6.1. Distinguishing characteristics of plot lessons

Non-standard or plot lessons differ from standard ones in the types of learners' activities. Plot lessons are devoid of the traditional dualism in the relations between the teacher and students which is generally practiced at standard lessons: at non-standard lessons the teacher isn't the dominant per­sonality who controls everything.

Learners' behaviour at plot lessons is subservient to psychological peculi­arities of socially organized types of people's activities in which speech in the foreign language is used as a means of speech interaction having the form of debates, lectures, discussions etc. Learners' conduct at plot lessons as well as their speech is socially conditioned by the type of their social behaviour.

Non-standard (plot) lessons create the conditions for learners to produce such speech utterances in a foreign language which are produced on the spot instead of using items carefully prepared in advance. Students find them­selves in somewhat new unusual situations which were not specially planned or role-played before. At plot (non-standard) lessons each of the learners is given rather limited time to speak, and that's why they'd sooner think of the contents of speech than of its accuracy. It is this peculiarity of non-standard lessons that makes students produce socially backgrounded speech reactions generated each time anew. That's why learners' constructing sentences, ut­terances, answering and/or asking unexpected questions at plot lessons can be considered unprepared and spontaneous in their speech. However, from the point of view of its contents their speech is prepared [45, 16].

The conditions students are placed in at plot lessons are much more natu­ral for developing oral speech foreign language competence through producing unprepared spontaneous contents and speech utterances than those created at standard lessons. This is the most peculiar feature of non-standard plot lessons in contrast to standard lessons.

The goal of non-standard plot lessons is to create conditions for learners' producing natural spontaneous speech in the foreign language through their taking part in specially organized projects, discussions which can be control­led and free, debates, round-table talks, interviews and other socially organ­ized types of people's activities.

Methodology differentiates between 11 types of non-standard (plot) les­sons: Quizzing-Game Lesson, Lecture Lesson, Press Conference Lesson, Round-Table Lesson, Brain-Storming Lesson, Discussion Lesson, Debate Lesson, Interview Lesson, Simulation Lesson and Project Lesson.

During the lessons which precede a non-standard plot lesson learners study a unit on a special topic. They carry out tasks in reading, listening com­prehension, speaking, writing, as well as exercises in vocabulary and gram­mar included in the unit. When the meaningful contexts of the topic and the linguistic material of the unit are studied the teacher fixes the date of the non-standard lesson.

From the point of view of methodology it is correct to conduct a non-standard lesson after each unit covering 5 or 6 lessons. The teacher should an­nounce the type of the non-standard lesson at the first lesson which opens the unit. Learners must know what type of presentation, i.e. which non-standard lesson, they will have to take part in. It helps them to study, memorize, ana­lyze and classify the language material in compliance with the type of presen­tation of the topic at the non-standard lesson.

To conduct a non-standard lesson the teacher divides the circle of stu­dents into several small teams. The number of the teams depends upon the type of a non-standard lesson. Each team has a special task. Learners prepare to a non-standard lesson — find out necessary information on the Internet, resource centres, in press, they process it, make up questions, prepare an­swers to questions which can be expected etc. — simultaneously with their studying the unit after which this lesson is to be conducted.

Regretfully, non-standard lessons are not yet a must in this country due to the lack of school hours for foreign language instruction in the Curriculum of a Secondary School in Ukraine, on the one hand, and because of the lack of highly professional teachers, on the other.

In the sections that follow various types of non-standard lessons are being considered.
