Предисловие

Современный учитель английского языка имеет возможность выбирать


из  представленных на  рынке учебной литературы те пособия, которые по-
зволяют наиболее эффективно учитывать образовательные возможности
и  потребности обучающихся и  в  то  же время не  противоречат содержанию
УМК, используемых при обучении в  настоящее время. Дополнительные
учебные пособия позволяют в  большей степени сконцентрировать внима-
ние на  определённых аспектах обучения английскому языку, в  частности
на  грамматике. Необходимость в  системной разработке дополнительных
грамматических упражнений продиктована их недостаточным количест-
вом в большинстве УМК, что приводит к многочисленным грамматическим
ошибкам в речи обучающихся, некорректному построению вопросов, непра-
вильному использованию вспомогательных глаголов и т. д.
Грамматический тренажёр “Grammar Practice, 10th – 11th forms” под-
готовлен в  соответствии с  требованиями Федерального государственного
образовательного стандарта основного общего образования и основывается
на  современных педагогических технологиях обучения иностранному (ан-
глийскому) языку.
Отличительной особенностью грамматического тренажёра “Grammar
Practice, 10th – 11th forms” является его направленность на последователь-
ную и  поэтапную отработку грамматических структур английского языка
с  учётом трудностей, возникающих при восприятии грамматического ма-
териала. Достаточное количество упражнений по  каждой грамматической
теме позволяет учителю системно выстроить учебный процесс, начиная
с  повторения ранее пройденного материала и  постепенного ввода новых
грамматических явлений в  задания коммуникативного характера. Значи-
тельное количество упражнений направлено на  закрепление грамматиче-
ской формы (вопросы, отрицательные предложения и  т.  п.), что позволит
обучающимся в  дальнейшем корректно выстраивать свои высказывания
в  содержательном плане. Следует особо подчеркнуть необходимость пись-
менного выполнения представленных упражнений с целью прочного усвое-
ния грамматического материала. Все грамматические задания построены
на  активном лексическом материале, пройденном ранее или изучаемом
в  10–11  классах. Такой системный подход к  процессу овладения грамма-
тическим материалом позволит планомерно подготовить обучающихся
к  успешному прохождению государственной аттестации по  английскому
языку.
Тренажёр может быть использован по  усмотрению учителя на  этапах
первичной отработки грамматических тем и закрепления пройденных, в ка-
честве материала для домашнего задания или дополнительной самостоя-
тельной работы, а также на факультативных занятиях.
