Klausīšanās prasmes attīstības stratēģija 7. klases skolēniem

Abstract

Pētījuma izvēlētā problēma pati par sevi ir interesanta un aktuāla darba autorei, jo darba autore meklēja labāko metodi runāt prasmju attīstībai skolēniem 9. klasē. Lai sasniegtu mērķi tika izanalizēti Harmera, Skrivenera, Hadfilda, Laduses, Čani, Nunana, Frīmena, Svences, Ēriksona, Puškareva, Pasova, lai rastu priekšstatu par lomu spēli. Savukārt praktiskās daļas rezultāti tiek atspoguļoti ceturtajā nodaļā. Pētījuma rezultāti parāda, ka lomu spēles vajadzētu lietot runāt prasmju attīstībai 9. klasē angļu valodā, jo lomu spēles, ne tikai attīsta runāt prasmes, bet arī sagatavo skolēnus gala ieskaites mutvārdu daļai beidzot 9. klasi.

Developing listening skills of the students can be considered as one of the most valuable part in pedagogical practice of foreigh languages teachers, not only for school programme, but also for having an ability of free communication and perceiving information in L2 which can be very useful on all levels of social life. In the Diploma Paper there has been done a theoretical study of pedagogical literature on methodology of developing listening skills as well as various kinds of authentic material had been studied which could be helpful in improving of motivation for teenage listeners of Grade 7. A questionnaire had been designed to find out the learners’ attitude to listening activities and also their difficulties and fears, and the clues they used when listening to a spoken language. This questionnaire was given to the students of grade 7, and to a group of English language teachers to find out the common sides and the differences between the adult and teenage approach to listening. There was selected and designed a range of authentic listening activities and a research work was provided. The designed evaluation showed that students could cope with the materials which seemed to be difficult for them when they began to listen, but then they were to activate their background knowledge. It was also worth to explain the learners that a great deal of untestanding in this kind of activities depends on the ability of making predictions. The analysis of the evaluation results shows that listening skills can be well developed if the level of the students is also rather high, because it requires attention and concentration – the features which are in great need for other skills too. Authentic material helps the listeners feel themselves like being in real life.
