Α. Εισαγωγή για το μαθητή

Αγαπητέ μαθητή, αγαπητή μαθήτρια,

Η Αγγλική είναι η γλώσσα που μπορείς να χρησιμοποιείς για επικοινωνία σε περιβάλλοντα όπου δεν ομιλείται η μητρική σου γλώσσα. Είναι δηλαδή μια σύγχρονη γλώσσα την οποία υιοθετούν πολίτες από όλες τις γωνιές του πλανήτη για να ανταλλάξουν απόψεις, ιδέες, εμπειρίες και γνώσεις, γραπτά ή προφορικά. Είναι με άλλα λόγια γλώσσα - 'εργαλείο' που χρησιμοποιείται στην πραγματική ζωή αλλά και στην εικονική πραγματικότητα, δηλαδή στο διαδίκτυο. Από εκεί μπορείς να αντλείς πληροφορίες αλλά και να ανταλλάσεις γραπτά μηνύματα, καθώς και να συμμετέχεις σε κουβεντούλες σε πραγματικό χρόνο με συμμαθητές και συμμαθήτριες σου από όλον τον κόσμο. Η εκμάθησή της Αγγλικής γλώσσας λοιπόν είναι αναγκαία και απαραίτητη στην εποχή μας.

Το βιβλίο που έχεις στα χέρια σου έχει στόχο να σε βοηθήσει να βελτιώσεις τις γνώσεις που έχεις ήδη αποκτήσει αλλά και να οικοδομήσεις νέες γνώσεις όχι μόνο για τη γλώσσα αλλά και για τον κόσμο γύρω σου. Γι' αυτό η συγγραφή του βιβλίου στηρίχτηκε όχι μόνο στους γραμματικούς κανόνες και τις λεξιλογικές ασκήσεις αλλά και σε γνώσεις που έχεις ή που αποκτάς μέσα από όλα τα μαθήματα του σχολικού προγράμματος. Άλλωστε, όπως έχεις κιόλας συνειδητοποιήσει, δεν μαθαίνουμε απλά απομνημονεύοντας και επαναλαμβάνοντας μηχανικά, αλλά κατανοώντας και αναλύοντας τις πληροφορίες που παίρνουμε με κάποιον τρόπο από το περιβάλλον μας μέσω της Αγγλικής γλώσσας. Επιπλέον, επειδή δεν μαθαίνουμε μόνο όταν βρισκόμαστε στο σπίτι, στο σχολείο ή σε κάποια βιβλιοθήκη μόνοι μας, αλλά και όταν συνεργαζόμαστε σε ομάδες, με άλλα άτομα με τα οποία μοιραζόμαστε κοινά ενδιαφέροντα, κοινούς μαθησιακούς στόχους, το βιβλίο περιέχει πολλές ομαδικές δραστηριότητες.

Ο σχεδιασμός του βιβλίου της Αγγλικής γλώσσας βασίστηκε σε βιώματα που έχουν παιδιά της ηλικίας σου και προτείνει τη συνεχή συνεργασία με τους συμμαθητές σου. Έτσι, στις ενότητες του βιβλίου θα βρεις δραστηριότητες που πρέπει να

πραγματοποιηθούν στο πλαίσιο μιας ομάδας ή σε συνεργασία με κάποιο/α

συμμαθητή/τριά σου, με σκοπό να επικοινωνήσετε

με εργαλείο την Αγγλική γλώσσα. Θα χρειαστεί λοιπόν κάποιες φορές να διαβάσεις ένα κείμενο και να το σχολιάσεις με τους συνεργάτες σου ή, ακόμη, να γράψετε και να βελτιώσετε μαζί μια διαφήμιση, ένα γράμμα, να συνθέσετε ένα μήνυμα ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου, να πάρετε αποφάσεις για κάποιο ζήτημα κλπ. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, στο βιβλίο της Αγγλικής γλώσσας θα βρεις τα παρακάτω στοιχεία:

  1. Τις έννοιες που διατρέχουν την κάθε ενότητα στην πρώτη σελίδα της, καθώς και τους μαθησιακούς στόχους που πρέπει να κατακτήσεις στη διάρκεια της διδασκαλίας

  2. Τις στρατηγικές μάθησης και συνεργασίας που θα αναπτύξεις στη διάρκεια της κάθε ενότητας στην πρώτη επίσης σελίδα της

  3. Σχέδια εργασίας (projects) που θα αναλάβεις να πραγματοποιήσεις στο πλαίσιο ομαδικής εργασίας με τους/τις συμμαθητές/τριές σου

  4. Δραστηριότητες διαφορετικού βαθμού δυσκολίας στο τελευταίο τμήμα του βιβλίου σου που μπορείς να χρησιμοποιήσεις όταν βρίσκεις πολύ εύκολη ή πολύ δύσκολη κάποια δραστηριότητα μιας ενότητας

  5. Δραστηριότητες διαμεσολάβησης, δηλαδή μεταφοράς του νοήματος ενός κειμένου από την Ελληνική στην Αγγλική γλώσσα ή/και το αντίθετο

  6. Δραστηριότητες αυτο-αξιολόγησης, δηλαδή αξιολόγησης της μαθησιακής πορείας σου από εσένα τον/την ίδιο/α.

Τελειώνοντας, μέσω των δραστηριοτήτων που προσφέρονται σ' αυτό, ελπίζουμε το βιβλίο σου να σε βοηθήσει να γνωρίσεις καλύτερα τον τρόπο που μαθαίνεις. Έτσι, σταδιακά θα μπορείς να διαμορφώνεις ο/η ίδιος/α το μαθησιακό σου πρόγραμμα με βάση τις δικές σου ανάγκες και να εδραιώνεις την ανεξαρτησία σου σ' έναν κόσμο που συνεχώς μεταβάλλεται και απαιτεί διαρκή ενημέρωση και προσαρμογή στις νέες συνθήκες.

Σου ευχόμαστε να απολαύσεις την πορεία προς τη μάθηση!
