Интерактивный урок по английскому языку на тему "Животные" c GIF иллюстрациями (On-line lesson "Animals")

Чтобы научиться читать по-английски нужно что? Правильно - знать правила чтения, выучить знаки транскрипции, а самое главное - читать и читать побольше, желательно что-то интересное и нетрудное, чтобы бесконечно не выискивать новые слова в словаре. Взрослый еще может себя заставить это делать, а вот ребенок скорее просто забросит чтение. Конечно есть методика Ильи Франка, в которой предлагается читать книги с параллельным переводом текста на русский язык, но лично мне это не нравится и кажется бесполезным занятием. Гораздо лучше воспользоваться чтением книг или текстов, разбитых на уровни - для начинающих, продолжающих обучение и т.д. Об уровневом чтении я уже писала здесь. Кому предлагаемого ресурса показалось недостаточно, можно прочитать вот эту статью.



А я хочу продолжить серию статей для обучения чтению. Предыдущая статья называлась "Читаем по-английски со Школой Монстров". Однако в своем новом уроке я хочу затронуть и другие виды речевой деятельности - работу с новой лексикой, говорение и аудирование.

Перед чтением текста давайте познакомимся с лексикой, которая может быть вам не знакома:
