Среди проблем, теоретически и экспериментально решаемых методикой иностранных языков, коммуникативная компетенция и способы ее достижения является одной из наиболее актуальных. Важной задачей учителя является создание реальных и воображаемых ситуаций общения на занятиях, используя для этого различные методы и приемы работы. При решении данной проблемы огромную роль играют технические средства обучения, которые позволяют дать учащимся более полную и точную информацию по изучаемой теме, повышают наглядность обучения и вызывают стремление к дальнейшему совершенствованию языковой культуры
Видеоматериалы – это технические средства обучения, относящиеся к современным методическим приемам. Учитель не только должен знать, что такое видеоматериалы, но и уметь применять их на практике. Только правильно владея методикой работы с видеоматериалами, он может донести знания до учащихся. Практическая значимость заключена в выработке некоторых рекомендаций по применению видеоматериалов в обучении иностранному языку, а именно подбор упражнений и текстов. Материалы данной работы могут быть использованы учителями старшей школы.

В настоящее время английский язык приобрел статус международного языка. Он стал неотъемлемой частью современной культуры, экономики, политики, спорта, образования, искусства, туризма, науки. Следует отметить, что устное и письменное общение на английском языке стало реальностью и необходимостью: мы часто сталкиваемся с TV-вещанием, простыми инструкциями по использованию на английском языке, а также общением с иностранцами, как в жизни, так и по интернету. Так, целью обучения иностранному языку является формирование коммуникативной компетенции, включающей в себя как языковую, так и социокультурную компетенцию, ибо без знания социокультурного фона нельзя сформировать коммуникативную компетенцию даже в ограниченных пределах. Изучение иностранного языка призвано сформировать личность, способную и желающую участвовать в межкультурной коммуникации.
Современные технические средства обучения выступают хорошими помощниками в решении этих задач. Особое место среди них занимают аудиовизуальные средства: кино, видеопрограммы и учебное телевидение.
Аудиовизуальная форма - это эффективная форма учебной деятельности, которая не только активизирует внимание учащихся, но и способствует совершенствованию их навыков аудирования и говорения, так как зрительная опора звучащего с экрана иноязычного особенности воздействия учебных видеофильмов на учащихся (способность управлять вниманием каждого учащегося и групповой аудитории, влиять на объем долговременной памяти и увеличение прочности запоминания, оказывать эмоциональное воздействие на учащихся и повышать мотивацию обучения) способствуют интенсификации учебного процесса и создают благоприятные условия для формирования коммуникативной (языковой и социокультурной) компетенции школьников звукового ряда помогает более полному и точному пониманию его смысла
Видеофильм имеет довольно сильное эмоциональное воздействие на учащихся, влияет на формирование личностного отношения к увиденному. Еще одним преимуществом видеофильма является непосредственность изображения реальной действительности, особая манера общения ведущего со зрителями (если это телепередача или телешоу), использование крупного плана, ненавязчивое предъявление информации, красочность, наличие музыкального фона. При соприкосновении с происходящим на экране создаются условия наиболее приближенные к естественным
В отличие от аудио или печатного текста, которые могут иметь высокую информативную, образовательную, воспитательную и развивающую ценность, видеотекст имеет то преимущество, что соединяет в себе различные аспекты акта речевого взаимодействия. Помимо содержательной стороны общения, видеотекст содержит визуальную информацию о месте события, внешнем виде и невербальном поведении участников общения в конкретной ситуации, обусловленных зачастую спецификой возраста, пола и психологическими особенностями личности говорящих
Существует огромное количество видеоматериалов, которые по стилю передаваемой информации можно разделить на следующие:
а) Художественные (мультфильмы, различные художественные фильмы, фрагменты спектаклей)
б) Научно-популярные, публицистические (интервью, документалльные и учебные фильмы)
в) Информационные (реклама, записи новостей, телепередач, видеоролики)
г) Старноведческие (видеоэкскурсии)
Наиболее важной в методическом плане является следующая классификация видеоматериалов:
1. Специально предназначенные для обучения иностранному языку (видеокурсы и другие учебные фильмы);
2. Предназначенные для носителей языка или аутентичные, включая художественные фильмы и прямую трансляцию телепрограмм в эфир;
3. Разработанные самими преподавателями и обучающимися.
Видеоматериалы, относящиеся к первым двум категориям, широко используются в процессе обучения из-за доступности и меньшей сложности в использовании. Видеоматериалы, разработанные самостоятельно, могут решить большее количество задач, поставленных учителем, так как учитель сам выбирает фрагменты для съемки и может повлиять на сам процесс, направить его в нужном направлении. Для создания таких материалов необходимо много времени, тщательное планирование и наличие технического оборудования. Как и сюжеты, специально предназначенные для обучения иностранному языку, самостоятельно разработанные фрагменты отличаются искусственно созданной речевой ситауцией.
Согласно Б.Томалину, можно выделить 2 типа учебных видеоматериалов:
а) непосредственно обучающие языку (direct teaching video)
б) выступающие в качестве дополнительного источника для обучения языку (resource video).
Для учебного материала первого типа характерно обучение прямо с экрана, где ведущий демонстрирует образцы структур. Роль учителя сводится к тому, чтобы с помощью книги для учителя и вспомогательных средств совершенствовать навыки и умения обучаемых.
Видео может быть хорошим стимулом, как для устного, так и для письменного высказывания.
Я разработала спецкурс «FilmEnglish», используя интернет-ресурс http://film-english.com.
Видеоматериал, представленный на данном сайте, непосредственно обучает языку и выступате в качестве дополнительного источника для обучения. Учащиеся не только запоминат и порторяют иноязычные стркутуры, но и учатся монологическому высказыванию по заданной тематике, практикуются в ведении диалога.
Видеоматериалы позволяет обучать учеников школы иноязычному общению с учетом различных социолингвистических факторов, представленных с помощью визуальной информации и во многом определяющих характер речевых высказываний коммуникантов, а именно: их социального статуса, характера взаимоотношений, пространственно-временных условий общения и др. Для обучения говорению я прменяю следующие упражнения:
· просмотр видеофрагмента без звука и ответы на вопросы о том, где находятся собеседники, каковы взаимоотношения между ними, различия в статусе;
· просмотр видеофрагмента обучаемыми без звука и определение, какой из двух предложенных на карточке диалогов (официальный или неофициальный) соответствует ему;
В обучении диалогической речи использую упражнения, направленные на:
- восстановление диалога, представленного в видеоэпизоде, на основе отдельных реплик, полученных каждым обучаемым;
- восстановление пропущенных реплик одного из персонажей;
- соотнесение каждой из 8-10 реплик, полученных обучаемыми перед просмотром, с определенным персонажем;
Упражнения, предназначенные для обучения монологической речи, включают:
- составление рассказа о том, что уже случилось к определенному моменту видеоэпизода, который прерван «стоп-кадром»; предположение о том, что произойдет дальше;
- восстановление пропущенной части сюжета видеофрагмента (начало, конец или кульминационное событие в середине эпизода);
- подготовка пересказа сюжета от имени одного из персонажей.
Спецкурс разработан и может использоваться в старших классах средней школы.

We who have been bullied. And we who have bullied others. And then there’s us, the lucky ones, who have had sex this past week. We who are brokenhearted. We who are madly in love. We who feel lonely. We who are bisexual. And we who acknowledge the courage of others. We who have found the meaning of life. And we who have saved lives. And then there’s all of us who just love Denmark. So maybe there’s more that brings us together than we think. TV2Danmark All that we share

Заключение
Выводы:
1. Можно отметить, что внедрение видео в процесс обучения иностранным языкам помогает решить многие задачи. Видео служит сильным стимулом к изучению иностранных языков. Обучаемые получают возможность применить и расширить свои знания на незнакомом аутентичном материале. Когда обучаемые осознают, что они в состоянии понимать иноязычную аутентичную речь, у них повышается самооценка и мотивация к изучению предмета.
2. Использование видео на занятих позволяет учащимся развить языковую догадку и расширить кругозор. У них появляется возможность узнать об истории, традициях, обычаях людей страны изучаемого языка. При работе над видеофрагментом задействованы все четыре вида коммуникативной деятельности: аудирование, говорение, чтение и письмо. Основное внимание уделяется аудированию, самому трудному аспекту в обучении иностранного языка. Видеоподдержка делает процесс обучения аудирорванию более эффективным.
3. Также использование видеоматериалов повышает активность учащихся. В работе с видео учащиеся получают огромное количество разнообразной информации, которая очень помогает при последующей работе на послесмотровом этапе, следовательно, видеоподдержка создает условия для самостоятельной работы обучаемых.
4. Важно отметить, что использование видео является очень важным приемом повышения качества знаний обучаемых и стимулирует их применять свои знания на практике.
