Розвиток навичок аудіювання на уроках англійської мови в середній школі.
Аудіювання – слухання - розуміння усного мовлення. Під час навчання іноземної мови воно є как засобом, так і метою навчання. Аудіювання має першорядну роль у навчанні говоріння, адже говоріння неможливо без слухання. Систематичне слухання оригінальної мови сприяє вдосконаленню говоріння.
Матеріальною основою аудіювання є аудіотекст. Він має свою композицію, структуру і смислову організацію. В середній школі використовуються в основному два види аудіотекстів – тексти-описи і фабульні тексти.
В текстах-описах представлена сукупність ознак об’єктів і фактів, які об’єднані загальною темою. Логічні зв’язки між окремими фактами нестійкі, допускається їх перестановка. Через це в такому тексті не завжди легко виділити головне та другорядне, і розуміння тексту залежить переважно від суми зрозумілих фактів, які необхідно запам'ятати. Текст-опис складається головним чином з простих речень, іноді з однорідними членами. Варіативність синтаксичних структур обмежена. Іноді зустрічаються складні речення з метою вираження відношень зв’язку чи протиставлення. В кожному реченні описується, як правило, один факт.
Визначною ознакою фабульних текстів є динамізм подій, дій та вчинків персонажів, що зумовлюються логічним інваріантом та означенням часу. В таких текстах легко виділити основне і другорядне. Між окремими фактами та епізодами існують логіко-смислові (часові, умовні і причинні) зв’язки. Розуміння загального смислу такого тексту неможливе без розуміння окремих фактів, проте воно не виводиться з їх суми, а вимагає переосмислення інформації, пов’язаної з фактами.
Фабульні тексти відрізняються експліцитно вираженими смисловими зв’язками і відношеннями між окремими фактами. В них наявні складні синтаксичні конструкції, бо в них виражається головна і детальна інформація.
Крім структурних ознак, зумовлених типологічними характеристиками аудіотекстів, останнім притаманні ще й мовні характеристики, які допомагають або утруднюють процес аудіювання. Це передусім неточна інтерпретація звучання слів, явища фонетичної редукції, асиміляція, злиття звуків. В лексичному аспекті виникають труднощі у зв’язку з особливостями сприйняття коротких і довгих слів та розходженням семантичних структур у двох мовах при полісемії. Стосовно граматичних особливостей слід мати на увазі незвичайний порядок слів, вставні звороти в реченнях, а також омофонію морфологічних і словотворчих суфіксів та флексій. Допомогти в аудіюванні тексту може перерозподіл синтаксичних позицій і можлива заміна складних морфологічних явищ.
Основною вимогою до змісту аудіотекстів слід вважати їх інформативність та цікаву фабулу. Градація труднощів смислового змісту може виражатися в переході від цікавих до інформативних текстів. Посильність забезпечується оптимальним поєднанням інформативності та надлишковості інформації в аудіотекстах.
В практиці навчання іноземних мов тексти для аудіювання мають бути автентичними, доступними за змістом та мовним складом, короткими за тривалістю звучання, в основному монотематичними. Відбираються такі типи текстів:

“British Newspapers and Magazines”
The papers in Britain are divided into two groups – the quality papers and tabloids.
The quality papers are large in size and have detailed articles about national and international events. The tabloids are smaller in size, have shorter articles and have more pictures. The articles in the tabloids are shorter and about less important events. Sometimes they are about private lives of well-known people. There are daily and Sunday papers. Sunday papers are larger than daily papers; they are national, and that means they can be bought all over Britain.
Many papers and magazines are printed in colour, and a number of papers produce colour magazines as a part of Saturday and Sunday papers. They provide reading material about fashion, clothes, cooking, diet, house and home, motoring and holidays. They publish sections with articles on travel, food and wine, and other leisure topics.
The great number of magazines are published for women. Their bright covers are designed to catch the eye, and they certainly succeed in doing so. There are magazines for motorists, farmers, gardeners, nurses, computer programmers and many others. There is always something to read.
