Методическая разработка "The Great North Drama"

Автор: Емельянова Наталия Ивановна

МБОУ "Видновская СОШ № 6", г.Видное, Московская область

 

Чтение представляет собой сложный психолингвистический процесс восприятия текста, результатом которого является его понимание. Практика обучения навыкам чтения показала, что учащиеся затрудняются понимать письменную речь с одного предъявления, что не соответствует естественным условиям восприятия информации. Одной из основных особенностей понимания как раз и является умение соотносить известные слова с новым контекстом, т.е. понимать каждый раз заново одни и те же слова в новых спонтанных предложениях. 

Для того, чтобы реализовать острую проблему понимания надо проводить серьезную кропотливую работу с семантизацией и трансформацией лексики, так как развить навыки понимания можно лишь тогда, когда учащийся не только узнает слова и структуры, но и заменяет их эквивалентными образцами, проникая таким образом в тайны комбинаторики.  

Все сказанное выше способствовало тому, что на этапе после чтения текста стали использоваться упражнения, составленные по принципу комбинаторики, направленные на формирование навыков спонтанного понимания текста. Учитель, удачно комбинируя языковый материал, создает наиболее эффективные условия для практики в чтении все новых предложений и формирования навыков понимания синтетического вида чтения (спонтанного). СОШ№9 в течение 2018-2019 года использовались аналогичные упражнения, чтобы определить способствуют ли они улучшению понимания прочитанного текста. В начале года был дан текст, составленный из лексики 6, 7 и 8 классов для исходной проверки понимания и выполнены задания «post-reading»

 

Text 1. THE GREAT NORTH DRAMA

One of the great dramas of the North takes place in the tundra every autumn. When heavy snow covers the ground and it becomes impossible to get enough food from under the snow reindeer get ready to move to the south towards the woods; where the food could be got easier and where there is much more of it in the winter.

The reindeer prepare for the great move. They gather into a large group. The life of every reindeer depends upon his reaching the group in time. It is very important for every one of them to be close to the group this time of the year.

The group usually is headed by a leader; who is the strongest, the biggest, and the bravest of the reindeer.

The leader organizes the group, guards it, and defends on it. He knows no fear. Whenever the trouble comes he is ready to fight. He leads way when it becomes difficult. He chooses the right time to run and rest. He is the first one to discover the enemy and to act before it attacks.

The worst enemies of the reindeer are the wolves. There are a lot of them around. As soon as the reindeer begin to move on their way, the wolves arrive. They come close to the group and accompany them for weeks. The wolves choose an older or an ill reindeer and watch him for some time. When looking for the food he leaves the group and walks a few yards aside, the wolves immediately get around him and cut his way back. Soon the reindeer discovers what has happened. He is surprised. He feels the trouble, but is alone with the wolves all around him. Now he can depend upon himself. The wolves try to jump at him. If he is strong enough he fights back killing some of the wolves. The wolves let him stand alone for some time walking around him and resting before the next attack. They know that they have all the advantages over him and would kill him now.

The reindeer has to walk around and be very attentive expecting his enemy to jump at any time. He has to be prepared for the next fight. He doesn’t expect any help because the rest of the reindeer had moved far away by now. He can’t eat because his attention is on his enemy all the time. A few minutes pass by. The wolves wait and rest. Their purpose is to catch the reindeer by surprise and they usually achieve it. Suddenly they launch a new attack. They run at him from behind and try to jump at his neck. The strongest of the wolves makes a long jump and gets his teeth into the reindeer’s back. He hangs on him and makes every effort to bring him down with his weight. At this time the rest of the wolves come fast at him. Now the fight doesn’t last very long any more. The reindeer is down and the wolves kill him immediately.

The wolves eat the reindeer, stay for some time and rest, then move on. Soon they catch the group again and continue to follow it with the same purpose. They kill another reindeer, and then the next and the next. This race goes on and on. Hundreds of reindeer lose their lives in the terrible struggle with the wolves by the time their group arrives at the new place.

Ответы на задания «post-reading» были взяты за исходный уровень понимания текста. Результаты понимания были на среднем уровне.

Многие тексты, читаемые в течение учебного года, проверялись посредством упражнений, специально составленных и подобранных. Например, методические разработки в виде альтернативных заявлений использовались устно учителем. В течение всего года учащиеся имели возможность тренировать навыки аудирования при проверке понимания прочитанных текстов. Другие упражнения по проверке понимания проводились письменно.

В конце учебного года была проведена вторая, заключительная проверка. Контрольный текст для исходной проверки был составлен на базе языкового материала 6, 7, 8 и 9 классов, что указывает на большую сложность этого текста, по сравнению с предъявленным в начале года.

 

Text 2. для заключительной проверки понимания

The Roaring Machine Liberated Reindeer From Their Enemies

This year cold and bad weather came early. Heavy snow added more trouble. The snow became thick and hard to break in order to provide grass and leaves from under it. Soon the reindeer came to realize that their independent life was over, hard and thick snow reminded them that the time had come to move to the south.

The group had gathered and the leader’s call rang long and clear like an order for all to hear and to carry out. The reindeer raised their heads and stepped closer to each other. It seemed as if the leader had offered them to start on the great journey and all shared his enthusiasm.

The wolves did not miss their opportunity. They discovered the group as soon as the reindeer had moved a few kilometers. They stepped out of the white tundra and moved directly behind the reindeer. They were thin and hungry but in several weeks running along with the reindeer for several hundred kilometers, they would become strong again with fine coats of grey fur.

Soon there were more of them. They were active and aggressive ready to get into action whenever the opportunity offered itself. Soon the first reindeer was caught by them, then the next and the next. Many more were added to the number of those who wanted to step aside for tasty grass or a nice green branch. The wolves were always hungry they were never satisfied. They killed the reindeer with professional enthusiasm, which was their natural wolfish occupation shared by all wolves in tundra. Then suddenly one day something happened. A great big machine came flying like a bird in the sky. The roaring machine was terrible. It came nearer and nearer and it roared like a storm. The wolves raised their heads and looked at the terrible bird in the sky. They understood what it was because they had seen it before. It reminded some of them of the horrible experience it had produced before. They felt trouble. The wolves immediately broke away from the reindeer and run as fast as they could. Inside the terrible machine two military men

were sitting at the wide open door. They took aim quickly and shot at the wolves. They shot with good professional experience and after each shot a wolf would turn over and fall down on the snow. They flew directly behind the wolves killing more and more of them. Soon the roaring machine flew over a hill and was heard no more.

Как и во время исходной проверки этот текст был сначала прочитан учащимися, после чтения они делали задания только в режиме «post-reading». Результаты проверки показали, что учащиеся продемонстрировали более высокий прирост понимания усвоенного материала по сравнению с данными в начале учебного года. Это дает нам основание сделать заключение об эффективности методических разработок в процессе обучения синтетическому чтению.
