Школьная олимпиада по английскому языку увлекает
учащихся интересными заданиями, развивает их познавательные потребности,
позволяет им самоутвердиться и познать самих себя, то есть создает все условия
для формирования смысла учения, что в результате ведет к стимулированию и
формированию положительной мотивации для изучения иностранного языка. Олимпиада
также выявляет лингвистически одаренных детей и позволяет им участвовать и
побеждать на олимпиадах различных уровней. Олимпиаду по английскому языку можно
проводить в рамках предметной недели. Задания могут быть следующие:
1.
“Use of English”
– это грамматические задания, в которых необходимо раскрыть скобки и поставить
глагол в нужную форму. Это задание дается в связи с тем, что видовременные формы
глагола представляют собой основную сложность в изучении иностранного языка.
2.
В части
“Reading” проверяется умение
понимать текст в целом и распознавать детали. Для этого необходимо ответить на
вопросы и определить верность высказываний.
3.
В части
“Writing” необходимо выполнить
задания, проверяющие умение владеть письменной речью: написание записки,
открытки, письма, заполнение формуляра и т.д. Требуемое количество слов
варьируется в зависимости от года обучения: 5-6 классы – 50 слов, 7 класс – 100
слов, 8 класс – 150 слов.
4.
“Listening” включает в себя задания,
направленные на проверку понимания общего содержания текста и его деталей.
Каждый текст звучит дважды, и об этом обязательно надо проинформировать детей.
Целесообразно дать учащимся возможность перед прослушиванием текста
ознакомиться с заданиями, которые им предстоит выполнить. Следует убедиться,
что все учащиеся понимают суть упражнений, и только после этого приступать к
работе с записью.
5.
“Speaking” состоит из двух частей: проверка
навыков монологической и диалогической речи. Разнообразие заданий зависит от
класса и уровня владения языком.
Приведу пример олимпиадных заданий
для 7 класса.

Reading (7 points)
Read the magazine article and do
the tasks below.
Every good climber wants to climb
mountain Everest, 8,848 metres above the sea level, the highest mountain in the
world. It stands between Nepal and Tibet, in the Himalayas. It is, in fact,
quite a “young” mountain – only about two million years old. The Tibetans call
it Chomolungma, the “Mother of the World”.
Only just over 600 people have ever
climbed to the top of Everest. You cannot climb the mountain without special
permission from the government of Nepal; you can only climb it in May or
October every year; you must have a booking for your expedition – and at the
moment there are no more bookings for the next ten years!
The expeditions which have climbed
Everest have all used tents, oxygen bottles and other climbing equipment. Many
expeditions have left their old equipment behind them – empty oxygen bottles,
old food containers, etc – so there is now a serious litter problem high up on
the mountain.
The government of Nepal is now
trying to clean up the mountain. In May 1993 they gave permission to a team of
young Americans to climb the mountain … but they asked them to bring back the
litter on their way down again. The expedition brought down 2,850 kilos of
litter from the highest slopes of the mountain. This was the start of a plan to
clear all the litter from mountain Everest.
A Write down whether the following statements are
true or false.
1. Everest is less than 1,100 metres
high.
2. It is in the Alps.
3. 500 people have climbed it.
4. People can climb it from May to
October.
B Answer the following
questions/
1. Can you book an expedition to
Everest now?
2. Why is there a serious litter
problem?
3. How did the government start to
exercise their programme?

Text for listening.
The air hostess was in the small
kitchen at the back of the airplane preparing the trays for lunch when a little
old lady came up and spoke to her. “Could you please tell me”, she asked,
“where the ladies’ lavatory is in this airplane?”
“Yes, madam”, said the air hostess
and smiled. “It is right at the other end of the plane – at the front”.
The little old lady went too far.
She walked all the way to the front of the plane, opened the door in front of
her, and saw the captain of the plane and the other officers. They were all
busy at their work and didn’t see her. She went out again, shut the door and
returned to the air hostess.
“Oh, didn’t you find it, madam?”
the girl asked her.
“Yes, I did,” said the little old
lady. “But there are four men in the ladies’ lavatory watching television”.
