Last update of the blog

My dear colleagues,
I am glad to greet you in new 2016-2017 school year. I would like to inform you about some new materials at our blog englishmetod.blogspot.com, which can be useful for you during  teaching process.

Here is Power point presentation for the methodological meeting on the 30th of August

As you remember, programs for the primary school were changed this summer. A lot of grammar rules were moved; some topics were simplified.
·        You can learn about changes in the program for the primary school here   https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6jSm56eCKaaaFdmeXpUQjRMWkk/view?usp=sharing
·        by the way, they changed the criteria of evaluation also https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6jSm56eCKaadG1ZTXl6eXlIUTA/view?usp=sharing .
Programs for the 5-8th  classes were simplified last year.
Program for the 9th  is the only one, which was not modernized.
High school classes study according to the standart, specialized (профільний) or academic level. You have to know which one is yours. As usually your librarian knows.

2.     Recommendation – I have found at least 5 sources of methodological recommendations. All of them you can download here https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6jSm56eCKaaMWtHVzRlMTh4ZTg&usp=sharing

3.       ZNO – external independent testing
·        This year English is not obligatory. Students will pass Math or History, Ukrainian and one subject on their choice. Look at this document https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6jSm56eCKaabmFRWWhmWlZ4T2s/view?usp=sharing
·        As for results of the last year testing you can find them  here http://englishmetod.blogspot.com/2016/08/2016.html

4.     Textbooks – as usually. We still don’t have them.
·        But, you can look at the textbook for the 8th grade by V.M.Burenko here http://englishmetod.blogspot.com/2016/08/8.html. Pay attention to the methodological materials. They are not only for her textbook, but the general recommendations with different additional advices.
·        And textbook for the 4th grade by Pavlichenko http://englishmetod.blogspot.com/2016/08/4.html
·        I think you can use old books by Karpiuk

5.     Summer language camps
We had camps in all town schools.
