ПОСОБИЕ ПО РАЗВИТИЮ ЛЕКСИЧЕСКИХ НАВЫКОВ (АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ЯЗЫК)
учебно-методический материал на тему
Роль лексики для овладения иностранным языком настолько же важна, как и роль грамматики. Содержимое пособия ориентировано на развитие лексических навыков и умений и характеризуется коммуникативной направленностью. Данное пособие можно использовать для домашней работы, для проведения работ по автоматизации типичных ситуаций употребления грамматических явлений. Творческий элемент в работе учащихся проявляется в том, что учащиеся употребляют новое слово в составляемых ими самими предложениях. Самостоятельность в конструировании этих предложений, несмотря на то, что они строятся по образцу, не подлежит сомнению, ибо с их помощью учащиеся в речевой форме отражают меняющуюся ситуацию. Упражнения на графической основе готовят учащихся к употреблению слова в письменной речи (чтение, письмо). Они подкрепляют звуковой образ слова. Кроме того, эти упражнения расширяют диапазон сочетаемости слова и тем самым создают дополнительные связи, обеспечивающие большую его активность.
Пособие адресовано студентам, школьникам, учащимся различных курсов. Практическую помощь пособие окажет и начинающим преподавателям.

A Letter to Aunt Monica
See if you can find all the spelling and punctuation mistakes in Sandy’s letter:
25th september 2004
cardiff, uK
Dear aunt Monica
Thank you very much fo your letter. It was greet to get a letter from you. I am really enjoying University life. i have made some good fiends allready – expecially helen and marcus. Helen is form Manchester and Marcus comes from liverpool. His accent is reelly wierd.
yesterday we went to Cardiff to do som shoping. Everything is much more exspensive than back at home. – i miss Jamaica and of corse I miss You and my naughty little bruthers. Cardiff is a Big city – the capitul city of Wales. Wales is nex to Englund and a seperate country, but they are both part of the UK. It’s confusing, isn,t it?
My course Is verry interesting.. i am leaning so much about the enviroment of this country. my Teachers are Good, accept I wish they would speek more slowly som of th time.,, I can’t always here everythng that they are saying. That’s Why I’m using a small tape recorder to re-cord every lecture8. Then I can listen to it in my Room as I stuidy. It’s really helps.
Thank s for asking abot all my boyfrends !! No, – I haven,t met anone yet. I’m here to learn about the enviroment and practise my english, rathur than go out drinking in pubs and clubs with boys every night! I hope that i will fiind someone who shars my interests. Untill that time ; you will have to make do with me being a singl girl!
With Lots of Love to you and my Darling bruthers Roger an Paul, and all my family and frends there. I will see You very soon. Hope I will hear from you soon Too.’
Your loving Niece,
Sandy
