Callan Book 5 II [Stage 11] -...

WPROWADZENIE

Książka piąta Metody Callana zapoznaje studenta z dalszymi 1326 wyrazami (włączając 621 słów z „Dodatkowego Słownictwa" podanych na końcu książki), co w całości stanowi 4 289 słów, plus 294 wyrażenia czasownikowe.

Wyrażenia czasownikowe

Wyrażenie czasownikowe jest zwrotem składającym się z czasownika i jednego lub więcej słów dodatkowych, które funkcjonują jak czasowniki, np. „break down", „catch up", „go off, itd. Trudność z wyrażeniami czasownikowymi wynika z tego, że często ich powiązanie logiczne z czasownikiem zawartym w wyrażeniu lub z innymi wyrażeniami zawierającymi ten sam czasownik, jest bardzo niewielkie. Na przykład, „to bring in" znaczy przedstawiać, gdy „to bring up" znaczy wychowywać (np.dzieci).

W celu uniknięcia kłopotów, student nie powinien próbować odgadywać ich sensu, musi zaakceptować je takimi jakie one są. Powinien, jeśli to możliwe, nauczyć się każdego wyrażenia z osobna i nie usiłować odnosić czasownika zawartego w wyrażeniu do jego normalnego znaczenia lub próbować łączyć znaczenie jednego wyrażenia z innym zawierającym ten sam czasownik, np. nie powinien doszukiwać się podobieństwa pomiędzy „bring in" i czasownikiem „to bring" albo wyrażeniem czasownikowym „bring up". Jeżeli będzie on robił takie porównania może być bardzo zdezorientowany i niezadowolony, szczególnie w przypadku takich czasowników jak „to get", który wchodzi w skład około 40 wyrażeń czasownikowych.

Wyrażenia przyimkowe

W uzupełnieniu słownictwa i wyrażeń czasownikowych, książka zawiera także 64 wyrażenia przyimkowe, takie jak „at first", „by chance", „in common", itd. Wyrażenia te oparte są prawie w całości na pięciu przyimkach „at", „by", „in", „on" i „out of. Podobnie jak z wyrażeniami czasownikowymi, student nie powinien zbyt dokładnie ich rozważać, trzeba je również zaakceptować takimi jakie są.

Jak prowadzone są lekcje

Podstawowe zasady Metody dotyczą materiału całej książki: to znaczy, nauczyciel zadaje pytanie w szybkim tempie i od razu je powtarza, zaczyna odpowiedź, którą student powinien skończyć, nie pozwalając mu jej przedłużać, ponagla studenta jednocześnie mu pomagając. Jedyną różnicą jest to, że student nie musi odpowiadać według ustalonego wzoru. Znaczna część pytań zachęca go do wyrażania swoich poglądów. Musi on jednak robić to szybko i bez wahania. W przeciwnym wypadku będzie on zwalniał tempo lekcji i powodował znudzenie reszty studentów w klasie.

Przyczyną odstąpienia od obowiązku odpowiadania w ściśle określony sposób jest chęć umożliwienia studentom praktyki w rozmowie, niezbędnej do udziału w egzaminach Cambridge

Poza pracą z pytaniami i odpowiedziami, student poszerza swoje słownictwo poprzez przykładowe zdania (czytane przez nauczyciela) oraz poprzez bezpośrednie tłumaczenie. W trakcie powtórki nauczyciel po prostu pyta o znaczenie poszczególnych słów. W tym punkcie studiów student powinien chwytać słownictwo bardzo szybko, bez potrzeby uczenia się każdego słowa poprzez technikę pytań i odpowiedzi. W dalszym ciągu, oczywiście, musi on powtarzać wszystko dwa razy, niezależnie od tego jak dobrą ma pamięć. Dzieje się tak dlatego, że słowa w języku mówionym muszą przychodzić na myśl z dużą prędkością, nie wystarczy jedynie je zapamiętać. Na przykład, w poniedziałek nauczyciel może zapoznać studentów ze znaczeniem (i tłumaczeniem) słowa „affection" i połączyć to z przykładowym zdaniem „It was clear that the two friends felt a great deal of affection for each other". We wtorek i środę, student będzie czytał zdania zawierające to słowo, a później jeszcze będzie pisał dyktando zawierające słowo „affection".

„Słownictwo do tłumaczeń" zawiera proste, nieskomplikowane wyrazy o jasnym, niedwuznacznym znaczeniu. W trakcie powtórki na każdej lekcji, nauczyciel powinien pytać studentów o znaczenie tych wyrazów.

Dodatkowe pytania

Niektórzy nauczyciele mogą uważać, że powinni przygotować dodatkowe pytania z tymi wyrazami z książki, z którymi student zetknął się jedynie w przykładowych zdaniach oraz w spisie słówek. Student musiałby się okazać bardzo powolnym, aby to stwierdzenie było słuszne. Na początkowym etapie studiów niezbędnym jest uczenie się nowych słów poprzez używanie ich w pytaniach, ale na tym etapie, bezpośrednia powtórka powinna wystarczyć. Zadawanie pytań mogłoby jedynie spowolnić znacząco proces nauki.

„Zadaj pytanie"

Rozpoczynając lekcję nauczyciel może, zamiast polecać studentom układanie dowolnych pytań, dać każdemu studentowi wyrażenie czasownikowe lub przyimkowe, z którym student powinien utworzyć pytanie. Bezpośrednio po wejściu do klasy nauczyciel podaje wyrażenie i zaczyna rundę pytań. Jeśli student nie może wymyśleć pytania natychmiast, nauczyciel przechodzi nie czekając do następnej osoby, a na końcu może powrócić do tego, który pytania nie zadał, mając jednak na uwadze aby runda nie trwała zbyt długo. Ta sama procedura może być zastosowana na końcu lekcji. Lista wyrażeń czasownikowych i przyimkowych do tego celu umieszczona jest na końcu książki dla nauczycieli.

Charakter słownictwa

Z ogólnej liczby 1326 słów zawartych w tej książce, około 650 jest pochodzenia łacińskiego, co powoduje, że są one łatwo rozumiane i zapamiętywane przez studentów, którzy mówią lub znają język pozostający pod silnym wpływem łaciny; są to słowa takie jak „cancel", „major", „identify", „enormous", „create", „occupation" i „elementary". Pewną część stanowią też słowa pochodzące z greckiego, jak „harmony" i „politics", z francuskiego, jak „technique" i „perfume", które są zazwyczaj wspólne dla wszystkich języków łacińskich. Angielski jest językiem germańskim, który wchłonął tysiące słów z łaciny, greckiego i francuskiego, a także dużo słów z ponad setki innych języków. To daje mu całkiem międzynarodowy charakter.

W słownictwie tej książki zawarta jest spora ilość wyrazów, które mogą być nazwane międzynarodowymi. Są to słowa wchłonięte przez dużą liczbę języków na świecie. Niektóre z nich są pochodzenia innego niż angielskie, np. „cassete", „oxygen", „cigar", „cafe" i „ballet"; inne są pochodzenia angielskiego, jak „radar", Jockey", „golf, „pop", „self-service", „sandwich", „scout" i „motel". Oblicza się, że języki niektórych krajów zaabsorbowały około 6000 lub więcej słów angielskich -takich, jak „manager", „designer", „speaker", „fast-forward", „play-back", „fast-food", "jumbo jet" i "jet set".

Dodatkowo liczba" 1326 słów zawiera około 500 wyrazów, które utworzone są ze słów wcześniej poznanych, takich jak „bathroom", „hairbrush" i „ear-ring", albo utworzonych ze słów podstawowych, które student też już poznał, takie jak „hopeful", „doubtless" lub „uncertain".

Biorąc to wszystko pod uwagę, można wnioskować, że słownictwo tej książki nie będzie sprawiać studentowi kłopotów. Powinien on opanować materiał całkiem szybko.

Egzaminy Cambridge

Niektórzy studenci Metody Callana zdali egzaminy Cambridge bez studiowania Książki Piątej. Bezpośrednio po ukończeniu Książki Czwartej zaczęli oni pracę nad materiałami egzaminacyjnymi z ubiegłych lat. Jeden czy dwóch studentów zdało nawet egzamin First Certificate bez przerabiania Książki Czwartej. Tacy studenci jednak należą do wyjątków. Mają oni zazwyczaj bardzo analityczny umysł i mogą rozumieć wyrazy, których nigdy wcześniej nie widzieli w oparciu o ogólny sens zdania, w którym one się znajdują. Są oni w stanie manipulować i rozciągać swoją znajomość języka angielskiego sprawiając wrażenie, że wiedzą znacznie więcej, niż na prawdę umieją, potrafią także pisać krótkie, poprawne zdania. Inaczej mówiąc, wiedza którą posiadają jest wyjątkowo dobrze przyswojona i może być wykorzystywana w pełni i prawidłowo.

Przeciętny student, jednakże, musi przerobić Książkę Piątą, szczególnie wówczas gdy zależy mu na dobrej ocenie z egzaminu.

Oczywiście, jest to zadaniem nauczyciela, aby zadecydować, który ze studentów może próbować zdawać egzamin First Certificate. Większość z nich może być zgłoszona do egzaminu w czasie gdy zaczynają oni Książkę Piątą, wówczas, w czasie od zgłoszenia do terminu egzaminu, mogą pracować nad Książką Piątą poszerzając swoje słownictwo i pod koniec tego okresu doskonalić swoją technikę zdawania omawiając materiały egzaminacyjne z lat poprzednich.

Pisanie wypracowań

Student powinien pisać wypracowania domowe już od momentu zgłoszenia jego nazwiska do egzaminu First Certificate. Jak wiele ich napisze zależeć będzie od tego co na ten temat uważa nauczyciel - ale zwykle jest to od 10 do 20 wypracowań. Lista tematów do wypracowań będzie podana później.

W celu wzmocnienia siły wyrazu i poprawy stylu pisania student powinien czytać, jak największą ilość gazet, czasopism i książek w języku angielskim. Poprzez stałe czytanie zdobędzie lepsze wyczucie języka, które pozwoli mu instynktownie pisać poprawnie.

W celu poszerzenia słownika w czasie czytania, student powinien sprawdzać znaczenie każdego nowego słówka w słowniku i zapisywać go w zeszycie razem z tłumaczeniem. Następnego dnia powinien spróbować przypomnieć sobie znaczenie słowa przed zaglądnięciem do zeszytu z tłumaczeniem. Tę procedurę powinien powtórzyć w kolejnym dniu. Jeśli nie będzie trzymał się tego systemu, po kilku tygodniach może zapomnieć znaczenie nowo poznanego słowa co oznacza, że zmarnował swój czas szukając go po raz pierwszy w słowniku.

Etap 12. Materiały egzaminacyjne z lat poprzednich

Po zakończeniu Książki Piątej, nauczyciel powinien zrobić całkowitą powtórkę wszystkich pięciu książek w celu wyjaśnienia punktów stale jeszcze niejasnych i uzupełnienia braków w pamięci studenta. Jaki czas będzie należało poświęcić powtórce, zależy od tego jak dobrze student zapamiętał materiał.

Po zakończeniu powtórki, student przejdzie do ostatniego Etapu Metody, do Etapu 12. Składa się on w całości jedynie z pracy nad materiałami z egzaminów Cambridge First Certificate, które odbyły się w przeszłości. Materiały te są publikowane przez Cambridge University Press pod tytułem „Examination Practice Tests" (Testy Egzaminacyjne). Testy egzaminacyjne mają za zadanie zapoznać studenta z techniką zdawania egzaminów a nie nauczyć języka angielskiego, wystarczy więc przerobić 4 do 8 testów.

Jeżeli byłaby niezbędna dalsza praktyka egzaminacyjna, student może zrobić dalsze Testy Egzaminacyjne w domu. W tym celu może on kupić książkę dla nauczyciela, która zawiera takie materiały wraz z odpowiedziami. Tym sposobem wartościowy czas lekcyjny nie zostanie zmarnowany.

Bezpośrednio przed egzaminem, nauczyciel powinien przeprowadzić egzamin próbny z zachowaniem wszystkich reguł egzaminacyjnych, tak aby studenci wiedzieli dokładnie czego się spodziewać. Ten egzamin próbny nosi w języku angielskim nazwę „Mock Exam". Dla celów tego egzaminu nauczyciel powinien użyć najświeższych materiałów egzaminacyjnych, które jeszcze nie zostały opublikowane w książce. Takie materiały zazwyczaj można kupić w księgarni lub bezpośrednio w Cambridge University Local Examonation Syndicate (Lokalna Komisja Egzaminacyjna).

W przypadku, kiedy studenci planują zdawać inny egzamin mniej więcej na poziomie egzaminu Cambridge First Certificate, powinni oni omówić przykładowe materiały z poprzednich lat z tego właśnie egzaminu. Wymagany poziom znajomości języka angielskiego zawsze będzie ten sam, jedynie sposób sprawdzania wiedzy może się różnić.

TEMATY WYPRACOWAŃ

PRACOWITY TAKTYKA ELASTYCZNOŚĆ INCYDENT

Egzamin Cambridge First Certificate trwa zazwyczaj 1,5 godziny, student ma możliwość wybrania dwóch spośród czterech tematów i musi napisać dwa wypracowania o objętości od 120 do 180 słów każde. Zamieszczone dalej 28 tematów daje duży wybór do pisania wypracowań. Kiedy student rozpoczyna pracę nad materiałami egzaminacyjnymi z lat poprzednich, może również wybrać tematy z tych materiałów. Musi on jednak uważać, żeby nie przekroczyć ustalonego limitu od 120 do 180 słów.

W czasie przygotowywania wypracowań domowych student powinien pisać bez skrępowania i obaw. Zazwyczaj pierwsza myśl jest najlepsza, najbardziej poprawna, kiedy student zacznie zbyt dużo rozważać nad poprawnością zdania, często zmienia je na niekorzyść. Osiągnąwszy poziom Książki Piątej Metody Callana, student powinien dysponować już rozwiniętym instynktem, który podpowie mu co jest poprawne a co nie. Może on nie wiedzieć dlaczego coś jest poprawne a dlaczego nie, ale powinien już czuć to. Dzięki pisaniu wypracowań, student przekona się czy w istocie dysponuje już rozwiniętym instynktem w tej kwestii.

Jak już wspominaliśmy, student ma 1,5 godziny na napisanie wypracowań, np. po 45 minut na jedno wypracowanie. W przypadku pracy domowej, powinien on starać się pisać wypracowania w jak najkrótszym czasie. Napisanie szybko dwóch

wypracowań w ciągu 45 minut, jest lepszym ćwiczeniem, niż napisanie jednego bardzo dopracowanego tekstu. W czasie egzaminu, jednak należy wykorzystać cały czas, jeśli jest to niezbędne.

Postępując zgodnie z podobną taktyką, nauczyciel powinien jedynie poprawić prace studentów bez dawania szczegółowych objaśnień błędów. Nie powinien on również omawiać wypracowań w klasie. Taka procedura jest stratą czasu, ponieważ niektórzy studenci robią takie błędy, jakich inni nigdy by nie zrobili. W czasie dyskutowania takich błędów reszta klasy nudzi się. Ten czas może być wykorzystany znacznie lepiej robiąc dodatkową powtórkę materiału z książek Metody. Student powinien po prostu zaakceptować poprawkę nauczyciela i starać się w przyszłości nie powtórzyć już tego błędu. Jeżeli popełnia on ten sam lub podobny błąd wielokrotnie, wówczas oczywiście powinien poprosić nauczyciela o wyjaśnienie, ale najlepiej po lekcji.

Powolna i szczegółowa praca nie jest oczywiście złą taktyką w przypadku przedmiotów akademickich, ale nauka języka do poziomu egzaminu Cambridge First Certificate nie jest przedmiotem akademickim; jest raczej przedmiotem zręcznościowym. Wymaga prędkości i elastyczności.
