1. Пояснительная записка

Цель преподавания дисциплины

Настоящая программа представляет собой тематический план занятий по

аналитическому чтению студентов 4 курса английского отделения из расчета 3

часа в неделю (18 недель).

На этом этапе обучения происходит дальнейшее развитие продуктивной

речи студентов, значительно возрастает удельный вес неподготовленной речи,

расширяется круг тем и вопросов, обсуждаемых на уроках. Студенты учатся

принимать участие в дискуссии, делать обобщения, реферировать и аннотиро-

вать.

Типы упражнений традиционны (языковые и речевые упражнения), однако

проводятся они на более сложном вербальном материале. Чтобы избежать

грамматических ошибок в спонтанной речи, предусмотрены и грамматические

упражнения коррективного характера, упражнения в диалогической, монологи-

ческой речи.

Работа над текстом включает в себя речевые образцы, чтение, перевод,

подробный анализ текста (стилистические особенности, типологию, лингвост-

рановедческий анализ и т.п.). Таким образом, мы рассматриваем курс «Анали-

тическое чтение» как синтез предыдущих теоретических лингвистических зна-

ний и опыта (навыков и умений) студентов. Кульминацией работы над текстом

является анализ текста, включающий обсуждение стиля автора, его фразеоло-

гии, идеологии автора, его персонажей. Конечным продуктом является пись-

менная работа.
