The questions to be discussed: 7.1. The main factors of Innovative activity.
7.2. Comparison of traditional and innovative methods.
7.3. Classification of innovative methods.
7.4. Interactive forms of lesson organizing.
7.5. Current methods of language teaching.
7.1. The main factors of Innovative activity It is well-known that modern development of the society brings a new innovative approach to education and also into the teachers and students’ activity. Within this course innovation means the introduction of something new, a new idea, method or device into FLT and learning process. This new trend in education appeared in the 60th last century and has been existed since that time. For example, at present implementation of CEFR standard in our system of FLT is considered as innovation. Innovative activity has been investigated in the works by T.N. Gonobolin, B.A.Slastenin and others. Some matters of management of innovative activity have been discussed in the works of D. Admilton, R Karlson, Dj. Basset and others. As it is stressed in the pedagogical literature the innovative process has six stages:
1. The occurrence of a new idea or conception.
2. Creation of novelty.
3. Implementation of this novelty into practice.
4. Dissemination of the novelty.
5. Within some periods of time a competitor of this novelty appears.
6. Within certain time the novelty can be shortened and replaced with another novelty.
Thus, novel technology can’t be existing for a long time and itis naturally replaced by a new one or modernized with other elements according to the society needs. It is necessary to deal with some traditionalteaching issues. Let’s discuss how a well-planned lesson influences the efficiency of FLT and efficiency ofa warming-up stage influences the further stages of the lesson. There is a saying - “a good beginning leads to a good child”. That’s true, if a teacher is able to organize a language learning process productively, the good results in teaching are guaranteed. Nowadays a teacher should avoid old traditional ways of imparting knowledge and developing language sub-skills and skills. The traditional ways of organizing teaching propose using the information-based method. In this case learners believe that teacher’s information is the only correct one. And they have no desire to think, to discuss and to express their point of view on the material being presented. They are passive learners; there is lack of motivation and no creative thinking. Here a teaching process is oriented on the whole group; in other words, this is a class-oriented teaching. And the learner’s tasks are to listen, understand,repeat thisinformation and tell it back again at the next lesson. The innovative approach of organizing a teaching process is different from that one. Within an innovative approach at thebeginning of the lesson a teacher should explain the aim and objectives of the lesson and the expected results at the end of the lesson; motivate them during the lesson with the help of material and different tools. In this case the learners acquire knowledge actively with interest and can ask questions or express their ideas on the material being presented. And the teacher keeps their activity by motivating, inspiring them and using active methods and technical tools. The teacher gives the chance for the learners to create an atmosphere for discussion and expressing their ideas freely without hesitation and thread of making errors. It is then feasible to adjust teaching procedures to the language learners, taking account of their age, ability, needsand interests.A qualified teacher can guide and assist the learners in the process oflanguage learning and provide them with feedback about their progress.
