Использование краеведения на уроках английского языка и во внеклассной деятельности

Общение представителей различных языков и культур осуществляется с наибольшей полнотой и эффективностью в том случае, когда в процессе преподавания ИЯ значительное место отводится родной национальной культуре.
Краеведческий материал о культуре, природе и географии родных мест, об истории малой родины существенно расширяет кругозор учащихся. Знание краеведения дает возможность поделиться культурной составляющей своего города и помогает через знание родного края приобщиться к мировой культуре и ценностям.
Цель краеведения: изучить, изведать, познать малую родину, где человек появился на свет и вырос.
Именно использование краеведения поможет учащимся стать настоящими гражданами, как своей страны, так и мира.

The Astrakhan region is distinguished by its rather high culture level and ancient cultural traditions. Astrakhan is the regional centre, it remains an attracting area for all the guests of this 452-year old ancient city. The entire architecture dates back to the XVI-XX centuries. Numerous archeological diggings narrate about a far more ancient history of this city. Boundless steppe expanses have become burial mounds for the numerous militant Savromat-Sarmatian tribes, enshrining household goods and ritual decorations, armory and bones of sacrificial animals.
Founded in 1837 the Astrakhan State Joint Historic-Architectural Museum and Reserve appears to be the largest museum association in the Volga region, comprising 6 urban and 8 rural branches: local lore museum , "The Kremlin", museum of culture of Astrakhan, museum of the town's history, museum of military fame, museum of medical history, museum of Kurmangazy Sagyrbaev in the village of Altynzhar, museum of history of fishing in the village of Ikryanoe, historic-local lore museums in the villages of Krasny Yar, Cherny Yar, Liman, museum of history of fishing in the village of Oranzherei, museum of "Russian watermelon" and "Selitrennoe Gorodische".
The Astrakhan Kremlin – a worthy monument of military and engineering art of building of the second half of the XVI century, appears to be the number-one sight of the city. This architectural ensemble comprises 7 towers, linked together by means of brick battlements, representing a complex fortification, the Assumption Cathedral in the Moscow Barocco style with the largest in Russia Lobnoe Mesto (Execution site), the Trinity Cathedral (built in 1568), the Nikolskaya Gate church, the Episcopal Yard with preserved facade tiles depicting the scenes from «Alexandria», military establishments (barracks, guard houses etc.).
The Assumption Cathedral of the Astrakhan Kremlin is a resting place of the two Georgian Tsars Vakhtang VI (1675-1737) and Teimuraz II (1700-1762), it is also a burial place of the hallows of the saint martyrs Archbishop of Astrakhan and Tersk Feodosy (died in 1606) and Metropolit of Astrakhan and Tersk Joseph (1579-1671). The historic centre of Astrakhan is a museum in itself.
Prominent European architects Alexander Digby, Carlo Depedri, Luigi Rusca and others performed here. Mass real-estate developments of the end of the XVIII-XIX centuries are still preserved: the house of the Astrakhan Governor-General, the edifice of the City council, the Live College, the Mariinskaya gymnasium. Among other sights of Astrakhan there are also the Voznesensky (the Ascension monastery) previously named the Blagoveschensky monastery (the Annunciation friary) and the John the Ancestor friary (founded in the XVII century). One of the most ancient buildings on the territory of the former White city of Astrakhan is the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery (the Monastery of the Savior) built in the first half of the XVII century. Numerous Armenian, Persian and Indian trade yards, dating back to the XVIII-XIX centuries, impart an inimitable look to the centre of Astrakhan. The Roman-Greek Catholic Church is a unique building constructed in 1762-1778. It became the third in Russia catholic cathedral (after the similar in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg). [1]
