The Republic of Komi.

We live in the Komi Republic. Our republic lies in the north of our country near the Urals. The population of the republic is about 1 million people; among them: Komi, the Russians, the Ukrainians, the German, and many others. Some people speak Komi language. There are many nationalities in our republic and all the nationalities have equal rights. They live in friendship.  The republic is bounded by the Kirov region in the south, by the Arkhangelskaya region in the north and in the west, by the Komi-Perm national district and the Tumen region in the east. It is not washed by any seas. There are no high mountains in our republic (the highest of them are the North Urals). But the republic has many rivers; the Sysola, the Vychegda, the Pechora and others. The Pechora is the longest river. It is rich in fish. The climate is cold and it is difficult to develop agriculture in the north. There are state farms in the republic. They grow cabbage, potatoes and carrots; they don’t grow wheat and fruits. We develop industry in our republic. In Syktyvkar we produce paper, in Vorkuta coal is mined. Our republic is rich in forests, gas and oil. Syktyvkar is the capital of our republic. Other large towns are: Vorkuta, Ukhta, Pechora, Inta and others. We love our republic.

4. Индивидуальная работа, работа в сотрудничестве с целью обмена информацией, актуализации ЛЕ и отработки навыков употребления видовременных форм глаголов, а также создания благоприятных условий для сближения ученического коллектива через общение.

Teacher: Good for you! We can’t imagine our republic without its capital. Of course Syktyvkar is not as large as most of the administrative centres of central Russia.

Teacher:  Well, you know a lot about our capital and you are great experts in grammar.

State authority in Komi is vested by the Head of the Republic of Komi, the State Council of the Republic of Komi, and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Komi. Like all republics the Republic of Komi has its symbols. What are they?

P1. The state symbols of our republic are the national flag, national emblem and national anthem.

Teacher: You have got three groups. Find the information about one of the state symbols of our republic in the Internet and be ready to share with the information. Imagine you are at the international conference.  (по количеству обучающихся на свободной парте лежат карточки, на обратной стороне каждой карточки написан город: Инта, Воркута, Сыктывкар; обучающиеся в быстром темпе берут себе одну из карточек и формируют три группы по названию города; пользуясь ресурсами сети Интернет, первая группа «Инта» ищет и готовит к презентации материал о национальной эмблеме республики, вторая группа «Воркута» – о флаге, третья группа «Сыктывкар» – о гимне; каждая группа решает сама, кто будет представлять конечный продукт их работы, введение элемента игры – выступление на международной конференции – делают задание более привлекательным для обучающихся)

(Приложение № 1, № 2, № 3)

Teacher: Let’s listen to the national anthem of our republic and be ready to work with the English equivalent of it. (исполняется гимн республики на коми языке, русском языке, на английском языке - зачитывается, все встают; примечание – гимн республики Коми исполняется на двух языках – коми и русском)

7. Аудирование с целью понимания основного содержания сообщения о коми языке с однократного предъявления. (слайды 33, 34)

Teacher: Thanks a lot for your participation. You are so patriotic. It’s really interesting for us to read the anthem of our republic in English. But now I would like to say a few words about the Komi language. As you know 2009 was the year of the Komi language in our republic. Listen to me attentively and mark the statements: T (true) or F (false): (2009 год в Коми был назван Годом коми языка; обучающиеся прослушивают аудиозапись о коми языке и с первого предъявления выполняют задание – определяют, согласны они с утверждением или нет; задание выполняется индивидуально, проверка проводится учителем после урока; если нет возможности сделать аудиозапись – учитель может зачитать текст сам)

Аудирование.

The Komi language, also known as Zyrian, or Komi-Zyrian, is a Finno-Permic language spoken by the Komi peoples in the northeastern European part of Russia. Komi is one of the two members of the Permic subgroup of the Finno-Ugric branch. The other Permic language is Udmurt, to which Komi is closely related. Of the several dialects found within Komi, two major dialects are recognized, although the differences are not great: Komi-Zyrian, the largest group, serves as the literary basis within the Komi Republic; and Komi-Yazva, spoken by a small, isolated group of Komi to the north-west of Perm Krai and south of the Komi Republic. Permyak is spoken in Komi-Permyak, where it has literary status. Komi language has a very interesting history of writing, unusual among Finno-Ugric languages. The first writing system, the Old Permic script, was invented in the 14th century by the missionary Stepan Khrap, apparently of a Komi mother in Veliky Ustyug. Stephen later became a Komi saint. The alphabet shows some similarity to Medieval Greek and Cyrillic. In the 16th century this alphabet was replaced by the Russian alphabet with certain modifications for affricates. In the 1920s, the language was written in Molodtsov alphabet, also derived from Cyrillic. In the 1930s it was switched to Latin. Since the 1940s it uses the Russian alphabet plus the additional letters "І, і" and Unicode"Ӧ, ӧ". Letters particular to the Molodtsov alphabet include: Komi-Zyrian. Komi-Zyrian, ("Коми Кыв - Komi Kyv") or simply Zyrian or Zyryan, is spoken by the Komi-Zyrians' ethnic group in Komi Republic and some other parts of Russia. It is disputed whether Zyrian is a separate language or a dialect of Komi, because of its affinity to Komi-Permyak language. In 1994, Komi-Zyrian had about 285,000 speakers. It was written in the form of Old Permic language for liturgical purposes as early as the 14th century in the Old Permic script. Said alphabet was replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet in the 17th century. A tradition of secular works of literature in the modern form of the language dates back to the 19th century. Komi-Zyrian has ten dialects: Prisyktyvkarsky, Nizhnevychegodsky, Srednevychegodsky, Luzsko-letsky, Verkhnesysolsky, Verkhnevychegodsky, Pechorsky, Izhemsky, Vymsky, and Udorsky. Prisyktyvkarsky is spoken in the region of Syktyvkar and forms the model for the generic standard dialect of the language.

1. Zyrian language is spoken by the Komi peoples.
2. The first writing system, the Old Permic script, was invented in the 16th century by the missionary Stepan Khrap.
3. Stephen later became a Komi saint.
4. The alphabet shows some similarity to Medieval Greek and Cyrillic.
5. Zyrian or Zyryan, is spoken by the Komi-Zyrians' ethnic group only in Komi Republic.
6. Komi-Zyrian has twenty dialects.

Key: 1- T; 2- F; 3- T; 4- T; 5- F; 6- F

8. Предъявление экстралингвистического объекта, 2-3 минутная видео зарисовка о родном городе, с целью заинтересовать обучающихся поиском дополнительной информации. (слайд 35, вставка видеосюжета об Инте Windows Movie, Nero Show Time )                                                 Teacher: Well, it’s time to sum up. You’ve worked hard today. I hope you enjoyed the lesson and the activities you were involved during the lesson. But there is one thing we haven’t discussed. (демонстрируется видео зарисовка об Инте)  Ps. It’s our native town.

III. Заключительный этап урока.

THE NATIONAL EMBLEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOMI

The National Emblem of the Republic of Komi is an image of the gold bird of prey on the red heraldic shield created after Perm animal style. There is a woman face on the bird's breast surrounded by six elk heads. The Komi mythological views are reflected in the combination of the bird, human being and elk made in the hieratic cast style. 

 The traditions interpret the bird of prey with the half-spread wings as a combined image of the Sun, Power and Upper World. The woman face on the bird's breast means Zarni An (Golden Woman) that is Goddess of the Sun and World Mother granting life. The elk image associates with Power, Nobility and Beauty. According to the cosmological conception it is a synthesis of the concordant structure of the world. The gold and red colour combination which is the key one in the colour scheme of the National Emblem symbolizes the morning spring warm sunlight, motherhood and birth in the Komi folklore. At the same time a contemporary public and political interpretation for the red field (the background) is activity, vigour of people and power. In combination with the shield shape it may be associated with the historical fate of Komi people, who are part of the multinational Russian state. Therewith the bird with the half-spread wings assumes the cross shape that might be interpreted as a symbol of ecclesiastical and state power.

Приложение № 2

THE NATIONAL FLAG OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOMI

The National Flag of the Republic of Komi is a square cloth consisting of three horizontal stripes combined in the following order: blue (the upper), green (the middle), white (the lower). Each of them is one third of the flag width. The colour scheme of the flag corresponds to the specific geographical characteristics and natural wealth of the Republic of Komi. The blue colour symbolizes Celestial Origin, greatness and vastness of the northern tracts. The green stripe symbolizes hope and wealth. It is associated with a boundless parma (Komi taiga) that is the major wealth of the Republic of Komi and the main habitat area of Komi people. The white stripe incarnates the snow whiteness and purity, virginity and severity of the northern nature beauty. It also indicates the northern location of the Republic of Komi. At the same time the white colour may be rendered as a symbol of equality of the nations living in the Republic of Komi and unity of their cultures.

Приложение № 3

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOMI

The national anthem is a symbol of the democratic legal state, support of the national culture traditions and unity of the multinational population. The Anthem melody is based on Viktor Savin's song "Varysh poz" (Falcon Nest) in Mikhail Gertsman's arrangement.

The National Anthem of the Republic of Komi

Lyrics:

(Lyrics of Viktor Savin, the Komi edition by V. Timin,
the Russian edition by А.Shergina and A. Suvorov)

Ылын-ылын Войвылын
Джуджыд парома сулалö.
Парма шöрын варыш поз
Кыпыд горöн шыалö.

Лэбзьöй, повтöм варышъяс,
Вына бордъяс шеныштлöй,
Веськыд туйöд нуöдöй,
Коми мусö югдöдöй!

Север, наш родимый край,
Глубоки твои снега,
Холодны твои ветра,
Высока твоя тайга!

Нас несут через века
Соколиные крыла.
Коми край, твоя судьба
Благодатна и светла!

Far, far away in the North

The high taiga stands.

There's a falcon's nest in the heart of the taiga,

With joyous chirp of nestlings heard from it.

Fly away, fearless falcons,

Flap with your strong wings,

And lead the Komi land to blissful life

By the shortest track!
