Урок в 5 классе "Лучшие достопримечательности Лондона"

LONDON`S GREATEST PLACES OF INTEREST

(Урок по английскому языку в 5 классе)

Сафина Г.М.

В условиях интенсивного взаимопроникновения культур, когда английский язык становится все более и более востребованным в общении с людьми других культур, важно чтобы учащиеся легко ориентировались в условиях нового времени, и именно билингвизм в системе образования способствует формированию человека новой культуры. Владение иными языками облегчает восприятие уникальной специфичности другой культуры. Этому способствуют и уроки английского языка, основной целью которых является межкультурная компетенция. Уроки должны быть яркими и живыми, обучаемый материал доступным и аутентичным, чтобы дети имели желание и возможность перенести свои знания в реальную жизнь, могли читать художественные произведения в оригинале, смотреть передачи и фильмы, слушать аудиокниги и песни на английском языке. Результатом обучения становится не столько коммуникативная, сколько социальная компетенция, а сам процесс обучения языку становится обучением диалогу культур.

 Цели:

1. Расширить представление учащихся о знаменитых  достопримечательностях  Лондона средствами  английского языка.

3. Воспитывать нормы вежливого поведения, формировать чувства общности интересов людей, говорящих на разных языках, формировать познавательный интерес к стране изучаемого языка

 Учащиеся читают текст о достопримечательности Лондона (колесе обозрения).

The London Eye is the largest Ferris wheel in Europe, and has become the most popular tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, visited by over three million people in one year. At the time it was erected, in 1999, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. It's 135 metres (443 ft) high, and on a clear day you can see all the way to Windsor Castle, which is over 40 km (25 miles) away. It has 32 sections (cabins) and each one holds up to 25 people. A ride  takes 30 minutes, and as the Eye only travels at just under 1 km  per hour, passengers get on and off while it is still moving.

The London Eye is located at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames in the London Borough of Lambeth in England, between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge.
    The London Eye was formally opened by the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, on 31 December 1999, although it was not opened to the public until March 2000 because of technical problems. Since its opening, the Eye, operated by Merlin Entertainments, has become a major landmark and tourist attraction.
     Since 1 January 2005, the Eye has been the focal point of London's New Year celebrations, with 10-minute fireworks displays taking place involving fireworks fired from the wheel itself.
