US Armed Forces. The armed forces of the United States consist of three armed services: the Army, the Navy and the Air Force.

Under the Constitution of the United States the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces is the President.

Each armed service is controlled by its department: department of the Army, department of the Navy and department of the Air Force.

The departments are headed by civilian secretaries, but actual command of troops

in each department being exercised by the chief of staff.

The three departments make up the Department of Defense, headed by the

Secretary of Defense. He is appointed from civil life with the advice and consent с

the Senate.

The US Army includes a number of arms and services. Arms are those directly

involved in the conduct of actual fighting. They are Infantry, Armor, Air Defense

Artillery and Field Artillery.

Services are those .whose chief mission is to provide logistical and administrative

support and whose personnel are not usually directly engaged in combat

operations. They are Army Medical Service, Chaplains Corps, Military Police

Corps and some other services.

There are also combat support arms which provide operational assistance to the

combat arms. They include the Corps of Engineers, the Signal Corps and the

We've just enough time to have fun. You were to prepare a few funny stories at home. Will you tell us them? (CI - C2)

A lion met a knight sleeping in full armor in the shade of the tree. He sniffed scornfully: "Again this stale canned meat ration".

Two soldiers were discussing their sergeants.

"My sergeant has the worst memory in the world", said the first.

"Can't remember anything?" the second wondered.

"No, he remembers everything".

"Hello... .Doc. you better hurry up. The company clerk just swallowed his fountain

pen!"

"All right, I'll come at once. What are you doing in the mean time?"

"Using a pencil".

Excellent work.

X. summing up

All right. It's time for us to stop now. That was a good piece of work. We've had some practice in scanning and role playing, in speaking and two-way translation, in listening and decoding abbreviations and tactical symbols. You've learnt a lot about the structure, the mission and the actual command of the armed forces of the United States of America - one of the greatest countries in the world and the leader in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Later on we'll study US army units, grades, arms and services in detail, especially the Air Force, as most of you are going to become pilots and fighter-pilots. I hope the lesson was interesting and helpful for your further education and future profession as servicemen.

Good bye, everyone. lt'

Анализ урока.

Предмет: военный перевод на английском языке

Учебник: Военный перевод А.И.Сафонов

Утвержден министерством обороны Российской Федерации в качестве учебника для суворовских военных училищ.

Класс: 10

Тип урока: вводный

Тема урока: вооруженные силы США

Оборудование: учебники, схемы, карточки с условными тактическими знаками, листы с заданиями, магнитофон, аудиозапись радиограммы, плакаты.

Цели:

Образовательная: знакомство с вооруженными силами США. Развивающая : развитие монологической и диалогической речи, обогащение и усложнение ее словарного запаса, усиление ее коммуникативной направленности.

Воспитывающая: воспитание нравственных, патриотических качеств и гражданского долга.

Урок начинается с постановки перед учащимися конкретных целей и задач. Затем идет повторение и закрепление лексики по теме с помощью различных типов упражнений: повторение за учителем (отработка фонетики), перевод терминов по опорно-логической схеме, расшифровка сокращений.

В ходе урока осуществляется постоянное повторение и применение лексико-грамматического материала по данной теме. Все этапы урока и виды учебной деятельности логически связаны между собой, построены по принципу от простого к сложному, мотивированы и нацелены на усвоение главной темы урока и умение осуществлять коммуникативное общение по ней на английском языке с учетом принципа сознательности, (повторение лексики - поисковое чтение - ответы на вопросы по тексту - двусторонний перевод - беседа - письменная работа).

Все виды учебной деятельности учащихся оцениваются сразу же после ответов. Домашнее задание дается с пояснениями и имеет творческую направленность. Учащиеся должны самостоятельно написать небольшой доклад о вооруженных силах России, используя лексико-грамматический материал, закрепленный на уроке. В конце урока подводятся итоги и подчеркивается значимость изученной темы.

В результате различных видов упражнений отрабатываются и закрепляются умения и навыки, которыми учащиеся овладевают на школьном курсе английского языка: чтение, перевод, ответы на вопросы, пересказ, диалогическая и монологическая речь, понимание английской речи на слух.

Помимо коллективной ведется индивидуальная, дифференцированная работа со слабыми учениками. Им дается возможность принять участие в учебной деятельности в роли курсанта Суворовского училища, в расшифровке условных тактических знаков на доске во время пересказа текста сильными учениками.

Урок построен в соответствии с методическими требованиями, предъявляемыми к современному уроку. Учащиеся проявляют активность и самостоятельность во время поискового чтения, ответов на вопросы, ролевой игры, беседы о вооруженных силах США. Положительную мотивацию и интерес к уроку вызывают такие виды речевой деятельности как военный юмор, работа с радиоперехватом, ролевая игра в переводчика, кадета и американского военнослужащего, а так же использование ТСО и наглядных пособий( логические схемы, условные тактические знаки, картины с изображением военной техники вооруженных сил Америки).

На уроке используются различные педагогические методы и приемы, и дидактические принципы обучения: наглядности, доступности, целесообразности, научности, актуальности и связи с жизнью, активности, сознательности, самостоятельности и творческого подхода, систематической последовательности и преемственности учебных заданий. Оригинальные уставные и другие военные американские тексты, взятые из открытых источников, имеют большое практическое значение для учащихся, так как они собираются посвятить свою жизнь защите Отечества, а Соединенные Штаты Америки являются лидером в НАТО и имеют военные базы во многих странах мира.
