                                      ПЛАН УРОКА:

1)    Орг. Момент.

2)    Речевая зарядка: Well, children, the theme of our lesson today is “Where does the Russian language come from?” Let’s translate it. So children today we are going to speak about the history of the Russian language. But first of all, let’s review the history of the English language and the theme “Why is English so popular?” Let’s review 5 main points of its popularity. And then compare it with the history of our language.

Now answer my questions, please:

1)    What countries or tribes tried to invade the British Isles? (They are the Romans, Angels, Saxons, Vikings, Normans.)

2)    How did they contribute to the formation of the English language? (p.80 The roots of the English language).

Now let’s review the Russian history.Can you say that any countries or tribes tried to invade our country? Of course, you can. Name these countries, please: they are: Sweden, Poland, Turkey, Mongol, France, German. Did they contribute to the formation of the Russian language? Of course, they did. And you will see it at our lesson.

     The next point. England was the Great Empire, please remind us about it.(p.81 British Empire).

And answer my question, please. Have you ever heard about such a great country as Soviet Union? You have. It’s great. I can’t say that it was an empire, but there were 15 vain republics in this union. And people used Russian as their first language, and they still learn and speak Russian.

3)    And as far as I know, English is so popular, because it is easy. Do you agree with me? (p.79)

Now let’s remember the Russian language. For example, Russian alphabet. Is it very difficult? Yes, it is difficult for some foreigners. But it takes them about a week to learn it. But is it  difficult to read and write Russian words and sentences, if you know the alphabet? Are there any reading rules as in English? No, there aren’t. So Russian is not difficult either.

4)    You know, that English is the language of business. Do you agree with me? (p.79)

Now, let’s remember the latest news around our gas and the transit of Russian gas to the European countries through Ukraine. In what language did they make their talks? In English? No, they made their talks in Russian. So I think, that Russian is the language of business too. Do you agree with me?

5)    And the fifth main point. English is the language of the Internet. What can you say about this point? (p.86)

But as far as I know, Russian students won a lot of awards in the International Olimpiads on Information Technology. So, who knows? May be Russian will become the  language of computers. Well, I must say, that our histories are very similar, aren’t they? They are.

And now let’s listen and read the text about Russian language. Open your books at page 98, ex.3. Listen, read and translate it.

Let’s do ex.4,5 at page 99.

There are three myths about Russian language. Read and translate them ex.6.

Listen to Rob and find the facts against these myth ex.7.
