The extracurricular activity was carried out using elements of a system-activity approach. Mass cultural events, an evening celebration dedicated to the folk traditions of the native country and the country whose language is being studied. Number of students present: 18. The student population is average. 13 students from 5th grade. This selection is related to the holding of subject Olympiads, so the contingent of children changed several times. In this regard, preparation for the event had its own difficulties and took the guys from 2 to 5 days.
The goals and objectives of the event fully comply with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard (NQF). The equipment is prepared for the start of the holiday. The stage contained the information necessary during the lesson, equipment, tables and chairs were arranged in accordance with the number of students. Incentives have been prepared for the children. Visualization contributed to a better perception of the material and tasks, in addition, they activated and maintained the students’ attention throughout the entire event and developed cognitive interest.
The hall was prepared for the lesson: temperature, lighting, furniture met the standards, the hall was clean. Students are ready for class: there are wall newspapers on the stand, poems have been learned, material on the topic is repeated. The organization of the lesson met the requirements of valeology: ergonomic conditions were met; there was a change of activities, a musical break (physical minute); optimal pace of the event. The lesson is aimed at developing cross-cultural and communicative competencies of students. Teaching a foreign language throughout the holiday in the context of a dialogue of cultures (comparing two cultures - Russian and English) is a powerful factor in the personal development of students. The choice of the type and topic of the lesson corresponds to the celebration of Christmas and New Year, as well as the purpose of the lesson and language learning in general.
In preparation for the lesson, educational standards and program requirements for speaking (based on text) were used. The teacher acts as an instructor and consultant (according to the Singapore method, a facilitator). The lesson is based on material that allows students to use it for future oral presentations as well.
Throughout the lesson, the following general didactic principles were implemented:
1.
The principle of consciousness:
students’ understanding of the content of foreign language speech, awareness of the units of which speech consists, and ways of using such units. The implementation of this principle is carried out through working with vocabulary on the topic (level of words, phrases, sentences).
2.
The principle of activity
assumed the speech activity of students during the entire event, the main sources of which were goals, desires and interests.
3
The principle of visibility.
There were linguistic and non-linguistic visual displays at the festival.
4
.
The principle of strength
ensured the retention of educational material in memory and the possibility of its use in various types of speech activity.
5.
The principle of accessibility and feasibility,
because the material was presented in accordance with the age and intellectual capabilities of students (identified based on the analysis of the foreign language program, in the process of studying the age characteristics of adolescence (the level of development of mental processes; VVD and neoplasms of a given age).
6
In addition, we implemented a psychological and pedagogical principle
- the principle of continuity, which
provided students with the opportunity to express their personal attitude and their own judgment.
Proper methodological principles:
1
.
The principle of communication
.
2.
The principle of interconnected teaching of types of speech activity:
3. The principle of taking into account the level of language proficiency:
organizing a holiday in accordance with language training through the use of multi-level materials.
During the entire event, methods of organizing educational and cognitive activities were implemented: according to the source of information transmission - verbal, visual, practical (questions). At the same time, the individual characteristics of the classes were taken into account (general academic skills are at an average level, the level of mental development is high).
4. During the lesson, a psychological principle was implemented - the principle of motivation,
that is, the organization of an emotionally positive attitude of students towards the learning process itself. This principle was implemented through the use of emotional stimulation methods.
5. During the event, the principle of taking into account the individual psychological and age characteristics
of the individual was also implemented,
because When organizing and holding the holiday, the individualization of training was taken into account. The content of the holiday included tasks of medium and high complexity, taking into account the interests and capabilities of students.
At the end of the lesson there were incentives “Fine”, “Well done”, sweet prizes, etc., which contributed to the creation of a productive atmosphere during the entire event. Students are full of energy and show interest in the subject. According to the Singaporean method, the ENVIRONMENT method was used, at the end a chant was heard - TIMCHIR. They easily entered into dialogue, answered questions, and provided feedback.
The success of the lesson lies in the fact that the main figure of the entire holiday is the student with his interests, abilities, and life experience. Students, participating in collective interaction, try to use their language capabilities, and this is a good basis for motivation and increasing interest in learning English.
