ОТ АВТОРОВ
Учебное пособие “Everyday VOCABULARY + Grammar”предназначено для углублённого
изучения лексики английского языка по основным темам, связанным с повседневной жизнью
человека.
Пособие содержит 10 тематических разделов: Family and Relations, People, A Place to
Live, Daily Routine, The World of Work, Food and Meals, Shopping, Health and Illness, On the Move,
On Holiday.
Несомненным преимуществом данной работы является психологически обоснованный
подход к изучению лексики. Объём словарных блоков, предлагаемых по ходу развития
каждой новой темы, учитывает особенности работы памяти. Для лучшего запоминания слов
и усвоения материала созданыспециальные зрительные и слуховые «опоры», активно
задействована механическая память.
В учебнике более 400 различных упражнений, часть из них имеет звуковое сопро-
вождение, на прилагаемом MP3 диске. Озвученный лексический материал, тексты и
диалоги не только способствуют лучшему запоминанию, но и помогают выработать
правильное произношение без обращения к словарю и транскрипции.
Отличительной особенностью данной работы является то, что в пособии лексика и
грамматика соединены в единое целое. Они изучаются не как два раздельных аспекта
языка, а «параллельно», так же, как они существуют в языке.
Такой способ подачи материала ставит цель отойти от сложившейся практики изучения
языка, когда искусственный разрыв между лексикой и грамматикой препятствует его
успешному освоению.
На базе изучаемого словаря, повторяются грамматические конструкции, наиболее
часто употребляемые в текстах и диалогах на определённую тему. Грамматические
комментарии расположены непосредственно там, где по условиям общения, требуется
использование данной конструкции. Упражнения строятся исключительно на лексике
данного раздела и естественным образом вплетаются в его тематику.
Учебное пособие “Everyday VOCABULARY + Grammar” может быть использовано для
обучения студентов гуманитарных вузов и старшеклассников школ и гимназий с углублённым
изучением английского языка, а также всех учащихся, планирующих сдавать ЕГЭ.
В нашем учебном пособии большое внимание уделяется сочетаемости слов, употреб-
лению предлогов и фразовых глаголов. Поскольку знание особенностей употребления
3
лексических единиц в речи является определённым показателем уровня владения языком,
этот аспект составляет основную часть ЕГЭ по иностранному языку.
Работа с текстами также ориентирована натребования ЕГЭ.
Ответы-ключи, изданные отдельной книгой, позволяютуспешно использовать пособие
для самостоятельной работы.
Учебный материал изданияоснован непосредственно на реалиях современной жизни и
имеет не только познавательное, культурологическое, но и воспитательное значение.
Удобство расположения материала, визуальные «опоры», озвученный лексический
материали современное оформление повышают эффективность работыспособиеми делают
егоuser-friendly.
