Introduction This manual is intended for being used at the lessons of Country-Study for the first year students of language educational institutions. The manual reflects the most important issues, which are basic for acquaintance with countries under review and the foundation for the teaching and educational work with students. The manual integrates the data about Great Britain and the USA of the historical, geographical, economical, and cultural character, aimed at broadening student’s horizon, stimulating their cognitive interests. The aim of the manual is to render support to a teacher in the complex realization of general educational and creativity stimulating tasks, side by side with the solution of tasks of students’ practical training when teaching them English by expanding their vocabulary of the linguistic and country-study character. The objective of the manual is broadening and extending knowledge, developing independent learning skills. The lesson working outs present the discussion of key issues in a form of reports and colloquia, testing, detailed work over texts of country-study character (scanning, skimming, finding facts), organization of various activities. 6 The manual corresponds to the program requirements and appears to be useful supplementary material to existing editions. AUTHORS Сведения об авторе Кулиди Ольга Валентиновна Старший преподаватель кафедры английского языка и литературы Гулистанского государственного университета Закончила Ташкентский государственный педагогический институт иностранных языков в 1982 году. Рецензенты: Таджиев Х.Т., кандидат филологических наук, доцент Уразбаев Х., заведующий кафедрой английского языка и литературы ГГУ 7 RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS КРАТКИЕ МЕТОДИЧЕСКИЕ РЕКОМЕНДАЦИИ Пособие может быть использовано на различных этапах работы над темами Великобритания и США. Преподавателю следует определить трудности той или иной лекции для данной группы студентов, выделить новую лексику и реалии, которые требуют разъяснения, выделить трудные для произношения имена собственные, географические названия и т. п. Далее следует записать на доске затрудняющие понимание лекции слова и выражения и дать их с переводом на родной язык или синонимичной заменой. В процессе работы с пособием следует развивать познавательную деятельность студентов, их мыслительную активность, умение выделять 8 главное, существенное, сравнивать, сопоставлять, развивать внимание, память, положительные эмоции, творческое воображение. Важно также формировать у студентов навыки самостоятельной работы в поисках нужной информации из газет, журналов, телепередач, Интернета. Использование материалов пособия создает условия для реализации принципа коммуникативной направленности обучения. BRIEF METHODICAL RECOMMENDATIONS The manual can be used at different stages of work over the themes “Great Britain” and “The USA”. The teacher should determine the difficulties of this or that lesson for a certain group of students, select new vocabulary and the reals, which require elucidation, pick out complicated for pronouncing proper names, geographical denominations, etc. Further, it is necessary to write words and word expressions impeding language comprehension on the blackboard, and give their translation into the native language or synonymous equivalents. In the process of working over the manual, it is necessary to develop students’ cognitive abilities, their mental activity, and ability to select the essence, compare, confront, and develop their attention, memory, positive emotions, and creative imagination. It is also important to develop the independent working skills of students in searching the required information from published editions, TV programs, Internet. The use of the manual materials creates conditions favorable for the inculcation of the communicative approach to teaching 9 REGULATION DOCUMENTS Фзбекистон Республикаси Олий ва ўрта махсус таълим вазирлиги Гулистон Давлат университети 10 Талабаларнинг фанлардан мустақил ишларини ташкил этиш, назорат қилиш ва баҳолаш тартиби тўғрисида Низом Гулистон-2013 йил Гулистон давлат университетида талабалар мустақил ишларини ташкил этиш, назорат қилиш ва баҳолаш тартиби тўғрисида Низом I.

    The Union Flag and Flags of the United Kingdom Standard Note: SN/PC/04474 Last updated: 13 March 2013 Author: Agnieszka Suchenia Section Parliament and Constitution Centre The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) launched a consultation on altering the guidance for flying the Union Flag from UK Government buildings on 25 July 2007. As a result of the consultation, since March 2008 the UK Government Departments have the freedom to fly the Union Flag from government buildings all year round in addition to the designated fixed flag flying days. In November 2012 also the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), following a public consultation, introduced a new liberalised regulations on flying flags which widened the types of flags which may be flown in England. The purpose of this Note is to set out a brief history of the flags of the United Kingdom and to explain the current guidance issued by the DCMS. This Note also refers to the current guidance issued by the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

  • Nercwys News
    Nercwys News June 2009 Issue 20 I don‟t watch much television but a few months ago, a programme about two of our great prime ministers, Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone was transmitted. It proved to be very interesting (doubly so because of our local connection with Mr. Gladstone at Hawarden). It is claimed that they loathed each other and they fought tooth and nail from 1852 when Disraeli was, for a short time, Chancellor of the Exchequer (and a bad one at that!) and Gladstone‟s speech in reply to Disraeli‟s budget, helped to bring Disraeli‟s party down. (Does this all sound familiar?) They became leaders of their respective parties and until 1880 they regularly alternated in power and both proved as successful when in opposition as when in power. I suspect that the country benefitted from their animosity because both were always having to be aware of what the other was doing and saying and complacency and greed never crept in. Some would argue that this era marked the high point of British politics and apart from the odd charismatic and effective leader since, there has been an inexorable decline in the quality, standards and morals of our elected politicians, both at local and at national level ever since. Why is this? Certainly the Victorian Age produced more than its fair share of gifted, loquacious, energetic and adventurous leaders, who weren‟t afraid to take risks and at the same time, probably owned up to their mistakes when found out by effective opposition parties and they didn‟t hide behind inane excuses.
