1.     Національно-патріотичне виховання на уроках англійської мови.( Волошин В.А., Галата Л.В.)

Nowadays the aim of teaching English language is the formation of young personalities who see themselves not only as representatives of one culture but as citizens of the world who understand their importance and responsibility in global processes which are taking place in Ukraine these days. That’s why the knowledge of socio – cultural competence helps them to realize themselves on the same level with their peers all over the world. This tendency forces them to change their attitude during the process of learning English language. It develops the learners’ socio-linguistic outlook, memory and creative thinking. The success of this process equally depends on two factors: teachers’ and students’ motivation and competence. Our task, as a teacher here, is to bring forward the problem fields which can motivate a student and integrate into the world society using English language perfectly. We involve the learner into the world of foreign languages through the cultural component, new life style, comparing cultures, mentality, values, customs and traditions of English – speaking countries and their own one. It helps them to understand the language and gives an opportunity to use their knowledge in everyday life.

Today one of our main tasks is to bring up real patriots of Ukraine. The spiritual development of pupils depends on their attitude to their Motherland, its history, culture and traditions. During the process of learning students don’t only get the knowledge but they have an opportunity to use the foreign language as the mean of communication and receiving new and useful information.

Teaching English in modern school gives great possibilities to bring up true patriots. Using their knowledge about Ukraine and people, students can talk about themselves as representatives of Ukrainian culture who can make this world better. Working in teams, discussing the possible ways out to the suggested problems give them an opportunity to feel the patriots of their land.

To achieve the aim of bringing up patriotism during the lessons, we draw a parallel between Ukraine and English-speaking world. Our students have to do individual and group research to answer the questions about the way of life, life priorities, youth problems, subcultures, customs, traditions, cuisine, history, political life etc.

Language learning covers different every day topics, all potentially significant in any student’s life. The most useful methods in this process include:

·        Project work (involving practical meaning, necessity of individual research, unpredictability of  process and results of students’ interaction)

·        Creative work (organizing summer language camps aimed at the formation of the patriotic competence through the socio-cultural samples)

·        After school activities (meetings with the native speakers, different parties, quiz shows)

·        Integral lessons ( involving the combination of the  usage of all communicative skills, language intuition)

·        Debating ( developing critical thinking giving possibilities to use language with the practical aim)

·        Discussion clubs ( giving opportunities to experience different spheres of life and get some knowledge about them)

·        Role playing ( stimulating of communicative skills, increasing motivation through modeling situations of real communication)

·        Singing authentic songs ( developing socio - cultural competence, creating positive emotions and feelings)

All these methods involve a lot of research on statistics, demand creativity, acting skills for a role play etc. The participation is based on individual skills, initiative, interest and love to Ukraine.
