Видеозанятия в системе обучения иностранной речи
естовые задания должны составляться в соответствии с государственным образовательным стандартом. Для учащихся, изучающих иностранный язык углубленно, могут быть предложены дополнительные задания.Непременным условием успешности тестового контроля является использование тестов в функции упражнений в ходе тренировочной работы. Тогда ученики будут четко представлять, какие именно умения требуются от них при выполнении того или иного задания теста, что и как будет оцениваться в итоге.Согласно критериям государственного стандарта обученности по иностранным языкам школьники, правильно выполнившие не менее 60% тестов и тестовых заданий, достигли минимального уровня обученности, зафиксированного в стандарте, что должно оцениваться по типу зачетной системы: достигнут / или не достигнут уровень стандарта.Результаты тестовых работ могут быть оценены отметками в баллах. Для каждого типа учебных заведений можно рассчитать свою норму выведения отметки на основе стандартной оценки.Для классов гимназий и лицеев, где иностранный язык изучается углубленно, можно предложить следующие оценочные критерии:“5” - учащийся выполнил правильно 90-100% тестовых заданий, продемонстрировав высокий уровень сформированности языковых навыков и речевых умений.“4” - учащийся выполнил правильно 80-89% тестовых заданий, допустив некоторые ошибки и недочеты.“3” - правильно выполнено 60-79% тестовых заданий.В обычной средней школе оценочные критерии могут быть несколько ниже. Изложенное выше свидетельствует о том, что тест в учебном процессе можно применять и в качестве тренировочного упражнения, и как средство контроля. Результаты тестирования позволяют определять уровень обученности учащихся и выявить перспективы и тенденции в развитии образования. Методически грамотно организованное тестирование позволяет осуществлять обратную связь и, таким образом, способствует повышению эффективности обучения иностранному языку.Приложение IТестовыве задания по лексике, грамматике и чтению, представленные ниже, отвечают принципу доступноссти и программным требованиям, предъявляемым к учащимся средних школ, гимназий и лицеев. Тесты не разделены по классам и не соотнесены с процессом обучения. Они могут использоваться учителем по его усмотрению на протяжении всего курса обучения (V - XI классы) позволяя выявить общие, типичные ошибки учащихся. Наряду с самооценочными тестами (“Test Yourself”), предложенными в современных учебниках английского языка для средней школы, представляется целесообразным использовать и проверочные тесты (revision tests), являющиеся эффективной формой контроля в обучении иностранному языку.

The Stone Age was a period of history which began in approximately million B.C. and lasted until 3000 B.C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientists found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic Ages. During the first period, (2 million to 8000 B.C.) the first hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed. As a result of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, and develop new tools. During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B.C.) people made crude pottery and the first fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed a bow and arrow, which was used until the fourteenth century A.D. The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B.C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than in previous eras, establishing permanent settlements, and creating governments. 1.

Read the text and answer the questions. The Spartans lived in that part of southern Greece called Laconia. Sometimes people called them Spartans and sometimes Laconians. Those people were very brave and their way of life was very simple. One of their rules was that they should always speak very briefly (кратко) using no more words than were necessary. To this day we often call a short answer laconic; that is, such an answer as a Laconian might give. There was in northern Greece a land called Macedonia, ruled over by a king, Philip by name. Philip wanted to become head of all Greece. He had a great army and conquered state after state. But although his strength was so great, Laconia remained free. When Philip reached Laconia, he sent a letter to the brave Spartans saying, “If I conquer your country, I will level your great city to the ground.” In a few days he saw the answer brought to him. Upon opening the letter he found only one word written in it. That word was “If”. 1. Why did Laconians speak very briefly? 2. What do we call a short answer? 3. Why did Philip attack Laconia? 4. Why did Spartans answer Philip's letter in one word? 5. Do you always speak laconically? When do you speak laconically? 32. Read the text and answer the questions.

Children and Work England could be growing richer using the workforce of schoolchildren who are working too young. Perhaps England has about a million children workers. A national study that will be organised by specialist Chris Pond, will find out if employers are making young people do difficult work for a child's wages. Mr. Pond says the aim of the study is not to stop children's work. He thinks many young people enjoy working - and they especially enjoy the pocket money they earn. However, they may also be paid less money. They risk being in danger and they miss school very often. Six weeks ago the Government started a campaign against children missing classes, with a plan to punish parents who allow their children not to go to school regularly. Politicians were shocked by a new report which showed as many a seven out of 10 children who don't got to school at least once a month. Through his study, Mr. Pond also hopes to find out what children spend their money on. `I don't expect to find that they are working to help their families- although some might be. Most are likely to be spending money on compact discs and sporting clothes for themselves,' he said. 1. What becomes clear from this part of the text? In England A. children who have a job earn a lot of money. B. many children who are not old enough have jobs. C. parents often force their children to take on jobs. 2. What will Chris Pond try to find out? A. What kind of work children ususally do. B. Whether working children are paid too little. C. Why so many children have jobs. 3. What does this part of the text make clear? A. Children should not be allowed to work for money. B. Young people often know the disadvanges of jobs very well. C. Working not only has positive but also negative sides for children. 4. What sort of campaign did the Government start six weeks ago? A campaign against A. children behaving badly to teachers. B. children having all kinds of jobs. C. children staying away from school a lot. 5. What does Mr. Pond want to find out? A. How much money working children have to give to their parents. B. On what things children spend the money they have earned. C. With what kind of work children earn most. 34. Read the text. Choose the best answer to each question.

A brillant businessman, he also created Disneyland which proved to be as much an innovation in the world of outdoor entertainment as Disney films were in the world of motion pictures. From the very beginning of his remarkable career, Walt Disney lived on the edge of tomorrow. Dreaming impossible dreams. And daring to make them come true. Walt Disney was born in Chicago in 1901. His father was Irish-Canadian and his mother was of German-American origin. He remembered nothing of his early years in Chicago, but the memories of Marceline, Missouri, stayed with him throughout his life. He revealed a talent for drawing and an interest in photography very early. In 1911, when Walt was ten years old, the family moved to Kansas City. Mr. Disney bought a newspaper delivery business, and the father expected Walt to help with the newspaper business and deliver newspapers. After school Walt and his brother worked for their father. On Saturday mornings Walt took classes in painting and drawing at the Kansas City Art Institute. Then one day Walt saw a silent film version of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” This film and the way it was projected onto the screen fascinated Walt. In 1917 Walt Disney moved to Chicago and took a job at the post office. He worked long hours delivering mail, going to school and taking classes at Chicago's Academy of Fine Arts. Some of his pictures were cartoons in the Chicago newspapers. He drew comic pictures and sketches of politicians and people in the news. The short comments under them poked fun at them. Elias Disney, Walt's father, could not understand his son's fascination with the entertainment world, nor did his sympathize with Walt's ambition to be a cartoonist. During the First World War, Walt Disney joined the American Red Cross as an ambulance driver, but when in 1919 the American Ambulance Corps was disbanded, he boarded the ship for the voyage back to America and the start of his career. He went back to Kansas City where he got a job with an advertising company. It lasted only six weeks, but it taught him many things about working in the art field. His next job was drawing cartoons for screen advertisement in movie theatres, just like TV commercials today. By 1923, Hollywood had become a company town, and movie makers started arriving in California. Walt Disney asked for work as a director and was turned away. There were no cartoonists in Hollywood; the animation business was centered in New York. He found a man in New York to buy his films and hired some art students. Together they made seven animated cartoons but the man in New York ran off with the money made from the cartoons. Walt was forced to close his company, but wasn't discouraged. He loved cartoons and was full of ideas. He decided to start all over again in California where movies were being made. In Hollywood Walt rented an old camera and a garage which he turned into a small studio. He made a series of “Alice in Cartoonland” cartoons. Cinema owners bought them as quickly as he could make them. In 1927, he had some success with the series called “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit,” but it was not until 1928, when “Steamboat Willie” appeared, the first “Mickey Mouse” with sound, that he achieved lasting success. Mickey Mouse became a household word, together with such companions as Minnie, Pluto, and perhaps the favourite of them all- Donald Duck. By 1930, Walt Disney had created 12 Mickey Mouse cartoons. They all were very popular with children and adults all over the world. Then another great invention was made- colour in movies. Walt started making long colour cartoons. These included “Pinocchio”, “Bambi”, “Cinderella”, “Alice in Wonderland” and many others. After World War II Walt made not only animated films, but movies about real animals. The film, “Seal Island” was made. Later Walt made many nature films, among them “Beaver Valley”and “Living Desert.” In 1955, he branched out into a different enterprise- “Disneyland”, a huge amusement park in southern California. Of all the show places, none was as famous as Disneyland. This superb kingdom of fantasy linked to technology was created by Walt Disney. Honours were given to Walt Disney. The highest came on September 14, 1964, when President Johnson presented him with the Medal of Freedom at the White House. Walt Disney died in 1966 at the age of 65. the New York Times wrote, “He had a genius for innovation; his production was enormous; his hand was ever on the public pulse. He was a legend in his own lifetime- and so honored many times over.”Walt Disney is gone but each year lots of new movies and cartoons are made in his studios.
