Пояснительная записка

В последние годы отечественная методическая наука рассматривает образование как процесс освоения социального опыта, а личность, будучи «мерой всех вещей», выступает в качестве цели и результата образовательного процесса. Рассмотрение дисциплины «иностранный язык» в контексте проблемы социального развития школьников представляется закономерным, так как язык играет ведущую роль в процессах социализации личности. Поэтому процесс обучения иностранным языкам призван обеспечивать условия для полноценного социального развития учащихся. Содержание обучения является одним из основных средств и факторов развития личности. При его отборе критерий опоры на культуру страны изучаемого языка должен быть дополнен критерием опоры на родную культуру учащихся. Это обеспечит межнациональное общение и обмен культурными ценностями на ИЯ между носителями различных культур, предотвратит возможные коммуникативно - психологические трудности в реальном общении с носителями изучаемого языка. В данном приложении представлены страноведческие тексты по Бурятии, а также задания для проверки их понимания. Учебные материалы как часть социально развивающего обучения наполнены социальными, культурными и историческими контекстами, в рамках которых происходит социально-коммуникативное взаимодействие школьников. Целостность содержания обеспечена наличием единых тем, объединяющих серию уроков.

Цели:

- расширение, углубление знаний учащихся, необходимых для повышения общего уровня образованности;

- развитие интереса к предмету, познавательной активности.

-формирование умений и навыков анализа, сравнения культур, образа жизни Британии и России.

The taiga is a nice coniferous forest. It covers about 60 per cent of the whole territory. There are a great variety of trees in it: pine, cedar, fir, birch, aspen, bird cherry and alpine rose. The taiga is rich in fur-bearing animals: bear, wolf, sable, fox, squirrel, mink, polar fox, elk, goat, ect.

The rivers of Buryatia are of no great value as waterways. The longest of them are Selenga, the Uda, the Bargusin, the Angara and others. All the rivers run into Baikal except the Angara. For the greatest part of the year the rivers are frozen.

The region is known for its extreme continental climate. The frosts in snowy winters are severely cold. The summers are short and hot with few rainy days. So they say Buryatia is sunny.

The republic is famous for sheep breeding and vegetable growing. Wheat, potatoes and cucumbers are cultivated in Mukhorshibir, Bichura and Kabansk regions. There is a variety of industries such as aircraft, shipbuilding, food, coalmining and others.

The white colour symbolizes happiness and richness. During this month people visit each other and make presents. The value of the present is of no importance. People wish each other the white thoughts of wealth and success.

The Buryats have a good tradition of congratulating the old people during the Sagaalgan. The ceremony begins with presenting Khadak (a blue scarf made of soft silk), white milk products, headscarves, pieces of fabric, and a pack of cigarettes or a piece of soap.

At the Datsans Lamas dressed in colorful, traditional coats pry together for well-being and happiness for every person all over the world.

The Russians have many holidays: Christmas, on the 7th of January, Easter, and the most popular is Maslenitsa. It is the last winter holiday. It is the holiday of saying good-bye to winter. In the past winter was the most difficult season of the year for peasants. There was no electricity or transport and people were looking forward to spring, to have a good time. They wanted to be merry, to sledge, and to eat blins. People bake blinz (thin sweet pan cakes). Every hostess had her own way of making blinz with her own recipe. Guests and neighbors come in, singing blinz songs, called Chastushky. Every day of the week has its own name. Before the holiday the youth made a stuffed doll. It was funny. It was the centre of the holiday. During the holiday week it was taken to visit all the yards. In the evening of the last day the stuffed doll was burnt on a fire and everybody sang good-bye songs. On the last Sunday people visit each other asking forgiveness for any troubles they had caused and to show respect and love for each other.
