ISBN 978–5–88210–870–9 © Алтайский государственный педагогический университет, 2017 Введение Учебное пособие предназначено для организации практических занятий со студентами 1 курса неязыковых факультетов и институтов педагогических вузов. Пособие, представляя собой коррективно-повторительный курс английского языка, может быть рекомендовано ши- рокому кругу лиц, желающих расширить свои знания и разговорные умения по английскому языку. Цель предлагаемого пособия – развитие навыков письменной речи в пределах про- граммы для 1 курса, обучение устной речи на основе развития необходимых автоматизирован- ных речевых навыков, развитие техники чтения и умения понимать английский текст. Предлагаемое пособие состоит из четырех частей: My Family, My Flat, My Friend, My Working Day. В основу всей системы упражнений данного учебного пособия положены следующие ме- тодические принципы: упражнения даны в порядке нарастания языковых трудностей и посте- пенного перехода от упражнений репродуктивного типа к упражнениям продуктивного типа; устные упражнения чередуются с письменными. Упражнения рассчитаны как на самостоя- тельную работу студентов, так и на выполнение их в аудитории под руководством преподава- теля. В пособии представлен вводно-коррективный фонетический курс, упражнения на попол- нение и развитие лексического запаса слов, представлен лексический минимум, при ранжи- ровке которого использован основополагающий в отечественной и зарубежной лингвистике принцип системной организации лексики, а также различные тренировочные упражнения на практическое овладение грамматикой, на усвоение базовых грамматических структур. Грам- матике ввиду её роли как средства создания фундаментальной базы для развития других ком- муникативных навыков отводится особое место в пособии. Приоритетной задачей является ознакомление студентов с грамматическими явлениями и с грамматическими конструкциями, работа над их отработкой, стимулирование студентов к использованию усвоенного и отрабо- танного грамматического материала в ситуациях аудиторного и реального общения. Во мно- гие уроки включены задания на перевод предложений с русского языка на английский. Дан- ный тип работы является важным как для закрепления грамматических явлений, так и для ак- тивизации изучаемого лексического материала. Выполнение такого рода упражнений позволяет учащимся усвоить когнитивные основа- ния существующей в английском языке системы времен, понять, как в целом членится вре- менная действительность в языковой картине мира англичан и, как следствие, обеспечить пра- вильное использования временных форм английского глагола. Для понимания английской ви- довременной системы как целостного явления важна работа с каждой формой в отдельности, и прежде чем переходить к сопоставительному анализу, необходимо четко усвоить правила употребления конкретных форм. В таком методическом русле представлена подача материала по видовременным формам глагола. В пособии также представлены аутентичные и частично адаптированные короткие диа- логи и тексты, имеющие коммуникативно-речевую направленность. В каждом разделе пред- ставлены задания на аудирование. В конце каждого раздела дается проверочная работа. Каждая тематическая серия упражнений расширяет представление об изучаемых явле- ниях. Работа над упражнениями состоит из четырех этапов: ознакомительно-распознаватель- 3 ного, аналитического, активизирующего и повторительного. При этом в зависимости от кон- кретных тем ознакомительно-распознавательный этап может сочетаться с аналитическим, а повторительный одновременно служить и контролирующим. Представленное пособие направлено на решение следующих задач: расширить активный и пассивный словарный запас студентов по базовым темам; обеспечить закрепление и активизацию грамматического материала по представ- ленным в пособии темам; углубить знания об особенностях английской языковой системы (словообразова- ние, местоимения, артикли, видовременные формы глагола, употребление предлогов, притяжательный падеж и др.); развить умения устной речи (монологической и диалогической); развить умения и навыки письменной речи. Пособие может быть использовано как для работы в аудитории, так и для самостоятельной работы в домашних условиях.

  • Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in the Simpsons
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD Film Studies in the University of Hull by Jemma Diane Gilboy, BFA, BA (Hons) (University of Regina), MScRes (University of Edinburgh) April 2016 Craptacular Science and the Worst Audience Ever: Memetic Proliferation and Fan Participation in The Simpsons by Jemma D. Gilboy University of Hull 201108684 Abstract (Thesis Summary) The objective of this thesis is to establish meme theory as an analytical paradigm within the fields of screen and fan studies. Meme theory is an emerging framework founded upon the broad concept of a “meme”, a unit of culture that, if successful, proliferates among a given group of people. Created as a cultural analogue to genetics, memetics has developed into a cultural theory and, as the concept of memes is increasingly applied to online behaviours and activities, its relevance to the area of media studies materialises. The landscapes of media production and spectatorship are in constant fluctuation in response to rapid technological progress. The internet provides global citizens with unprecedented access to media texts (and their producers), information, and other individuals and collectives who share similar knowledge and interests. The unprecedented speed with (and extent to) which information and media content spread among individuals and communities warrants the consideration of a modern analytical paradigm that can accommodate and keep up with developments. Meme theory fills this gap as it is compatible with existing frameworks and offers researchers a new perspective on the factors driving the popularity and spread (or lack of popular engagement with) a given media text and its audience.

  • The Id, the Ego and the Superego of the Simpsons
    Hugvísindasvið The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson January 2013 University of Iceland School of Humanities Department of English The Id, the Ego and the Superego of The Simpsons B.A. Essay Stefán Birgir Stefánsson Kt.: 090285-2119 Supervisor: Anna Heiða Pálsdóttir January 2013 Abstract The purpose of this essay is to explore three main characters from the popular television series The Simpsons in regards to Sigmund Freud‟s theories in psychoanalytical analysis. This exploration is done because of great interest by the author and the lack of psychoanalytical analysis found connected to The Simpsons television show. The main aim is to show that these three characters, Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson and Ned Flanders, represent Freud‟s three parts of the psyche, the id, the ego and the superego, respectively. Other Freudian terms and ideas are also discussed. Those include: the reality principle, the pleasure principle, anxiety, repression and aggression. For this analysis English translations of Sigmund Freud‟s original texts and other written sources, including psychology textbooks, and a selection of The Simpsons episodes, are used. The character study is split into three chapters, one for each character. The first chapter, which is about Homer Simpson and his controlling id, his oral character, the Oedipus complex and his relationship with his parents, is the longest due to the subchapter on the relationship between him and Marge, the id and the ego. The second chapter is on Marge Simpson, her phobia, anxiety, aggression and repression. In the third and last chapter, Ned Flanders and his superego is studied, mainly through the religious aspect of the character.

  • The Fifth Simpsons Packet.Pdf
    Ground Zero; About Me; Model U.N.; International Relations; Web Pages; Internet Links The following packet was written by Hayden Hurst. Please direct any comments to [email protected]. The Fifth Simpsons Packet Toss-Ups 1. The Simpsons' first Emmy win for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in 1997 came for "We Put The Spring In Springfield". It's second came one year later, with a song that involved no traditional Simpsons cast members. It is, however, a relatively elaborate number - moving from Los Angeles to elsewhere in California - all while never leaving New York. Oh, and it also involves strapping down Liza Minelli. For ten points, name this song, a key feature of the Broadway play "Kickin' It". ANSWER: You're _CHECKING IN_ (accept ''I'm Checking In") (accept "We Put The Spring In Springfield" before it's said) 2. Its adjunct gets its name from Chief Starving Bear, and it's located on Bid Snake Lake and below Mount Avalanche. It was originally run by Mr. Black - afterwards, it was worse than Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq put together. For ten points, name this Krustiest place on Earth. ANSWER: _KAMP KRUSTY_ 3. The answer is sort of a tie. In any case, it does not involve running around a beer truck or marrying Marge. It may involve a Krustyburger, an hour-long episode of Mama's family, and Lisa's birth. However, it's probably involves skipping church, winning a radio contest, making moon waffles, and finding a penny. For ten points, what am I talking about? ANSWER: _BEST DAY OF HOMER'S LIFE_ (accept equivalents) 4.

  • PD! Adds a New Dimension to the Sim Psons™
    ft/ss For Immediate Release Contact: Abby Letteri l>l>l (408) 745-6755 PD! Adds a New Dimension to The Simpsons™ Animation Studio Creates First-ever 3D Animation of Homer and Bart for Halloween Episode October 24, 1995 (Sunnyvale, CA) -- For the first time ever, Homer and Bart Simpson will be brought to the screen as three-dimensional characters, rendered in state-of-the-art computer animation by Pacific Data Images. "Treehouse of Horror VI,” the latest installment in The Simpsons' popular Halloween specials, features Homer3, a parody of a memorable episode of "The Twilight Zone” in which a young girl passes through a wall and is trapped in the 4th dimension. As in years past, "Treehouse of Horror VI” features three vignettes, each a parody of a Hollywood legend or cultural icon. Spoofs of'50's monster movies, "Nightmare on Elm Street,” and "The Twilight Zone,” will be showcased in this year's episode slated to air on October 29th at 8pm on Fox. In the climactic moments of "Treehouse of Horror VI," Homer accidentally steps into the third dimension while desperately trying to avoid his sisters-in-law, Patty and Selma. Having lived his entire life in the 2D world, Homer enjoys his new depth until, through a minor mishap, he creates a black hole which threatens to engulf the entire universe. Bart alone is brave enough to cross over into this other world, in an attempt to save his father. According to The Simpsons’ executive producers, Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein, “PDI has provided a caliber and quality of animation never before seen on series television ..

  • The Simpson Pedigree Family Trait Data: the Following Have 4 Fingers
    The Simpson Pedigree Many years ago, Abe Simpson married the dashing blue haired Penelope Olson. The two fell madly in love and had two sons – Herb and Homer. Not much is known about Herb. It is unknown if he ever married or if the “Four finger trait” was passed on but early family photos show Herb appeared normal. When Homer was in high school he met Marge, a dashing blue-haired beauty. Homer noticed the difference between them, but Marge didn’t seem to care. As the saying goes, the rest was history. Homer and Marge fell for each and married shortly after high school. Marge’s family was not without the trait but none of her sisters had it and neither did Marge. Marge’s mom, Jackie married Clancy Burns, the wealthy owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Their first born was Marge but they had two more girls Patty and Selma. Patty eventually ended up marrying Troy McClure, the actor, much to the surprise and disappointment of her sister/best friend/only friend Selma. In response Selma married the Comic Book Guy named Guy. They had two children; a girl named Patrice and a son named Jub-Jub (after Selma’s favorite pet lizard). Back to Marge and Homer – Marge and Homer’s first child, Bartholomew was quite a terror. Fortunately, their second child, Lisa was nothing like Bart. Six years later, Maggie was born. Bart reunited with one of his first loves, Reverend Lovejoy’s daughter Grace, and they got married at Krusty Burger in Springfield.

  • BACHELOR THESIS Gender in the Simpsons
    2009:287 BACHELOR THESIS Gender in The Simpsons Anna-Karin Mattsson Luleå University of Technology Bachelor thesis English Department of Language and Culture 2009:287 - ISSN: 1402-1773 - ISRN: LTU-CUPP--09/287--SE Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine how gender is depicted in The Simpsons in terms of language, female and male activities and the plot. Four episodes of equal length of the sitcom series were selected. They were released within a limited period of time. Six features were selected for analysis: names, adjectives, occupations, verbs, representation and gender roles. It was found that the female characters are more likely than male characters to have a shortened name and more likely to be described by physical appearance. Male characters tend to have prestigious jobs and be closely connected to their professions. Verbs describing male work are common, whereas no verbs describing female work were found. There are far more men than women represented in The Simpsons. Also, the four episodes mainly offer traditional gender roles, where women are pictured as less able than men. Key words: gender, gender in television, The Simpsons, TV sitcoms, occupations, verbs, names, adjectives.

More specifically, there are pivotal players that have been invaluable throughout this writing process. To my Supervisor—Shirley Steinberg, thank you for answering so many of my questions and for helping me to understand that while The Simpsons might not be hyperreal, you can probably still find a time where they ‘did’ hyperreal. And for sharing your amazing brilliance and strength in everything that you do. Thank-You. To my partner in life—Scott McMichael- ‘I choo choo choose you’ -10 seasons in and a whole lot more to go. You have pushed and encouraged me everyday to do my best. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. I love you. To my family— To my grandfather, Dr. Jim, you have made all of this obtainable and have been my hero throughout my life. It is your encouragement and advice that continues to push me to work hard at everything that I do. To my mother, Johanne McGillivray, you have taught me to have faith in the world and not to be afraid to wonder about the unimaginable.
