Quiz Game
Викторина для старшеклассников
Внеклассная работа является составной частью всего учебно-воспитательного процесса. Она способствует более глубокому овладению иностранным языком. Развитие личности невозможно без развития его творческого потенциала. Поэтому внеклассная работа способствует творческому развитию учащихся. Особенно большую роль играют недели (а в нашей гимназии – декады) иностранного языка, включающие различные вечера, конкурсы, КВН, викторины, аукционы, ярмарки и т.д. Мы заранее составляем расписание мероприятий. Чрезвычайно актуально во время Декады английского языка проводить игры – викторины (“Знаешь ли ты историю и географию Англии?”, “Знаешь ли ты литературу и музыку Америки?” и т.д.). Данные игры отражают важнейшую сейчас тему – тему взаимодействия (интегрирования) различных предметов (английский язык и история, английский язык и география и т.д.). КВНы призваны обеспечить умение учащихся применять на практике знания по грамматике и лексике английского языка, активизировать мыслительную деятельность, направленную на правильное употребление лексических и грамматических конструкций в естественных ситуациях общения.
Викторина включает в себя 3 тура – отборочный, “лучший интеллект”, финальный. В первом туре участвуют все желающие. Тот, кто не справился с заданием, выбывает. Во втором туре каждый ученик должен ответить правильно на большее количество вопросов за 2 минуты. В третьем туре остаются сильнейшие, из которых выявляется самый умный.
Ведущий: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!
