Тип урока: Урок чтения. Комплексный, структурные части и их последовательность подобраны правильно, лимит времени на каждый этап урока соблюден в соответствии с психолого-педагогическими особенностями учащегося первого класса. Наблюдается системная работа учителя на уроках, так как дети умеют по-разному отвечать на общие вопросы. Учащиеся активно работают и проявляют интерес, не смотря на ранний возраст, дисциплина довольно хорошая. Плотность урока – все в рамках нормы, дети не успевают рассеивать внимание. Все время использовано рационально: пока дети выполняют задание – учитель готовит следующее и помогает низкомтивированным учащимся. Используется проектная методика и форма работы в группах.
Содержание урока: правильно подобрано в соответствии с психолого-педагогическими особенностями учащихся, в соответствии с учебной программой и КТП. Присутствует и воспитательная направленность урока, практическое применение знаний. Большой плюс – повторение и ранее пройденного материала – исключений степени сравнения прилагательных. Не менее важно – реализация программы полиязычия, учитель спрашивает или дает намеки, отвечает не на родном языке, учащихся ,а на иностранном. Речь учителя грамотна и поставленная, а самое главное – темп речи подстроен для понимания учащихся. Ощутимо высокое качество знаний большинства учеников. Речь учеников довольно развита – что наблюдается во время лексической разминки.
Наглядные пособия: широко использовались на данном уроке – раздаточный материал – карточки с заданиями, презентация на экране компьютера. Учитель использует дружеский язык общения, вместо указания на ошибку – учитель старается помочь ученику самому распознать и исправить свою ошибку (“Finger correction”), все используемые методы соответствуют целям и содержанию урока, уровню подготовки учащихся. Подведение итогов было в виде рефлексии с помощью стикеров. Учитель владеет методами активного обучения, целесообразно их применил в данном уроке. Учитель оценивает учащихся стикерами, и словесно – это мотивирует детей во время и после урока.
