INNOVATIVE PEDAGOGICAL ASPECTS OF USE OF AUTHENTICITY OF MATERIALS IN TEACHING ENGLISH

Abstract

In this article there were studied pedagogical and psychological principles of using authentic materials, which are a fairly new direction for pedagogical science and practice. We showed, that as a rule teachers were used to pay attention to textbook materials. However, in modern educational activities, teachers-methodists tend to use authentic materials to a much greater extent than to use educational texts. This, in turn, will greatly contribute to a more productive mastering of educational materials by schoolchildren. On the other hand, the authenticity of the content material allows pupils to delve into the essence of the theoretical and practical issues having been studied, and this will have a rather positive effect on the overall effectiveness of training, on better mastering of educational content in general.
 In our empirical research we proposed for pupils of secondary school such proverbs and sayings, which they had to study. Before giving the pupils such a task to study these proverbs and sayings, we combined the last ones into some main paradigmatic groups, such as: “Skills. Personal characteristics”; “Personal experience. Skills”; “Help”; “Laziness. Negligence”; “Teaching. Tutorials”. We studied phonetic and stylistic aspects of proverbs and sayings with the component of “human activity”. In turn, after studying them we modelated some exercises for pupils, to underline in their structure the paradigm of authenticity. So, in this article it was firstly when for pupils there were proposed our author’s authentic tasks and exercises. We proved, that pedagogical and psychological content of these lexical units in a large degree was reached by rhyme of proverbs and sayings, such as: rhyme of proverbs and sayings; full male rhyme; accurate or identical male rhyme; full female rhyme; alliteration of proverbs and sayings; repetition of two sounds in the structure of proverbs and sayings; a combination of alliteration with rhymes in the structure of proverbs and sayings; assonance in the structure of proverbs and sayings.
