Введение

В связи с повышением статуса иностранных языков в жизни современного общества их внедрение в систему образования  стало необходимостью сегодняшнего дня. В содержании ГОССПО отмечено, что выпускник должен владеть лексическим минимумом, необходимым для чтения и перевода иностранных текстов профессиональной направленности, а также обладать элементарными умениями общения на иностранном языке. Для достижения поставленных целей учащихся следует приучать к обильному чтению в течение всего учебного года. Этому способствуют книги для чтения. Чтение расширяет кругозор учащихся, увеличивает объем лексического запаса, помогает осуществить коммуникацию на иностранном языке.

Практикум по домашнему чтению предназначен для студентов 1-2 курсов средних специальных учебных заведений, для тех, кто уже владеет базовыми знаниями английского языка, т. е. умеет свободно читать, используя словарь, обладает знаниями основ грамматического строя английского языка, правильно артикулирует и произносит звуки, способен к общению в диалоге и монологической речи.

С помощью книги для чтения под редакцией Ю.Б. Голинцынского и данного пособия учащиеся ознакомятся с литературой английских писателей-классиков, таких как Даниель Дефо, Джонатан Свифт, Оскар Уайльд и других, научатся вести беседу, высказывать и обсуждать свое мнение о прочитанном, а также смогут обогатить свой словарный запас.

Данное пособие состоит из предисловия, рекомендаций по использованию пособия, а также 21 урока основного курса. Каждый урок рассчитан на 2 академических часа и включает в себя фонетические упражнения, дотекстовые и послетекстовые упражнения, упражнения на развитие навыков монологической и диалогической речи.

Обучение чтению, письму и говорению на базе данного пособия осуществляется взаимосвязано, то есть так, как это происходит в реальной жизни: мы читаем и обсуждаем что-либо, делаем в процессе чтения какие-то заметки, говорим. Поэтому после прочтения текста учащиеся могут высказаться по его содержанию, как в устной, так и в письменной форме, причем подготовка устных высказываний может сопровождаться письменной фиксацией отдельных мыслей.

Методические рекомендации

Упражнения и задания, предложенные пособием следует выполнять в том порядке, в котором они располагаются  в каждом уроке (от простого к сложному). В начале урока даны упражнения на узнавание лексических  явлений, каждое последующее является еще одним шагом к основной цели обучения языку - к коммуникации, то есть свободному общению на языке с правильным использованием в речи всех языковых элементов.

Новая лексика дается на русском языке. Слова следует перевести на английский язык, причем использовать английские эквиваленты тех слов, которые встречаются в тексте. Это не составит особого труда, так как текст предварительно прочитан студентами, то есть выполнение этого задания происходит на послетекстовом этапе.

Целесообразно применять дифференцированный подход при ответах учащихся на вопросы и выполнении заданий после текста. Студенты с более низким уровнем подготовленности могут использовать текст в качестве опоры. Им могут быть предложены задания следующих формулировок: "Найдите в тексте описание …", "Используя текст, докажите …" Студенты  с более высоким уровнем могут выполнять задания без опоры на текст.

Фонетическую разминку рекомендуется проводить в начале урока, а также несколько раз в течение урока. Кроме фонетических упражнений, предложенных пособием, можно использовать следующий вид работы: повторить за учителем все имена собственные, которые встречаются в данном тексте. Эти имена бывают наиболее трудными для произношения.

Упражнения, отмеченные знаком * рекомендуется выполнять в письменной форме.
