Приемы работы по развитию коммуникативных навыков учащихся, которые я использую на учебных и факультативных занятиях:
- Ролевая игра позволяет моделировать ситуации реального общения и отличается, прежде всего, свободой и спонтанностью речевого и неречевого поведения персонажей. Ролевая игра предполагает наличие определенного количества персонажей, а также игровой проблемной ситуации, в которой участники игры действуют. Каждый участник в ходе игры организует свое поведение в зависимости от поведения партнеров и своей коммуникативной цели. Итогом игры должно стать разрешение конфликта.
- Социальный тренинг (упражнения в общении). Примеры подобных
заданий:
line-up (учащиеся стараются как можно быстрее выстроиться в ряд в соответствии с предложенным признаком);
strip-story (каждый ученик получает свою фразу и старается быстрее занять соответствующее место в «рассказе»);
smile (учащиеся подходят друг к другу и с обязательной улыбкой обмениваются репликами);
merry-go-round (школьники образуют внешний и внутренний круг и, двигаясь по кругу, обмениваются репликами);
contact (участники подходят друг к другу и начинают беседу);
kind words (учащиеся говорят любые приятные слова в адрес собеседника);
reflection (участники пытаются представить, что думают о них другие школьники);
listening (учащиеся внимательно слушают партнера, кивая в знак согласия и выражая согласие с ним) и т.д.
- Круглый стол - представляет собой обмен мнениями по какому-либо вопросу, проблеме, интересующей участников общения. Участвуя в круглом столе, обучаемый высказывается от своего лица. Проблемы, обсуждаемые за «круглым столом», могут быть весьма разнообразными: социальными, страноведческими, морально-этическими и др. Участие в круглом столе требует от учащихся достаточно высокого уровня владения языком и наличия определенных знаний по проблеме. Поэтому как прием контроля «круглый стол» можно применять на продвинутом этапе обучения и по окончании работы над определенной темой или несколькими смежными темами.
- Дискуссия представляет собой одну из форм спора как словесного состязания. Это обмен мнениями в отношении какого-либо предмета с целью достижения единства взглядов на этот предмет. Обязательным условием дискуссии является наличие какого-либо спорного вопроса. Окончательное решение этого вопроса и вырабатывается в ходе дискуссии. Для успешного ее ведения участники должны обладать знаниями о предмете обсуждения, иметь собственное мнение по данному вопросу, владеть приемами воздействия на партнеров и управление беседой.
- Скетч- это короткая сцена, разыгрываемая по заданной проблемной ситуации с указанием действующих лиц, их социального статуса, ролевого поведения. Скетч, в отличии от ролевой игры, характеризуется меньшей сложностью и свободой речевого поведения персонажей. В виде скетчей могут быть разыграны небольшие сценки, относящиеся к социально-бытовым сферам по темам «Питание», «Покупки», «Город и его достопримечательности», «Путешествия».
- Интерактивные приемы
«Словарный диктант для соседа» Учащиеся в классе или дома готовят словарный диктант. Заранее оговаривается количество слов и тема словарного диктанта.
«Вратарь» Один учащийся выходит к доске. Он – «вратарь». Остальные – задают ему вопросы по теме, стараются «забить гол». Количество голов определяется количеством вопросов, на которые учащимся не были даны правильные ответы.
«Аквариум» Учащихся объединяю в группы по 5-6 человек. Одна из групп занимает место в центре класса, получает задание, зачитывает и обговаривает его. Остальные учащиеся не вмешиваются в обсуждение, а внимательно слушают и делают пометки. После публичного выполнения задания группа занимает свои рабочие места, а учащиеся класса дают оценку состоявшейся дискуссии, аргументам выступающих. После этого место в «Аквариуме» занимает другая группа.
«Выбери позицию» Предлагаю проблемный вопрос, две противоположные точки зрения и три позиции: «Да» (за первое предложение), «Нет» (за второе предложение), «Не знаю, не определил собственную позицию». Учащиеся класса выбирают определенную позицию, формируют три группы, обговаривают правильность своей позиции. Один или несколько членов каждой группы аргументируют свою позицию, после чего происходит коллективное обсуждение проблемы и принятие правильного решения.
«Два, четыре – вместе» Учащимся предлагаю проблему или информацию, которую они сначала отрабатывают самостоятельно, затем оговаривают в парах, далее объединяются в четвёрки. После принятия совместного решения в четвёрках происходит совместное обсуждение вопроса.
«Обучая – учусь» Материал урока делю на отдельные блоки по количеству учащихся или пар в классе. Учащиеся изучают учебный материал, обмениваются им, создавая временные пары, после чего происходит коллективное закрепление учебного материала. Организую работу в парах, предлагаю теоретический материал по новой теме, ориентировочные таблицы, которые ученики дополняют недостающей информацией.
«Микрофон» Учащимся предлагаю высказать свою точку зрения по поставленному вопросу или проблеме. По классу пускают предмет, имитирующий микрофон. Каждый, получивший такой «микрофон» обязан четко и лаконично изложить свою мысль и сделать вывод.
«Дерево решений» Группа делится на 3 подгруппы. Каждая, выполняя задание, делает записи на своем «дереве». Потом группы меняются местами и дописывают на деревьях соседей свои идеи.
«Мозговой штурм» Для решения проблемного вопроса учащимся предлагаю найти как можно больше путей, идей, предложений, каждое из которых фиксируется на доске или листе бумаги. После того, как материал изучен, становится ясно, кто был прав.
«Карусель» Учащиеся размещаются в два круга лицом друг к другу. Некоторое время каждая пара обменивается информацией, своими мыслями; после этого учащиеся внешнего круга перемещаются по кругу к следующему партнеру. Можно предварительно предложить учащимся подготовить вопросы по теме и провести по кругу опрос. Количество вопросов должно быть равно количеству «учителей». У каждого ученика может быть оценочный лист, где «учитель» поставит оценку и свою подпись. Этот метод использую при закреплении, повторении, обобщении материала.
Метод «ПРЕСС» развивает умение формулировать высказывание по определенному дискуссионному вопросу в сжатой форме, выразительно, аргументировано, лаконично. «Метод ПРЕСС» состоит из четырех этапов: 1. – Высказывание собственной точки зрения («Я считаю, что…») 2. – Обоснование своей мысли («… Так как…») 3. – Примеры и аргументы для поддержания своей точки зрения («… например…») 4. – Обобщение, выводы («Итак…»).
«Совместный проект» Группы работают над выполнением разных заданий одной темы. После завершения работы каждая группа презентует свои исследования, в результате чего все учащиеся знакомятся с темой в целом.
«Перевоплощение» Каждый участник игры выбирает роль для идентификации, имя которого записывает на карточке и прячет в карман. Персонажи не должны повторяться. Задавая косвенные вопросы, касающиеся мировоззрения, способа жизни и характера героя, участники пытаются определить роли друг друга.
«Займи позицию» Учащимся предлагается ответить на проблемный вопрос. На доске написано 2 противоположных точки зрения. Учащиеся выбирают определенную позицию, аргументируя свою точку зрения.
«Ромашка», «Мухомор», «Мудрый совет», «Итоговый круг» - приемы, которые помогают завершить урок. Дети отрывают лепестки ромашки, по кругу передают разноцветные листы и т.д. и отвечают на главные вопросы, относящиеся к теме урока, записанные на обратной стороне. Эти приемы помогают эффективно, грамотно и интересно подвести итоги урока. Для учителя этот этап очень важен, поскольку позволяет выяснить, что ребята усвоили хорошо, а на что необходимо обратить внимание на следующем уроке.
