Методические рекомендации по применению

серии коммуникативных ситуаций

Коммуникативные ситуации должны формулироваться с акцентом на их смысловое содержание. Чтобы учебный процесс напоминал естественное общение, следует помнить о необходимости коммуникативной связанности заданий: переход от одного задания к другому должен быть логичным, плавным, незаметным.

1.      Учащимся, испытывающим личностные трудности при общении,  следует предлагать коммуникативные ситуации, в которых они ощущают наименьший дискомфорт.

2.      При распределении ролей коммуникативной ситуации следует учитывать индивидуальные особенности учащихся, т.е. направленность их личности (экстравертированность, интровертированность). Экстравертам можно предлагать  роли неторопливых персонажей. Интровертам – роли, имеющие яркие черты, роли активных в общении персонажей. 

3.      При необходимости к заданиям речевых ситуаций можно добавить ключевые слова, которые послужат опорой для слабых учеников.

4.      Целесообразно при разыгрывании речевых ситуаций использовать необходимые атрибуты, создающие атмосферу естественности.
