2.4 Контроль понимания при выполнении упражнений по аудированию

В данном подразделе мы остановимся непосредственно на контроле понимания текста и уровнях его понимания.


Прежде чем приступить к прослушиванию текста учитель должен дать предварительную инструкцию, создав мотивацию и организационную установку, мобилизируя школьников на активную работу. Инструкция включает в себя формулировку задания, разъясняет пути его выполнения, ориентирует в трудностях, иногда указывает формы последующей проверки понимания, а также содержит опоры и ориентиры столь необходимые в понимании речи на слух.
Например:
Прослушайте текст еще раз и заполните пропуски.
По ходу прослушивания заполните предлагаемую вам анкету
Прослушайте текст-загадку; догадайтесь, о ком идет речь и т.д. Вот некоторые слова и отдельные выражения, которые вызовут у вас трудности. Они предварительно выписываются на доску и затем проговариваются хором.
Ответы на следующие наводящие вопросы помогут вам понять текст. В качестве особого приема можно использовать индивидуальную мотивационную установку к аудиотексту. Эксперименты доказывают, что если обучаемого предупредить заранее, что он должен будет пересказать или воспроизвести в какой-то другой форме аудиотекст, то эффективность восприятия значительно увеличится. Так, учащийся, которому было известно, что его спросят по данному аудиотексту, понял текст на 90 %, в то время как другие равно успевающие ученики этого же класса поняли предложенную информацию всего на 50 %[31,54].
В условиях класса можно обеспечить аудирование каждого отдельного ученика, дав распределенную установку типа: первый ряд следит за приметами времени и места действия, второй - за репликами персонажа, третий - называет кульминационный момент. Таким образом индивидуальная мотивированность создает повышенную заинтересованность, учащиеся вовлекаются в соревнование, кто лучше выполнит задание. Подобная «здоровая» конкуренция ведет к эффективизации учебного процесса. Так как задания соревновательного характера стимулируют активность слухового восприятия учащихся.
Мотивационная установка в любом случае показывает учащимся, на что обратить внимание, какие возникнут трудности и как учащемуся в связи с ними организовать свою работу. Задача учителя мотивационной установкой возбудить интерес школьников к предстоящей школьной работе.
«Сегодня, - объявляет учитель, - вашему вниманию будет представлен монолог ученого-психолога. Речь пойдет о влиянии телевидения на психику человека, особенно подростка. У вас будет возможность прослушать этот монолог только один раз, поэтому будьте максимально внимательны, постарайтесь понять, о чем говорит ученый, выберите интересный, с вашей точки зрения, вопрос или проблему для обсуждения, аргументируйте ваше мнение. На доске даны ключевые слова, которые облегчат вам понимание.
Давайте прочитаем их и преступим к прослушиванию».
Целью любого контроля является определение уровня сформированности речевых умений, и того, насколько точно и полно восприняли учащиеся тот или иной аудиотекст. Наиболее известной (применительно к аудированию) является типология А.C. Лурье[32,47], который выделяет четыре уровня понимания: уровень слов, уровень предложений, уровень сложного синтаксического целого (смыслового куска) и уровень текста.
Понимание на уровне слов носит фрагментарный характер, оно зависит от соотношения между активным, пассивным и потенциальным словарями слушающего и от его способности использовать детерминирующую функцию словосочетаний и контекста. При аудировании иноязычного текста учащиеся часто различают на слух отдельные слова и наиболее легкие фразы, догадываясь на этом основании о теме сообщения и только.
Понимание предложений зависит от их синтаксической особенности.
Простое предложение не представляет собой сложности, так как оно является привычной и хорошо упроченной единицей разговорной речи. Особую сложность представляет понимание логико-грамматической структуры сложного предложения. Мыслительные операции связанные в данном случае с особой формой синтеза отдельных элементов и одновременной, а не последовательной обозримостью всего предложения.
Понимание сложного синтаксического целого происходит путем расчленения речевого сообщения на части и его смысловой группировки, определение средств соединения предложений, составляющий смысловой кусок, определение его темы, начало и конца мысли по основным синтаксическим признакам (инверсия, вводные слова, союзы, в начале и в конце смыслового куска и др.). Восприятие целого текста зависит от понимания предикативной соотношения между активным, пассивным и потенциальным словарями связи предложений, ибо она наиболее стабильна и информативна от композиционно- смысловой структуры текста, стиля и жанра.
Эта типология уровней понимания представляет интерес с точки зрения развития прогностических умений и позволяет проследить за сложностью выдвижения формальных и смысловых гипотез, однако для организации контроля мало пригодна.
Руководствуясь критериями полноты и правильности понимания, мы придерживаемся градации предложенной Н.И.Гез[33,97]. 1) уровень фрагментального (поверхностного) понимания, 2) уровень глобального (общего) понимания, 3) уровень детального (полного) понимания, 4) уровень критического понимания.
Поэтому, отталкиваясь от всего, что сказано выше, упражнения с помощью которых проверяется степень глубины и полноты понимания, должны относится только к 3 уровням (2-4), с их помощью может быть выявлена и фрагментарность понимания, с которого и следует начинать обучение аудированию.
Теперь перчислим основные виды упражнений принятые для проверки понимания. Итак, общее понимание текста проверяется обычно с помощью выбранного ответа на вопросы (такие как: правильный/не правильный ответ; выполнения текстов типа «multiple choice» (выбор правильного ответа как правило из четырех).
Уровень детального понимания определяется путем заполнения пропусков в графическом ключе (close test), представляющем собой сокращенное или полное изложение прослушиваемого. В зависимости от языковой подготовки слушающих и сложности текста пропуски могут иметь большие или меньшие интервалы, пропускается каждое седьмое или шестое слово.
Уровень критического понимания связан с оценкой прослушанного, с выделением основной информации, с комментированием и обсуждением, т.е. со всякого рода творческими, проблемными заданиями, предполагающими понимание эмоционально-оценочных элементов текста и наличия умения соотносить содержание с ситуацией общения.
Теперь рассмотрим упражнения, предложенные Сахаровой Т.Е. и Рабинович Ф.М.[34,118]связанные с установкой слушающего на понимание основной и личностно-значимой информации, получением сведений, представляющих ценность для практической деятельности и для общения в коллективе сверстников. В связи с этим задание для проверки понимания текста могут быть следующих трех типов:
) задание на понимание содержания прослушанного;
) задание на творческую переработку воспринятой информации;
) задание на использование полученных сведений в общении и других видах деятельности.
Коммуникативные задания первого типа связаны с развитием умений целенаправленно, в соответствии с коммуникативной задачей воспринимать информацию учебного текста на уровне фактов и на уровне идей, в общем или детально, либо осуществлять мыслительный поиск по определенному заданию, что необходимо для полного овладения языком. Выполняя задание этого типа, слушающий выделяет опорную мысль, основную идею, основные утверждения, как они обосновываются автором. Например:
скажите, что показалось вам самым важным и интересным в прослушанном тексте, и обоснуйте свое мнение;
подумайте, как бы вам хотелось завершить описанные в тексте cобытия и т. д.
Коммуникативные задания второго типа предполагают творческую переработку воспринятой информации, активную мыслительную работу учащихся, выражение своего отношения к общему содержанию, к отдельным проблемам к утверждениям автора, то есть задействуют речемыслительную деятельность, например:
скажите, как вы относитесь к событиям и действующим лицам;
сравните факты, о которых вы узнали, с тем, что вам было известно ранее;
Третий тип коммуникативных заданий связан с включением полученной информации в процесс общения, с ее передачей тому адресату, который указан в коммуникативной задаче, или с ее использованием в других видах деятельности: беседе, дискуссии по проблеме, затронутой в сообщении, изготовление подарков, поделок своими руками по услышанным рекомендациям и т.п. Таким образом усвоенный материал непосредственно тренируется в речи.
Мы объеденили эти две (Гез Н.И.и РабиновичФ.М., СахаровойТ.Е.) системы упражнений контроля понимания в своей методике обучения аудированию.
Используя тестовые задания, учитель имеет преимущество, так как ему удается вовлечь в работу всех учащихся одновременно и оценить результаты каждого. Вместе с тем не следует забывать и о том, что тесты - привлекательная форма контроля. Они мало пригодны в классе с хорошей языковой подготовкой, особенно тогда, когда речь идет о взаимосвязанном обучении слушанию и говорению. Так мы считаем, что применять такой вид проверки нужно в тех лишь случаях, когда необходимо проверить именно понимание, то есть тест должен применяться, по нашему мнению, в тех случаях, когда учитель ставит перед собой целью-проверку уровня способностей учащихся понимать иноязычную речь большого объема на слух, пользуясь своим потенциальным словарем и прибегая к языковой догадке. В процессе подготовки к аудированию учителю необходимо четко определить конкретные задачи: 1) формирование умений и навыков восприятия иноязычной речи; 2) обсуждение прослушанного; 3) организация сообщений учащихся по аналогии с прослушанным образцом (диалоги, описания и т. д.). Содержание текста на аудирование и выбор упражнений и заданий по нему должны быть адекватны поставленной цели. На наш взгляд, на среднем этапе установочные задания и задания по прослушанному тексту следует формулировать таким образом, чтобы с их помощью стимулировать мотивацию школьников, создавать для них проблемные ситуации, развивать выборочное восприятие наиболее значимой информации, показывать способы практического использования полученных в ходе аудирования знаний. [35,18]
Итак, из всего сказанного выше мы делаем вывод, что существует реальная возможность формирования умений и навыков устной речи на основе аудирования. Наиболее предпочтительными являются способы, которые создают ситуации естественного речевого общения, стимулируют учащихся высказаться, обменяться мнениями. Задания по прослушанному тексту должны быть творческими, действия учащихся должны быть внутренне мотивированы.
Желательно, чтобы они имели проблемный характер, побуждали учащихся применять в ответах полученные ранее знания, ставили их перед необходимостью сравнивать, догадываться, искать решение в самом тексте, то есть решать коммуникативные задачи учащиеся должны самостоятельно, используя лексико-семантические опоры в виде таблиц или записей фактического и языкового материала на доске. Опоры служат не только речевой поддержкой, но и способствуют лучшему пониманию и запоминанию аудитивного материала.
Итак в настоящем параграфе мы описали на наш взгляд самые эффективные способы проверки понимания, также мы коснулись методов мотивации и стимуляции интереса учащихся

Заключение


Итак, в данной дипломной работе был исследован сам процесс аудирования, способы обучения ему как одному из труднейших и важнейших видов речевой деятельности, пути преодоления трудностей, с которыми учащиеся сталкиваются. Также при использовании углубленного изучения методической и психолого-педагогической литературы был изучен и изложен интенсивная методика обучения аудированию на среднем этапе, который основывался на положении о возможности обучения аудированию, одновременно используя его и как цель и как средство. Данному положению было уделено особое внимание и указаны основные методы подходы к углубленному обучению аудированию.


Таким образом, владение аудированием как видом речевой деятельности, должно обеспечивать успешный процесс коммуникации, развивать умение учащихся говорить и понимать иностранный язык, а так как этот процесс сложный и трудный, то в школах надо уделять большее внимание данной процедуре. Очень важно повысить и мотивацию у учащихся к пониманию иностранной речи на слух. А ведь к совершенствованию процесса обучения аудированию есть все предпосылки: техника в современное время развивается высокими темпами, и у учителей появляется все больше возможностей использовать различные виды технических средств обучения.
Говорение и аудирование образуют вместе один акт устного общения. Оба эти процесса тесно связаны, но сравнительные границы знания иностранного языка для слушания и говорения неодинаковы. Графически мы могли бы это изобразить в виде двух окружностей, где внутренний круг представляет вокабуляр активного говорения, а внешний-понимание речи на слух, причем с увеличением объема изученного материала оба круга будут соответственно увеличиваться и внутренний будет приближаться к внешнему, но они никогда не совпадут. Внешний круг всегда будет больше.
Таким образом по нашему мнению необходимо придерживаться тенденции сближения размеров внешнего и внутреннего кругов, т.е. приближать умение активно пользоваться языком к возможности понимать иностранную речь. Необходимо систематически давать учащимся слушать речь изучаемого иностранного языка, построенную на знакомом лексико-грамматическом материале.
Мы наблюдали, что в процессе аудирования внимание учащихся напряжено, запоминание произвольное, ориентация на фиксацию запрашиваемой информации преимущественно в оперативной памяти, а фиксация в долгосрочной памяти увлекательной информации может быть великолепной в связи с эмоциональным настроем. Процесс аудирования очень активный. Ему присуще напряженное, равномерно распределяемое внимание и произвольное запоминание.

Young people are committing terrible crimes, which they didn’t dream of committing say 30 years ago. I think it’s because of television. When I was a little girl a few people were shot in unrealistic cowboy films now there are hours of realistic violence almost every night. After that terrible film “Natural Born Killers” there were a number of copycat murders. A teenager in America watched it ten times and then killed his mother and half-sister. The problem is that children can’t really tell the difference between fantasy and real violence. On television dead people sometimes come back to life. Children think that real people can do the same. Films have a powerful effect on all of us. They make you laugh, cry, get angry or feel happy.

Диагностирование количества незнакомой лексики:the following text and write down all unknown words.SERENADE
(by G. Bernard Shaw)Bernard Shaw, the famous English playwright, came from a middle class family. He was born in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, in 1856, and was proud of being an Irishman.1876 he left his hometown for London, where he became a journalist. In 1884 he joined the Fabian Society, a socialist organization of petty bourgeois intellectuals. After a few unsuccessful attempts at writing novels, Shaw turned to plays. His first play appeared in 1892. Later on he wrote a large number of plays, all of which are known for their brilliant dialogue and sharp political satire. Bernard Shaw died in 1950 at the age of ninety-four. I celebrated my fortieth birthday by putting on one of the amateur theatrical performances for which my house at Beckenham is famous. The play, written by myself, was in three acts, and an important feature was the sound of a horn in the second act. I had engaged a horn player to blow the horn. He was to place himself, not on the stage, but downstrairs in the hall so as to make it sound distant.The beautiful Linda Fitznightingale occupied the best seat. The next chair, which I had intended for myself, had been taken by Mr.Porcharlester, a young man of some musical talent. As Linda loved music, Porsharlester's talent gave him in her eyes an advantage over older and cleverer men. I decided to break up their conversation as soon as I could. After I had seen that everything was all right for the performance, I hurried to Linda's side with an apology for my long absence. As I approached, Porcharlester rose, saying, "I'm going behind the stage if you don't mind." "Boys will be boys," I said when he had gone. "But how are your musical studies progressing?" "I'm full of Schubert now. Oh, Colonel Green, do you know Schubert's serenade?" "Oh, a lovely thing. It's something like this, I think..." "Yes, it is little like that. Does Mr Porcharlester sing it?" I hated to hear her mention the name, so I said, "He tries to sing it." "But do you like it?" she asked. "Hm, well the fact is..." I tried to avoid a straight answer. "Do you like it?" "I love it. I dream of it. I've lived on it for the last three days." "I hope to hear you sing it when the play's over." "I sing it! Oh, I'd never dare. Ah, here is Mr. Porcharlester, I'll make him promise to sing it to us." "Green," said Porcharlester, "I don't wish to bother you, but the man who is to play the horn hasn't turned up." "Dear me," I said, "I ordered him at exactly half-past seven. If he fails to come in time, the play willl be spoilt." I excused myself to Linda, and hurried to the hall. The horn was there, on the table. But the man was nowhere to be seen. At the moment I heard the signal for the horn. I waited for him, but he did not come. Had he mixed up the time? I hurried to the dining room. There at the table he sat, fast asleep. Before him were five bottles, empty. Where he had got them from was beyond me. I shook him, but could not wake him up. I ran back to the hall promising myself to have him shot for not obeying my orders. The signal came again. They were waiting. I saw but one way to save the play from failure. I took up the instrument, put the smaller end into my mouth and blew. Not a sound came from the thing. The signal was given a third time. Then I took the horn again, put it to my lips and blew as hard as I could.result was terrible. My ears were deafened, the windows shook, the hats of my visitors rained from their pegs,and as I pressed my hands to my head, the horn playercame out, shaky on his feet, and looked at the guests, who began to appear on the stairs... For the next three months I studied horn-blowing. I did not like my teacher and hated to hear him always saying that the horn was more like the human voice than any other instrument. But he was clever, and I worked hard without a word of complaint. At last I asked him if he thought I could play something in private to a friend. "Well, Colonel," he said, "I'll tell you the truth: it would be beyond your ability. You haven't the lip for it. You blow too hard, and it spoils the impression. What were you thinking of playing to your friend?" "Something that you must teach me, Schubert's serenade." He stared at me, and shook his head. "It isn't written for the instrument, sir," he said, "you'll never play it." But I insisted. "The first time I play it through without a mistake, I'll give you five pounds," I said. So the man gave in.

Диагностирование количества незнакомой лексики:the following text and write down all unknown words.CUSTOM HOUSE INCIDENT
(By Nigel Balchin)the passengers travelling home by train from Florence there was a certain Miss Bradley. I only noticed her when passing down the corridor, because of her really remarkable plainness. She was rather a large, awkward woman of about thirty-five with a big, red nose, and large spectacles. Later on, when I went to the dining car, Miss Bradley was already seated, and the attendant placed me opposite. I think we may have exchanged half a dozen words at dinner, when passing one another the sugar or the bread. But they were certainly all we exchanged, and after we left the dining-car, I did not see Miss Bradley again until we reached Calais Maritime. And then our acquaintance really began, and it began entirely on my initiative. There were plenty of porters, and I called one without difficulty from the window of the train. But as I got off, I saw Miss Bradley standing on the platform with two large very old suit-cases. The porters were passing her by. I am quite sure that had she been an even slightly attracive woman, I should not have gone up to her, but she was so ugly and looked so helpless that I approached her, and said: "My porter has a barrow. Would you like him to put your cases on it too?" Miss Bradley turned and looked at me.
"Oh - thank you. It is very kind of you." My porter, without great enthusiasm, added her luggage to mine; and in a few minutes we found ourselves on board the Channel ferry. Before the boat had been under way for ten minutes, I realized that Miss Bradley was a remarkable bore. Shyly and hesitantly she kept on talking about nothing, and made no remark worth taking notice of. I learned that she had been in Italy a fortnight, visiting her sister who was married to an Italian. She had never been out of England before. I did not look forward to travelling to London with her for another four hours, so excusing myself I went along to the booking-office on board the boat and booked myself a seat on the Golden Arrow. Miss Bradley was travelling by the ordinary boat train, so this would mean that we should part at Dover. At Dover I hired one of the crew to carry our luggage. Normally, passengers for the Golden Arrow are dealt with by the customs first, as the train leaves twenty minutes before the ordinary boat train. When the boy asked if we were going on the Golden Arrow, I hesitated and then said "Yes". It was too difficult to explain that one of us was and one of us wasn't, and then it would get Miss Bradley through the customs quickly. As we went towards the Customs Hall, I explained carefully to her that my train left before hers, but that I would see her through the customs; the boy would then take the luggage to our trains, and she could sit comfortably in hers till it left. Miss Bradley said, "Oh, thank you very much." The boy, of course, had put our suit-cases together on the counter, and Miss Bradley and I went and stood before them. In due course the customs examiner reached us, looked at the four suit-cases in that human X-ray manner which customs examiners must practise night and morning, and said, "This is all yours?" I was not quite sure whether he was speaking to me, or me and Miss Bradley. So I replied, "Well - mine and this lady's". The examiner said, "But you're together?" "For the moment," I said rather foolishly, smiling at Miss Bradley. "Yes," said the customs man patiently. "But are you travelling together?this your joint luggage?" "Well, no. Not exactly. We're just sharing a porter." I pointed my cases out. I had nothing to declare, and declared it. Without asking me to open them, the examiner chalked the cases and then, instead of moving to my left and dealing with Miss Bradley, moved to the right, and began X-raying somebody else's luggage. The boy took my cases off the counter. I hesitated for a moment, but then decided it was no use waiting for Miss Bradley since we were about to part, so I said: "Well, I'll say good-bye now, and go and find my train. I expect the examiner'll come back and do you next. The porter will stay and bring our luggage up to the trains when you're through. Good-bye." Miss Bradley said, "Oh... good-bye and thank you so much." We shook hands and I left.found my seat in the Golden Arrow and began to read. It must have been about twenty minutes later that I suddenly realized the train was due to leave in five minutes and that the porter had not yet brought my luggage. I was just going to look for him when he appeared, breathing heavily, with my suit-cases. I asked him rather what he had been doing. "The lady is still there," said the boy, "and will be for some time, I think. They are going through her things properly.' "But why?" "Well, they'd found forty watches when I came away, and that was only the start, so I thought maybe you wouldn't want me to wait." I have often wondered whether, when Miss Bradley stood so helplessly on the platform at Calais, she had already chosen me as the person to come to her rescue, or whether she was just sure that somebody would. Looking back, I think she must have chosen me.am fairly sure of that though exactly how, I have never been clear. I am quite sure she never made the slightest effort to make my acquaintance.
