Введение
Учебно-методическое пособие "Fascinating World of Biology" предназначено для студентов вузов, аспирантов биологических специализаций, а также для всех желающих научиться читать специальную литературу по биологии.
Цель пособия:
развитие навыков чтения оригинальной литературы по специальности;
дальнейшее развитие навыков устной речи;
накопление словарного запаса по специальности;
повторение основных грамматических структур.
Пособие поможет подготовиться к самостоятельной работе с оригинальной литературой, и будет стимулировать дальнейшее развитие навыков устной речи и выработку умения общаться с коллегами по вопросам практической и научной работы.
Основная часть пособия состоит из 12 учебных блоков, включающих в себя тексты для чтения по биологии, поурочный словарь и упражнения для закрепления лексико-грамматического материала, предусмотренного программой неязыковых факультетов вузов. Приложение включает в себя тексты для дополнительного чтения, англо-русский словарь.
Лексические блоки пособия содержат:
Основной текст для перевода с английского языка на русский.
Упражнения на решение грамматических и лексических задач.
Дополнительный текст для перевода с английского языка на русский, который может быть использован в качестве текста для домашнего чтения.
Все тексты, включенные в данное пособие, взяты из современных научных и научно-популярных изданий (книг, журналов и газет) по проблемам эволюции, классификации, генетики, биологии человека и др. Тексты оригинальные и приводятся без адаптации.
Упражнения пособия направлены на усвоение общенаучной и специальной лексики, а также грамматики, необходимой как для чтения научной литературы, так и для устного общения. Упражнения разнотипны, но набор типов и их последовательность во всех уроках практически одинаковы, что облегчает понимание задач в упражнениях.
Тексты, представленные в конце лексического блока, тематически связаны с основным текстом блока, развивают и углубляют тему и позволяют применять на практике знания, полученные в результате изучения материала основного текста.
Тексты для дополнительного чтения приложения рекомендуются для индивидуального чтения. Научно-популярные тексты из оригинальной англоязычной литературы представляют собой современный взгляд на проблемы биологии, повествуют о новейших методиках и достижениях в области микробиологии, генетики, вирусологии, физиологии.
В англо-русский словарь включались как новые слова, так и знакомые, но требующие повторения. При этом учитывался принцип тематической частотности слов, т.е. вероятности их употребления в текстах на заданную тему.
