Предисловие

Предлагаемое учебное издание подготовлено в соответствии с требованиями Федерального государственного образовательного стандарта основного общего образования, отражает основные программные 
положения в области иноязычного школьного образования и основывается на современных технологиях обучения иностранному языку.
Пособие может быть использовано в качестве дополнительных материалов для выполнения домашних заданий, работы в классе, самостоятельной работы и факультативных занятий.
Дидактические материалы включают две части: «Лексика» 
(Vocabulary) и «Грамматика» (Grammar). Обе части состоят из нескольких тематических разделов. Каждый раздел делится на три уровня (А, В и С), отличающихся по сложности и характеру выполняемых 
заданий: уровень А – задания репродуктивного характера, направленные на отработку языковой формы; уровень В – задания репродуктивно-продуктивного характера, позволяющие плавно перейти от механического воспроизведения речевого образца к созданию собственного 
высказывания; уровень С – задания продуктивного (творческого) характера, концентрирующие внимание учащихся на содержании высказывания.
Такое распределение заданий по уровням дает возможность последовательно выстраивать работу по формированию иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции обучающихся. Хотя последовательность 
уровней и заданий подчинена логике от простого к сложному, учитель 
может по своему усмотрению определять последовательность выполнения заданий.
Использование разноуровневых заданий позволяет осуществлять 
дифференциацию и индивидуализацию обучения, организовывать образовательный процесс с учетом индивидуальных, возрастных и психологических особенностей обучающихся.
