«Использование видеокурса “Window on Britain” на уроках английского
языка»
В современной методике преподавания иностранного языка приоритетным
является формирование и развитие коммуникативной компетенции учащихся.
Формировать иноязычную компетенцию, не находясь в стране изучаемого языка,
дело весьма трудное. Поэтому перед учителем встает задача поиска новых форм и приемов
обучения, новых видов наглядности, оптимизирующих образовательную деятельность.
Системнодеятельностный подход, являющийся методологической основой
Федерального Государственного Образовательного Стандарта второго поколения
предполагает активную учебнопознавательную деятельность учащихся. Использование
видео на уроке английского языка и во внеурочной деятельности открывает уникальные
возможности для учителя и учащихся не только в формировании социокультурной
компетенции, как одной из составляющих коммуникативной компетенции в целом, но и
раскрывает широкие возможности для активной работы в процессе формирования речевых
навыков и умений учащихся и делают учебный процесс овладения иностранным языком
привлекательным для школьников на всех этапах обучения.
В отличие от аудио или печатного текста, которые, безусловно, могут иметь
высокую информативную, образовательную, воспитательную и развивающую ценность,
видеотекст имеет то преимущество, что помимо содержательной стороны общения, он
содержит и визуальную информацию. Визуальный ряд позволяет лучше понять и закрепить
как фактическую информацию, так и языковые особенности речи в конкретном контексте.
Ведь зрительная опора звучащего с экрана иноязычного звукового ряда помогает более
полному и точному пониманию его смысла. Эта форма учебной деятельности не только
активизирует внимание и память учащихся, расширяет их кругозор, но и способствует
развитию и совершенствованию навыков аудирования и говорения.
Изучение предметных областей «Филология» и «Иностранные языки» должно
обеспечить сформированность представлений о роли языка в жизни человека, общества,
государства; приобщение через изучение русского и родного (нерусского) языка,
иностранного языка и литературы к ценностям национальной и мировой культуры. Видео,
помимо содержательной стороны общения, содержит визуальную информацию о месте
события, внешнем виде и невербальном поведении участников общения в конкретной
ситуации. Учебные видеокурсы, мультипликация, видеосюжеты и ролики дают учащимся
наглядное представление о жизни, традициях, языковых реалиях англоговорящих стран. Их
использование способствует реализации важнейшего требования коммуникативной
методики – представить процесс овладения языком как постижение живой иноязычной
действительности,
Не менее важно приобщить школьников к культурным ценностям народа –
носителя языка, познакомить с особенностями материальной и духовной жизни народов
других стран, их национальной психологией, традициями, обычаями и нормами поведения.
И здесь на помощь учителю приходят фильмы страноведческого содержания.
Видеоматериалы предоставляют практически неограниченные возможности для
проведения анализа, построенного на сравнении и сопоставлении культурных реалий. Они
являются бесценным материалом для обучения эффективной речевой коммуникации.
Современные технические средства и компьютерные технологии позволяют использовать
на уроках мультимедийные презентации, видеофильмы, ролики из Интернета. На своих
уроках мы используем серию видеофильмов “ Window on Britain” издательства Oxford
University Press. Курс состоит из тем, которые очень часто включены в учебники по
английскому языку. Каждый фильм представлен несколькими роликами (47мин), которые могут использоваться вместе, отдельно друг от друга, на одном уроке или в течении темы,
в начале тематического блока или в качестве контроля на завершающем этапе. Видео
фрагменты из сети Интернет
могут служить примерами или стимулами для
монологических высказываний, диалогов или обсуждений.
Использование видео на занятиях повышает мотивацию обучения и создаёт
определённые условия для дальнейшей учебнопоисковой и творческой деятельности
учащихся.
Однако использование видеоматериалов неизбежно вызывает вопросы относительно
организации способов аудиторной работы с ними. Необходимо стремиться к тому, чтобы
учащиеся получали удовлетворение от фильма именно через понимание языка, а не только
через интересный и занимательный сюжет.
Работа над каждым фильмом включает в себя следующие этапы: до просмотра, во
время просмотра, после просмотра, а так же задание или тему для проектной работы.
Для каждого этапа можно разработать упражнения по лексике и грамматике (кроссворды,
упражнения с пропусками слов или грамматических форм), чтению и аудированию. Если
видеоролики сопровождаются субтитрами, то их можно использовать для работы с новой
лексикой , тренировки правописания и произношения. Субтитры так же важны для
практики аудирования. Распечатка текстового сопровождения позволяет продуктивно
поработать с лексикой и грамматикой. Текстовое сопровождение можно использовать для
лучшего понимания на начальном этапе, так же полезно обращать внимание на текст для
анализа ошибок или самоконтроле Видеоаудирование включает привычные этапы работы :
просмотр для понимания общего содержания, идеи, повторный просмотр направлен на
понимание полной информации, всего содержания. Для эффективного использования
видео на уроке необходимо соблюдать ряд условий:
содержание видеоматериала должно быть точно согласовано с изучаемым учебным
материалом, соответствовать изучаемой теме и уровню знаний учащихся;
видеоматериал должен использоваться в меру и показывать его следует только в
соответствующий момент урока;
видеофрагмент должен представлять учащимся возможность для развития
языковой, речевой, социокультурной компетенции;
видеотекст должен сопровождаться четкой инструкцией, направленной на решение
конкретной и реалистичной учебной задачи, понятной ученикам и оправданной всей
логикой урока.
При работе с любым текстом в методике обучения иностранным языкам принято
выделять три основных этапа: дотекстовый этап, текстовый этап и послетекстовый этап.
Видеотекст не является исключением. На каждом этапе работы с видеоматериалом
необходимо определить общие цели, достижение которых выполняется определенной
лексикограмматической работой.
На дотекстовом этапе необходимо мотивировать учащихся,
настроить их на
выполнение задания, снять возможные трудности восприятия текста и подготовить
учащихся к успешному выполнению задания. На этом этапе целесообразно предложить:
упражнения на предвосхищение содержания текста (обобщение ранее
полученных знаний;
обсуждение заголовка;
работа над незнакомыми словами;
иногда беглый просмотр фрагмента без звука.
Цель второго этапа: активизировать речемыслительную деятельность учащихся и
обеспечить дальнейшее развитие языковой, речевой или социокультурной компетенции. На
этом этапе могут быть использованы упражнения на поиск языковой информации
(подобрать эквиваленты, заполнить пропуски в предложениях нужными словами); выделение содержательной и смысловой информации (поиск правильных ответов,
верных/неверных утверждений, логическое выстраивание частей текста); развитие навыков
говорения (монологическая/диалогическая речь). При просмотре можно проводить
следующие виды работы:
проверка предсказаний, сделанных учащимися до просмотра;
информационный поиск, после первого просмотра учащимся предлагаются
упражнения на поиск информации, и сюжет просматривается снова, по сегментам
или целиком, в зависимости от уровня класса и задач урока;
работа с отдельным сегментом. Этот этап работы предоставляет наибольшие
возможности для формирования элементов коммуникативной культуры. Кроме
того, на этом этапе проводится отработка основных навыков дешифровки текста,
что является важнейшим аспектом аудирования. Учащиеся просматривают
какойлибо отдельный сегмент видеосюжета и выполняют одно (или более) из
описанных в приложении видов упражнений.
На третьем этапе организуется речевая творческая деятельность учащихся,
направленная на развитие продуктивных умений. Здесь можно организовать:
ролевую игру, в основу которой положен сюжет или ситуация видеофильма,
проектную работу
повторение и отработку речевых блоков, полученных после просмотра;
обсуждение, учащиеся соотносят увиденное с реальными ситуациями в их жизни,
в их стране и анализируют сходства и различия в культуре;
творческие работы, учащимся предлагается написать краткий пересказ,
составить диалог или сценку, на основе сюжета
Хотелось обратить внимание на некоторые не совсем обычные техники работы с
фильмами. Просмотр без звука эта техника хороша тем, что можно обратить внимание
учащихся на тему урока. Используя эту технику можно прогнозировать содержание
фильма или восстанавливать текст. И наоборот, убрать изображение и использовать звук, в
этом случае можно предположить о чём фрагмент.
могут быть достойным дополнением к уроку, они
Исходя из вышеизложенного, необходимо отметить, что, как показывает практика,
использование аутентичных видеоматериалов в процессе обучения иностранному языку
действительно способствует повышению уровня знаний учащихся, развивает их интерес к
изучению иностранного языка и вовлекает в пространство межкультурной коммуникации.
Видеофильмы
аутентичны,
информативно насыщенны, вносят разнообразие в учебный процесс, тем самым мотивируя
учащихся. Фильм на английском языке от издательства Oxford University Press, даёт
уникальную возможность заглянуть в британскую жизнь и культуру. Эта программа может
использоваться в качестве дополнения к любому beginnerpreintermediate курсу для
учащихся средней школы и гимназии; в качестве материала по изучению культуры. Фильм
содержит документальные репортажи с полутеатрализованными сценами, изображающими
повседневный быт англичан. Программа адаптирована для понимания зрителями с самыми
базовыми знаниями английского языка. Доступное изложение фактов, красочное видео и
наблюдение изнутри за жизнью британцев не дадут школьникам заскучать при просмотре.

Window on Britain. London.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUyDC8o1aNw
London is the capital of Britain. It’s a fascinating and exciting city with a very long history.
London is on the river Thames. In about 83 AD the Romans built a bridge over the river. And
that was the beginning of the city of London. Until 1747 there was only one bridge over the
Thames. Now there are 29, some are for cars, some are for trains, and some are for pedestrians.
Some are very famous, like this one, Tower Bridge.
London has a population of nearly 7 ml. It’s a big city. But travelling around is easy. We can
take a water bus on the river, you can go on one of the London famous red buses or black taxes
or you can go on underground. Londoners call this a tube. It started in 1863 and it was world’s
first underground railway.
Over 20 ml tourists come here every year, 11ml from abroad and the rest tourists from other
parts of Britain.
There is so much for people to see in London, palaces, churches, cathedrals, The Tower,
Trafalgar Square, a lot of museums, art galleries and of course Madame Tussaud’s. Madame
Tussaud brought an exhibition of wax models to London in 1802. And now over 2.5ml people
visit it every year. London also is a great place for shopping.
This is Harrods, probably the most famous store in Britain. In 1834 Charles Henry Harrods
started a small business as a grocer in the East End of London. Today Harrods Store has 300
departments on 7 floors and over 3000 stuff. About 45000 people shop here every day.
Another popular place for shopping is Covent Garden. It is also a center of London street life.
You can find street musicians and entertainers here. You can also find some good street fashion.
There are always interesting fashions in London. In the 1960s there was the mini skirt, later there
were punks.
So, what do people like about London? What you can do when the shops and museums are
closed? Well, there are restaurants, discos, pubs and clubs.
London has over 130 cinemas and more than 60 theatres. There are some wonderful parks, like
Hyde Park, Regent’s Park and St.James Park where toy can walk, have a picnic or just relax.

Media in Britain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_msdNsnQNM
Hi! We’re here to have a look at the media in Britain. We’re going to find out about
television, radio and the Internet. But first, what do you know about British newspapers and
magazines?
The British love their newspapers. Two out of three British people over the age of 15 read a
newspaper every day. It’s about 26 million people. Even more people read a paper on Sundays.
What do they read? The two most popular daily newspapers are tabloids “The Sun” and “The
Mirror”. Over 3,5 million people buy “The Sun” every day and over 2 and a quarter buy “The
Mirror”. In tabloids paper you’ll find more gossip, more human interest stories, more pictures
and not very much serious news.
These newspapers are larger, they’re called “broadsheets” or quality papers. About a million
people buy “The Daily Telegraph” and about 700 00 buy “The Times”, this also “The
Independent” and “The Guardian”. In these papers we’ll find more news, more serious articles
and fewer pictures. All together there are about130 daily and Sunday papers in Britain, some
national, some local. There are also over 6500 different magazines. In fact nowadays not
everyone actually buys a newspaper. Some people read a newspaper online. Over 75000 people
visit their websites every day. The number of people in Britain that use the Internet is increasing
all time.
“BBC Radio 4. The news at seven o’ clock. The Chancellor, Gordon Brown….”. the BBC is the
British Broadcasting Corporation. It has 5 national radio stations, 39 local stations and 2
terrestrial television channels. The BBC is not commercial, there’s no advertising during their
programmes. British people have to buy a television license every year. The BBC uses the
money from this to make television and radio programmes. Here they’re filming “Middlemarch,
the classic novel by George Eliot. There are three other terrestrial TV channels. There’s ITV,
that’s Independent Television, Channel 4and Channel 5. These are all commercial and have
advertising. Of course, there’s a satellite and cable TV too. There are lots of satellite cable
channels. On average British people watch almost 24 hours of television a week. Most
households have at least one television and 46 per cent of British children have a television in
their bedroom.

School in Britain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCS_ZQZ_7hQ
- Do you go to school on Saturdays? Do you wear a uniform? Do you like school? Well, in
this programme we’ll look at British schools and British students.
Most children start Primary school at the age of 5. Then at 11 they go to a Secondary school. All
children stay at the Secondary school till the age of 16. At 16 in England they take GCSC
examinations, i. e. the General Certificate of Secondary Education. After these exams about 50
% of students leave school, the others usually study three subjects for two more years and then
take “A” levels or “Advanced” level examinations. About 20 % of teen years go to university.
They usually leave home and go to the university in a different town or city. Another 20 % go on
to overcome education or training.
This is “The John Mason School” in Abingdon near Oxford. Students go to school from Monday
to Friday and school starts at 9 o’clock. Hurry up, it’s nearly 9 o’clock. Most of schools are
mixed, they are for boys and for girls. And in most of secondary schools the students wear a
uniform. This is the first class of the day. It’s Maths. Hm, that’s a bit difficult. On average there
are about 22 students in a Secondary school class and about 27 in a Primary school class. British
students are of white choice of subjects. This is an Art class. Here’s a Food Technology class.
The students learn about food and cooking. This is a Design and Technology class, Science, of
course, and Foreign Languages. Many British schoolchildren only learn foreign language from
the age of 11. Most students study French. Other popular languages are Spanish and Italian. They also study other subjects, like Information Technology, History, Geography, English
Literature and Religion. Students have lessons in the morning and then a break for an hour for
lunch. Some go home for lunch, some bring sandwiches with them and some eat here in the
school canteen. What’s on the menu today? – Chips and beans. There are classes in the afternoon
and school finishes at about four o’clock. After school some students do other activities like
sport. Football’s very popular but so are other games like netball, rugby and badminton. And
some students learn music. Diana plays the violin. She is good. Oh, thank you. I am not. 92 % of
British schools are state schools. That means they are free. The government pays not the parents.
8 % of schools are independent. The parents of these students pay for their education. Some of
these independent schools are boarding schools. The students don’t live at home during the term
time, they live at the school. And some of these schools have very traditional uniforms. These
boys are from Eton, a very famous independent school near Windsor. What do British students
really think about their schools?
-
I think school is great!
-
I like school much of the time.
-
I really like History and Art.
-
I love Art and Drama.
-
I don’t like Geography.
-
I don’t like French.
- Homework is OK.
-
- Oh, I really hate homework.
-
-
I don’t like homework.
School food is all right sometimes.
I love school food.
Well, what do you think? Are British schools good? Or do you prefer your school?

Sports in Britain.

Hello! What sport do most British people like? Is it football, cricket, rugby or something else?
The answer is very surprising. In this programme we look at sport and we begin with some
famous sporting venues. This is Wembley – the scene of some great football matches. All tennis players want to win the
tournament at Wimbledon. St. Andrew’s, in Scotland, is the home of golf. Henley, on the River
Thames, is the centre of the world of rowing. And here, in London, is Lord’s. It’s the
headquarters of the game of cricket – a very British game! But sport isn’t only for experts – all
over Britain more and more people are taking up different sports and activities. Swimming’s
popular. There are over 20 thousand public swimming pulls in Britain.
I go swimming once a week.
I go swimming three times a week.
I go twice a week.
- How often do you go swimming?
-

-
- Why do you go swimming?
- Because it’s fun.
-
I go swimming because it’s fun, and it’s a great sport.
Lots of people go cycling. Over one thousand two hundred clubs belong to the British cycling
Federation. But the most popular sport in Britain is walking. About 40% of British people go
walking. There are 225 000 km. of national paths in England and Wales. These people are
walking along the Pennine Way. It’s a very popular walk and it’s 412 km. long. Of course, not
everybody walks from the start to the finish. The British love watching sport, too. On television
and live. Over 55 000 people go to see Manchester United play in Manchester on a Saturday or
Sunday afternoon. Horse racing, motor racing and rugby are also very popular. Sport is for
everybody – young and old. These people are doing aerobics. They do it to keep fit and because
they enjoy it. Some people are more serious about sport. You find people at this club every night
of the week. Some are training for competitions – some are hurdling – and some are running.
Come on. Go! Go! Go! Well done! That was a good time. Wow! Very fast. Most towns and
cities in Britain have a variety of sport clubs and facilities – like this athletics club. They often
have large sport centres, too. And don’t forget! In Britain you can also play some unusual and
interesting games. Cricket’s famous. But what’s this? It’s croquet. Originally a French game, it’s
popular in Britain especially if you have a large garden. Is this squash? No, it’s called real tennis.
Modern tennis comes from this game. And what’s this? It’s a Scottish game called curling. You
play it on ice! OK. On your marks. Get set. Go! I must get fit.

Festivals in Britain.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnYLWxdHCUI
British people celebrate some festivals like Christmas and Easter – with the rest of Europe. But some are
just British. Here’s a very British festival and a very noisy one! This is Guy Fawkes’ Night in Britain. On
the fifth of November every year British people remember Guy Fawkes – and his pot to blow up the King
and the Houses of Parliament in 1605. That’s Guy Fawkes and here he is under the Houses of Parliament.
Some soldiers are arresting him and taking him away. Every November the fifth British people burn a
model of Guy Fawkes. The models are called “guys”. Children make them out of old clothes. There are
lots of fireworks, too. What’s this? It’s Pancake Day. Pancake Day is in February. In some towns there
are Pancake Races. People throw pancakes in the air and race at the same time. And of course they eat
lots of pancakes, too. Look at these beautiful red roses. And here’s a card. Shh! Let’s have a look. To my
darling Julie with lots and lots of love from and look – there isn’t a name but look at all those kisses!
Why? Because today is a very romantic day. It’s St. Valentines Day. On the 14 th of February people
send cards to someone they are in love with. But they don’t sign the card. How do you know who it’s
from? You don’t . You guess. Now it’s October the 31st, and it’s Halloween! A festival of ghosts and
witches. People often have parties and children dress up as witches. But the really important festivals in
Britain are Easter and Christmas – especially Christmas. At Christmas people put up lots of decorations.
This is the Robinson’s Christmas tree. They keep their presents under it until Christmas Day. People often
spend Christmas with their families. On Christmas Day they give presents to their friends and family.
What’s Mrs. Robinson got? – Oh, how lovely! – lucky Mum! – Thank you, darling. Oh, great! Poor old
Dad’s got four pairs of socks! In the morning a lot of families go to church. They come back home and
have a special Christmas dinner – roast turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes and Brussels sprouts. These are
crackers. You pull at each end and inside there’s a little present, a paper hat and a joke. Listen to this:
“Where can you always find a cow?” – “In a Mooseum”. Mooseum – understand? Oh! Sorry! They
finish with a traditional Christmas pudding. Sometimes people put a silver coin in it. You don’t eat it! It
brings you good luck. After Christmas there’s the last festival of the old year or the first one of the new
year – New Year’s Eve. In Scotland they call it Hogmanay. All round the country people have parties.
And at midnight everyone sings a traditional song – “Auld Lang Syne”. In Trafalgar Square in London
there’s always a really big party. Tasks
