Урок на тему Написание личного письма на английском языке 9 класс

Письмо личного характера

План-конспект урока в 9 классе

Автор: Панаетова Анна Георгиевна, учитель английского языка.

Занимаясь изучением иностранного языка в школе, ученики должны овладеть одним из основных видов речевой деятельности - письменной речью. Согласно стандартам нового поколения по иностранному языку существуют определенные требования, предъявляемые к этому виду деятельности: учащиеся должны уметь писать личное письмо по образцу, без опоры на образец (расспрашивать адресата о его жизни, делах, сообщать ту же информацию о себе, выражать благодарность, просьбу), используя материал учебных тем, усвоенных в устной речи, употребляя формулы речевого этикета, принятые в стране изучаемого языка; расспрашивать в личном письме о новостях и сообщать их; рассказывать об отдельных фактах, событиях своей жизни, выражая свои суждения и чувства; описывать свои планы на будущее; писать короткие поздравления. Написание личного письма в ответ на письмо друга по переписке является одним из заданий как в ЕГЭ, так и в ГИА по английскому языку, оно входит в часть C. При этом если в ЕГЭ объем письма - 100-140 слов, то в ГИА установлен лимит в 100-120 слов. Данная разработка подходит к любому УМК.

Цель урока: формирование и развитие умения написания письма личного

характера.

Задачи урока: - повторить правила оформления и структуру личного

письма;

- закрепить правила написания личного письма.

Оборудование: компьютер, мультимедийная презентация, проектор.

Ход урока

I. Организационный момент.

Teacher: Good morning students! I am glad to see you. Sit down please. What date is it today? Who is absent today? (Доброе утро, ученики! Я рада видеть Вас. Садитесь, пожалуйста. Какое сегодня число? Кто отсутствует сегодня?)

Ученики отвечают на вопросы учителя. 1-2 мин.

II. Постановка темы и задач урока. Речевая разминка. Warming up.

Teacher: Students, look at the pictures on the screen and try to guess what we are going to talk about. (Ученики, посмотрите на картинки на экране и попробуйте догадаться о нашей сегодняшней теме). Слайд 1.

Ученики высказывают предположения.

Teacher: Right you are! Today we will talk about personal letters. We will revise rules and structure of letter writing. And now answer my questions. Do you write letters to friends? Have you got a pen friend? What do you write about? Do you prefer writing letters or e-mails? (Верно. Сегодня мы будем говорить о письме личного характера. Мы повторим правила и структуру написания личного письма. А сейчас ответьте на мои вопросы. Вы пишете письма друзьям? У вас есть друг по переписке? О чем вы пишите? Вы предпочитаете писать обычные письма или электронные?)

Ученики отвечают на вопросы учителя. 5 мин.

III. Повторение правил и структуры письма личного характера.

Teacher: You have already learnt some steps in writing letters. I want to remind you some general rules: your letter must contain from 100 till 120 words; you should write your letter in an informal way, you should read the instruction attentively and follow the certain steps. Let's try to reconstruct the structure of the personal letter. What should you write first in right upper corner? (Вы уже знаете некоторые «шаги» в написании писем. Я хочу напомнить вам несколько общих правил: ваше письмо должно содержать 100-120 слов, вам следует писать письмо, используя неформальный стиль, вы должны соблюдать определенную структуру письма. Давайте попробуем восстановить структуру личного письма! Что вам нужно сначала написать в правом верхнем углу?)

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: Exactly. In the right upper corner you write your address. What do you write under an address? (Совершенно верно. В правом верхнем углу вы пишете ваш адрес. Что вы пишете под адресом?)

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: That's right. You write a date after an address. What must be written in the left side after the date? (Правильно. Вы пишете дату под адресом. Что должно быть написано слева после даты?)

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: Yes, you greet your pen friend writing his or her name after the word Dear and then you put comma. What goes next? (Да, вы приветствуете вашего друга по переписке, написав его или ее имя после слова «Дорогой (ая)», а затем ставите запятую. Что идет дальше?).

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: It's correct. Then an introduction goes. In this part you thank your fiend for his or her letter and apologize for not writing earlier. What follows an introduction? (Верно. Затем идет вступление. В этой части вы благодарите друга за его, ее письмо и извиняетесь за то, что не написали раньше. Что следует за вступлением?)

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: You are quite right. An answer part follows an introduction. Here you answer your friend's questions. What will be the next part? (Верно. Ответная часть следует за вступлением. Здесь вы отвечаете на вопросы своего друга. Какая часть будет следующей?)

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: Yes, there is a conclusion after an answer part. In this part you may excuse for stop writing and ask your friend to write soon. What are the two last elements of a personal letter? (Да, после ответной части - заключение. В этой части вы можете извиниться за то, что прекращаете писать, и попросить друга ответить поскорей. Какие два элемента являются последними в личном письме?)

Ученики отвечают на вопрос учителя. Слайд 2

Teacher: Well done! Closing line with a comma and your signature (a name) are the two last elements of a personal letter. And now put down this scheme into your copy-books. 5-7 мин. (Молодцы! Завершающая фраза, выделяемая запятой, и ваша подпись (имя) - два последних элемента личного письма. А сейчас запишите схему личного письма в свои тетради). 8-10 мин.

Dear Ben,

Thanks for your letter. It was great to hear from you!

I am happy to know you have chosen your future profession. I'm also interested in foreign languages and cultures. And I hope to visit the USA next summer.

As for me, I have already made up my mind to become a teacher of foreign languages. I like to work with children. They make me feel happy.

I have already been to Italy and France. But I recommend you to visit Russia first for there are many places of interest. If you travelled to Russia, I would be your guide then.

Give my best to your parents. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Ann
