Методические указания студентам

 Методические указания студентам

Курс «Лингвострановедение» знакомит студентов с географией, историей, политическим устройством, культурными ценностями и реалиями англоязычных стран. Для успешного усвоения данной учебной дисциплины требуется, с одной стороны, определенная общегуманитарная подготовка каждого студента, т.е. «кругозором», «начитанностью», а с другой стороны, - хорошее знание английского языка и кропотливая, вдумчивая работы над соответствующей учебной литературой. Для достижения положительного результата крайне важна совместная заинтересованная работа студентов и преподавателя, читающего курс «Лингвострановедение».

Лекции познакомят студентов с географическим положением, рельефом, климатом, основными историческими вехами, политической системой,  традициями, культурой, искусством, различными сторонами современной жизни в Британии и США. Однако лекции представляют собой краткую, концентрированную информацию по разделам конкретных тем курса «Лингвострановедение». Задача студентов в процессе умелой работы на лекциях - внимательно слушать преподавателя, следить за его мыслью, уметь фиксировать основные идеи и наиболее существенные факты. От студента требуется по возможности посетить все лекционные занятия. Активная, вдумчивая и плодотворная работа на лекциях является предпосылкой к усвоению необходимых знаний.

Основная задача семинарского занятия – закрепление знаний, полученных на лекциях, и формирование навыков их практического применения. Необходимым условием для этого является самостоятельная целеустремленная работа с литературой по предмету. На семинарском занятии следует раскрыть вопросы, предложенные преподавателем по теме  семинара. Для этого целесообразно составить конспект текстов по вопросам темы. Поскольку предмет читается на английском языке, который является для студентов вторым изучаемым иностранным языком, для извлечения информации необходимо консультироваться с англо-русским и англо-английским словарем. Самостоятельная работа студента должна носить планомерный характер, вестись систематически и непрерывно.

Последовательность действий студентов можно представить следующим образом:

- сбор необходимой информации по теме;

- ее конспектирование;

- анализ имеющейся информации;

- подготовка выступления по теме семинарского занятия.

What is Magna Carta?

Why is this old piece of parchment considered to be such a powerful symbol of our rights and freedoms? Narrated by Monty Python’s Terry Jones, this animation takes you back to medieval times, when England under the reign of Bad King John. It asks why Magna Carta was originally created and what it meant to those living in the 13th century.

Higher Education

     Out of more than three million students who graduate from high school each year, about one million go on for higher edu­cation. A college at a leading university might receive applica­tions from two percent of these high school graduates, and then accept only one out of every ten who apply. Successful applicants at such colleges are usually chosen on the basis of a) their high school records; b) recommendations from their

      The system of higher education in the United States com­prises three categories Of institutions: 1) the university, which may contain a) several colleges for undergraduate students seeking a bachelor's (four-year) degree and b) one or more graduate schools for those continuing in specialized studies beyond the bachelor's degree to obtain a master's or a doctoral degree, 2) the technical training institutions at which high school graduates may take courses ranging from six months to four years in duration and learn a wide variety of technical skills, from hair styling through business accounting to com­puter programming; and 3) the two-year, or community col­lege, from which students may enter many professions or may transfer to four-year colleges.

     Any of these institutions, in any category, might be either public or private, depending on the source of its funding. Some universities and colleges have, over time, gained reputa­tions for offering particularly challenging courses and for pro­viding their students with a higher quality of education. The factors determining whether an institution is one of the best or one of the lower prestige are quality of the teaching faculty; quality of research, facilities; amount of funding available for libraries, special programs, etc.; and the competence and num­ber of applicants for admission, i. e. how selective the institu­tion can be in choosing its students.

      The most selective are the old private north-eastern univer­sities, commonly known as the Ivy League, include Harvard Radcliffe, (Cambridge, Mass., in the urban area of Boston), Yale University (New Haven, Conn. between Boston and New York), Columbia College (New York), Princeton University (New Jersey), Brown University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, University of Pennsylvania. With their traditions and long established reputations they occupy a position in Ameri­can university life rather like Oxford and Cambridge in Eng­land, particularly Harvard and Yale. The Ivy League Universi­ties are famous for their graduate schools, which have become intellectual elite centers.

      In defence of using the examinations as criteria for admis­sion, administrators say that the SATs provide a fair way for deciding whom to admit when they have ten or twelve appli­cants for every first-year student seat.

      In addition, to learning about a college/university's entrance requirements and the fees, Americans must also know the fol­lowing:

      Professional degrees such as a Bachelor of Law (LL.A.) or a Bachelor of Divinity (B.D.) take additional three years of study and require first a B.A. or B.S. to be earned by a student.

     Graduate schools in America award Master's and Doctor's degrees in both the arts and sciences. Tuition for these programs is high. The courses for most graduate degrees can be completed in two or four years. A thesis is required for a Master's degree; a Doctor's degree requires a minimum of two years of course work beyond the Master's degree level, success in a qualifying examination, proficiency in one or two foreign languages and/or in a research tool (such as statistics) and completion of a doctoral dissertation.

     The number of credits awarded for each course relates to the number of hours of work involved. At the undergraduate level a student generally takes about five three-hour-a week courses every semester. (Semesters usually run from September to early January and late January to late May.) Credits are earned by attending lectures (or lab classes) and by successful­ly completing assignments and examinations. One credit usual­ly equals one hour of class per week in a single course. A three-credit course in Linguistics, for example, could involve one hour of lectures plus two hours of seminars every week. Most students complete 10 courses per an academic year and it usually takes them four years to complete a bachelor's degree requirement of about 40 three-hour courses or 120 credits.

      In the American higher education system credits for the academic work are transferable among universities. A student can accumulate credits at one university, transfer them to a second and ultimately receive a degree from there or a third university.
