Одним из видов работы на занятиях по
английскому языку в системе среднего
профессионального образования является работа с
лексическим материалом. При этом, кроме
тематической лексики, которая позволяет
понимать тексты для чтения и аудирования и
создавать собственные письменные и устные
тексты, отобранный лексический материал должен
включать слова и выражения, отражающие сферу
профессиональной деятельности студентов.

Рассмотрим виды работы с профессиональной
лексикой на занятиях по английскому языку в
группах студентов, обучающихся по специальности 10.02.01
“Организация и технология защиты информации”
.
Данная специальность относится к укрупнённой
группе специальностей 230000 Информатика и
вычислительная техника.

Основная цель изучения лексики – умение
узнавать и употреблять в речи новые лексические
единицы в ситуациях профессионального общения.

Большая часть профессиональной лексики,
предназначенной для изучения, связана с
информационными технологиями, компьютерной
терминологией, компьютерными сетями,
источниками хранения и передачи информации,
системами защиты информации, правовыми
аспектами защиты информации.

Рассмотрим как традиционные, так и игровые
методы работы с профессиональной лексикой.

Некоторые английские слова студенты могут
понимать по догадке и схожему звучанию с русским
словом, которое было заимствовано из английского
языка. Например, compiler – компилятор; monitor – монитор
и др.

Способом подачи новой профессиональной
лексики служат иллюстрации, приведенные к
каждому уроку в учебном пособии В. Эванс Information
Technologies
, при этом студентам необязательно
искать перевод слова в англо-русском словаре. В
каждом уроке данного учебного пособия
приводится по 5 – 7 фотографий с новыми словами.

Часть слов студенты изучают, читая их
определения в глоссарии, и тем самым могут
догадаться о переводе незнакомого слова.
Например: an attachment is a file that is sent with an e-mail.

Серия упражнений, развивающих лексические
навыки студентов, включает в себя заполнение
пропусков в предложениях; выбор правильного
варианта употребления слова в предложении,
подбор слов-синонимов.

Приведем некоторые примеры.

TOEFL Success Read the passage to review the vocabulary you have learned. Answer the questions that follow.

The aborigines of Australia may have been some of the first people on the planet. Recent discoveries of relics, including stone tools, show that  humans lived near Penrith, New South Wales, about 47,000 years ago. Australian aborigines migrated from northern lands by sea, when the water passages were narrower than they are today. This is the first evidence of sea travel by prehistoric humans. The saga of this water passing survives in modern-day aboriginal folklore. To put this in perspective, remember that 50,000 years ago, humans were nomadic. Early aborigines did not cultivate crops, and in Australia at the time there were no animals that could be domesticated. No one knows how long it took aboriginal people to reach Australia, but archaeologists are searching through ancient campsites for vestiges of their early lifestyle. Fossilized remains indicate that these nomadic people not only gathered food from the land, but they also subsisted on meat from large animals that no longer exist today. As part of their hunting tradition, aborigines ritually covered themselves in mud to mask their own scent or for camouflage. Aboriginal society marked the major events of life with rites such as circumcision, marriage, and cremation. Older people were revered and cared for as great sources of wisdom. When Westerners arrived in Australia in 1788, the 300,000 aborigines who lived there were not eager to assimilate their ways. In the following years, disease, loss of land, and loss of identity shaped the aborigines’ history perhaps as much as their first prehistoric crossing from the north.
