельности студентов. Структурно практикум представляет собой рабочую тетрадь, упражнения и задания которой ориентированы на подготовку к компьютерному тестированию как промежуточной форме контроля (рейтинг и экзамен). Разработанные задания способствуют созданию прочной лексико-грамматической базы английского языка и создают условия для формирования коммуникативной компетенции для студентов, которым необходимо научиться общаться в различных сферах общечеловеческой деятельности.

Целью практикума является обучение студентов самостоятельной работе над текстами следующих направлений: социально-бытовая сфера общения, социо-культурная сфера общения, учебно-профессиональная сфера общения.

Содержание обучения английскому языку студентов естественно-гуманитарных и технических факультетов на первом курсе включает развитие умения самостоятельной работы с текстами вышеназванных сфер общения и использования их содержания в типичных ситуациях общения (описание, повествование, рассуждение, сообщение с элементами рассуждения, объяснение, определение, оценка).

Эффективность обучения английскому языку зависит от репрезентативности языкового и речевого, его разнообразия и доступности для обучающихся. При выполнении этих условий студент по окончании курса английского языка в цикле общеобразовательных предметов должен читать и понимать тексты различного характера с эпизодическим использованием словаря, а в области устной речи выражать свои мысли по-английски в наиболее типичных ситуациях общения при некоторой дополнительной подготовке.

В связи с тем, что рейтинг и экзамен традиционно проводится компьютерным тестированием, возникает вопрос о поиске новых, более эффективных методов и приемов обучения студентов. И, прежде всего, это вопрос о решении о соотношении обучения устной речи и подготовки к компьютерному тестированию по английскому языку на неспециальных факультетах.

Необходимо признать, что, в целом, студенты первого курса имеют достаточно высокую мотивацию изучения английского языка. Но уровень подготовки студентов неоднороден. В одной учебной группе могут находиться студенты с владением иностранным языком уровня А1 и В1. Методики подготовки к экзамену в устной форме и методом компьютерного тестирования различаются.   

В связи с вышеизложенным возникла необходимость в разработке «Практикума по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов (в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)»

Введение

 

При обучении иностранному языку в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин языковая подготовка в вузе должна осуществляться в комплексе, что относится ко всем умениям и навыкам. Как известно, согласно учебному плану студенты изучают в вузе иностранный язык на первом курсе в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин.

Процесс обучения английскому языку определяется целью приобретения учащимися определенного объема знаний в области грамматики, говорения, чтения и аудирования.

В «Практикуме по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов (в цикле общеобразовательных дисциплин)» предпринята попытка дать в руки студентов такой инструментарий для постоянной работы с иностранным языком, который бы постоянно поддерживал интерес и развивал мотивацию в данном направлении.    

Целью данной работы является оказание студентам помощи в овладении системой языка и способами ее использования в межкультурно-коммуникативной деятельности, а также в подготовке к экзамену в форме компьютерного тестирования.

 В «Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов»» включены следующие темы:

1. Actions speak louder than words (составитель Кульниязова Ж.Б.).

2. My home is my castle (составитель Сагиева Г.Б.).

3. Home is where the heart is (составитель Сагиева А.Т.).

4. Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simple (составитель Абнасирова А.).

5. My home –Kazakhstan (составитель Турмагамбетова Г.Н.).

6.Astana – the new capital of the Republic of Kazakhstan (составитель Турмагамбетова Г.Н.).

7. My Discovery of Great Britain (составитель Умирзакова С.Е.).

8. If you are tired of London you are tired of life (составитель Сагиева А.Т.).

9.A day of travelling will bring a basket of learning (составитель Масалимова А.С.).

10. Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere». (составитель Масалимова А.С.).

Все блоки ««Практикума по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов» выстроены по одной схеме:

1.Чтение: предтекстовые задания (1,2,3), текст и вопросы к тексту (4,5), лексические задания к тексту (5,7).

2.Грамматика: грамматические задания коммуникативного характера (8,9,10,11,12,13,14).

3. Говорение: описание ситуации согласно теме (15).

4.Тест: тестовые задания закрытого типа (30) с полным охватом содержания темы.

 

Необходимым элементом учебного процесса наряду с получаемой информацией, ее отработкой является контроль знаний учащихся. Конечной целью «Практикума по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов» является подготовка к компьютерному тестированию.

Компьютерное тестирование отвечает концепции модернизации и компьютеризации системы образования и имеет ряд положительных качеств, к которым можно отнести быстрое получение результатов и достаточно высокий уровень объективности в оценке знаний.

В ходе проведения компьютерного тестирования можно получить достоверную информацию о владении студентами определенными умениями и навыками. Преподаватель имеет возможность соотнести данные тестирования  с поставленными на данном этапе задачами обучения и провести своевременную коррекцию процесса усвоения новых знаний.

«Практикум по английскому языку для студентов неспециальных факультетов»  предлагается использовать в учебном процессе в качестве рабочей тетради студента для подготовки к компьютерному тестированию.

Кроме того, предусматривается развитие умения извлечения информации из учебных текстов, описание ситуации или события в форме ряда последовательных утверждений в рамках базовых тем социально-бытовой, социально-культурной и учебно-профессиональной сфер общения с преломлением через собственный опыт восприятия, подготовка доклада по заданной тематике.
