ХОД УРОКА

1. Вступительная часть (The beginning of the lesson)

Pupils greet their teacher.

После приветствия и организационного момента учитель обращает внимание учащихся на следующие предложения, записанные на доске (либо появившиеся на экране, при условии, что урок проходит в компьютерном классе, выполненные в форме «презентации») CONVERSATION STARTERS,

TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER, TALKING ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS, AT THE OFFICE, AT A SOCIAL EVENT, OUT FOR A WALK, WAITING SOMEWHERE.

Teacher - We can use these conversation starters according to different situations, can't we? I really think so. You can't be a good pupil and a polite man or woman, when you don't know how to behave yourself in different situations. Do you agree? So, the topic of our lesson is «How to be polite».

2. Основная часть.

Many people think that the British are very polite. What makes them think so? Not only what the British say, but how they do it. Let's listen to the dialogue, try to guess where are they from?

Учащиеся рассказывают заранее подготовленный диалог (смотри Приложение 1). Затем учащимся предлагается другой вариант этого же диалога, но звучащий более вежливо, чем предыдущий диалог. Обучающиеся должны сказать, в чем же разница.

Teacher - Yes, you're absolutely right. Well done. True, if you want to sound more politely, friendly, use tags. Tags are mini questions that we can put on the end of a sentence. But some sentences with a tag are not questions. Listen again and pay attention to the intonation of the tags, will you? Is it different in different situations?

Учащиеся прослушивают еще раз этот мини-диалог и отмечают, что с интонацией «подъёма» голоса собеседник задает вопрос, а с интонацией «падения» голоса собеседник спрашивает - согласен ли говорящий с ним.

Teacher - Some Russian and British manners are different, others are common, aren't they? What is different? What is common? Make it clear for yourself.

Учащиеся делятся на две группы. Одна группа выступает в роли экспертов «хороших манер» русскоязычных жителей, указывая наиболее характерные им манеры поведения; вторая группа берет на себя ответственность высказаться о манерах поведения британцев, называя известные им манеры поведения Великобритании.

- In Britain they don't give flowers to a man.

- In Russia we don't give flowers to a man either, do we?

- In Britain they don't take off their shoes entering home.

- In Russia we take off our shoes entering home, don't we?

Обсуждение вышесказанного проходит путем участия в дискуссии, когда говорящие высказывают свое мнение, но в вежливой форме, учитывая чувства собеседника.

Teacher - Well done. Now look at the screen.

На экране представлены наиболее употребимые ситуации общения (либо записаны на доске)

• It's rude not to say anything or answer someone , even if you are shy or don't know the person/

Обсудив вышесказанное (Yes, I agree. No, I don't agree), учащиеся прослушивают диалог «На вечеринке» - «At a party». Перед обущающимися поставлена задача - найти 10 ошибок, имеющих отношение к small talk. Учащиеся получают карточки с записанным диалогом и подчеркивают ошибки, делая коррекцию. (Смотри приложение 2)

Teacher - So, let's go on. Now you will listen to 10 statements and find out which statement is true or not. Write Small talk quiz.

(Смотри Приложение 3).

III Заключительная часть.

Finally, at the end of the lesson make up question with the suitable intonation about friendliness of British people.

Варианты ответов: The British are friendly, aren't they?

Если собеседник уверен в вышесказанном, то произнесет это с интонацией «падения»

The British are friendly, aren't they?

Если собеседник неуверен или задает вам ответный вопрос, то он произнесет вышесказанное с интонацией «подъёма»

На дом предлагаю учащимся дифференцированное задание:

На «3» - составить вопросы к любому из разделов, данных в начале урока для начала беседы;

на «4» и «5» составить small talk, к примеру на автобусной остановке.

Ответы учащихся оцениваются с учетом их работы на уроке, активности, реакции при ответах на вопросы и т.д. Поэтому некоторые ученики получили две оценки за урок.

Teacher - Thank you for the lesson. It is over. You may be free.

Woman 2: Oh. OK.

Man: So, how are you knowing Rick?

Woman 2: Oh, Rick and I go way back. We studied nursing together.

Man: Nursing. Hmm. I heard on the radio that all of you nurses are on strike. Are they not paying you enough?

Woman 2: Actually it's about working conditions.

Man: I see. So, have you had a chance to take a dip in the pool yet?

Woman 2: No, not yet. How about you?

Man: No, I need to loose some weight before I put on a bathing suit. But you have a great figure.

Woman 2: Uh, thanks. Well, I better go and jingle. There are a few people I haven't said hello to yet.

Man: Wait! Did you hear that the Pope is coming to town?

Woman 2: Ya. I heard that on the news today. I bet it'll be really tough to get to see him.

Man: I know. But I'm not Catholic anyway. Are you?

Woman 2: Yes, I'm actually. Well, it looks the sun is finally coming out. I think I'll go take that swim.
