Основной целью обучения иностранным языкам является формирование и развитие коммуникативной культуры школьников, а также обучение практическому овладению английским языком.

В последние годы все острее чувствуется необходимость усиления патриотического воспитания молодого поколения. Использование местного и краеведческого материала при обучении английского языка расширяет кругозор обучающихся, развивает их познавательный интерес, помогает в выборе профессии и является одним из средств повышения уровня положительной мотивации учения.

Региональный компонент на уроке пробуждает у учащихся познавательный интерес к родному краю. Разные игры, кроссворды с использованием краеведческого материала помогают внести разнообразие в уроки, учат говорить на английском языке о том, что его окружает, что ему близко и дорого с детства, чем он горд и готов поделиться этим с окружающими.

Задача данных уроков состоит в том, что – бы соприкоснуться с историей и культурой Донбасса. В познании Родины участвует, помимо сознания, еще и сердце. Оно и окрашивает «патриотизм» живыми красками непосредственного, личного опыта.

Использование материала о Донбассе позволяет ученикам оперировать в учебной беседе теми фактами и сведениями, с которыми они сталкиваются в своей повседневной жизни.

Работа с краеведческим материалом может быть частью, этапом урока, отдельным уроком.

- самостоятельную работу с книгой;

- экскурсии на иностранном языке;

- проектную деятельность;

- выступления с сообщениями, докладами на уроках, участие на научно-практических конференциях.

Our land is famous for many names. The whole world knows such names as Arhip Kuindzhy, Iosif Kobzon, Alexander Hanzhonkov, Sergey Bubka, Liliya Podkopayeva etc.

The History of Donbass

From the History of Donbass The earliest evidence of human habitation on the territory of modern Donbass dates back to the late New Stone age. According to the first written historical documents (by Herodotus and other ancient historians) all the territories situated to the north of the Black Sea (ancient authors called it the Pontic Sea) were inhabited by the Scythians. In the valley of the Kalmius river, where Donetsk is located there lived Cimmerians, Sarmatians, Goths, Slavs. However, Donbass steppes were weakly populated and the lack of protected borders allowed nomadic peoples (e.g. Pechenegs, Cumans, Khazars, and Tatars) to carry out their attacks on that territory.

From the XIII to the XVI century the land near the Kalmius river was not populated. A small village located on the bank of the steppe river Kalmius was fated to become a great industrial city, the center of the largest industrial region. A generous gift of nature — coal marked the beginning of its development. In 1866, the Russian engineer A. Mevius proved the necessity of ironworks building on the right bank of the Kalmius river near the settlement Aleksandrovka. There was everything for that purpose: coal— in the lands near the Kalmius, iron ore - not far from Karakuba (now the city of Komsomolsk in Starobeshevskiy district), limestone —near the village of Elenovka, and river water – close at hand.

In 1866, Prince Kochubey was allowed to construct an iron rail plant from the local materials. In 1869, for a large reward — 24 thousand pounds, the Prince let have his rights to the 55-year-old metallurgist John Hughes - a manager of a small factory near London. The construction of a metallurgical plant began in the summer of 1869. That`s why this date is considered to be one of Donetsk foundation. By that time there were already existed the settlement of 21 Alexandrovka, Alekseevka, Avdotyino, Grigorievka, Semenovka, and the village Ovechiy. Hughes signed the Treaty to found ‘Novorossiysk Coal, Iron and Rail ProductionCompany’ and ‘Railroad Line Kharkiv-Azov Company’ with the Committee of Ministers of Russia.

In April 1869 the Russian government approved the agreement on starting coal mining and the metallurgical plant construction. John Hughes was appointed a manager by the founders of ‘Novorossiysk Company’. In the summer of 1869 he settled on the bank of the Kalmius river and constructed a smithy, which was the first auxiliary shopwork of the future metallurgical plant. Next to the building there was a settlement, which has merged with the mining settlement of the Alexandrovsky mine and was named Yuzovka, after its founder - the English business manager - Hughes. The construction of the plant and mines began in 1869.

In the summer of 1870, John Hughes brought machinery and tools on 8 ships from Britain (mainly from the South Wales) to Donbass. Also, about one hundred experts — metallurgists and miners came from the South Wales to Donbass. As a result —John Hughes and his small group of workers managed to build the first blast furnace in less than 8 months. It started working on the 24th of April, 1871.

On the 24th of January, 1872 it produced its first cast iron. In September 1873 the Yuzovsky Factory began to work on the finished cycle and soon got the first place in the country for the production of metal. Hughes ' plant (today the Donetsk Metallurgical Plant) marked the beginning of a large metallurgy of Donbass.
