Рецензент: Радченко Т.В., методист навчально-методичного кабінету іноземних мов КОІПОПК

У посібнику систематизовано досвід роботи вчителів щодо активізації навчальної діяльності учнів. Зібрані матеріали для учнів початкової та середньої школи, допоможуть урізноманітнити види діяльності, сприятимуть артикуляційно-інтонаційному тренуванню, підвищенню інтересу учнів до вивчення іноземної мови та створенню сприятливого психологічного клімату на уроці.

ЗМІСТ

Вступ

На сучасному етапі викладання іноземної мови комунікативний підхід має провідну позицію. Його суть зводиться до інтерактивної природи спілкування.

Правильна фонетика створює дітям психологічний комфорт в іншій мові. У молодшому віці діти роблять помилки природно, вдало долаючи їх і таким чином значно швидше рухаючись під час навчання. В цей період у дітей яскраво виражається здібність до імітації: вони абсолютно точно відтворюють чужу фонетику. У цей час не пізно правильно поставити дитині звуки, як у носія мови. А от учні середньої школи, яким важко дається вимова, почуваються дискомфортно на уроках іноземної мови. Англійський методист Г. Пальмер, який надавав дуже великого значення початку вивчення іноземної мови, писав: ‘Take care of the first two stages and the rest will take care of itself’.

Виходячи з цього, зрозумілим є інтерес вчителів англійської мови до ефективного використання допоміжних засобів, які полегшують учням опанування важких для вимови звуків, запам’ятовування словосполучень, засвоєння нової лексики, спонтанне відтворення граматичних структур, допомагають дітям долати психологічний бар’єр при спілкуванні іноземною мовою.

Матеріали посібника можуть бути використані у роботі вчителів іноземної мови, які викладають в школі І та ІІ ступенів, при підготовці до уроків та для позакласної роботи.

Вірші та римування для навчання вимови звуків у початковій школі

На думку багатьох сучасних методистів ознайомлення з новим фонетичним явищем , насамперед із звуками , має відбуватись у звуковому тексті шляхом наочної, трохи перебільшеної демонстрації його особливостей. Текст є природним середовищем будь-якого мовного явища, у тому числі й фонетичного. Важливу роль у процесі автоматизації відіграють зразки або еталони вимови, які сприймають учні . Демонстрація зразків різних рівнів може здійснюватись учителем або диктором .

Для навчання вимови іншомовних звуків використовуються: а) вправи на рецепцію; б) на репродукцію. Вони тісно пов’язані між собою і націлені на формування як слухових , так і мовних навичок.

Прослуховування готових мовних штамів є трохи нудним та не дуже цікавим для дітей , які тільки починають вивчати іноземну мову або під час фонетичної чи мовної зарядки на середньому періоді вивчення іноземної мови. Більш цікавіше для дітей це проходить при використанні ігор, скоромовок , римувань , в яких повторюється звук, що вивчається, або відпрацьовується його вимова.

На середньому етапі вивчення англійської мови для відпрацювання фонетичних явищ можна використати скоромовки, в яких повторюється певний звук. Після введення скоромовки та її детального опрацювання з наступним вивченням, можна ускладнити завдання поставлене перед учнями. Запропонуйте конкурс на найшвидше і безпомилкове відтворення скоромовки. Це завдання буде посильне для учнів з різним рівнем знань.

Коли учні добре засвоїли римування з попередніх уроків можна провести гру “Rhymes in Pictures”. Учитель по черзі показує ілюстрації; учні , відгадавши, до яких віршів зроблено ілюстрації, декламують їх, дотримуючись норм англійської вимови і правильної інтонації.

Гра “Rhymester” містить складніше завдання. У записаному вірші/римуванні пропущені останні слова в рядках, учні повинні підібрати за змістом слова, що римуються.

“The Computer is Out of Order” – всі слова вірша/римування записані разом без пропусків між ними. Учні отримують завдання розбити текст на слова і прочитати його.

Jaw and tongue games. - сприяють постановці правильної артикуляції. Вчитель слідкує за тим , щоб вірш читався не поспішаючи . Після кожного рядка робиться пауза , щоб виконати необхідний рух губами.

Good Rules in Rhymes

I know a child, and who she is

I’ll tell you by and by.

When Mamma says, ‘Do this’ or ‘that’

She says, ‘What for?’ and ‘Why?’

She’ll be a better child by far

If she says, ‘I’ll try’.

Whole Duty of Children

A child should always say what’s true

And speak when he is spoken to,

And behave mannerly at table,

At least as far as he is able.

Mind the clock and keep the rule;

Try to come in time to school.

Stop! Look!

The trams and cars in our town

Run up and down, up and down!

Stop! Look at the light!

First look to the left

And then to the right.

Four Little Words

There are four little words

That can help a lot.

When you hurt your friend

On purpose or not.

So say the four words,

Don’t wait too long!

If you’ve hurt your friend

Say, ‘I’m sorry. I’m wrong’.

Magic Words

Hearts like doors will open with ease

To very, very little keys:

And don’t forget that they are these:

‘We thank you all’, and ‘If you please’.

Be Polite

Don’t be afraid to be polite,

To say, ‘Good Morning’ or ‘Good Night!’,

‘I beg your pardon’, ‘Excuse me, please!’

And many more words just like these:

‘I’ll help you, madam, please, don’t worry’,

‘You’re so kind’, ‘I’m so sorry’,

‘How do you do?’, ‘Do take my seat’,

‘Oh, let me help you cross the street’.

Use all these phrases, young and old,

In daily life a thousandfold.

Company Manners

When company comes

You are very polite.

And we are proud of you, Son,

For your manners are right.

You say, ‘Thank you’- ‘Excuse me’

And ‘After you, please’.

You shake hands all around

With such polish and ease.

When grown-ups are talking

You don’t make a sound.

It’s a joy and a pleasure

To have you around.

Your company manners

Are fine through and through...

But try, Son, to use them

For everybody, too!

Table Manners

The Goops they lick their fingers,

And the goops they lick their knives;

They spill their broth on the tablecloth –

Oh, they lead disgusting lives!

The Goops they talk while eating,

And loud and fast they chew;

And that is why I’m glad that I

Am not a Goop – are you?

Gelett Burgess

A Good Rule

My sisters and brother all go to school

We help one another, it is a good rule.

We help our mother when she washes or cooks.

Together with father we like to read books.

Do It Well

If a task is once begun,

Never leave it till it’s done,

Be the labour great or small,

Do it well, or not at all.

Work While You Work

Work while you work,

Play while you play;

This is the way

To be cheerful and gay.

***

All that you do,

Do with your might;

Things done by halves

Are never done right.

Good Council for Children

Go to bed late,

Stay very small;

Go to bed early,

Grow very tall.

One thing at a time

And that done well,

Is a very good rule,

As many can tell.

Good, better, best;

Never rest

Till ‘good’ be ‘better’

And ‘better’ be ‘best’.

Do Your Best

Do your best, your very best;

And do it every day –

Little boys and little girls,

This is the wisest way.

No matter what you try to do,

At home or at school,

Always do your very best –

There is no better rule.

So if you read your little book,

Or if you learn to spell,

Or if you play with hoop or ball,

Be sure to do it well.

I’ll Try and I Can’t

The little boy who says, ‘I’ll try’,

Will climb the hill-top.

The little boy who says, ‘I can’t’,

Will at the bottom stop.

‘I’ll try’ does great things every day,

‘I can’t’ gets nothing done;

Be sure that you say ‘I’ll try’

And let ‘I can’t’ alone.

My Day

Getting up

When I get up in the morning

I’ll tell you what I do.

I wash my hands and

I wash my face,

Splishity-splash, splishity-splash.

I clean my teeth till

they are shining white.

Scrubbity-scrub, scrubbity-scrub.

Then I put on my clothesє

and brush my hair.

And runnity-run,

I run downstairs.

***

As soon as the sun rises

Up in the sky,

I’ll open my eyes

And lift up my head,

And jump very quickly

Out of my bed.

The Wrong Start

I got up this morning and meant to be good,

But things didn’t happen the way that they should.

I lost my toothbrush,

I slammed the door,

I dropped an egg

On the kitchen floor,

I spilled some sugar

And after that I tried to hurry

And tripped on the cat.

Things may get better. I don’t know when.

I think I’ll go back and start over again.

Marchette Chute

Together

Because we do all things together

All things improve, even weather.

Our daily meat and bread taste better,

Trees are greener, rain is wetter.

Wake up bright in the morning light

‘My nose is blue,

My teeth are green,

My face is like a soup tureen.

I look just like a lima bean.

My voice is like the hippo’s song.

I’m very, very, very, very lovely?’

Seasons

In Winter and in Summer

‘In winter I ski and skate’,

Says little Kate.

‘In summer I like to swim’,

Says little Jim.

‘And what do you do in spring?’-

‘In spring we dance and sing.’

Four Seasons

Spring is showery, flowery, bowery,

Summer: hoppy, choppy, poppy,

Autumn : wheezy, sneezy, freezy,

Winter: slippy, drippy, nippy.

The Four Seasons

Summer

The Earth is warm, the sun’s ablaze,

It is a time of carefree days;

And bees abuzz that chance to pass

May see me snoozing on the grass.

Fall/Autumn

The leaves are yellow, red and brown,

A shower sprinkles softly down;

The air is fragrant, crisp and cool,

And once again I’m stuck in school.

Winter

The birds are gone, the world is white,

The winds are wild, they chill and bite;

The ground is thick with slush and sleet,

And I can barely feel my feet.

Spring

The fields are rich with daffodils,

A coat of clover cloaks the hills,

And I must dance, and I must sing

To see the beauty of the spring.

Winter

This is the season When children ski

And Grandfather Frost Brings the New Year tree.

It’s Snowing

It’s snowing, it’s snowing.

What a lot of snow!

Let us make some snowballs,

We all like to throw.

It’s snowing, it’s snowing.

Let us sledge and ski!

When I’m dashing down the hill

Clear the way for me!

The Snowman

Come to the garden

And play in the snow,

Make a white snowman

And help him to grow!

‘What a nice snowman!’

The children will say.

‘What a fine game

For a cold winter day!’

First Snow

Snow makes whiteness where it falls,

The bushes look like popcorn-balls,

And places where I always play,

Look like somewhere else today.

Marie Louise Allen

I Heard a Bird Sing

I heard a bird sing

In the dark of December

A magical thing

And sweet to remember.

‘We are nearer to Spring

Than we were in September,’

I heard a bird sing

In the dark of December.

Oliver Herford

Winter Moon

How thin and sharp is the moon tonight!

How thin and sharp and ghostly white

Good-by My Winter Suit

Good-by my winter suit,

Good-by my hat and boot,

Good-by my ear-protecting muffs

And storms that hail and hoot.

Farewell to snow and sleet,

Farewell to Cream of Wheat,

Farewell to ice-removing salt

And slush around my feet.

Right on! To daffodils,

Right on! To whippoorwills,

Right on! To chirp-producing eggs

And baby birds and quills.

The day is on the wing,

The kite is on the string,

The sun is where the sun should be –

It’s spring all right! It’s spring!

N.M. Bodecker

Spring

Spring is coming, I can feel it,

How soft is the morning air!

Birds are singing, buds are peeping,

Life and joy are everywhere!

A Summer Day

Come, my children, come away

For the sun shines bright today,

Little children, come with me,

Birds and brooks and flowers see.

Get your hats and come away,

For it is a pleasant day.

Let us make a merry ring,

Talk and laugh and dance and sing!

Quickly, quickly come away

For it is a pleasant day.

Daylight Saving Time

In Spring when maple buds are red,

We turn the clock an hour ahead;

Which means, each April that arrives,

We lose an hour

Out of our lives.

Who cares? When Autumn birds in flocks

Fly southward, back we turn the Clocks,

And so regain a lovely thing –

That missing hour

We lost last Spring. Phyllis McGinley

Autumn Leaves

‘Come, little leaves,’

Says the wind one day.

‘Come over the meadows

With me to play’.

Put on your dresses

Of red and gold,

For summer is gone

And the days are cold.

Weather

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Rain, rain, go away,

Come again another day,

Little Johnny wants to play.

Rain on the green grass,

And rain on the tree,

Rain on the house-top,

But not on me.

The Rain Has Silver Sandals

The rain has silver sandals

For dancing in the spring,

And shoes with golden tassels

For summer’s frolicking.

Her winter boots have hobnails

Of ice from heel to toe,

Which now and then she changes

For moccasins of snow.

May Justus

Rhyme

I like to see a thunder storm,

A dunder storm, a blunder storm,

I like to see it, black and slow,

Come stumbling down the hills.

I like to hear a thunder storm,

A plunder storm, a wonder storm,

Roar loudly at our little house

And shake the window sills!

Elizabeth Coatsworth

When the Weather is Wet

When the weather is wet

We must not fret,

When the weather is cold

We must not scold,

When the weather is warm

We must not storm,

But be thankful together

Whatever the weather.

Who Has Seen the Wind?

Who has seen the wind?

Neither I, nor you:

But when the leaves hang trembling The wind is passing through. Who has seen the wind?

Neither you, nor I: But when the trees bow down their heads The wind is passing by.

Christina Rosetti

When All the World Is Full of Snow

I never know just where to go,

When all the world is full of snow.

I do not want to make a track,

Not even to the shed and back.

I only want to watch and wait,

While snow months settle on the gate,

And swarming frost flakes fill the trees

With billions of albino bees.

I only want myself to be

As silent as a winter tree,

To hear the swirling stillness grow,

When all the world is full of snow.

N. M. Bodecker

Calendar

The Months of the Year

Januarycomes with frost and snow,

February brings us winds that blow,

March has winds and happy hours,

April brings us sun and showers,

Pretty is the month of May,

June has flowers sweet and gay, July begins our holiday,

August sends us all away,

September takes us back to school,

October days begin to cool,

November brings the leaves to Earth,

December dying sees the birth

Of the New Year and all its mirth.

***

January brings the snow,

Makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,

Thaws the frozen lakes again.

March brings breezes loud and shrill,

Stirs the dancing daffodil.

April brings the primrose sweet,

Scatters daisies at our feet.

May brings flocks of pretty lambs,

Skipping by their fleecy dams.

June brings tulips, lilies, roses,

Fills the children’s hands with posies.

Hot July brings cooling showers,

Apricots and gillyflowers.

August brings the sheaves of corn,

Then the harvest home is borne.

Warm September brings the fruit,

Sportsmen then begin to shoot.

Fresh October brings the pheasant,

Then to gather nuts is pleasant.

Dull November brings the blast,

Then the leaves are whirling fast.

Chill December brings the sleet,

Blazing fire, and Christmas treat.

Sara Coleridge

Days of the Week

Lazy-Bones Grundy

‘I cannot work on Monday,’

Says lady-bones Grundy.

‘Nor start the work on Tuesday.

Wednesday is a holiday,

I must plan on Thursday

What to do on Friday,

On Saturday I like to play,

On Sunday I must rest all day’.

Mrs Grundy washes on Monday,

Irons on Tuesday,

Shops on Wednesday,

Bakes on Thursday,

Sews on Friday,

Cleans on Saturday,

Cooks on Sunday…

This is the tale of Mrs Grundy.

Solomon Grundy

Solomon Grundy

Born on Monday,

Christened on Tuesday,

Married on Wednesday,

Took ill on Thursday,

Worse on Friday,

Buried on Sunday,

This is the end

Of Solomon Grundy.

I Like Sunday Best

I like Sunday best,

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday less,

Thursday, Friday are not bad,

Saturday is better yet.

But I like Sunday best.

Sunday

Of all the days that’s in the week

I dearly love but one day –

And that’s the day that comes between

A Saturday and Monday.

I Like Food

I like carrots, I like peas, I like chocolate, I like potatoes,

I like cabbage, I like cheese, I like spinach, I like tomatoes,

I like mushrooms, I like beans, I like eggs, I like bread,

I like apples and that means: I like fish, as I’ve said:

I like food anyway you cook it. I like plums, I like custard,

I like food anyway you look at it. I like leeks, I like mustard,

I like food, cold or hot, I like ice-cream, I like toast,

I like food, I like it a lot. Can you guess what I like most?

Food

‘This egg is bad’, Some cheese and ham

Says my dad. For brother Sam.

‘Take another’, A soft boiled egg

Says my mother. For sister Meg

A plate of meat Mike and Sam

For brother Pete. Like sweets and jam.

My Flat

This is my house

And this is my flat.

I live there with my Mother,

The children’s room and the Lavatory.

And here in the corner

You’ll see our broom

It helps me and Mother

To clean every room.

It’s got a yellow door,

And yellow windows in each room

And a yellow floor.

Into the yellow hall

And look at all the yellow pictures

On the yellow wall.

3. Upstairs I’ve got a yellow bath

It’s beautiful and new

Look! Yellow toothbrush, yellow soap,

And yellow toothpaste, too.

4. Come and see my yellow garden

Smell the yellow flowers

Lie on the lovely yellow grass

And sleep for hours and hours.

Oh dear! That is shame.

Well, come and visit me again

My name? Oh, Yellow is my name.

In my favourite blue armchair?

My little Ted?

Here you are

Under my bed!
