ХОД УРОКА

I. Организационный момент.

Teacher:

Good morning, students. Today we have a lesson in the form of the “Round Table”. We will talk about the educational system in Great Britain, America and Russia. You will do some activities, read the text, make up dialogues and discuss different types of schools. Let’ start the discussion.

There is a proverb “Education brings a child the world”. How do you understand it?

Pupil 1: I think education gives us the necessary knowledge about the world. We can learn many new things about different countries, their history and culture.

Teacher: Thank you. You are right.

II. Речевая зарядка.

Teacher:

To warm up let’s make a spider gram. Break into two groups and write as many words on the topic of education as you can. Here are lots of pieces of paper for you to do it. I’ll give you three minutes.

Now could you, please, put all of them on this desk and organize them into some order. Add missing words, if you need.

Students: organize all words into groups for subjects, levels of education, curriculum.

III. Активизация употребления в речи учащихся лексики по теме

«Education».

Teacher:

Thank you. I see you don’t like going to a college sometimes, but you have to.

What are reasons why you go to a college? Look at the screen. Please read and give your opinion. Put all reasons into two groups: the most important, the least important.

School…

• is a place where you can make new friends,

• helps you make your own decisions,

• helps you understand yourself better,

• teaches you to be polite.,

• helps you get knowledge,

• prepare for a future occupation,

• teaches you about countries, culture and the world,

• teaches you to be honest, clever and educated person.

Студенты читают предложения, выбирают наиболее важные причины, но потом делают вывод, что все причины одинаково важны.

Pupil 1: I think the most important reason is that a college helps you to get knowledge.

Pupil 2: As for me, the most important factor is that a college introduces you to

different people and the less important one is that it prepares for a future profession.

Pupil 3: And I guess all reasons are important.

Teacher:

Thank you .You are right. Colleges helps us to get knowledge and teaches you to be polite, honest and clever person. It introduces you to different people and you enjoy communicating with each other.

Now, let’s revise the vocabulary to the topic “Education”, look at the screen. The task is to match the kinds of schools to the definitions. But first let’s repeat the words all together.

1 nursery a) a school for advanced education, especially in a particular profession

2 kindergarten b) a school in the US and Canada for children of 14 or 15 to 18 years old

3 primary c) a school for children aged two to five

4 secondary d) a school for children who are between three and five years old

5 junior high e) a school for children between the ages of 11 and 16 or 18

6 high school f) a school for children between five and 11 years old in England

7 elementary g) a school in the US and Canada for Children aged between 12 and 14 or 15

8 college h) a school in the US for the first six years of a child’s education

Teacher: Thank you. You know the vocabulary well.

Key: 1 d, 2 c, 3 f, 4 e, 5 g, 6 b, 7 h, 8 a.

IY. Монологические высказывания учащихся по теме «Образование».

Teacher: Now we will watch a short film on Education in the UK. I’m handing you out the questions I’d like you to answer after watching it.

Учащиеся смотрят фильм, а затем отвечают на вопросы.

Teacher: Will you answer the questions?

• When does compulsory education start in England?

• How long does primary education last?

• How long does secondary education last?

• Which subjects do British children study at school?

• Which foreign languages are taught in British school?

• Is state education in Britain free?

Teacher: Now, I think, you have enough revived vocabulary to compare the Russian's and UK’s education systems. But before we start let’s tell about our education. Break into two groups and make questions you’d like to tell about. Firstly, tell about Russian’s system then compare both systems. In the end I expect to hear what you’d like to change in our education system. I give you 10 minutes to prepare and then 3 pupils from each group will report.

Примерный рассказ «Образование в России»

1 Children in our country begin going to school when they are 7 years old. Many children in Russia attend nursery school. Compulsory education in Russia starts at the age of 7, when children go to primary school. Primary education lasts for 4 years. Then pupils go to secondary school.

E.g. in the 8th Form pupils study many subjects: Russian, Literature, Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography, English, Computer Science, Physical Education, Art and others.

After 5 years of secondary education pupils take the General Certificate of Secondary Education examination. Most pupils take examinations in 4 subjects.

2 Compulsory education ends at 16. Some pupils may stay at secondary school for two years. Other pupils leave secondary school and go to colleges or technical secondary schools.

Children can receive high education if they graduate from institutes, universities and academies. Higher education begins at 18 and usually lasts for 5 or 6 years.

There are private schools in Russia. State education is free in our country.

St.1: I would like to have a swimming pool at school and practice swimming every day.

St. 2: I would like to have a sports centre and go in for sport there.

St. 3: I would like to have a billiard room and play there during breaks. Etc.
