Now we are ready to start.
Dialogue A
A: We heat the water and when its temperature reaches 100 degrees, it
starts to boil.
B: Excuse me, Mrs. Brown, can the temperature of the water get higher
than that if we keep increasing the heat?
A: No. At least not under normal conditions. At 100 degrees water
changes into steam.
B: It’s just what happens when we boil water in a kettle, isn’t it?
A: Exactly.
Dialogue B
A: It looks very good. And it fits you perfectly.
B: But I don’t need it! Who buys a warm coat in the summer, when the
temperature never drops below 15 degrees!
A: But the winter comes every year anyway. And when it comes, this
coat will cost double the price. We’re buying it now!
B: Ok, whatever you want…
Dialogue C
A: When did you say you first felt unwell?
B: In the morning. I woke up and started to cough. And I have a sore
throat.
A: Ok, my assistant will take your temperature, and then I’ll examine
you. Could you take that seat please?
B: OK, thank you.
Dialogue D
A: They’ve got a wonderful collection of old books and manuscripts.
B: Yes. Look, this book dates from the 18th century! The pages are
yellowish.

A: There are even older books here. I think it must be difficult to take
care of such delicate exhibits.
B: Yes. Low and high temperatures, as well as sunshine and humidity,
are very harmful to them.
A: Have a look at this one. Can you read the name of the author on that one?

Kelly: Hi, Jim! I didn’t see you in the morning class. Did you come late?
Jim: Hi, Kelly. Yes, I was late. Ms. Smith talked to me really seriously about
that. I said that the bus had broken down.
Kelly: And she believed that?
Jim: I don’t think so.
Kelly: And the real reason was…?
Jim: The usual. I overslept. I didn’t hear the alarm clock and woke up only
when my mum called me from her work.
Kelly: I’m not surprised. Were you watching films yesterday till very late
again?
Jim: Yes. I was just going to see what was on but then I lost track of time
and watched the film up to the end.
Kelly: I tried to call you yesterday. Just wanted to remind you about the
Science project we need to complete together by tomorrow. It’s about
how computers influence our life and our communication habits.
Jim: Oh, I’d forgotten about that! How about today, after classes? Let’s go to
my place and we’ll complete the project in two or three hours I’m sure.
Kelly: I usually prefer working in the library or in a Wi-Fi café. But you’re
right – there’s no time left for it. Do you have good internet access and
a printer?
Jim: I certainly do. And I also have a freshly made cake in the fridge.
Kelly: It’s a strong argument. Have you remembered that for the project we
have to interview at least three people of different ages about what they
do online?

Jim: That’s not a problem. We can ask my mother, my grandmother and my
younger brother, who’s seven.
Kelly: Right. Your brother’s answers will be especially interesting. Children
spend more time online than anyone else.
Jim: True. He’s there more often than me.
Kelly: And have you got any books or journals at home from which we could
get some additional information?
Jim: No. And we don’t need to. We are writing about the Internet – we’ll
certainly be able to find everything we need right there – on the
Internet.
Kelly: Ok, let’s give it a try. We have no choice anyway.
Jim: And, Kelly, I’d like to ask you a favour…
Kelly: What is it?
Jim: Could you read my French essay before I hand it in? I always make lots
of spelling and grammar mistakes in writing.
Kelly: What’s your topic?
Jim: The aim of education in the present day.
Kelly: Ok, give it to me. I’ve only got a few minutes before the bell.

Will Technology Replace Schools?

Some people believe that soon schools will no longer be necessary. These people say that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, formal classes, or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but it is hard for me to imagine a world without schools. In fact, we need to look at how we can use new technology to make schools better - not to eliminate them. We should invent a new kind of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, laboratories, and even corporations. Independent experts could give talks on video or over the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programming about things students are actually studying at school. Laboratories could demonstrate new technology in the Internet. Is this just a dream? No. Already there are several towns where this is beginning to happen. Blacksburg, Virginia, is one of them. Here the entire city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Everyone can visit distant libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind of school change learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about. Technology will change the way we learn; school will change as well; and we will all learn something in the process.

Анализ

Данная методика, c использованием Podcast и  "Audacity",   привлекает внимание своими большими возможностями для педагога и ученика. Во-первых, возможность планировать и организовывать процесс обучения наиболее эффективно; во-вторых, широкий выбор учебного материала, что позволяет учитывать не только  индивидуальные особенности учеников, но и особенности класса в целом.

Необходимо помнить, что для преодоления объективных трудностей учащихся при аудировании нужно соблюдать три стандартные стадии процесса обучения аудированию: до прослушивания, во время прослушивания и после прослушивания, так как на каждой стадии формируютя определенные умения,необходимые для эффективного аудирования на иностранном языке.

 Детям очень понравилась данная форма работы, так как очень интересно находить и выполнять данные в Интернете;  слушать запись столько, сколько это необходимо, если возникают проблемы при  понимании; в третьих  - есть ответы, которые можно сравнить со своими; ну и конечно,  рекомендации для выполнения заданий на каждом уровне, что дает возможность более детально понять содержание и изучить стратегию выпонения данных заданий.
