ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ
Настоящая книга является четвертой частью серии комплексных учебников английского языка под общим названием «Практический курс английского языка» и предназначается для студентов 4 курса факультетов и отделений английского языка педагогических вузов. Данный учебник рассчитан на дальнейшее развитие навыков устной и письменной речи в результате овладения речевыми образцами, содержащими новые лексические и грамматические явления.
Учебник состоит из Основного курса (Essential Course) и Приложения (Appendix).
Основной курс (авторы В. Д. Аракин, И. А. Новикова, Г. В. Аксенова-Пашковская, С. Н. Бронникова, Ю. Ф. Гурьева, Е. М. Дианова, Л. Т. Костина, И. Н. Верещагина, С. И. Петрушин, М. С. Страшникова) состоит из 8 уроков, каждый из которых делится на две части, дополняющие друг друга. Первая часть урока содержит оригинальный текст, где главный упор делается на углубленную работу над речевыми образцами, на изучение, интерпретацию, перевод, пересказ текста, а также на расширение словарного запаса студентов и анализ изучаемых лексических единиц (выявление многозначности, подбор синонимов, антонимов и т. д.) в целях дальнейшего развития навыков устной (в том числе и спонтанной) и письменной речи.
В четвертое издание авторы включили в активный вокабуляр существительные широкой семантики и фразовые глаголы, чтобы еще более наглядно показать национальную специфику английского языка.
Тексты, на которых строится работа в первой части каждого урока, взяты из произведений английских и американских авторов XX в. (или из изданных в Англии учебников), все тексты несколько сокращены. По своему содержанию они связаны с темой второй части урока. Работа над оригинальным текстом на 4 курсе, ломимо краткого лексико-грамматического анализа, предполагает толкование имеющихся в нем реалий, перевод на русский язык и, наконец, интерпретацию текста для выявления его идейного содержания и стилистических особенностей.
При отборе текстов авторы стремились, с одной стороны, дать образцы высокохудожественной литературы, в которых прослеживаются функцио-нальносгилевые особенности современного английского языка, а с другой стороны, максимально приблизить их к программной тематике 4 курса, чтобы подвести студентов к беседе на определенные темы: «Образование в Соединенных Штатах», «Суд и судопроизводство», «Писатель и его творчество», «Музыка», «Средства массовой информации» и др.
За текстом следуют пояснения (Сommentary), список речевых образцов (Speech Patterns, Phrases and Word Combinations) и лексические пояснения (Essential Vocabulary). Отбор речевых образцов обусловлен их употребительностью в устной или письменной речи.
Раздел упражнений на звуки речи и интонацию предназначен для завершающего этапа работы над английской фонетикой и является продолжением аналогичных разделов учебника 3 курса. Его основная цель — расширение и
углубление отработанного на первых трех курсах материала. Эти упражнения состоят из серии обучающих, контролирующих и творческих заданий для дальнейшей автоматизации воспроизведения и употребления основных интонационных структур в английской речи.
Специальные задания на транскрибирование, интонирование и графическое изображение интонации могут быть даны при работе над любым упражнением.
Упражнения по обучению чтению на материале основного текста урока составлены с учетом принципа нарастания трудностей и призваны развивать у будущего учителя иностранного языка высокую культуру чтения, формировать способность интерпретировать художественное произведение во всем многообразном идейном и художественном богатстве.
Одновременно с работой над содержанием текста изучается активный словарь, отличающийся высокой степенью сочетаемости и большими словообразовательными возможностями. Значительное место отводится наблюдению над семантической структурой слова, развитием переносных значений, сужением и расширением значения слов.
Упражнения на предлоги преследуют цель систематизации употребления английских предлогов, которые даются в упражнениях во всех их значениях, с тем чтобы были показаны все основные случаи их употребления.
Вторая часть урока (Соnversation and Discussion) представляет собой дальнейшее развитие соответствующей темы и рассчитана на расширение и закрепление запаса речевых образцов и лексики.
Система упражнений по дальнейшему развитию навыков диалогической и монологической речи строится на речевых образцах, материале основного текста урока, активном словаре урока и завершается при работе над тематикой курса в разделе «Соnversation and Discussion». Этот раздел пополнился такими активными формами речевой деятельности, функционально связанными с профессией учителя, как ролевая игра, диспут, дискуссия. Разговорные формулы, организованные по целевому признаку, должны послужить опорой студенту в построении творческого высказывания.
Во всех восьми уроках упражнения по обучению речевому общению написаны по единой схеме:
1. Упражнения на свертывание и развертывание информации к тексту информативно-тематического характера.
2. Упражнения коммуникативного характера и клише, сгруппированные по функционально-семантическому признаку. Предлагаемые разговорные формулы, как правило, не содержат новой лексики. Их назначение — помочь студентам облечь свои мысли в естественную языковую форму.
3. Упражнения дискуссионного характера на основе научно-популярных и публицистических текстов.
4. Упражнения для коллективного обсуждения, в которых студенты должны использовать речевые клише и тематическую лексику. Раздел заканчивается перечнем тем для творческого высказывания и ситуацией для ролевой игры.
При подготовке четвертого издания учебника авторы стремились в первую очередь пополнить учебник упражнениями творческого характера. Полностью переработаны и значительно расширены разделы, посвященные работе над устной темой, которые теперь имеют комплексную структуру и состоят из нескольких блоков. Значительно усилен раздел профессионально-ориентированных упражнений, предусматривающих дальнейшее закрепление профессионально-значимых умений.
Авторы старались обновить материалы учебников за счет новых публикаций (Урок 7), заново написанной 2-й части (Урок 3, The Reader’s Choice), расширения иллюстративного материала, существенной переработки приложения к учебнику.
В Приложение внесены инструкции по написанию письменных работ, практикуемых на 4 курсе: сочинение-повествование и сочинение-описание с обязательным выражением своего мнения, отношения к заданной теме. Кроме того, в него вошли дополнительные тексты по высшему образованию в США, по системе телевешания. Добавлено окончание к рассказу «W.S.» by L.P. Heartley, Unit 3. Специально подобраны ситуации для ролевых игр, совпадающие по тематике с разделами учебника, а также методические рекомендации студентам, готовящимся к проведению микроуроков (автор И.Н. Верещагина).

4. Read the following dialogue. The expression in bold type show the way people can be persuaded. Note them down. Be ready to act out the dialogue… Molly. Yolanda, I have big news to tell you. I've made a very big decision.In trying to persuade others, people use different tactics which can be classified into 3 basic strategies — hard, soft, and rational. Hard tactics aUenate the people being influenced and create a climate of hostility and resistance. Soft tactics — acting nice, being humble —may lessen self-respect and self-esteem. People who rely chiefly on logic reasons and compromise to get then-way are the most successful.
1) As you read the extracts below pay attention to the difference between the 3 different strategies of persuasion — hard, soft and rational:
a) (parent to child) Get upstairs and clean your room! Now. (hard); b) (professor to student) I'm awfully sorry to ask you to stay late but I know I can't solve this problem without your help, (rational); c) (professor to student) I strongly suggest that you work this problem out, if not, I will have to write a negative report about you. (hard); d) (teacher to freshman) That was the best essay I ever read. Why don't you send it to the national competition ? You could do very well there, (soft).
2) Turn the given situation below into four possible dialogues by supplying the appropriate request of the first speaker:
John, a high school undergraduate, asks his Latin teacher to write a recommendation for him to apply to the University of Pennsylvania for admission.
a) J.:
T.: Sure, John.
b) J.:
T.: Of course, John.
c) J.:
T.: I suppose that's all right, John.
d) J.:
T.: Yeah, that's OK, John.
3) In the text below: The teacher is giving Jeff, talented but a very lazy student, his advice, a) Decide if the teacher's strategies are hard, soft or rational:
I guess there is nothing more I can say or do to persuade you to try harder, Jeff. At this point it is crucial that you decide what you really want to do in order to know the language well. It's important to start early. You are very bright but it is still essential that you practise on a daily basis. It is also very important for you to come to class regularly. No one can do these things for you and no one should. It's necessary that you decide yourself whether to make these changes in your attitude or to give up your future as a teacher of English.
b) Act out a dialogue based on the above given situation. Vary the teacher's strategies by changing the Subjunctive Clauses to Infinitive Clauses and the Infinitive Clauses to Subjunctive Clauses.
6. Pair work. 1) From the dialogue in Ex. 4 Use the problems which young people face choosing a career in the USA. Team up with another student and discuss the problem of a career choice. Try to be convincing in defending your views. 2) Use the art of persuasion in making your son apply to the university of your choice which does not appeal to him. Vary the strategies from soft to hard.
In some US universities and high schools there are summer schools where high school students may repeat the courses to improve then grades or they may take up some additional courses to get better opportunities while applying for admission to a university. College students attend summer schools for the above mentioned reasons and also to speed up getting a degree by earning additional credits. (The classes are paid for on per hour basis). There have been years of debate to introduce a year-round compulsory schooling. Below is the text about an experiment which was made in Los Angeles.
A) Read it carefully and note down the arguments for and against the idea of a year-round compulsory schooling.

When one person says of another, "What a guy!" it isn't always meant as a compliment, and this can be explained by the history of the word. On November 5th in the year 1605 the famous Gunpowder Plot was perpetrated as a protest against the sharp enforcement of the anti-Catholic laws of King James I. The anniversary of this event is celebrated each year in England and is called Guy Fawkes Day in memory of the chief character in the drama. This fellow Fawkes took a house adjoining the Houses of Parliament in London, tunneled through to the cellar, and concealed a nice fat charge of gunpowder in the coal bin. Unfortunately one of those conspirators betrayed their leader and this led to the discovery of the plot and Guy Fawkes being tortured and hanged. On this day it is customary in England to carry an effigy of Fawkes through the streets and then to burn it. 1) The children ask passers-by the traditional phrase "Have you got a penny for the guy, please?" collecting the money to buy fireworks with. In the evening on the 5th of November, the children have a big bonfire, eat roast chestnuts and let off the fireworks. 2) Many other people, besides Guy Fawkes, have been burned as dummies on November 5th... Napoleon Bonaparte became a "Guy" many times during his lifetime, and in 1945 a dummy of Hitler was burned on hundreds of fires all over Britain. 3) "Beefeaters" still search the cellars of the House of Commons and the House of Lords on the first day of a new Parliament, before members take their seats.
