                                         Методические рекомендации к уроку

                        «Британская монархия и парламентская демократия»

    Идея проведения данного урока заимствована из учебника английского языка для 8 класса авторов К.И. Кауфман и М.Ю Кауфман Happy English.ru. Этот урок построен полностью на страноведческом материале. Если раньше страноведческие сведения сопровождали базовый курс иностранного языка лишь как комментарий при изучении того или иного материала, то в настоящее время лингвострановедческий аспект становится неотъемлемой частью уроков иностранного языка. Все более ощущается необходимость обучать и тому, что «лежит за языком» – культуре страны изучаемого языка. Использование лингвострановедческого аспекта способствует формированию мотивации учения, что в условиях школьного обучения важно, т.к. само иноязычное общение не подкреплено языковой средой. Важнейший мотивационный стимул изучения иностранного языка является стремление к расширению своего общего кругозора. Следовательно, в школе учебный предмет английского языка является средством приобщения учащихся к духовной культуре других народов.  

    На данном уроке учащиеся знакомятся с основами парламентского государства, с конституционной монархией.  С точки зрения методики на данном уроке проверяются следующие умения и навыки учащихся: умение понимать английскую речь на слух, строить монологические высказывания,  умение работать с текстом. В конце учащимся был предложен тест на проверку усвоения материала урока с последующей самопроверкой. Таким образом, оценку получил каждый ученик. В качестве домашнего задания был предложен кроссворд страноведческого характера, повторяющий материал урока.

        Хочется  отметить, что уроки страноведения вызывают у учеников потребность в дальнейшем самостоятельном ознакомлении со страноведческими материалами. Ребята с удовольствием ищут дополнительный материал к урокам такого плана, которым они потом с удовольствием делятся с одноклассниками.

   Для проведения данного урока необходимы: компьютер, мультимедийный проектор, аудиозапись.

Чтобы проверить правильность ответов на вопросы, учащиеся подробно рассматривают схему, выделив сначала ее основные составляющие: The Monarch, the Government and Parliament. Затем выделяют то, что является частью правительства и парламента и их основные функции. (На экран проецируется схема в двух вариантах. Во втором случае с отображением взаимосвязи отдельных ветвей власти).

There is a scheme of the political system of the UK. You know, Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a constitutional monarchy.

 This means that Great Britain is governed by the Parliament and the Queen is the head of State.

The British Parliament consists of two chambers: the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Lords is composed of hereditary and life peers. The members of the House of Commons are elected by the people. The House of Commons is the real governing body of the UK.

The government is usually formed by the political party which is supported by the majority in the House of Commons. Prime minister is the majority party leader and is appointed by the Queen. Prime Minister chooses a team of ministers; 20 of the ministers are in the Cabinet.

The second largest party becomes the official opposition with its own leader and the Shadow Cabinet.

THE MONARCH

Is the official head of state and an integral part of Parliament in her constitutional role; has mostly representative functions; gives the royal assent to the bills passed by the House of Commons and the House of Lords; is the head of the Commonwealth of Nations

The monarch is the official head of state and an integral part of Parliament in her constitutional role. The present monarch is the Queen Elizabeth. She has mostly representative function. Everything today is done in the Queen’s name. It’s her government, her forces, her law courts and so on. She appoints all the Ministers, including the Prime Minister. She also gives the royal assent to the bills passed by the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Everything is done however on the advice of the elected Government, and the monarch takes no part in the decision-making process.

THE GOVERNMENT

the Prime Minister

is the head of government; is the leader of the party with the majority seats (места) in the House of Commons

The Prime Minister is the head of government. He is the leader of the party with the majority seats in the House of Commons. The Prime Minister chooses about 20 MPs from his or her party to become the Cabinet of Ministers. It determines government policies and coordinates government departments. Each minister is responsible for a particular area of the government. The second largest party becomes the official opposition with its own leader and “Shadow cabinet”.

The British Parliament consists of the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The House of Commons plays the major role in law-making. It consists of  650 elected Members of  Parliament, each of whom represents an area in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.  The House of Commons is presided over by the Speaker.

7. Презентация.

По закону правящий монарх является (третьей) частью парламента в своей конституционной роли, ибо без королевской санкции законопроект не становиться законом. В данной схеме, как это принято в Британии, монарх вынесен во главу схемы в силу того, что является официальной главой государства, но его функции чисто церемониальные. Королева Елизавета II – официальная глава государства. Обратимся к презентации.

The Houses of Parliament

Welcome to the Palace of Westminster. It consists of three parts: the Royal Apartments where the colour is gold, the House of Lords where the seats are red and the House of Commons where the seats are green.

We are now in the Chamber of the House of Lords. Please be quiet and don't sit on these red benches.

The Chamber of the House of Lords is also called the Parliament Chamber, because every year when the Queen comes to open Parliament, all three parts of Parliament come together here for the Queen's Speech. In fact, it's not really the Queen's Speech, because she doesn't write it. The Government writes it for her. In the speech the Queen tells Parliament about the Government's plans for the next year. When she gives her speech, she sits on the throne over there. Can you all see it? Yes, it's that big chair behind the big red cushion.

Oh, and that cushion is, actually, the famous Woolsack. And yes, there is wool inside it. It's a part of a very old tradition which started in the 14th century. It was put in Parliament to symbolise the importance of wool to the British economy at that time.

The person who usually sits on the Woolsack is the Lord Chancellor. He presides over the House of Lords.

Now we are going through into the House of Commons, where MPs make decisions on new laws. Let's walk through this beautiful arch. There are two statues, one on each side of the arch. Both of these two men were Prime Ministers. One is David Lloyd George, and the other - Sir Winston Churchill. They represent the two main British political parties - the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. We have a tradition: if you're a Conservative, touch Churchill's shoe, and if you're Labour, touch Lloyd George's shoe. Have you touched a shoe? Now let's turn right.

Do you see two long narrow corridors on your left and on your right? These are very important for the whole country because MPs come here to vote on bills for new laws. On the left there is the "aye", or yes, lobby. MPs who agree with a bill go there. On the right there is the "no" lobby for MPs who want to vote against the bill. Then the officials count the "ayes" and the "noes" to get the results. So in the British Parliament MPs don't vote by pushing a button; they vote with their feet.

Let's go through the "no" lobby and into the House of Commons, where you'll see that the benches are green. The chamber here isn't very big. In fact, there are only places for 437 people on the benches, but there are 650 MPs, so sometimes they have to sit on the steps when the House is full. Now we're standing behind the Speaker's chair. The Speaker is the person who presides over the House of Commons.

Now look at the floor. Can you see two red lines in front of the benches on each side of the chamber? That's part of a tradition too. The distance between these two lines is two swords' lengths. In the old days when MPs used to carry swords, it was dangerous if they got angry with each other. So these two lines are here to remind MPs that they shouldn't start a fight, and they can't go over this line when they are speaking in a debate.

Today there's nobody here, so you won't see the Mace, which is put on this table when the House of Commons is sitting. The Mace is the symbol of the power which Parliament won from the King a long time ago, and MPs have a lot of respect for it. It even has its own guard, who has a very big sword.

Now let's leave the House of Commons and go to Westminster Hall. This is the oldest part of the Palace of Westminster, and it's more than a thousand years old. The son of William the Conqueror... Do you remember the Norman leader who won the Battle of Hastings? Well, it was his son who started the building of the hall. This building has seen a lot of famous events. In 1605 Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament, and in World War II bombs fell on it.
