           Заключение.

Подводя итоги настоящего исследования, следует  еще раз подчеркнуть, что основное назначение иностранного языка как  предметной области вузовского обучения состоит в овладении учащимися умением общаться на иностранном языке.

Умение  общаться на иностранном языке не осуществимо без умения восприятия иноязычной речи на слух. Аудирование  отнюдь не является легким видом речевой  деятельности, над проблемой аудирования  работает целый ряд отечественных  и зарубежных исследователей, которые  занимаются различными аспектами: как  содержание обучения аудированию, технология обучения аудированию, трудности аудирования, лексические умения аудирования  и другое.

Особое внимание в методике преподавания иностранному языку уделяется лексическим умениям аудирования, поскольку очевидна необходимость формирования данных умений аудирования как важной способности человека понимать иноязычное сообщение на уровне слова, сочетания слов, а также контекста, в котором они представлены.

Конечной целью обучения аудированию является приобретение студентом умений и навыков восприятия и понимания иноязычной речи на слух, что поможет ему, в свою очередь, принимать участие в актах  устного общения.

В работе была подробно представлена роль аутентичных видеоматериалов  в обучении иностранному языку, их функции  и обучающий потенциал.

         Нами  был  разработан и представлен комплекс упражнений для работы с аутентичным иноязычным видеоматериалом, что привело нас к выводу, что  комплекс приемов работы с аутентичным фильмом является эффективным средством развития лексических умений школьников.

         В ходе  исследования мы достигли поставленной  цели и выполнили намеченные  нами задачи.
