Video Materials as a Means of Developing Speaking Ability at English Lessons

Abstract

The modern system of teaching a foreign language is characterized by the fact that practical knowledge of a foreign language has become the need of every educated person in connection with the requirements of society. A foreign language has a beneficial effect on the general level of culture of people, contributes to the development of communication.

The formation of communicative competence is the main and leading goal of teaching a foreign language. Today this is especially true. Oral communication, whose role has now become particularly significant, is impossible without a well-developed speaking ability. For competent foreign language communication, you need to know the grammar rules, constantly replenish your vocabulary, have knowledge of the phonetic features of the language, an understanding of the traditions and culture of the language being studied, and, of course, develop speaking skills. According to the state standard of teaching a foreign language for a basic level, for successful communication, a student must learn to conduct a dialogue using value judgments in situations of official and unofficial communication. Talk about himself, his plans; participate in the discussion of problems in connection with read / heard foreign language text, observing the rules of speech etiquette; talk about your surroundings, reason in the framework of the studied topics and problems; be able to present a sociocultural portrait of one’s country of the language being studied.

Achieving this goal is impossible without the use of modern technologies in the learning process, including technical teaching aids, such as video. Despite the sufficient equipment of schools with various equipment, teachers often do not use it in the classroom, primarily because modern educational and methodological kits rarely contain video courses, and there is not enough time to select additional material. Some believe that the use of video in the classroom is unnecessary, “dampens” children, and spends time in the classroom. However, we see video materials as one of the means that increase the activity of students in the lesson and generate their desire to express themselves, to express their opinion on what they saw. Thus, students will develop speaking skills and communication skills in a foreign language, namely it is the main goal of teaching a foreign language. The insufficient development of the methodology for the use of video materials in English classes has determined the relevance of this work.
