Возникает необходимость критического отбора и анализа фактического и графического контента. Джон Дьюи (1859- 1952), представитель философии прагматизма, полагал, что любое убеждение должно быть подвергнуто проверке, аргументировано, обоснованно. Американский философ приходит к выводу, что задача любого образовательного учреждения – выработать навык дифференцирования проверенных убеждений и безосновательных догадок, мнений. Вопрос состоит в том, как развивать вышеуказанное умение и как оценивать уровень сформированной компетенции, что особенно актуально в практике подготовки будущих педагогических кадров для общеобразовательной школы. Газеты уже давно служат ценным источником при изучении иностранного языка для преподавателей и студентов. Это одно из средств мотивации, поскольку СМИ предлагают интересную, разнообразную и современную информацию о мире, в том числе, что особенно важно, сведения лингвострановедческого характера. Настоящее пособие призвано формировать следующие умения и навыки: - читать и анализировать тексты различных печатных и электронных англоязычных СМИ; - делать выводы, касающиеся менталитета и разнообразных реалий англоязычной культуры; - вести дискуссию по заявленной в статье проблематике; - находить специфические для газетного стиля средства выражения и определять их функции. Данное учебно-методическое пособие содержит лингвистический комментарий, тексты, глоссарий, практические задания, тесты, образцы анализа. Оно предназначено для организации практических занятий и самостоятельной работы студентов, может быть использовано для работы студентов-бакалавриата с направлением подготовки 050100.62 Педагогическое образование профиль Иностранный язык (английский язык) и Второй иностранный язык (немецкий язык) (5 лет).

Sample Ancient Japanese Art of Origami Thriving in San Francisco VOA, Art and Culture by Suli Yi, March 16, 2010 The ancient Japanese art of origami - or paper folding - is thriving today in San Francisco - thanks largely to an American scientist. Remember how much fun it was to play with paper airplanes as a kid? Most people give up those kinds of hobbies once they grow up, but not Robert Lang. "The biggest thing was just like this paper airplane, it was a way that you can make something with found materials, cheap paper, scraps, even trash," said Lang. Lang lives in the San Francisco bay area. He is a laser physicist and graduate of the California Institute of Technology, and has nearly 50 U.S. patents to his name. Eight years ago he gave up his job to pursue origami, making him one of the few professional origami artists in the country. He never stops creating, even during lunchtime. "I'll give it to the waitress. It'll be part of the tip," he added. But Lang can turn bills into lots of other things besides butterflies. "This was folded from two individual dollar bills," he added. "I paid two dollars for the two dollar bills. This flower was made from six one-dollar bills. This plate was made with three, and another three for the lobster. Under his expert hands, paper of almost any type, stiffness or thickness can be turned into a work of art. "Different papers suggest different subjects. And in some cases, the paper itself suggested what the best subject was. When I saw this paper, the Mexican paper, I immediately thought I want to fold it into a pot," he said. Using his understanding of complex geometric forms, Lang has played an important role in origami's evolution. Many of these models were unheard of just 10 or so years ago. "The reason I do a lot of animals is because I'm inspired by the real thing," he explained. Lang's works have been displayed in the Lindsay Wildlife Museum near San Francisco for years. Loren Behr is executive director of the museum. "It is kind of hard to believe sometimes when I look at his work to realize that one sheet of paper goes into each of the animals with all of the complexities," she said. "All the amazing number of folds … I can't imagine that he can actually do that." Many countries around the world have origami traditions. But it has played a particularly important role in Japanese culture. The English term origami is a transliteration of the Japanese word. "Ori" means "to fold," and "gami" means "paper." San Francisco's Japantown is home to some origami masters, including Linda Tomoko Mihara. Linda is a third-generation Japanese-American. She is famous for her origami cranes, which once played an important role in Japanese culture. "It was tradition for the bride to fold 1,000 cranes to wish for a long and prosperous marriage, and also to demonstrate her patience and I guess her humility to show that she would be a good wife, which is a very old way of thinking, but that's how it was in that time‖, she explained. Linda's grandparents compiled the first origami
