Метод «Кейс – технология» актуализирует определённый комплекс знаний, который необходимо усвоить при разрешении данной проблемы реальной ситуации.

Использование метода «Кейс – технология» на уроках иностранного языка

II. Reading for discussion

I was a sixth – former, my family moved to another town.

I found the situation in the new school very difficult. The other pupils were strange people, I couldn’t understand them. They received me coldly and they disliked everything about me. In my old school we did everything together, but here everybody went his own way. It was a badly organized collective. They had never heard of the motto «One for all and all for one».

I was all against it, but what could I do in a strange class? Besides, they didn’t take me seriously because I was a short girl wearing large spectacles. And how I wanted to be liked by someone! I even stopped wearing my specs.

All this went on for a very long time. Then I realized that the best thing for me to do was to look for some friends myself. I had to show my character.

I began to fight openly with what was wrong around me. At first they did not understand me. Then they were surprised. Some time later they began to listen to my opinion, I became more and more active. I organized excursions, I took part in concerts, recited poems, sang songs, danced. I was really good at English and I helped everybody who needed help. And the most important thing was to learn to look into people’s eyes. I was not afraid any more.

When I finished the ninth form, I entered a secondary music school and moved to another town. But as soon as I came home to visit my parents, I would run to school to see my schoolmates. And last May I decided to invite my form, 10a, to my birthday party.

The whole class, all twenty-six people who had never gathered together for ten years, came to my place. We had a very good time. Everybody was so wonderful and I realized that there was real friendship.

When everybody went home, I couldn’t go to sleep. I had waited for that day for a long time and it had come at last. I shall never forget it.
