ЖАНРОВЫЙ ПОДХОД В ОБУЧЕНИИ ЯЗЫКУ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ СМИ И ИНТЕРНЕТА (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА) *
Аннотация:
в работе рассматриваются основные жанры языка средств массовой информации на материале британского медийного дискурса и разрабатывается комплекс упражнений в рамках каждого из них с целью использования на занятиях по дисциплине «Язык современных СМИ и Интернета» в высшей школе, а также на уроках английского языка в медиаклассах.
Ключевые слова:
жанр, медийный дискурс, электронные СМИ, печатные СМИ, вещательные СМИ, реклама
Сегодня термин жанр утвердился и распространился на нехудожественные тексты, которые представляют собой сложившиеся устойчивые разновидности разнообразных речевых произведений, обслуживающих различные сферы речевой деятельности. По мнению исследователя жанра В.А. Тырыгиной, в самом понятии жанра содержатся признаки подчинения и разделения. Иными словами, всякий жанр несет в себе информацию об определенной сфере человеческой деятельности, в рамках которой он сложился и существует, задачам и требованиям которой он непосредственно подчиняется (признак подчинения), с одной стороны, с другой, -- информацию о специфическом круге задач, свойственных только ему, в отличие от других жанров, бытующих в данной сфере человеческой деятельности (признак разделения). [1, с.8].В настоящей статье предпринята попытка рассмотреть жанры средств массовой информации в рамках преподавания дисциплины «Язык современных СМИ и Интернета» в высшей школе на факультетах/институтах иностранных языков и предложить спектр различных заданий на английском языке на материале жанров британского масс-медийного дискурса. Также сейчас создаются медиаклассы в московских школах, в них изучают язык СМИ, углубленно изучают английский и русский языки для последующей успешной работы в сфере медиакоммуникаций и журналистики. Актуальность данной работы объясняется значимостью изучения языка средств массовой информации в рамках нового направления подготовки «Медиалингвистика» в высшей школе и также необходимостью его изучения с учетом появления в школах Москвы медиаклассов. Категория жанра является фундаментальной при обучении языку средств массовой информации. Однако нашей целью не являются выявление проблем и природы жанрообоазования в современном медийном дискурсе. В качестве критерия жанрообразования основополагающим в нашей работе является канал распространения информации. Таким образом, в данной работе представлены следующие жанровые номинации:Электронные СМИ (Internet/Electronic/Digital Media) (Interpersonal Media – emails, instant messaging, online chat; Social Media – social networking site, webinar, wiki, discussion forum, online survey, blog, podcast, bookmarking sites; Internet – based radio, TV, press) Печатные СМИ (Print Media) (Newspapers and Magazines), Вещательные СМИ (Broadcast Media) (Radio and Television), Реклама (Advertising) (Print, Broadcast, Web, Outdoor).Жанрово-ориентированный подход в медийном образовании определяется нами как целенаправленное освоение жанровых форм медийной речи и включает в себя последовательное достижение уровня жанровой грамотности и уровня жанровой компетентности в рамках изучения языка средств массовой информации.Наиболее актуальным и вездесущим жанром является, бесспорно, электронные СМИ (Digital Media), в соотношении с которым остальные жанры, как-то печатные и вещательные СМИ (Print and Broadcast Media), считаются “old school” или вымирающими. Следовательно, их рассмотрение на занятиях по языку СМИ уместно проводить в исторической ретроспективе, при этом касаясь и перспектив развития данных медийных сфер.Разработанный комплекс упражнений на английском языке по медийным жанрам подчиняется в нашей работе следующему алгоритму и обобщает эмпирический опыт преподавания дисциплины «Язык современных СМИ и Интернета» (английский язык) в высшей школе:Вопросный комплекс, вводящий тему;Лингвостилистические особенности некоторых поджанров, составляющих тот или иной медийный жанр;Темы примерных сообщений/презентаций для студентов по медийным жанрамВ рамках темы Электронные СМИ (Digital Media) предлагается следующий вопросный комплекс для обсуждения:What images spring to mind when you hear the word “media”?What is the media?Do you like the fact that today media coverage of world events is instantaneous and extensive?Do you believe the media?How would your life be different without the Internet?Do you think you are web-savvy – that is, do you have a good understanding of the Internet?When was the last time you went online?

Headline conventions:Headlines are written in much larger type size than the article text, and often in a different font entirely. Most newspapers feature a very large headline on their front page (front page headlines), dramatically describing the biggest news of the day.

Think about the advantages and disadvantages of broadcast media.В контексте Broadcast Media рассмотрим рекомендации на английском языке по написанию телевизионных и радио новостей. How to write broadcast news storiesWriting for television, radio or video requires a different set of skills than writing text. Clear and condensed writing is key. After all, a radio listener or TV viewer can't go back and re-read a sentence.To improve your broadcast writing, some multimedia producers recommend that you open a major newspaper, pick any news article, and try reading the first paragraph aloud.You'll probably find that "it’s long and dry," he says, "and you’ll run out of breath before finishing it."Here are some key tips:Write like you speak: Write in your own voice, in a conversational tone, as if you’re speaking to only one listener. Keep sentences short. If you have a long sentence, follow it up with a short one. When you go back and read your narration aloud, do you truly sound like yourself?Keep it simple: Allot a sentence to each idea. Be clear and concise, stick to the story and don't try too hard to be "clever." Too much detail can become irrelevant and make the story lose focus. Avoid most multiple-syllable words, words that are tough to pronounce and long, convoluted sentences. "Treasure small words,"Provide specificity: Although the goal is to write clearly, you must also avoid being too general. Dillon says reporters should provide context for anything that may cause confusion or "raise eyebrows." When describing people, don't label them. Tell exactly what they do as opposed to using their official title.Tell stories in a logical order: Make sure that your content has a beginning, a middle and an ending. Don't bury the lead; state the news near the top, without too much buildup.Use the present tense and active voice: You're writing for flow and to express what is going on now. Broadcast strives for immediacy. To convey this to the listener, use the active voice whenever possible. In English, try to use a subject-verb-object sentence structure. For example: "Police (subject) have arrested (verb) 21 activists (object) for staging a protest at Merlion Park on Saturday afternoon."Write to the pictures: TV and video audiences will see why something happened. In television, the phrase “write to tape” is used to describe the way a story script is built around the visual images you have gathered. Don't write any longer than the story or pictures warrant.Use imagery: Radio audiences need to imagine the people, places and things in your story. With your words, create powerful and straightforward imagery. Use descriptive verbs instead of adjectives. For example, if you say “he struts or saunters” you’re giving a picture without using an adjective. But don't let vivid, imagery-rich writing turn verbose. Use words sparingly.

Word limit 90 – 110Use the language of advertising slogans (stylistic devices – onomatopoeia, alliteration, rhyme, metaphor, word play, epithets, lexical repetition: grammatical features - parts of speech – personal pronouns, verbs and adjectives, imperatives, comparative and superlative adjectives [2, с.108].A body copy (an advertising text)The keywords, punch lines or phrases that seize the attention of the potential consumers or some component in the ad that attracts the target audience is essential in a good advertising copy. An ad copy must be brief and clear, i.e. it must be to the point. It doesn’t mean that the copy must omit the important elements of the ad. A clear copy is easy and quick to be read by the readers. It is self-explanatory, definite, and precise. Clarity makes way for interpretation.Visualization means to think in terms of visuals or pictures.

Каждый из них подразделяется на список дочерних жанров, которые являются разновидностью описываемого жанра и его подкатегорией. Также в рамках медийного жанра предлагается вопросный комплекс, вводящий в тему, то есть даются вопросы в режиме warming up. В контексте каждого жанра излагается пошаговое руководство на английском языке по написанию того или иного поджанра в академических целях (блог, статья, телевизионные и радио новости и рекламный текст). Блок в работе, посвященный примерным темам сообщений/презентаций по изучаемым медийным жанрам, стимулирует интеллектуальный и творческий поиск студентов и учащихся.Как известно, язык современных СМИ и Интернета редко изучается в рамках школьной программы и это также новая дисциплина в высшей школе в институтах иностранных языков, поэтому учителю и преподавателю потребуется самостоятельно искать и разрабатывать дополнительный материал для осуществления работы с различными жанрами СМИ на уроках в медиаклассах, в рамках элективных курсов по русскому/английскому языку и в рамках дисциплины «Язык современных СМИ и Интернета» в высшей школе. Материал данной статьи может успешно применяться в качестве дополнительного в процессе изучения языка СМИ школьниками и студентами как средних, так и высших учебных заведений, а также он может быть использован для специальных целей при обучении маркетологов, копирайтеров, журналистов.
