system of modern education owing to the social, informative and developing
functions. Teaching a foreign language is connected with the development both thinking
and emotions and other spheres of a person. Importance and necessity of
including of motivational and emotional spheres of a person of a pupil is
underlined in the methodical literature of last years on teaching foreign
languages. Mastering of the language in artificial conditions, that is out of
the surroundings where it is spoken, demands creation of the imagined
situations, being able to stimulate a communication in the language. Learnt is
also connected with the development of immigration. Process of studying a
foreign language promotes the formation of creative independence as there is a
possibility of using creative tasks and exercises within the limits of the
given subject which demands independent work from pupils. They are taught to
use a language material for expression of their thoughts in a dialogical and
monologue speech.
Teaching English can and should provide the achievement of
practical, educational and developing aims. Besides, the practical purpose the
leading. The other purposes are reached in the course of mastering English in
the conditions of pupils’ active informative of power of apprehension and
activity. Pedagogics, guiding and synthesizing these aspects, defines vision of

We shall deal with the studying of methods and ways of development of skills of
independent creative activity in the course of teaching a foreign language
which also promotes the formation and development of intellectual abilities
among pupils that will raise the efficiency of teaching and educational
process.
It

Teaching of independent activity at foreign language
lessons
The aspiration to carry out the tasks
demanding display great intellect, imagination, desire to get knowledge, dream,
- here are necessary conditions of occurrence of a great interest in subjects. Independent
work is considered to be the specific form of the school pupils’ educational
activity characterizing by all its features. As a matter of fact, it is the
form of self-education connected with educational activity of the pupil in a
class. The concept of independent pupil’s work of modern didactics is sure to
correspond with the organizing a teacher’s role.
Learning a
foreign language at home and somewhere else out of class, assumes as a basis of
consideration of independent pupils’ activity. At the English lessons pupils
analyze the selected problem, defend their position. Methodical advantages of
song creativity in teaching a foreign language are obvious. It promotes
aesthetic and moral education of schoolchildren, opens creative abilities of
each pupil more fully. Thanks to musical singing at a lesson the favorable
psychological climate is created, the weariness decreases, language activity is
stirred up. In many cases’ it serves also as a discharge reducing pressure and
restore pupils’ working capacity. Recently the method of projects gets more and
more supporters. It is directed to develop child’s active independent thinking
and to teach him to remember and reproduce knowledge which are given to him by
school, and to be able to put them into practice. The design technique at work
differs by a co-operative character on the project. Activity carried out is
creative in its essence and focused on the person of the pupil. It assumes a high
level of individual and collective responsibility for performance of each task
on project working out. Teamwork of the group of pupils over the project is
inseparable from active communicative interaction of pupils.
The
design technique is one of forms of the organization of research informative
activity in which pupils take an active subjective position. Theme of the
project can be connected with one subject sphere or have a under disciplined
character. At selection of a theme of the project the teacher should be guided
by interests and requirements of pupils, their possibilities and the personal
importance of the forthcoming work, the practical importance of the result of
work on the project. The executed
project can be presented in the most different forms: an article,
recommendations, an album, a collage and many other things. Forms of
presentation of the project are also various: a report, a conference, a
competition, a holiday, a performance. The main result of work on the project
will be actualization of available and getting new knowledge, skills and
abilities and their creative application in new conditions. Work on the project
is carried out in some stages and usually is beyond educational activity at
lessons: a choice of a theme or a project problem; formation of group of
executors; working out of the plan of work on the project, definition of terms;
distribution of tasks among pupils; fulfillment of the tasks, discussion the
results of fulfillment of each task in a group; registration of joint result;
the report under the project; an estimation of performance of the project.
Work
by a design technique demands from pupils a high degree of independence of
search activity, coordination of their actions, active research, performing and
communicative interaction. The role of the teacher consists in preparation of
pupils for work on the project, choice of a theme, in rendering assistance by
the pupil at scheduling, in the current control and consultation of pupils on a
course of performance of the project with function of participator.
So,
the basic idea of a method of projects consists in transferring accent from a
various kind of exercises on active cogitative activity of pupils during joint
creative work. The specified forms of work are comprehensible in all classes.
It is natural that its volume and character of management of it on the part of
the teachers differ.
In the
methods it is accepted to allocate following levels of independent work:
- Reproducing (copying);
- The semi creative;
- The creative.
Reproducing level of independent work is very
important at learning a foreign language as it underlies its other levels, and
it is responsible for formation of pronouncing -lexical and grammatical base,
for creation of samples in the pupil’s memory.
