ВВЕДЕНИЕ

 

Ролевая игра — ситуативно-управляемое речевое упражнение, направленное на совершенствование речевых навыков и умения говорения. Ролевые игры способствуют развитию воображения и творческих способностей студента, навыков межличностного общения, учебного сотрудничества и взаимодействия. Практикум «Английский язык: Ролевые игры» разработан для студентов разных направлений подготовки бакалавриата с целью формирования указанных умений и навыков.

Рекомендуемая техника проведения ролевой игры предполагает следующие этапы:

1) подготовительный этап по выполнению упражнений на закрепление необходимых в ролевой игре лексических единиц и грамматических структур, ознакомление с правилами игры/сценарием, распределение ролей, сбор дополнительной информации;

2) основной этап – проведение игры, в ходе которой решаются проблемные ситуации, имитирующие ситуации бытового и межкультурного общения;

3) заключительный этап – групповая рефлексия, аргументированное обсуждение, анализ и оценка хода и результатов игры, выводы.

Пособие состоит из пятнадцати разделов. Каждый раздел включает в себя целевую установку, речевые клише, задания и ролевые игры разных уровней сложности (Level 1 – базовый уровень; Level 2 – средний уровень), дополнительные задания для совершенствования навыков разговорной диалогической речи (Additional Practice) и задания для самостоятельного и взаимного оценивания уровня сформированности языковой коммуникативной компетентности студентов (Self-assessment/Peer-assessment).

В приложении представлены таблицы с критериями оценивания лексического, грамматического, фонетического и коммуникативного аспекта диалогической речи, что позволит преподавателю адекватно оценить результаты обучения и соответственно скорректировать учебный процесс, а студентам даст возможность определить свой уровень развития языковой коммуникативной компетенции и совершенствовать навыки диалогической речи.

Разработанный материал является частью ФОС (фонда оценочных средств) в рамках УМК по дисциплине «Иностранный язык» (направления 50.03.03 История искусств, 51.03.01 Культурология, 37.03.01 Психология  и др.).
