Подкасты могут заметно обогатить занятие по языку, т.к. они в большинстве своем представляют аутентичный материал, а когда учащимся дается возможность оказываться в аутентичной ситуации, процесс изучения иностранного языка становится особенно увлекательным, мотивированным и эффективным. Ещё один фактор, способствующий успешности обучения- это автономная среда .  При применении подкастов легче осуществлять индивидуальный подход при обучении. Система подкастинга является ещё и многофункциональной, с ее помощью при обучении иностранным языкам можно развивать несколько видов речевой деятельности: наряду с классическим аудированием актуальным является совершенствование навыков устной и письменной речи, кроме того подкасты дают знания о многообразии самого языка и культуры изучаемого языка в удобной для слушающего обстановке.

Лично для меня участие в мастер-классе также явилось эффективным занятием. Во-первых, я повысила свой уровень ИКТ-компетентности. Во-вторых, я усовершенствовала свою работу по подготовке к ЕГЭ, связь с учащимися стала теснее. Всё это способствует интерактивности процесса обучения. Для меня занятия были очень полезны  эффективны, произошло некое своевременное приспособление к инновационным технологиям.

@ Возможная ошибка

Возможен выбор не­правильного ответа А, так как в нем тоже идет речь о возрасте. Следу­ет обратить внимание на то, что в правильном варианте речь идет о возрасте участников праздника, а не героя фильма. Не исключен выбор неправильно­го ответа G, так как в нем и в тексте есть одинаковые слова for­eign guests и participate. Главной темой аудио-текста является возраст участников праздника, а не участие зарубеж­ных гостей

October is the month of pumpkins in North America. The tourist season is over, so there aren't many foreign guests in the country. The Pumpkin Festival is just about the most popular celebration here among children and adults alike. You and your friends, no matter how old you are, can participate in the festival, famous for its crazy pumpkin events from pumpkin carving to a pumpkin pie eating contest. So choose your favourite jack-o'-lantern and enjoy the magnificent fireworks in the evening. Whether you are six, sixteen or sixty, you are sure to have fun.

Выделенные жирным шрифтом слова указывают на то, что Тыквен­ный фестиваль в Северной Америке пользуется популярностью как у детей, так и у взрослых (among children and adults alike). Эта мысль повторяется в приглашении принять участие в фестивале независимо от вашего возраста (no matter how old you are). Идея о празднике для всех возрастов (whether you are six, sixteen or sixty) звучит и в последнем предложении.

Правильный ответ — В, так как выделенные ключевые слова передают суть утверждения an event enjoyed both by kids and grown ups.

@ Возможная ошибка

Возможен выбор  не­правильного вариан­та С вследствие опоры на словосочетание Two Towers без учета контек­ста его употребления. Этот термин ассоции­руется с печальными событиями в Америке, но в данном случае он является частью назва­ния фильма из серии „Властелин колец".

This is one of my favourite sites. It is called Four Word Film Review. It is unusual because you won't see lengthy reviews there. In order to put your own review on this site you have to register, but if you simply want to visit the site and see what others have done, feel free. The idea is that you give your opinion of a recent film in just four words, whether you hated it or loved it. To give you an idea, here is an example. This is what one person wrote about Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers: "magic works second time". A few words can mean so much!

Первые два предложения содержат основную информацию: во-первых, речь идет о сайте и, во-вторых, рецензия на фильм со­стоит из четырех слов (four word film review). Подтверждением основной мысли является высказывание о том, что вы не увидите длинных рецензий на этом сайте (won't see lengthy reviews). В последнем предложении вновь акцентируется мысль о малом количестве слов (few words) в рецензии.

Правильный ответ — F, так как выделенные ключевые слова передают суть утверждения a website where you have to be brief expressing your opinion.

How do you celebrate the end of the school year? A few years ago, school leavers had a small disco at their school. Not any more. Films like High School Musical have brought a new craze from the USA to Britain — the school prom which is an official dance at the end of the school year. The prom is now such an important event that many school student committees spend up to one year planning it. The venues are expensive and impressive — many are held in 5-star hotels — not in the school hall. One school even held their prom at Manchester United's football ground. Then there's the DJ, the flowers and decorations, and some proms even have a red carpet.

A lot of pupils also spend months planning their outfits for the big night. "I ordered my prom dress at Christmas time and it arrived in May," says Jess Stubs. And the ma­jority of pupils like to arrive in style too. Many students arrive in limos and even horse carriages. "I ordered my limo in March, and I had trouble getting one," says Jess. "Most of them are already booked!"

It doesn't end there. When the big day arrives, everybody gets dressed up. "I got up at 9 o'clock to get my nails done," explains Lucy Warne. "I had a fake tan done the day before and I got my hair done in the afternoon. You have to look perfect." Kate Sawyer, a teacher, loves seeing the students dressed up. "Outside school you are used to seeing them in their hoodies and jeans. Everyone wants to dress up and look wonderful once in their life," she says.

So, is it worth all the effort? "It was an amazing night," said Scott Preston. "We walked down a red carpet into the hall. There was a great DJ. The Prom King and Queen were chosen and they were crowned in a big ceremony. Everyone had their photo taken. It was brilliant."

This is what Lauren says about her prom. "My dress was from the first shop I went to — TK Maxx. I liked the colour and the style, it wasn't too 'princessy', and I was con­fident no one else would have it. I had my hair done at my house by my hairdresser. My hair took an hour to curl. As well as diamonds, I also had extensions in my hair. The girls and boys went to the prom in different cars. The boys had a blue convertible but we had a limo. The girls were complimenting each other. The boys scrubbed up well — it was nice to see them 'suited and booted'. The prom venue was Stockbrook Manor. We all felt very posh. It was a fabulous night and I loved dressing up and spending the night with my whole school year!"

Interviewer:   Hi Jane! Can you tell our readers why you love living in Cape Town ?

Jane: Yes! Well, this June thousands of football fans came to our city to watch the World Cup. But there's more to the country than football. There are always fun things to do, day and night, especially if you are young. There are malls and coffee shops where you can just relax with your friends. We also have go-karting, ice-skating and dune-bashing.

Interviewer:   What is dune-bashing? Can you tell me more about it?

Jane:   Dune-bashing is riding three-wheel bikes through the sand dunes on the beaches.

Interviewer:  What is the one thing I should see?

Jane:   You should really go and see Table Mountain. You can see the city from up there. Take the cable car if you are not scared of heights. You will see a really cute animal that lives there — the dassie.

Interviewer:   What kind of animal is it?

Jane:  Actually it is quite small and looks like a large mouse. But although it just resembles a mouse they say that in origin it is closer to an elephant!

Interviewer:   What other animals live in Cape Town?

Jane: If you are in the heart of the city, you don't have to worry about any of the animals, maybe, just stray dogs and cats. In the countryside you have to be careful — there are lions and leopards!

Interviewer:   Is it true there is a lot of crime? Is Cape Town safe? Jane:   Like in any big city, I wouldn't suggest walking around late at night but don't let that stop you from coming here. Interviewer:   Is it really hot? Shall I bring all my summer clothes if I come in July?

Jane:   No! In July it's winter here so I suggest you pack your winter clothes — but our winter isn't as cold as a winter in Europe, so a jacket or jumper will keep you warm on a mild winter's day.

After Flight 93, this is the second movie about the attack on the World Trade Center to commemorate that tragic day. Based on the search-and-rescue operation carried out in New York's World Trade Center, it follows two police officers. These two police officers were the last to leave the Towers alive. Director Oliver Stone gathered a fantastic cast to tell this story of courage and heroism. People should remember what happened on September 11 when many people met their deaths not at war but in their workplace..

Enter a unique world of mystical creatures and magic. Filmed in Hungary with a cast including John Malkovich and Joss Stone, Eragon is a story about a teenage boy, whose life changes when he finds a dragon egg. The tender age of the main character doesn't prevent him from being smart and brave in a very adult way. The movie is an adaptation of the fantasy novel by Christopher Paolini, who wrote the book when he was 15 years old. That explains why the character of a young boy is so real.
