Виховання патріотизму було й залишається однією з головних завдань учителів англійської мови при роботі над такими темами, як "Моя школа", "Наша країна", "Відомі люди", "Традиції й звичаї", "Спорт", "Музика", "Театр", "Кіно", "Живопис", "Свята" та ін.

В світлі патріотичного виховання на уроці англійської мови доцільно було б розглянути деякі прийоми, методи та форми роботи, використання яких, на мою думку, значно підвищує активність учнів і підсилює їх інтерес до навчання.

Так, розпочинаючи урок про Україну , я завжди пропоную учням скласти асоціаграмму. 

Наприклад:

What associations do you have when you hear the word Ukraine? 

Або:

1)    Think of 5 things associated in some way with Ukraine.  Now think of associations you have got in connections with them. Compare your list with your partner.

2)    Write the names of the most outstanding people of Ukraine. Then write the activities they are famous for.

3)    The  first thing that comes to our mind when we are speaking about any country is its geography. Give your associations with this word, e.g.:

Town, city, river etc.

Також досить цікавим для учнів є розгадування  кросвордів, ребусів про Україну.

Наприклад:

Let’s do the crossword

Find 14 words in the Word square. All these words are connected with the historical and cultural events of Ukraine.

В підлітковому віці учням часто проводять різноманітні психологічні тести. Цей прийом також може бути досить ефективним під час введення в іншомовну атмосферу. Пропоную один із варіантів такого тесту для учнів 7 класу:

Now count your score and analyze  the results.

Now read the analysis and think if it is true and if you agree with it.

40—45: you are a well-educated person. You’re interested in sciences and literature. Your memory is perfect. You’ll be able to get good education and achieve success in any field.

30—40: it means that your knowledge is not enough to make progress and to be a success. You’ve got quite a lot of free time. Use it more efficiently, reading more about the history and culture of your Motherland. A person must know where he comes from in order to know better where to go and what to be.

15—30: it means that you have and you will have problems in receiving good education. You must not waste time, try to read more references, encyclopedias. It will help you learn and get knowledge independently. And if you know more about your country and its people, about its past, its struggle and achievements, you will better understand the present, and learn to solve problems in future.

Підчас розмови про загальні відомості та географічне положення України можливе використання великої кількості різноманітних інтегрованих вправ і прийомів. В 6 класі учні вже ознайомлені з основними географічними поняттями, тому вже стає можливим  використання атласів та контурних карт. Ось деякі з них:

1)    The  first thing that comes to our mind when we are speaking about any country is its geography. Give your associations with this word, e.g.:

Town, city, river etc.

2)    Look at the map and write down the names of: the biggest cities, rivers, lakes, mountains of Ukraine in English.

3)    Look at the map and color the countries Ukraine borders with in different colors: Poland – red, Belaruss – green and so on.

4)    Look at the map and match the two sentence halves:

The Black Sea is in                   the West

Kyiv is in                                  the North of Ukraine

The Carpathians are in             the South of our country

Odessa is in                              the South West of the country

 

Щодо вивчення граматики,вважаю доцільним підчас пояснення граматичного матеріалу в 4 - 6 класах та тренуванні цих конструкцій використовувати  зразки  про Україну. Наприклад:

Present simple

·                      Starting activity.

 Work in pairs. Correct your partner’s state­ment when you hear a wrong fact. Example:

Past simple

I. Starting activity

• Work in pairs or small groups. One person in each pair or group reads the story of Roksolana aloud. Every time you hear something wrong stop the story and correct the mis­take, using a past simple negative, like this: “No Roksolana didn’t live in the town of Konotop. She lived in the town of Rogatyn”. You may play this game as a whole class, it depends. If you don’t know the story of Roksolana, read the text “The Almighty Prisoner” .

When Roksolana was a child she lived in the town of Konotop in Sumskaya re­gion. Her father was a count. In 1520 Roksolana’s friends invited her to visit Turkey. There she fell in love with a Tur­kish diplomat and married him. Foreign diplomats, contemporaries of Roksolana wrote: ^vShe was rather frivolous woman”. Two years later her husband died and so she returned to Ukraine.

·                     Grammar guide.

Past simple.

We use the past simple when we refer to a finished action or situation in the past. We use the past simple to talk about.

·                     finished single actions or situations.

Roksolana lived in Rogatin when she was a child.

·                     finished repeated actions or situations.

Petro Sagaidachny won both on land and sea in every campaign.

Note: state verbs are usually used in the past simple and not in the past progressive. I knew I was late.

 The form of the past simple is the same for all persons.

·                      We add -ed to the basic verb to form positive of regular verbs: wanted, washed, helped.

·                      We use the 2-nd form of irregular verbs to make their positive think-thought, read- read, see-saw.

·                      We use didn’t before the verbs-predicates to make sentences negative.

He didn’t come, back.

Roksolana — NastiaLisovska — was born in the town of Rogatin (Ivano-Frankovsk Region) in the family of clergyman. In 1520 she was taken a prisoner by the Turks and sold to the harem of Sultan Suleiman I, the Magnificent. Being a wife of Sultan she played an important role in the political life of Turkey. Foreign diplomats, contemporaries of Roksolana wrote: “She was very reasonable woman. In Osman Dynasty there had not been such a woman, who won more respect and was able both to amuse the Magnificent Sultan and give good piece of advice”.

 Question forms

 Yes/no questions

 Yes/no questions are questions that can be answered by yes or no. This is the word order for yes/no questions:

Auxiliary — Subject — Main verb

 The present simple and past simple tenses do not have an auxiliary (be, have or

a modal verb like can), so in the present simple tense use do/does before the subject to make a question. In the past simple use did.

Do you know any discovery of VolodymyrVernadsky?

Did Ukrainian scientists make out­standing progress in nuclear physics, chemistry and other branches?

Wh-questions.

Wh-questions begin with a question word (how, what, where, when, who, whose, which or why).

Which Ukrainian scientists do you know?

How can go before words like big, far, long, often, much and many.

 Question tags

He hasn’t got any money for his work, has he?

 There are “same way” question tags which express interest or surprise.

Oh, he’s a research worker, isn’t he?

Cinema and theatre have been popular forms of entertainment for people for many years. The Frenchman Louis Lumiere made the first film in 1895 and it lasted for one minute. The first moving picture was made as an experiment to see how the horse's legs are moved  while running.  Lumiere's films were very different from those we watch today. Early films were silent and black and white.

Nowadays, there is such a wide variety of film genres available such as action, adventure, comedy, romantic, science - fiction, mystery, thriller, historical and animation.

Ukraine has a long history of theatre and cinema productions. Comedies are the most popular genre of  films and theatre in Ukraine. The puppet Theatre in Ukraine is very popular with both adults and children. It is one of the  best theatres in Ukraine. The National Opera and ballet is the oldest musical theatre in Ukraine. It has a rich history and has won many awards at festivals.

There are many successful actors and actresses from Ukraine. Ada  Rogovtseva is a talented  theatre and film actress and won the award for Best actress at the 7th Moscow International Film festival for her role in "Hail, Mary!".  Other Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko became popular all over the world after she starred in Bond films. Now she is a popular Hollywood  actress.
