Инновационных методических разработок

Студентам предлагается изучить предложенные примеры возможных способов выражения побуждения в английском и русском языках и назвать особенности использования соответствующих коммуникативных стратегий.

Изучив представленные выше примеры, студенты делают вывод о том, что в английском языке побудительные речевые акты носят более косвенный характер по сравнению с русским. Преподаватель поясняет, что для смягчения выражения побуждения в английском языке используются так называемые стратегии дистанцирования. Далее студентам сообщаются базовые сведения о стратегиях коммуникативного поведения, в целом, и об основных особенностях англоязычного коммуникативного поведения, в частности.

Студентам предлагается выполнить тест на определение уровня владения англоязычными коммуникативными стратегиями. Тест проводится в письменной форме с последующим групповым обсуждением. Наряду с диагностическими задачами, настоящее тестирование имеет целью помочь студентам осознать собственные дефициты в области владения коммуникативными стратегиями. Каждый вопрос оценивается в 1 балл. Максимальный балл за весь тест - 20 баллов.

Интерпретация результатов осуществляется следующим образом:

16-20 – высокий уровень владения стратегиями;

8-15 – достаточный уровень владения стратегиями;
