Сборник дидактических материалов, направленных на патриотическое воспитание средствами иностранного языка

Автор: Вагайцева Екатерина Владимировна

Организация: МКОУ-ОСОШ №1

Населенный пункт: рабочий поселок Ордынское

Будущее нашей страны во многом зависит от молодежи с правильно сформированной гражданско-патриотической позицией, поэтому в настоящее время этому направлению уделяют особое внимание. Необходимо отметить, что учебный предмет «Английский язык» имеет хорошие возможности для формирования гражданственности и патриотизма ввиду своей коммуникативной направленности. Иностранные языки являются средством общения и самореализации и социальной адаптации, развития умений поиска, обработки и использования информации в познавательных целях, одним из средств воспитания гражданина, патриота, развития национального самосознания.

В федеральной рабочей программе по иностранному языку на каждом уровне мы можем увидеть темы, посвященные выдающимся людям родной страны и стран изучаемого языка. Поэтому возникла идея создать комплект текстов и заданий к ним, которые как раз помогли бы раскрыть содержание указанных тем. В нашей стране очень много выдающихся людей во всех сферах человеческой деятельности, но было решено остановиться именно на выдающихся людях нашей малой Родины – людях Ордынского района. В нашем районе существует 25 школьных образовательных организаций, из них 8 школ носят имена людей, которые внесли свой уникальный вклад в историю всей страны и в историю нашего района. Поэтому в представленном комплекте вы увидите 8 текстов с заданиями к ним, каждый из которых посвящен отдельной персоне.

Тексты предназначены для учащихся 8-9 классов, объем текстов составляет от 320 до 520 слов. Задания, которые предлагаются после прочтения текстов, схожи по своей структуре, меняется лишь содержательная наполняемость. Таким образом, можно их объединить следующими целями:

Личностные	Формирование патриотизма, любви к Отечеству и уважения к своему народу, чувства ответственности и долга перед Родиной, гордости за свой край.
Предметные	читать про себя и понимать несложные аутентичные тексты, содержащие отдельные неизученные языковые явления, с различной глубиной проникновения в их содержание в зависимости от поставленной коммуникативной задачи: с пониманием основного содержания, с пониманием нужной (интересующей, запрашиваемой) информации
Метапредметные	Базовые логические действия с учётом предложенной задачи выявлять закономерности и противоречия в рассматриваемых фактах выявлять дефицит информации, данных, необходимых для решения поставленной задачи Базовые исследовательские действия: использовать вопросы как исследовательский инструмент познания; Работа с информацией: выбирать, анализировать, систематизировать и интерпретировать информацию

 

Необходимо отметить, что в Ордынском районе существует детская телевизионная студия «Классики», которая в 2020 году сняла серию коротких информационных видеороликов о героях Ордынцах. Среди снятого материала есть и те, которым посвящены вышеупомянутые тесты, поэтому особо мотивированным ученикам можно предложить дальнейшую творческую работу с этим материалом, а именно написать субтитры к этим видеороликам или же озвучить их на английском языке.

Nekrasov Nikolay Vasilyevich was born on December 23, 1915, in the village of Verkh-Aleus in Ordynsk district of Novosibirsk Region in a peasant family.

He was drafted into the Red Army on July 1, 1941, shortly after the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. In the same year he graduated from the Novosibirsk Military-Political College. In March 1943, he completed advanced training courses in Novosibirsk, and was transferred to serve as a battalion commander. He participated in the Battle of Kursk and the Belgorod-Kharkov offensive operation.

 

The battalion commander, Captain N. V. Nekrasov, performed an outstanding feat during the Battle of the Dnieper. On the night of October 1, 1943, his battalion was the first in the division to cross the Dnieper River near the village of Chikalovka in Kremenchug district of Poltava region in the Ukrainian SSR. The crossing took place under hard enemy fire, and the battalion suffered significant losses. On the right bank, they had to fight right on the coastal sand. By the morning, the entire battalion was on the right bank, but the situation was threatening: from the overhanging heights of the captured patch of shore, the enemy shot through all the battalion's positions and the crossing. A small force of Soviet soldiers with an extremely limited amount of ammunition would hardly have been able to hold out there until the evening.

 

Then Battalion Commander Nekrasov decided to attack himself. Having chosen the largest hill as the target of the attack, he correctly distributed his small forces, set a combat task for the units and, at the signal of the attack, was the first to rise from the trench. A daring swift attack stunned the enemy and the height was captured. Thus, despite heavy losses, the battalion successfully maintained a circular defense, ensuring the crossing of the main forces.

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated May 17, 1944, Nikolai Vasilyevich Nekrasov was awarded the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union with the award of the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal for his courage and heroism shown at the front in the struggle against the Nazi invaders.

Later in May 1944, he became seriously ill and was evacuated to a hospital. After recovering, he was sent for the further service in the troops of the Siberian Military District.

 

After his discharge from the army in 1958, he became a military commissar in Kirovsky district of Novosibirsk. And since 1961 he worked as the chairman of the Novosibirsk Regional Council of DOSAAF. In this position, N. V. Nekrasov did a lot for the development of sports in Novosibirsk, especially speedway and motorsport. Novosibirsk speedway school became one of the largest in the USSR. On his initiative, a large motorcycle track was built in Novosibirsk.

The name of Nikolai Vasilyevich Nekrasov is immortalized on the Alley of Heroes at the Monument of Glory in Novosibirsk. There is a bust of him in Ordynsk Memorial Park of the Heroes. Moreover, a secondary school in Verkh-Aleus in Ordysk district of Novosibirsk region was named after him.
