Лексико-грамматическое пособие для студентов второго курса факультетов и отделений английского языка педвузов. –Москва,2007.–205 с.

Рецензенты:

доцент МПГУ, кандидат педагогических наук Бржозовская К.М.;

доцент МГУС, кандидат филологических наук, Никитина Г.М.

За основу пособия автором взят лексико-грамматический материал, составляющий содержание обучения студентов-второкурсников педвузов практическому курсу английского языка в рамках первой и второй (дополнительной) специальности.

Пособие состоит из 7 разделов, 3 приложений и списка используемой литературы. Общий объём пособия - 205 страниц. 

С точки зрения структуры, пособие укладывается в схему, предложенную учебником «Практический курс английского языка». ч. II под ред. В.Д Apaкина, что позволяет преподавателю последовательно комбинировать учебник и пособие, по мере необходимости чередуя академический и прикладной подходы к обучению.

Работа над лексикой представлена в пособии в двух направлениях: 1) активная лексика; 2) тематическая лексика. Много внимания уделяется сочетаемости слов, фразовым глаголам, идиоматическим выражениям, синонимическим рядам, что способствует обогащению вокабуляра учащихся на качественно более высоком уровне. Большое значение автор придаёт самостоятельной работе учащихся со словарём. 

Грамматический материал представлен двумя большими разделами: «Сослагательное наклонение» и «Модальные глаголы и  выражения». Грамматика вводится порционно. Каждый грамматический квант содержит сведения об образовании и использовании того или иного грамматического явления; многочисленные упражнения, отражающие доречевой, условно-речевой и речевой этапы тренировки. 

Комплекс упражнений по тематической лексике седьмого урока не представлен в данном пособии, так как изучается в отдельном курсе практических занятий по физической географии Великобритании.

Преимуществом данного пособия является интегрированное формирование лексических и грамматических навыков устной и письменной речи.  Автором удачно подобран текстовой материал, что будет способствовать устойчивой мотивации учащихся при работе с пособием, что, в свою очередь, обеспечит высокую эффективность и результативность этой работы. 

Несмотря на то, что пособие задумывалось в качестве дополнения к учебнику, оно вполне может использоваться самостоятельно.

Пособие выполнено и опробовано на кафедре иностранных языков II специальности географического факультета Московского Педагогического Государственного Университета, 2007
