На этой страничке вы найдёте не совсем обычный материал: видео, на котором представлено обучение танцам. Какое отношение это имеет к урокам английского языка? Все дети любят танцевать. А что, если попытаться организовать динамическую паузу, во время которой учащиеся, например 6-7 классов, отложат учебники в сторону и продолжат изучать английской вместе с английским тренером по танцам? Что мы с этого будем иметь? Во-первых, необычно организованную релаксационную паузу, во-вторых, обучение аудированию. Как вам идея?
