АУДИРОВАНИЕ
1. Задача
Проверить уровень сформированности умений слушателей в следующих видах аудирования:
с пониманием основного содержания услышанного;
с извлечением необходимой информации.
2. Продолжительность теста
Общая продолжительность теста - 45 минут.
Каждый текст звучит дважды. Перед вторым предъявлением звучащего текста дается 10-15 секунд для доработки ответов. В конце каждого задания слушателям дается 15-30 секунд для проверки работы.
3. Инструкции к заданиям
Инструкции к заданиям предъявляются в письменном виде. Язык инструкций простой и доступный для слушателей.
4. Методические рекомендации
Аудиотексты, используемые на экзамене, аутентичны и представлены разными жанрами и типами текста, что также необходимо учитывать при отборе аудиотекстов и организации работы с ними на уроке.
В зависимости от цели проверки от слушателей требуется понимание аудиотекстов с разной глубиной и точностью проникновения в их содержание, что, в свою
61
очередь, требует от слушателей способности использовать разные стратегии восприятия информации. Например, при проверке умения воспринимать на слух и извлекать необходимую фактическую информацию от слушателей требуется умение вычленять исключительно запрашиваемую информацию (имена действующих лиц, место и время действия, события и т.д.), уметь абстрагироваться от избыточной второстепенной информации (scanning).
Умение воспринимать на слух основное содержание аудиотекста также не предполагает точного понимания всего текста. Слушатели должны уметь понять основную мысль, идею предъявляемого отрывка, что не требует понимания каждого отдельного слова (skimming).
Вопросы в задании также помогают слушателю сориентироваться в тематике аудиотекста и правильно выбрать стратегию восприятия информации. Например, если запрашивается информация об отношении, мнении человека, или нужно сделать вывод, то от слушателя требуется полное понимание аудиотекста. В случаях, когда надо вычленить место, время, возраст и т.д., от слушателей требуется умение сосредоточиться исключительно на запрашиваемой информации и не обращать внимания на второстепенную, излишнюю информацию.
Успешное выполнение теста по аудированию, наряду с вышеизложенными условиями, во многом зависит от умения слушателей работать во временном режиме. Следует обратить внимание слушателей на необходимость ознакомления с вопросами до предъявления аудиотекста, так как они помогают сориентироваться в тематике аудиотекста, правильно выбрать стратегию восприятия информации.
Необходимо формировать умение заносить ответы уже при первичном предъявлении аудиотекста. Слушатели должны знать, что вопросы в задании расположены в порядке поступления информации. Если возникает затруднение при ответе на какой-либо вопрос, следует
62
оставить его и постараться дать ответы на последующие. Недостающие ответы заносятся при повторном прослушивании аудиотекста. Нерациональное использование времени, отводимого на ознакомление с вопросами, занесение ответов может привести к сбою при восприятии информации, замешательству слушателя и, в результате, неблагоприятно повлиять на результаты тестирования.

GOOD ADVICE
Once a farmer went to the nearest town to sell some butter and eggs there. It didn’t take him long to sell his goods. After he had sold all the butter and eggs he decided to go to the inn to have his dinner there.
On coming to the inn, he sat down at a table, called a waiter and ordered his dinner. Then he looked around and saw a group of people who were speaking about the local lawyer.
“The lawyer is very clever and always gives good advice to his clients,” said one of the men.
After dinner the farmer went to the lawyer and asked to give him some advice. The lawyer asked the farmer what advice he needed.
“You can give me any advice you like,” answered the
farmer.
The lawyer smiled, took a piece of paper, wrote a few words and gave it to the farmer. The farmer took the paper and without reading it left the lawyer’s office.
Late in the evening the farmer returned home. His wife asked him to gather in the hay. But the farmer was very tired and was about to go to bed. He didn’t know what to do. Then he remembered that he had the lawyer’s advice in his pocket. He
68
took the paper out and read the following words: “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.”
Then the farmer left the house to gather in the hay. He worked for some hours and at last the hay was gathered in.
At night there was a storm and the farmer was very glad that he had followed the lawyer’s advice and that his hay wasn’t ruined.
