Abstract:

The article discusses the developing speaking skill through discussion for B1 level

learners

and its role in teaching English of the secondary learners. The article pays special attention

to the problem of worldly and scientific concepts. The author also argues for the use of modern
teaching methods such as interactive, project-based, integrative, etc. As an example, the author
presents a lesson plan, where special attention is paid to the development of speaking skill of B1 level
students. The lesson plan includes techniques and methods such as discussion, project, game, etc.
The author concludes about the project methodology, and gives examples of traditional and
innovative teaching methods.

Key words:

speaking skill,

developing learning principle, interactive, integrative, methods,

approaches

In recent years, the question of the use of new information technologies in

schools has been increasingly raised. This is not only new technical means but also

new forms and methods of teaching, a new approach to the learning process.

The concept of learning developing was formulated by Vygotsky L. S. (1991)

based on the works of outstanding scientists Zankov L. V., Rubinstein S., Leontiev A.,

and many others, the analysis of the fundamental mental function, like thinking, its

connection with speech.

Based on the teachings of famous psychologists, Vygotsky L.

S. concluded that “speech is a psychological tool that mediates thinking at its early

stage, in the process of practical activity”. The scientist expressed this idea in the

paraphrased expression of "Faust," Goethe "In the beginning was the deed", instead of

the Bible, "In the beginning was the word." So, for Vygotsky, in the beginning was the

deed (practical activity), which is mediated by the word.

In the nature of learning developing, the system of modern methods of

innovative methods, design methods, integrative and others are responsible.

At the

same time, an interactive method is gaining considerable importance.

As demonstrated by pedagogical practice – the skillful implementation of the

principle of developing the way of learning promotes to a more in-depth

comprehension of the studied grammatical topics, and the formation of students’

development creative independence.

It is known that, despite the effectiveness of the project methodology, it has not

yet taken a firm place in the practice of teaching English, and this is largely due to the

fact that teachers insufficiently assess the possibilities of an advanced method of

learning, and are often limited to methods such as drawing up a cluster, brainstorm,

KWL, etc.

The importance of the English language necessitates the search for new ways

and methods of teaching English to improve the quality of knowledge. In the field of

practice, all active methods of teaching are being introduced. The determining principle

in improving the amount of knowledge is the developing principle, which meets the

nature of modern techniques - cognitive, project, interactive, integrative, etc. One of

the important skills in developing the principle of learning and the integrative method

is speaking skills.

Below, we give as an example in the development of speaking skill through

discussion for B1 level students, a lesson on the study of the topic: "Politics and

Youth", modern, active methodological training related to the implementation of the

Procedure:

T copies

Handout 3

for each student or put it on the board for Ss to copy into a

notebook. Ask students to add two more statements of their own in the blank spaces at the bottom of

the chart before they begin. Then get everyone standing up and moving around the class to ask each

other the questions. Make sure students know they can’t write the same person for more than one

question and that the extra information is important.

Handout 3 – Find Somediv Who…

Politics – sentence completion

• This task leaves students completely free to express their own opinions. If you are working

with young learners, think carefully about whether or not your students are mature enough to be

able to do this before you offer them this task. With teenagers there is a certain element of risk

involved in a completely open ended task like this.

• To save photocopies and to make the task more challenging, dictate the sentences to your

students. Alternatively, give each student a copy of

Handout 4.

Handout 4 – sentence completion

Complete the following sentences to express your own opinion. Then compare your sentences

with a partner.

Procedure:

This is a fun task that could lead on to becoming a mini project. Put students into

groups or ‘parties’. They will have to think of a name for their new political party and to think up five

policies that they will use to try and win the election.

Handout 6 – Vote for us!

You are going to create a new political party! Think of a name for your party and think of five

things you will do if you are elected. Then try to persuade your classmates to vote for you.

When all groups have finished, give them each two minutes to try and persuade the other

groups to vote for them. Then hold a class election. If you have time to prepare it, make ballot papers

and use a shoebox so students can have a secret vote. Then count up the votes and let the winners

celebrate!

To sum up, the developing principle of learning is not limited to using only

modern methods. It is necessary to skillfully combine the traditional methodology

(inductive, deductive teaching methods; composing a sentence; adding words or

phrases; translating from English to Russian, etc.), with innovative teaching methods

(project presentations, creating interactive situations; game technology and much

more).

All this taken together will help to teach students "running ahead of their

development", developing them spiritually and morally.

Abstract

This article aims at investigating semantic change in words connected to
technological progress in English. The meanings of one word in different context were
compared. Having analyzed semantic aspect in words the following findings were
detected: 1) the most frequently implemented type of semantic change was
generalization which facilitated to the formation of new meaning because of
technological advancement. 2) New terms emerged mostly due to widespread
utilization of computer and the Internet. In order to be aware of changes occurring to
the language during the era of technologies, one should learn about new terms and
notions. It is essential not to fall behind of time.

Key words:

semantic shift, technological advancement, context, meaning, factors,

term.

Introduction

Language is not static; it changes over time. All language fields including semantics
undergoes changes. Semantic shift is the process of changing the meaning of a word.
Semantic change has been studied from different perspectives. Types of semantic shift,
factors and consequences of semantic change were investigated by many researchers.
Although a lot of examples within the surveys were introduced, there are no works
