Рифмовки и физминутки на уроках английского языка.
________________________________________
Как известно, урок является основной формой организации обучения в школе. Характерная для современного урока информационная перегрузка учащихся, его высокая интенсивность, чрезмерное нервно-эмоциональное напряжение, недостаточная двигательная активность школьников – все это ведет к потере здоровья детей. Очень многое делается для решения этой проблемы. Валеологизация системы образования предполагает, что каждый урок, каждое школьное мероприятие должно содержать в себе оздоровительный эффект, препятствовать развитию переутомления, не ухудшать здоровье, а способствовать его развитию. Важным способом поддержания общей учебной работоспособности организма учащихся является проведение на каждом уроке физкультминуток, связанных с усилением двигательной активности учащихся, с борьбой против гиподинамии, со снятием утомления с различных групп мышц и активизации познавательной способностей детей.
На уроках английского языка на начальном этапе данная задача легко решается с помощью песен и рифмовок. На их основе проводится профилактика нарушений осанки и зрения, активизируются внимание, память, умственная работоспособность, снимается умственное и физическое напряжение. Кроме того, развивается речь, обогащается словарный запас, отрабатывается произношение, а самое главное, поддерживается интерес детей к изучению английского языка. Учащиеся с самого начала приобщаются к культуре страны изучаемого языка. Многочисленные повторы, характерные для песенного жанра, способствуют легкому и непроизвольному запоминанию лексико-грамматических конструкций. Прочному запоминанию также способствует комплекс таких факторов, как рифма, лад, тональность, мелодия.
Уже несколько лет на своих уроках я провожу такие песенные физкультминутки и вижу интерес к ним у детей (все слова песен сопровождаются соответствующими действиями).
