ELŐSZÓ

E nyelvtani feladatgyűjtemény a gimnáziumi angol nyelvi tan­ könyvekhez készült. A könyv elsősorban az alaptantervű osztályok nyelvtani törzsanyagát tartalmazza, de ugyanakkor a speciális osz­ tályok számára is nyújt feladatokat (például a Com m ent on the use o f. .’. vagy az Analyse the use o f . . . utasításokat tartalmazó felada­ tok). A z egyes gyakorlatok részben vagy egészben elvégezhetők egy-egy nyelvtani jelenséghez kapcsoltan és/vagy szintetizáló ismét­ lésként - a tanár legjobb belátása szerint. A z angol nyelvi tankönyvek megírásának idején terjedelmi okok akadályozták meg a szerzőket abban, hogy változatosabb fajtájú, elegendő mennyiségű gyakorlatokat is készítsenek. Választaniuk kellett a hagyományosabb mechanikus és az életszerűbb szituatív gyakorlatok között. A szerzők az utóbbiak mellett döntöttek kettős meggondolásból is: egyrészt a szituatív gyakorlatok közvetlenebbül szolgálják a tantervi célokat, hatékonyabban járulnak hozzá a kom­ munikatív képességek kialakításához és fejlesztéséhez, másrészt a mechanikus gyakorlatokat szükség szerint maguk a kollégák is könynyebben megszerkeszthetik vagy előteremthetik. Reméltük azt is, hogy a hagyományosabb gyakorlatfajták háttérbe szorításával csökkenthetjük az öncélú grammatizálást, megkedveltethetjük a korszerűbb, a célravezetőbb gyakorlatokat. Szándékainkkal a ta­ pasztalatok szerint egyet is értett a kollégák többsége olyannyira, hogy az idők során a nyelvtani tudatosság nem kívánt szintre sülylyedt, amihez szerencsétlen módon talán még az is hozzájárult, hogy a tankönyveknek a nyelvtani tudatosítást szolgáló részei ki­ sebb betűkkel szedettek, mintha elhanyagolható részekről lenne szó. Tanulmányi versenyeken, felvételi vizsgákon egyértelműen ki­ derült, hogy eredeti elképzeléseink eltorzultak az angolnyelv-okta-

tás mindennapi gyakorlatában. A tapasztalatok ismeretében kettős célt tűztünk magunk elé: könyvünkkel egyrészt fel kívánjuk hívni a figyelmet a nyelvtani tudatosság és pontosság fontosságára, más­ részt hathatós segítséget is akarunk nyújtani a tudatosság fokozásá­ hoz, a nyelvtani pontosság kimunkálásához. Újabb félreértések elkerülése végett hangsúlyozzuk, hogy nem valamiféle grammatizáló módszer felélesztésén fáradozunk - virul az itt-ott élesztgetés nélkül is - , nem azt akarjuk, hogy a pendulum most meg az ellenkező irányba billenjen ki, hanem azt, hogy szabá­ lyosan rója az útját a spontaneitástól a tudatosságig, illetve a tuda­ tosságtól a spontaneitásig, bár ez utóbbi út mindenkori járhatósága az idegen nyelvek elsajátítása terén egyre többekben támaszt kéte­ lyeket. A szerző sem hisz abban, hogy a nyelvi szabályok akár szö­ veges, akár táblázatokba foglalt ism erete, a szabályok tudatos al­ kalmazása, kellő mennyiségű gyakorlása önmagában elegendő lenne a tényleges nyelvtudás kialakításához, mint ahogyan a mate­ matikai képletek ismerete, a velük való m űveletek begyakorlása is édeskevés a szöveges, az életszerű feladatok megoldásához. A z azonban hihető, hogy egy idegen nyelv m egértéséhez, és a jobb megértés következtében a gyorsabb elsajátításához nagymérték­ ben hozzájárul a nyelvi jelenségek bizonyos fokú tudatosítása és mechanikus gyakorlása is. A z pedig vitathatatlan tény, hogy igé­ nyesebb nyelvi teljesítm ények - sem anyanyelven, sem idegen nyelven - nem születhetnek kellő mértékű nyelvi tudatosság nélkül. A továbbiakban is jobban hiszünk az életszerűbb szituatív gya­ korlatokban, hiszen legfőbb célunk a kommunikatív képességek kifejlesztése - a társadalmi igényeknek m egfelelően akár a nyelvtani helyesség rovására is —, de reméljük, hogy tanítványaink képessé­ geitől, célkitűzéseitől függően, differenciált módon a nyelvi tuda­ tosság, a nyelvtani helyesség értéke is a maga helyére kerül.

Nyelvvizsgázók, érettségizők figyelmébe lyányuk: 10164 Dr. Budai László-Radványi Tamás: Angol nyelvtan a középiskolák számára A gimnáziumi tankönyvek visszatérő hiányossága a kellő terjedelem­ ben tárgyalt nyelvtan. A szerzők ezen a hiányosságon próbálnak segí­ teni, amikor táblázatos összefoglalásban bemutatják az angol nyelv fo­ netikai és alaktani sajátosságait. A kiejtés és írás problémáitól a szófajok és szószerkezetek ismertetésén át jutnak el a mondattanig, mindenütt részletes magyarázatot fűzve a nyelvi jelenségekhez és sajátosságokhoz. A könyv az Angol nyelvtani gyakorlatokkal együtt valóban nagy segít­ séget jelent a felkészülésben.

56360 Bajnóczi Beatrix-Kiss Anikó-Haavisto Kirsi: Tests, U p s and TVicks Angol nyelvkönyv felvételire és nyelvvizsgára tanácsokkal és magyarázatokkal A könyv megismertet az írásbeli vizsgák valamennyi feladattípusával, részletes nyelvtani magyarázatokkal megvilágítja, hogy az egyes fel­ adatoknál melyik válaszlehetőség miért jó vagy rossz, tippeket ad a további gyakorláshoz. Két teljes próbafelvételi feladatsor segítségével lehetőséget teremt az öntesztelésre. Praktikus tanácsokkal is szolgál a vizsgára készülőknek. A középfokú nyelvvizsgára készülő diákoknak és felnőtteknek, valamint a felsőoktatási intézmények angol szakára jelent­ kezőknek ajánljuk.

General Communication Skills and Exercises A gimnázium EH. és IV. osztálya számára készült szöveggyűjtemény. Olyan témaköröket érint a könyv, amelyek a mindennapi élet legfonto­ sabb területeit ölelik fel, tehát mindazoknak ajánljuk, akik praktikus, közhasznú és országismereti tudnivalókat szeretnének elsajátítani. Szó­ ban és írásban is végezhető gyakorlatok, kommunikációs feladatok, pá­ ros és csoportmunkára alkalmas gyakorlatok kaptak helyet a kötetben. Az 1994-ben megjelenő újabb kiadást a szerzők átdolgozták, kiegé­ szítették friss anyagokkal, információkkal és tetszetősebb illusztrációk­ kal. A könyvhöz kazetta is készül.

General Communication Skills and Exercises Munkafüzet és kazetta A munkafüzet az alapkönyvhöz hasonlóan 22 fejezetből áll, amelyek a szóbeli angol nyelvvizsgák leggyakoribb témaköreit veszik sorra. Egyegy fejezet négy egységre tagolódik: a hallás utáni szövegértést szó­ kincsfejlesztő és kiejtési gyakorlatok, megbeszélésre szánt feladatok kö­ vetik, majd a magnó alapján kitölthető lyukas dalszövegeket találunk, valamint az olvasmányokhoz kapcsolódó feladatok segítségével egy nyelvtani kérdéskört ismételhetünk át. A kazettán az alapkönyv vala­ mennyi fejezetének bevezető szövege, valamint egy brit/amerikai népdal található a M.É.Z. együttes tolmácsolásában.
